Summary
President Trump's revenge tour continues: Kentucky Republican Thomas Massie lost his primary and his candidate in the Georgia Senate race advanced to a runoff, hoping to beat Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff. Anthony Salvanto breaks down the primary numbers. Staying in the Peach State, former Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms clinched her win in the Democratic primary, and she has her eye on becoming Governor. She discusses what led to her breaking the 50% threshold and what policies she's hoping to implement to combat inflation. Nevada Democratic Senator Jacky Rosen joins to discuss her new bipartisan legislation with Oklahoma Republican James Lankford regarding federal actions to tackle antisemitism. Plus, the U.S. officially indicts Raul Castro on a crime he allegedly committed three decades ago: downing two planes which led to the deaths of four people. Margaret Brennan gives us the toplines of this announcement and what it means for U.S.-Cuba relations. All that and more on The Takeout.
