Welcome to The Beat. I'm Antonia Hilton in this evening for Ari Melburgh. Today, Tulsi Gabbard became the latest woman to leave Donald Trump's cabinet.

She submitted her resignation as the nation's director of national intelligence after her husband was diagnosed with a rare form of bone cancer.

In a social media post, Donald Trump wrote, quote,

Unfortunately, after having done a great job, Tulsi Gabbard will be leaving the administration on June 30th.

Tulsi has done an incredible job and we will miss her.

Her highly respected principal deputy director of national intelligence, Aaron Lucas,

will serve as acting director of national intelligence.

The Guardian reported last month that Trump was asking cabinet members whether he should

replace Gabbard after she, quote, declined to condemn national counterterrorism center

director Joe Kent, who had resigned. After arguing that Iran did not pose an imminent threat

to the United States, the people said,

Trump expressed particular frustration about Gabbard seemingly defending Kent and appearing reluctant

to defend the administration's position to attack Iran. This comes as the latest poll from Donald

Trump's favorite channel shows that 60% of voters oppose U.S. military action in Iran up from five points last month.

The latest Fox News poll shows a deep decline in support for Trump.

Fox News reports, quote, approval of Trump's overall job performance is 39% down three points since last month and 10

points since his second term started. And only one point above his lowest in November or

October, excuse me, of 2017. A record 61% disapprove of the job he's doing, including 48% who strongly disapprove.

Trump approval is at all time lows among Republicans.

80% non-Maga Republicans, 54% whites, 43% rural voters as well.

71% disapprove of Donald Trump's handling of the economy.

58% say cost of living is the issue.
