Go to forhers.com/rushhour to get started today! Donald Trump is escalating a new political and cultural fight—this time taking aim at Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed. After El-Sayed's primary victory, Trump launched a series of personal attacks, turning the race into his latest culture war flashpoint instead of focusing on the issues facing voters. We'll break down why Trump appears to see El-Sayed as a political threat and what this battle could mean heading into the midterms. Plus, the latest developments in the Iran negotiations are raising serious questions about whether the United States is giving up too much. Reports suggest the emerging framework could leave Iran with significant leverage while failing to achieve many of the administration's original objectives, prompting criticism from across the political spectrum. We'll examine what's reportedly in the deal, why analysts are calling it a difficult position for the White House, and what it could mean for America's long-term strategic interests in the region. Join us live for the facts, context, and analysis you won't hear anywhere else.
