Primaries to Test Whether GOP Has Room for Politicians Who Cross Trump

from WSJ What’s News · host The Wall Street Journal

A.M. Edition for May 19. The outcome of a handful of primaries across the country could signal whether Republicans are willing to adopt a form of MAGA politics that embraces leaders who break with President Trump, including Thomas Massie in Kentucky, WSJ’s Washington coverage chief Damian Paletta says. Plus, oil prices slide on the prospect of a potential peace deal between Iran and the U.S. And with blocked data centers, plummeting poll numbers and booed commencement speeches, the American rebellion against artificial intelligence is gaining steam.
