from The A.M. Update

Aaron McIntire breaks down why he thinks President Trump is setting up a rough midterm environment for Republicans, pointing to repetitive Iran talking points and Trump's public criticism of DC US Attorney Jeanine Pirro over a dropped vandalism case. He covers growing Republican Senate support for Todd Blanche's Attorney General nomination after a deal to end the anti-weaponization fund. Aaron also covers New York City's new city-run grocery store ID requirements under Mayor Zohran Mamdani, and NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers mocking Dr. Anthony Fauci's Fifth Amendment pleas at Steelers training camp. He shares his take on Caitlin Clark's silence regarding teammate Sophie Cunningham's comments on women's sports, and highlights Florida Governor Ron DeSantis's remarks on state immigration enforcement powers. Aaron closes with an encouraging health update from Conduit Clothing Company's Evan Ghen on his cancer treatment.
