Reporter: Are you attending your son’s wedding? Trump: He’d like me to go. I’m going to try. I said, this is not good timing for me. I have a thing called Iran and other things. He’s a person I’ve known for a long time.
I love how the conspiracy pushed on here was that the DNC blocked the autopsy because of what it said about Gaza when in fact it doesn't mention that & they didn't put it out bc it seems to have been written by a 5th grader. Perfect encapsulation of the discourse around the DNC.

Trump's Texas fallout --> "It saddened me," Sen. Jerry Moran, R-Kan., told Semafor of Trump’s decision to back Paxton. "I don't know what you can complain about on John Cornyn ... probably no senator that has done more to support other Republican senators. And I don't know anything that he's done that's offensive in a significant way to the president" "I don't understand it," said Sen. Collins "This puts that seat in jeopardy," said Sen. Murkowski Graham estimates seat will cost 3 times more to defend Marshall says "of course" he still backs Cornyn: "Still digesting" the news Cornyn's sin was saying Republicans can "do better" than Trump in 2023 and hoping for a different 2024 nominee. This was not an outlier view at the time -- in fact he was probably speaking for many members.

Everybody recognizes it … it’s definitely a better story for Talarico than if he’s running against Cornyn"
