Trump's first major midterm money move: A $10 million Texas Senate ad blitz

The political group associated with President Donald Trump is spending USD 10 million on television and digital advertisements in the Texas Senate race, according to a Saturday filing with the Federal Election Commission. This is the first significant spending in a premier general election contest by MAGA, Inc, and reflects how a once-safe Republican seat in Texas has become viable for Democrats with the candidacy of James Talarico, a 37-year-old state representative. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is the Republican nominee in the race. Trump's endorsement helped Paxton to defeat the incumbent, Sen John Cornyn, in a May primary runoff election.

Trump calls Iran conflict 'small potatoes', backs Vance's 'not a war' stand

President Donald Trump on Friday said the conflict in Iran is "small potatoes" as he defended Vice President JD Vance for asserting that months of on-and-off attacks in the Middle East are not a "war." Asked during an Oval Office exchange about Vance's comments made a day earlier, Trump noted that US strikes on Iran are now "intermittent" and seemed to downplay the intensity of a war that's cost US taxpayers more than USD 37.5 billion and left 18 US service members dead. "I can understand what he's saying," said Trump. He added, "I call it a military conflict because it's small potatoes for us. It's not a big thing." Vance on Thursday, during a White House press briefing, rejected the use of the word "war" to describe the US fighting with Iran and steered clear of predicting that the 6-month-old conflict would be over by November's midterm elections, in which Republicans are trying to hang on to their narrow majorities in Congress.
