Good morning, everyone.

I'm Emily Jashinsky, host of After Party and the Megyn Kelly Wrap-Up Show on Sirius XM Channel 111.

It's Thursday, June 4th, 2026, and this is your AM Update.

Well, tonight we're not going to wait anymore.

As primary night results continue to trickle in, consequential results in Iowa and New Jersey shake up the map.

The Trump administration abandoning a nearly $1.8 billion fund designed to compensate Americans unfairly targeted by the government.

President Trump now confirming reports of a heated phone call between himself and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, as both say they're on the same page, for the most part.

and a historic showdown on Capitol Hill over the future of college sports in the era of the transfer portal and massive NIL deals.

All that and more coming up in just a moment on your AM Update.

As primary results continue to roll in across races in several different states, a stunning upset in Iowa's GOP gubernatorial primary.

Republican Zach Lane, a farmer and businessman, toppling sitting Congressman Randy Feenstra in the race.

Lane, a political outsider backed by the Make America Healthy Again, or MAHA movement, running on an anti-establishment conservative platform, while focusing in on an Iowa-first agenda.

Feenstra entering the race as the favorite, armed with name recognition, establishment support, and an endorsement from President Trump just days before primary day.

But voters handing the nomination to Lane in a very tight battle.

Here, Feenstra announcing his concession Tuesday night.

Lane declaring victory soon after getting that call.

The victory reshaping the race to replace outgoing Republican Governor Kim Reynolds, a two-term incumbent who did not run for re-election, setting up a high-stakes November showdown with Democratic state auditor Rob Sand.

A few states over, another noteworthy victory in New Jersey, with political newcomer Adam Hamoui winning New Jersey's crowded Democratic primary to replace retiring Congresswoman Bonnie Watson Coleman.

New Jersey's 12th congressional district is very heavily Democrat.

Hamoui, a retired Army combat surgeon, building his campaign around his military service, humanitarian medical missions to Gaza, and outspoken criticism of Israel's war in the territory.
