Good morning, Michelle.

Yeah, the president is expected to visit a local business and give a speech on the economy.

His chief of staff has touted the trip as the beginning of what will soon be weekly travel in support of Republican candidates ahead of the midterms.

But as you noted at the top, it's also part of an effort to, you know, wrestle back control of the narrative on his own terms.

Yeah, I mean, the administration has been struggling to promote Trump's economic agenda amid a number of crises, you know, abroad and here in the U.S.

And the situation in Minneapolis has only just made it harder to talk about the things that Trump wants to talk about.

I was speaking with Ryan Williams, a veteran Republican strategist.

He told me that the trip is clearly part of Trump's effort to turn the page.

And again, you mentioned how some Republicans are calling for more investigations into the second death.

There are also risks of a government shutdown being fueled by the controversy.

Yeah, absolutely.

I mean, it's certainly created some fissures within the party and not at a good time when election season is coming up fast.

As I mentioned, a number of Republican lawmakers are pushing for more details.

We also heard this weekend from Republican Governor Kevin Stitt of Oklahoma.

He's questioning Trump's broader goals.

Here he is on CNN.

And polls, Michelle, show that more Americans feel ICE tactics are going too far.

So how is the White House responding?

Well, at first, top officials rushed to declare the U.S.

citizen killed as a domestic terrorist.
