Which primary races are opening and where are polls just opening?
The polls are just opening in two more states. I'm Dave Anthony, Fox News. An hour after primary voting got underway in Virginia, the race getting the most attentions in Michigan, where a Democrat who says he's not a socialist is running for Senate on a progressive platform.
I believe in the opportunity we have in front of us to correct both the moral failures of the past. And the moral failures of our president.
Abdul Al-Sayed is taking on Congresswoman Haley Stevens. Hamas appears... And then Haley Stevens is a candidate who is more considered moderate. The Republican winning the Democrat in this case will face Mike Rogers, the Republican.
Who is Abdul El-Sayed and how is he framing his Senate challenge in Michigan?
In Missouri, a progressive Democrat is trying to return to Congress.
This is a last chance for them to sign a... Good document.
That's President Trump. He says that they're working on a deal with Iran. He called off a big attack over the weekend, pushing for a deal to denuclearize Iran and fully open the Strait of Hormuz, where another ship did get attacked.
The cargo ship reported being hit by an unknown projectile at 2 a.m. local time, well about 23 miles northeast of the Omani coast. Iran says no negotiations with the United States are scheduled. Tehran, however, claims it is talking to Oman about reopening the Strait of Hormuz.
That's Fox's Jonathan Savage. The first two deaths are reported in Michigan in the nasty outbreak of diarrhea-inducing cyclosporiasis.
Officials say both people had underlying health conditions that may have been impacted by the parasite. The deaths come as the state's total cases top over 11,000 and nearly 200 people in the hospital. Federal officials are still investigating the source of what they say are multiple separate outbreaks.
That's Fox's Ashley Strohmeyer. And back to the contest today. There are also primaries in addition to Michigan, Missouri, and Virginia. Contests in Kansas and Washington State. America's listening to Fox News. This is Jay Clayton's first full day at his new job, Director of National Intelligence, sworn in after the Senate confirmed Clayton last week.
Which other state primaries and congressional matchups are voters deciding today?
Now, a Senate committee is expected to vote today to advance another nomination for Acting Attorney General Todd Blanch, who paved the way for potential confirmation Sunday night, formally rescinding the anti-weaponization fund that had initially been set up in the Trump IRS tax settlement for people claiming to be political targets by the Biden or Obama Justice Departments. The president still supports it.
I thought it would be very fair for people that spent years in prison, people that were treated so badly, for in many cases people that did absolutely nothing wrong. So I view that fund as a positive, and a lot of Republicans do too.
But not Senators John Cornyn and Tom Tillis, who had vowed to vote against Blanche if he didn't get rid of that fund in writing. The president also keeps insisting the Washington, D.C. reflecting pool he had fixed. was vandalized after a contractor put down a blue sealant along the bottom.
The softest part has to be flexible. And that's the stuff you can cut. And these guys knew what they were doing. And they cut all the way along the base.
Cut, cut, cut. And he's upset the U.S. attorney for D.C., Janine Pirro, dropped the case last week against one of the accused vandals.
Really disappointed with Janine Pirro. She... She folded like an umbrella.
The U.S. attorney filed a motion Friday to dismiss a felony indictment against former Olympic canoe racer David Hearn. In the filing, prosecutors say the Interior Department was slow to provide evidence that shows peeling to the reflecting pool's sealant was likely caused by a rushed and botched job by a contractor and not an act of vandalism. At the White House, Jared Halpern, Fox News.
On Wall Street, more gains are brewing.
What developments are happening with Iran, the Strait of Hormuz, and reported ship attacks?
Dow futures up about 300 points the morning after the Dow surged up more than double that. I'm Dave Anthony. This is Fox News.
