What are the latest updates on U.S.-Iran negotiations?
The clock is ticking on the ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran as officials from both countries head back to the negotiating table today.
Going into these negotiations, we have significant leverage that we didn't have the last time.
I'm Georgia Howe with Daily Wire executive editor John Bickley. It's Tuesday, April 21st, and this is Morning Wire.
Virginians head to the polls today for a referendum that could reshape the state's congressional map and tilt the balance of power in Washington.
This could be the way that we actually decide which party is going to control Congress in 2027.
And President Trump is clearing the way for psychedelics research, the pitch helping Americans overcome addiction and PTSD, particularly veterans.
In many cases, these experimental treatments have shown
Life-changing potential for those suffering, including our cherished veterans. Thanks for waking up with Morning Wire. Stay tuned. We have the news you need to know.

A U.S. diplomatic team led by Vice President Vance is expected to head to Pakistan today to meet with an Iranian team that may or may not show up.
Daily Wire contributor Tim Pierce is here to give us the latest on the war in Iran. So, Tim, after the negotiations to end the war fell apart over the weekend, we're now down to the wire to reach a deal before the ceasefire ends. What's going on?
How could Virginia's redistricting referendum impact Congress?

Here's a snippet from yesterday, quote, honoring commitment is the basis of meaningful dialogue. Deep historical mistrust in Iran towards U.S.
