"Ukraine Aid and Immigration Reform Deal at Risk of Collapse"

Negotiations on a possible deal for Ukraine aid and immigration reform are at risk of collapsing due to disagreements over policy and funding. Lawmakers have linked the two issues, with Republicans seeking policy changes at the border before supporting Ukraine funding. While negotiators have agreed on policy, they have yet to determine funding, and conservatives are becoming increasingly skeptical. Former President Trump's opposition to the combined deal, particularly the border security portion, is complicating matters, leading Senate Republicans to fear the impact of presidential politics on the deal's viability.

Trump Returns to the Campaign Trail in Cedar Rapids

Former President Trump made a campaign stop in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, where his supporters expressed unwavering loyalty despite his legal troubles. Trump, facing 91 felony counts in four criminal cases, was defended by his supporters who believed the charges were insignificant compared to the distractions caused by Hunter Biden's controversies. Trump's absence from the first two GOP presidential debates did not bother his supporters, who were drawn to his promise of launching a revival of "economic nationalism" and restoring a way of life they felt was being eroded.
