President Donald Trump has suddenly grown interested in his former campaign manager's role in steering government contracts.

The 79-year-old president has been peppering aides with questions in recent days about longtime adviser Corey Lewandowski, who had been acting as de facto chief of staff to recently fired Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, and his involvement in a controversial $220 million advertising campaign, reported NBC News.

As Republicans’ midterm election prospects grow increasingly bleak, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) delivered a unique pitch to voters Tuesday while speaking at a Florida resort owned by President Donald Trump — a pitch that labeled voters who don’t support GOP candidates this November as “foolish.”

A new NBC News poll released Monday revealed that Democrats are well-positioned to take back control of the House this November, with some Republicans now fearing they may also lose control of the Senate. Even a prominent Republican – Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) – predicted that the upcoming midterms would be “disastrous” for the GOP.

President Donald Trump pledged over the weekend to veto all legislation until Congress passes his voter-requirements bill, the SAVE Act — and, in doing so, may have set off a chain of events that could compel Senate Republicans to overturn a 220-year rule and grant themselves unprecedented power, one congressional scholar warned Tuesday.

Top Republicans have grown increasingly fearful that their party may end up losing control of the Senate in the midterm elections this November. And, with Trump now vowing to block all bills until the passage of the SAVE Act, Senate Republicans, according to congressional scholar Norm Ornstein, might eliminate the filibuster out of desperation to “save their own skins.”

Two Florida Donald Trump voters expressed their dismay at exploding gas prices on MS NOW on Tuesday morning, with one grudgingly admitting he misses President Joe Biden — and that he is now broke.

As part of a report with host Anna Cabrera on the economic impact of Trump’s war on Iran, with oil prices going through the roof, MS NOW’s Alex Tabet spoke with the two men at a filling station in Lantana, Florida.

Pro-MAGA morning hosts David Brody, Gina Loudon, and Terrence Bates expressed full-throated support for Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's "religious war" in Iran after he quoted scripture to support the U.S. strikes.

"Religious war! It's on!" Brody exclaimed during a Real America's Voice segment following Hegseth's Tuesday briefing. "I'm telling you that's happening. We've always looked at this from a Judeo-Christian standpoint, as relates to spiritual warfare. We know that God is richly blessed America."

A lawyer serving as President Donald Trump's pardon attorney for the Justice Department has been formally accused of misconduct.

The District of Columbia Bar filed ethics charges against DOJ pardon attorney Ed Martin over a threatening letter he sent last year, when he was serving as interim U.S. attorney, to the Georgetown University Law Center questioning its diversity and inclusion policies, reported CBS News.

Sen. Rand Paul warned of a "disastrous election" if President Donald Trump did not end his war against Iran.

"As far as the reasons for the war, there have been many different reasons floated, but none of them, I think, have been very convincing," Paul told Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo on Tuesday. "Another statement has been made, well, they're a week away from a nuclear weapon. You can take clips from the '90s all the way through the present of people arguing that they're a week away from nuclear weapons."

CNN's John Berman highlighted a major question about the Iran war that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth steered clear of addressing.

Hegseth and Gen. Dan Caine, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, provided an update Tuesday morning about Operation Epic Fury, but the defense secretary refused to address a definitive timeline for the conflict.
