What's in a foreign-sounding name? Trump's first House primary loss

In Michigan's primary elections, Republican newcomer Thomas Smith won in the 8th District, defeating Donald Trump-endorsed Amir Hassan. Democrat Abdul El-Sayed narrowly won the Senate primary, according to The Hill.

A federal appeals court has ordered the Trump administration to stop construction of a $400 million ballroom on the site of the White House's demolished East Wing. The court ruled that a president cannot fundamentally reshape the White House without congressional approval, as reported by France 24 and the South China Morning Post.

The court's ruling was placed on hold for 14 days, allowing the Trump administration to appeal to the US Supreme Court, as reported by Live Mint. The decision was a 2-1 order from the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, according to the South China Morning Post.
