Democratic progressives and establishment factions appeared poised to clash in upcoming primary elections across Wisconsin and Minnesota, according to US politics live updates. The contests mirror previous clashes, such as last week's heated battle in Michigan, where progressive candidate Abdul El-Sayed emerged victorious over traditional opponents.
Meanwhile, President Donald Trump was recently spotted departing Turkey aboard Air Force One, a move prompted by an alleged Iranian assassination threat, according to the Washington Post. Trump's administration has also taken notable actions, including the division of the MMR vaccine into three separate shots and an overhaul of the childhood immunization schedule, which sparked criticism from medical experts who denounced the changes as "problematic and deeply concerning."
Additionally, Trump has appointed Todd Blanche as US Attorney General, replacing former personal attorney Jeffrey Rosen, and Will Scharf as White House counsel and assistant to the president, replacing David Warrington. Scharf, currently serving as White House staff secretary, will assume the role of the White House's top lawyer.
Lawyers for Olympian David Hearn, who was recently arrested for alleged property destruction of a reflecting pool, accused the Trump administration of "continuing to attack an innocent man."
