President Donald Trump revealed that the Secret Service and military pressured him to change planes in Turkey due to a threat, but he remained undeterred. He explained that he slipped away from Air Force One after a trip in Turkey, stowing away in an airport catering container to board another plane while the first aircraft was dispatched as a decoy.

Trump downplayed the seriousness of the situation, stating that he had received numerous threats. Meanwhile, primary elections are being held across six U.S. states on Tuesday, with several notable outcomes. In Minnesota, progressive Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan triumphed over centrist U.S. Rep. Angie Craig in the Democratic U.S. Senate primary.

In South Carolina, Sen. Darline Graham advanced to a runoff to replace her late brother Lindsey Graham in the U.S. Senate. In Alabama, Republican primary candidate Michael Alfonso, the son-in-law of Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, secured the nomination for Duffy's old congressional seat. In Wisconsin, the Democratic primary pits progressive Democratic socialist Francesca Hong against establishment candidate David Crowley.
