In a massive rebuke to the Trump administration, the bipartisan Iowa Farmers Union is endorsing 18 Democratic candidates in the November elections, while backing just two Republicans. CBS News national correspondent Lana Zak reports.
The bipartisan Iowa Farmers Union has endorsed 18 Democratic candidates and two Republicans for the November elections, which CBS News describes as a massive rebuke to the Trump administration.
Separately, Democratic leaders in the U.S. House of Representatives have condemned a raid on the home of Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar. CBC News notes that Omar is a frequent target of personal attacks from President Donald Trump and that the raid occurred weeks before the midterm elections.
According to Euromaidan Press, some members of the American right are claiming that Ukraine is deliberately striking Russian oil refineries to raise fuel prices to benefit the Democratic Party ahead of the November vote. Ukrainian journalist Ostap Yarysh reports that this claim has spread from social media to members of Congress and national television.
While Utah Senator Mike Lee suggested on X that President Zelenskyy is working to help Democrats, experts cited by Yarysh attribute fuel-price spikes primarily to the U.S. war with Iran and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz.
