Today's top stories, with context, in just 15 minutes.
On today's podcast:
1) Ed Gallrein, President Trump's hand-picked candidate, defeated Thomas Massie in a congressional primary in Northern Kentucky. Gallrein's victory is seen as a sign of Trump's grip over his base in solid Republican states, despite national surveys showing the broader electorate souring on the president's handling of issues. The primary was one of the most expensive on record, with nearly $33 million spent.
2) President Trump threatened to resume strikes on Iran in the coming days as part of the push for a deal to end the war. The Republican-led US Senate signaled opposition to continuing the war with a procedural vote on Tuesday evening that reflected deepening unease over a foreign conflict. Vice President JD Vance projected a slightly more positive tone on the negotiations, saying "we think that we've made a lot of progress, we think the Iranians want to make a deal," but also threatened a resumption of strikes.
3) Talks between Samsung and its largest labor union broke down, raising the prospect of a strike that may disrupt global chip supply and hamper Korean economic growth. A general work stoppage will go ahead after Samsung’s management rejected a proposal from government mediators that had been accepted by the union, according to labor leader Choi Seung-ho. The collapse in negotiations puts the global technology supply chain at risk because Samsung is the world’s biggest supplier of chips that go into devices from data center servers to smartphones and electric vehicles.
