Tonight on The Tony Kinnett Cast — live at 7PM ET on The Daily Signal's YouTube channel.
Florida holds its primary today — governor, Senate, and House races all on the ballot in the last major primary batch before November. Meanwhile Chuck Schumer just quietly told the Washington Post Democrats can win the Senate even without Michigan, an extraordinary admission about Abdul El-Sayed's chances there. And Iran just fired two ballistic missiles at the UAE, prompting Abu Dhabi to cut off all trade and financial ties with Tehran on the same day Trump posted a graphic labeling the Strait of Hormuz "new U.S. territory."
TONIGHT'S RUNDOWN:
- Florida's primary is today — the last major primary of the cycle — with key governor, Senate, and House races we're tracking as results come in tonight
- Chuck Schumer tells the Washington Post Democrats can retake the Senate even if Abdul El-Sayed loses Michigan, a stunning hedge as the party quietly shifts hope toward Georgia and Sen. Jon Ossoff — who's facing fresh scrutiny of his own, including nearly $3,000 in campaign spending on a Hollywood makeup artist and a new "theater kid" nickname from the White House
- Iran fires two ballistic missiles at the UAE — the first attack on Emirati territory in months — prompting the UAE to cut off all trade and financial transactions with Tehran, as President Trump posts a graphic labeling the Strait of Hormuz "new U.S. territory"
- A federal appeals court rules against ICE's policy of making warrantless arrests at churches, temples, and mosques, the latest in a wave of court fights over immigration enforcement nationwide
