Voters in a part of the state that swung for Mr. Trump in 2016 have largely overlooked his recent attacks on four congresswomen.
| | | July 23, 2019 | Morning Edition | | | | Good Tuesday morning. Here are some of the stories making news in Washington and politics today. | |
| _____________________ | | • As President Trump signaled his intent to use identity politics and nationalism in his campaign, his message did not appear to be backfiring with Republicans. In red Michigan, voters agreed with Mr. Trump’s “Love It or Leave It” message, instead focusing their ire on Democrats and voicing strong support for his re-election. | | • White House officials and congressional lawmakers are nearing a deal that would increase government spending levels over the next two years and raise the federal borrowing limit. If passed by Congress and signed by Mr. Trump, it would avert a default crisis this fall and avoid automatic spending cuts next year. | | • Hundreds of thousands of people overtook San Juan, P.R., on Monday, shutting down a major highway and paralyzing much of the city in protest over a deep dissatisfaction with Puerto Rico’s governor and fury over years of recession, mismanagement, natural disaster and corruption. | | • The Trump administration will move to expand fast-tracked deportations. What does this mean? Immigrants who cannot prove they have had legal status to reside in the United States for longer than two years could be deported without being given a court hearing. | | | | • The president said he has no intention of watching Robert S. Mueller III testify before Congress on Wednesday, denouncing Democrats for “wasting their time.” But Mr. Trump’s history of remaining glued to television news suggests that he is certain to be tuned in, and probably tweeting about it too. | | • If you are planning on watching Mr. Mueller’s testimony, here are 19 questions we think should be asked. | | • A new study by the Pew Research Center paints a dreary picture of trust in the U.S., particularly around government and the news media, though a vast majority think that can improve. | | • The Trump administration is imposing economic penalties on a Chinese company for importing Iranian oil, a decision certain to add to tensions between Washington and Beijing. | | | | • Wendy Davis, whose marathon filibuster as a Texas state senator turned her into an overnight political star, is running for a House seat currently held by a freshman Republican. | | _____________________ | | Today’s On Politics briefing was compiled by Isabella Grullón Paz in New York. | | Were you forwarded this newsletter?
