D pollster @TheRealERS notes Trump's net job approval was -10 in 18. Now it's at least -20, but D lead in generic now is much smaller than their pop vote victory then. “Dems have failed to convert a tenth of the...electorate that has turned against Trump in a way they never have"

[Ronald Brownstein @RonBrownstein]

Trump’s job approval rating has plummeted below the level that triggered midterm wave elections vs Clinton 94, W. Bush in 2006, Obama in 2010 & Trump himself in 2018. And yet most surveys do not show Dems establishing a clear advantage in the key races that will decide control.

(Bloomberg) -- Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaumand Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney will travel to the US to attend Sunday’s World Cup final on President Donald Trump’s invitation, creating the opportunity for a reset after a month filled with regional tensions.

President Trump threatened to impose tariffs on Canada in retaliation for wildfire smoke, but it was not clear that he has the legal authority to impose such a levy.

Trump wrote in a Truth Social post that the cost of the pollution was “incalculable.” https://t.co/UxTWeZICBn

The White House & FIFA are in active discussions about the air quality in NY/NJ ahead of Sunday's World Cup final. Andrew Giuliani tells me they're "hopeful" contingency plans won't be needed & will monitor over next 24 hours. National Weather Service has been engaged throughout.

Jonathan Swan says that when President Trump returned to office, he pressured the intelligence community to produce some kind of evidence proving that the 2020 election was stolen, and that Trump’s Thursday night address was the best they could do.

Jonathan Swan: One way of looking at last night is as the culmination of an almost six-year effort. We have some reporting in the book that, in early 2021, Trump was telling people privately that he thought he could be reinstated as president that summer and was being encouraged by some people around him that this was a possibility.

When he came back into power this term, he started to put pretty intense pressure on the intelligence community to come up with some kind of evidence that could prove the 2020 election was stolen.

Last night, one way of looking at it is that this is the best they can do. Essentially, this was their best effort to prove that case. Of course, they didn’t. But that’s the genesis of last night.

Ben Ginsberg, who for decades was the go-to election law expert for national Republicans, says, "This feels a little bit like an own goal. The administration has cut back on the cyber security agency, CISA, and the Department of Justice outfit that helps states so that, if there is a problem with the 2026 election, it will be in large part because the defenses that are provided by the federal government to the states to stop that activity have been drastically cut back."

NEW: John Solomon acknowledges no votes were changed in the 2020, 2022 or 2024 elections. He also, when asked if the 2020 results showing Biden won the presidential election are accurate, said, “I'm researching.” And says no intell that Venezuela tempered with US voting machines.

When Biden gave his primetime Independence Hall address in 2022 (the one with the scary red background that people still post images of), ABC ran Press Your Luck, NBC ran a Law & Order rerun, and CBS ran a Young Sheldon rerun.

The other big piece tonight:

2) Bill Pulte & John Solomon were tasked--in just the last month--w/ sifting through millions of documents.

Ratcliffe & Gabbard had access for 16 months.

We are told that WH had been briefed on avail raw intel in 2025 -- but no public statements.
