CNN's data chief says non-college voters have swung a full 32 points away from Trump since 2024 [what the numbers actually show, and where MAGA's approval sits now]. Behind closed doors, the president has reportedly told donors who he wants in the White House in 2028 [who, and what he said publicly when reporters asked]. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is keeping two options open for 2028 and won't rule out a run [what she said on ABC, and the seat she was asked about]. Trump doubled down on his claim that the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool was vandalized, pointing to one man and a witness he calls highly credible [who was charged, and why the case fell apart]. And a new poll gives a Democrat the edge in a deep red state's Senate race [which state, and where the movement came from].
