Iran said it is done dealing with the two emissaries Donald Trump has tasked with leading negotiations in the Middle East.
The country, which Trump began striking over three weeks ago, is not keen on any more attempts at negotiations with Trump’s Special Envoy to the Middle East,
Steve Witkoff, or Trump’s son-in-law,
Jared Kushner, both of whom were leading the nuclear negotiations with Iran before the war.
Iran now says it will only engage in negotiations with Vice Pr…

Trump got involved in a state Senate race — and he might lose
“Phil Berger has my Complete and Total Endorsement for Re-Election,” Trump wrote on social media,
making no mention of redistricting in a long list of Berger’s accomplishments.
He urged Berger’s opponent

who was 81 when he dropped out of the race,
but it’s growing as an issue for
the 79-year-old Trump.
