Summary
Matt Whitlock breaks down the biggest political stories of the day: the scramble to replace Lindsey Graham in the U.S. Senate and on the 2026 South Carolina ballot, new U.S. strikes on Iranian naval assets, backlash over Ro Khanna's controversial comments on Israeli security officials, fresh scrutiny of Graham Platner's campaign team, and old Yelp reviews resurfacing in Katie Porter's California Senate bid. Who replaces Lindsey Graham in the Senate? Trump's pick for the interim appointment, South Carolina's special election timeline, and the GOP field — Russell Fry, Joe Wilson, Ralph Norman, and Pam Evette — plus a furious response to Nancy Mace floating her own name for the seat. U.S. forces strike Iranian submarines and ship maintenance facilities near the Strait of Hormuz, as a War Powers fight brews in Congress over the legality of continued military action. Ro Khanna faces backlash after viral bodycam footage appears to contradict his account of an incident involving Israeli security officials. New reporting details Graham Platner campaign strategist Morris Katz, as members of the Democratic Socialists of America call to cut ties with him. Separately, Abdul El-Sayed blames AIPAC amid new questions over his tax returns. And Katie Porter's old Yelp reviews resurface, including complaints about a Sherman Oaks spa and a hair stylist — reviews critics say are ironic given other reporting on her treatment of staff.
