## Resource

It is primary election night in America, and the focus is on Texas where the outcome of a single Republican runoff tonight could reshape the Senate this fall. Incumbent Sen. John Cornyn faces Trump-backed Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton. The winner will advance and take on Democratic nominee James Talarico in one of the country’s highest-profile Senate races. Plus, Iran is now threatening retaliation for American strikes and Israel is deepening its action in Lebanon. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
