Summary
Buckle up, because this briefing tries to cram in a World Series celebration, a Correspondents Dinner preview, tax refund bragging rights, and a Saudi nuclear deal with strings attached, all before lunch. The press secretary walks through record breaking tax refund numbers, a data center ratepayer pledge expanding to cover 80% of American power delivery, and a civil nuclear agreement with Saudi Arabia that comes with one very specific condition tied to the Abraham Accords. Reporters push on China's alleged AI theft, self driving car legislation, a WNBA player facing backlash for a common sense comment, and whether the President's patience with Senate leadership is wearing thin. There's also a New Jersey noncitizen voter rolls controversy, a Save America Act status update, and a quick note on the President's schedule for the week ahead. It's a packed room with a packed rundown, classic White House briefing chaos delivered with a straight face.
