## Resource

In a stunning national television moment, Trump abruptly walked out of an NBC Meet the Press interview after being challenged on election claims, creating one of the most talked-about political clips of the weekend. Meanwhile, tensions between Israel and Iran continued to escalate as missile strikes resumed across the region and concerns grew about a wider regional war. Trump also made headlines with his planned appearance at Game 3 of the NBA Finals at Madison Square Garden as New York City rallied behind the Knicks. At the same time, NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani continued building momentum and drawing attention as New York's political and cultural spotlight intensified around the Finals atmosphere. Reports indicate both Trump and Mamdani were expected to attend Game 3 at Madison Square Garden. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
