Meanwhile, the Supreme Court allows political parties to buy ads at the cheapest rate as the GOP fears it could lose newly gerrymandered seats and Senate candidate James Talarico counters the Republican midterm convention with messaging on affordability. Plus, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner travel to Ukraine and Russia for peace talks and Trump floats renaming New Mexico as "New America," posting about it multiple times. Dan Nathan, Basil Smikle, Chris Jansing, James Sample and Brian Bennett join the Group Chat today.
