## Resource

On today’s episode of Politics Nation, Reverend Al Sharpton opens the week amid renewed concerns over political violence following another alarming incident near President Trump, a shooting outside the White House that left the suspected gunman dead and at least one person injured. Sharpton also examines the political fallout from soaring gas prices tied to Trump’s escalating conflict with Iran, as the president’s approval ratings continue to slide. But instead of focusing on domestic policy or easing voter frustrations, Trump is drawing attention to his controversial ballroom project and using the latest violence to defend its necessity despite resistance from Senate Republicans over taxpayer funding. Plus, growing scrutiny over the president’s proposed $1.8 billion fund tied to convicted extremists and white supremacists is creating rare tensions within the GOP, raising questions about party unity with the midterm elections just months away.
