Summary
On today's 'BradCast': The annual inflation rate hit the highest level in three years, thanks to Donald Trump's failed tariff policies and his Iran War causing energy prices to soar. Solar power has overtaken coal in the U.S. electricity mix, despite Trump's efforts to kill the US renewable energy industry. Noteworthy primary results emerged Tuesday in North Dakota, Nevada, South Carolina and Maine. In South Carolina, far-right Trumpy Reps. Nancy Mace and Ralph Norman lost their re-election bids. Maine's gubernatorial race is headed to complicated Ranked Choice Voting runoffs, which could take weeks; will Trump and Republicans accuse Maine of 'rigging' the election because it will take longer to determine the nominee? Despite a controversial campaign rollout, Maine voters chose progressive Democratic populist Graham Platner to challenge incumbent Republican US Sen. Susan Collins.
