## Resource

Welcome to The Takeout. Texas senate race is set following Ken Paxton’s decisive run off win as President Trump declares he doesn’t “care about the midterms.” A tale of two incumbents: Rep. Christian Menefee speaks to Major about his agenda and generational shift after defeating Al Green. A peace deal with Iran is at stalemate but Trump claims Tehran is “negotiating on fumes.” CBS News national security contributor Joe Zacks analyzes a potential deal and its implications for Washington. Finally, political strategists Joel Payne and T.W. Arrighi zero in on why Jill Biden told CBS Sunday Morning she was "frightened" by her husband's 2024 debate performance, and was concerned he might be having a stroke.
