- The former president traveled to Montana to address past issues from 2018, attempting to defeat incumbent Democratic Senator Jon Tester, which proved unsuccessful.
- Tester is striving to convey to voters his alignment with Trump on various issues, echoing his successful strategy from six years ago.
- Trump's sole rally this week is set in a state he won by a 16-point margin four years ago, rather than a November battleground.
- Tester is among the most vulnerable Democratic incumbents, relying on a significant number of Trump supporters to split their votes and support the Democratic senator for victory.

- Donald Trump has initiated preparations for his upcoming debate against Vice President Kamala Harris, enlisting former Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard to assist. Gabbard, who left the Democratic Party after her 2020 presidential campaign, is a prominent figure within Trump's supporter base and previously challenged Harris in a notable debate.
- Karoline Leavitt, a spokesperson for Trump, affirmed Gabbard's involvement, praising Trump's debating skills. Despite claiming he doesn’t need traditional debate prep, Trump has dedicated more time to practice this year than in previous election cycles.
- Trump's preparation includes informal discussions with advisers and formal sessions where aides take on moderator roles. Notably aggressive questions were posed by Representative Matt Gaetz. This approach may prove critical, especially following Biden's lackluster performance in his last debate.
- Gabbard offers essential qualities for the debate preparation: she is a woman, has political experience, and is well-acquainted with Harris, having previously criticized her. The allegations Gabbard made against Harris during their past debate may play a significant role in the upcoming confrontation.

- Republican U.S. Sen. Marsha Blackburn, a key ally of former President Donald Trump, will face off this fall in Tennessee against Democratic state Rep. Gloria Johnson, whose national profile rose when her GOP colleagues tried to oust her over a gun control protest on the chamber floor.
- Both Blackburn and Johnson successfully fended off their primary challenges on Thursday, setting up a markedly different general election than Blackburn faced when she first won her office in 2018 while in the U.S. House.
- Johnson has been critical of Blackburn's policy positions, arguing that most Tennesseans want 'common sense gun legislation' and better access to reproductive care, while Blackburn has opposed gun control measures and dodged questions about supporting a national ban on abortion.
- In a fierce battle for the congressional elections in the 5th District, Republican incumbent Andy Ogles defeated a well-funded opponent, Nashville council member Courtney Johnston, and will face Democrat Maryam Abolfazli in the fall, who ran unopposed in her party's primary.

- Steven Kramer was charged with voter suppression and impersonation related to AI-generated robocalls mimicking President Biden ahead of New Hampshire’s primary.
- He admitted to sending an AI voice message falsely warning voters that participating in the primary would block them from voting in November.
- The 26 charges include 13 felonies and 13 misdemeanors across four counties, with the FCC proposing a $6 million fine.
- The FCC has introduced proposals requiring political ads to disclose AI-generated content to increase transparency in election communications.
Maybe I’m a villain today, but I think in the end we get a better country and better democracy because of what I’ve done, deliberately.— Steven Kramer told The Associated Press in February about his motives for creating the fake robocalls.
