The reporting

A neutral summary of the key facts most outlets agree on, drawn from reporting across the political spectrum.

Sen. Jon Ossoff of Georgia used a Sunday rally in Atlanta to attack President Donald Trump’s handling of the Iran war and his performance in office, saying Trump “doesn’t want to do the job” and instead wants to “build his ballroom and travel with Natalie.” The remark referred to Natalie Harp, Trump’s 35-year-old executive assistant, who has become a frequent presence alongside him and accompanied him on recent travel. White House communications director Steven Cheung responded with a personal attack on Ossoff, escalating the exchange as Ossoff runs for reelection in November.
