Trump Supporters See ‘the Hand of God’ in Action
“They wore it on their T-shirts and expressed it in the way they kneeled to pray: At his first event after the Secret Service opened fire on a suspected gunman hiding in the bushes around Trump’s Florida golf club — the second apparent assassination attempt on his life in almost as many months — Trump’s supporters were invoking the divine,” Politico reports.
“Over and over here Tuesday, they asked themselves, who was this lucky? And was it luck, or something more like providence that helped Trump had been able to survive not one but two attempts on his life…”

A U.S. National Debt Crisis Is Coming
William Galston: “Despite intensifying polarization, the Republican and Democratic parties are alike in one important respect: Both now behave as though budget deficits don’t matter.

Wall Street Has Its Eye on a Big Rate Cut
“Investors have set their hopes on a big cut in interest rates, an expectation that gave new life to the stock market’s rally and shows how pivotal the Federal Reserve’s decision on Wednesday will be to sentiment in the financial markets,” the New York Times reports.
“The S&P 500 rose for the seventh straight day on Tuesday, bolstered by economic data and rising expectations that the Fed will cut rates by half of a percentage point, double the typical quarter-point adjustment the central bank typically makes.”

“Sen. Jon Tester’s (D-MT) reelection was already difficult. It just got a little harder,” Politico reports.

Politico: Control of the Senate is coming down to Montana — and Democrats are struggling.

Inside Mike Johnson’s Doomed Funding Strategy
Punchbowl News: “Are you having major déjà vu? We are.”
“The House is set to vote today on a short-term funding bill that won’t pass. GOP lawmakers are grumbling about messaging, strategy and yearning to get back home to run for reelection. And Speaker Mike Johnson is being publicly and privately cagey about his next move, frustrating the entire House Republican Conference, which is looking for guidance about the leadership’s plans.”
“In fact, the GOP leadership is even in the dark at most times as to what Johnson is thinking and planning.”
NOTUS: “It’s not that Johnson is going to lose his gavel this Congress. The reality is there are so few legislative days left in the term that an ouster would be meaningless anyway. But he is in trouble next Congress, assuming Republicans hang on to the majority and Johnson even tries to be speaker again.”
Axios: Johnson’s colleagues baffled by his shutdown strategy.

“I don’t think I’ve ever said this before. So we do these rallies. They’re massive rallies. Everybody loves, everybody stays till the end. By the way, you know, when she said that, well, your rallies people leave. Honestly, nobody does. And if I saw them leaving, I’d say, and ladies and gentlemen make America great again and I’d get the hell out, ok? Because I don’t want people leaving. But I do have to say so I give these long sometimes very complex sentences and paragraphs but they all come together.”
