Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Windsor, Johnston.
President Trump heads to Capitol Hill today for a meeting with Senate Republicans, and
“PR Sam Greenglass reports the lunching comes amid rising tensions between Trump and his”
congressional colleagues, including Senate Majority Leader John Thune. Some Republicans worry Trump is undercutting their shared agenda and focusing more on 2020 than 2026 pushing old claims about stolen elections, and targeting incumbens, he sees this disloyal. Some of those departing members now feel more uninhibited.
I did ask Thune whether he worries Trump's actions will hurt Republicans this fall, and he said, "Bokersing on pocketbook issues will be the path to keeping the majority." I pressed him though, if it is hard to stay focused on those things right now, and Thune told me he is trying his best.
Senate Senate Republicans join Democrats yesterday in advancing a resolution that would
limit the president's ability to use additional military force against Iran without congressional approval. Nuclear inspectors from the United Nations could soon be returning to Iran under a new agreement.

South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson has won the Republican nomination for governor after defeating the candidate who was initially backed by President Trump, but just days before the runoff, Trump also endorsed Wilson, giving his support to both candidates.
South Carolina Public Radio's Gavin Jackson reports, Lt. Governor Pamela Evett received Trump's coveted endorsement in late May before the primary, but it didn't land as expected. Wilson gained momentum during the two-week rough period fueled by support from former
“opponents like Congressman Ralph Norman and Nancy Mace, with Trump's gubernatorial picks”
in Iowa and recently Georgia losing and polling pointing to another loss he made a dual endorsement last week for both candidates saying in part quote, "With either one you can't go wrong," Wilson, the four-term attorney general, was declared the winner roughly 30 minutes after polls closed. He faces Democratic State Representative Germaine Johnson in November, for MPR News,

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has ordered the tech giant to develop its own prediction market
app. NPR's Pablo Allen reports it's an attempt to compete with popular sites like Kelsey and Polly Market. Meta is developing an app where people can guess the outcome of things like elections or the color of the president's tie on a given day.
Internal Meta documents reviewed by NPR show the company as codename the project arena. It's also being called Antwerp. One major difference from leading prediction market apps though is that Meta's app will only let users wager play money, digital points on whether something will happen or not. CalShe and Polly Market have faced dozens of lawsuits over unregulated gambling and whether
these apps represent a distinct kind of activity. Meta is the biggest tech company yet to jump into prediction market mania.
