Overview
- Pressed on Fox News about whether the Iran war and the fight over funding for immigration enforcement will hurt Republicans, Sen. Lindsey Graham dodged and said Trump is stopping a homicidal regime from getting a nuclear weapon.
- Graham shifted to immigration, arguing that Joe Biden wrecked border controls and claiming most voters back a tougher ICE posture as Republicans argue over how to fund the agency.
- The White House announced a two‑week ceasefire and said the Strait of Hormuz would reopen, though Tehran says travel remains curbed due to Israel’s operations in Lebanon.
- Trump’s approval has slid since the Feb. 28 launch of the Iran campaign, and Cook Political Report says Republicans must win 76% of toss‑up House races to keep their majority.
- Reaction to Graham’s remarks broke along partisan lines on social media, with many critics attacking his stance on ICE and the war and a smaller group praising his message.
