Visitors attended the Great American State Fair on the National Mall to celebrate America's 250th anniversary, but President Trump's approach to the commemoration introduced a partisan tone instead of fostering unity.

President Trump is attempting to increase his influence over election administration ahead of the midterms, leading to multiple legal battles across the country. These disputes could determine how elections are conducted this fall. Ben Ginsberg, an election lawyer involved in the 2000 Bush v. Gore case, discussed the issue with Liz Landers.

A PBS News/NPR/Marist poll indicates the U.S. is divided over its future, with most Americans believing the nation has drifted from its founding ideals. A growing number of respondents suggest violence might be necessary to realign the country.

The Trump administration has sought to reshape election processes amid debates over security, causing tension with election administrators. The president claims widespread voter fraud, which election officials dispute.

Heavy fighting between Israel and Hezbollah in southern Lebanon threatened the U.S.-Iran agreement to end the war, but a temporary ceasefire was secured. The U.S. and Iran plan to meet soon to negotiate a longer-term accord.

The U.S. announced it is lifting the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz to allow ship traffic, which had been halted since the start of the war. Iran's Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei praised the agreement with the U.S., attributing it to President Trump's 'desperation.'

The Trump administration disclosed details of an agreement between the U.S. and Iran to end the war, open the Strait of Hormuz, and initiate further negotiations. However, the deal is not finalized, and Trump reiterated threats to attack Iran if they fail to comply.

The United States and Iran have electronically signed a memorandum aiming to end their war, with key questions remaining before the official signing. The deal was central at the G7 summit in France, where President Trump joined other leaders.

The U.S. and Iran claim to be approaching a deal to end a war that began four months ago, though details on timing and execution remain unclear. Both nations have made previous announcements with similar ambiguity.

President Donald Trump warned during a PBS News interview that 'lots of bombs' would go off in Iran if the current ceasefire expires without a peace deal. The comment was made during a phone conversation with reporter Liz Landers, highlighting potential military escalation.
