Speaker 2 (00:05):
In just four minutes, President Trump is hitting the road today.
He'll be heading to Pennsylvania, kicking off his national tour
designed to tout his economic agenda. It comes as many
polls show Americans say affordability is out of control and
they're starting to place the responsibility for fixing it on Trump.
(00:26):
Megan Libwitz with more.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
That poll also indicated that voters thought that the administration
had fallen short on the economy and looking out for
the middle class as well. Now, this is also coming
into context as we're a year away from the midterm election.
That's still a long way away, but politicians here in
Washington are already starting to think about what this means
and how their parties should effectively talk about issues like
(00:49):
affordability that have proven to repeatedly be a very mobilizing
issue for voters here.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Yesterday, the President announced a twelve billion dollar farm made package,
as his administration says it's making affordability its number one issue.
Leaders from the Pentagon State Department and Chairman of the

A judge is ordering Bruno Ferrara be released on bond
from an ICE processing facility in Louisiana following her arrest
last month. Ferrera shares custody of an eleven year old
with Michael Levitt, the brother of White House Press Secretary
Caroline Levitt. The judges ruling allows Farira to return to
Massachusetts for her case in Boston's Immigration court. Homeland Security
(01:54):
calls Ferreira a criminal illegal alien from Brazil who overstayed
a tourist visa.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
On Wall Street before the opening bell Stock futures are
little changed. I'm Michael Cassner. The resignation of former Trump
lawyer Alena Happa as the acting US Attorney for the
District of New Jersey has thrown the current office into
what one observer calls severe flux. More from Natalie Migliore.
Speaker 5 (02:18):
Haba's decision came after a court ruled she was serving
in the position illegally. She was named interim US Attorney
for New Jersey earlier this year, an appointment that expired
after one hundred and twenty days. The Justice Department announced
it is named three new officials in the US Attorney's Office,
each of whom will have authority over different divisions. Attorney
General Pam Bondi blame the outcome of Haba's case on
(02:41):
politicized judges and believes the outcome will be reversed.
