US Politics Summary

House Speaker Mike Johnson expressed confidence in the intelligence and legality of a military operation that resulted in the death of two survivors from a U.S. strike on an alleged drug boat. In related political developments, House Democrats confronted Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem regarding immigration policies from the Trump administration, which included allegations of veterans being removed from the U.S.

Meanwhile, Indiana's Republican-led Senate voted against a redistricting plan that would have favored the GOP, despite pressure from former President Trump. This decision, where 21 Republicans joined Democrats to defeat the measure, signals a potential weakening of Trump's influence within the party.

Additionally, health care measures proposed by both Democrats and Republicans failed to advance in the Senate, leaving millions facing potential price hikes. Former Speaker Newt Gingrich warned that the GOP could face significant challenges if the economy does not improve, indicating growing concern within party ranks about the upcoming elections.
