Trump’s attorney general pick says he has reached deal with senators after standoff – US politics live
On Tuesday, we’ll bring you the latest from Michigan where voters will head to the polls for competitive primaries in Senate and House races. The most closely watched competition is the Democratic primary for the US Senate, where congresswoman Haley Stevens is up against former public health official Abdul El-Sayed. They’re vying to ultimately win the seat of outgoing senator Gary Peters in November. The race has now turned into a proxy battle for the future of the Democratic party – pitting establishment Stevens against insurgent El-Sayed. There are also several competitive House primaries tomorrow –mirroring the same choice in the Senate race – where more moderate Democratic candidates will face off against progressives who reflect the changing face of the party.

Version 4updated
As we reported earlier, Republican senator Bernie Moreno has now publicly called for Representative Max Miller, his ex son-in-law, to step down from Congress amid allegations of domestic and child abuse. Trump, when asked about the allegations on Sunday on Air Force One, said he is “looking at” the claims against Miller. “I’m gonna look at it. I mean, so far, it’s accusations,” the president added. Miller and Emily Moreno, were in the middle of an acrimonious custody battle this year, when Miller filed a defamation against his former wife earlier this year. On Sunday, Miller posted a video on social media, and continued to deny the allegations. “I categorically deny abusing my former wife,” the Republican congressman said.

Version 6updated
Kay Granger, a former Republican representative, who was the first woman to win a US House seat from Texas, has died at age 83. Granger served in the house from 1997-2025, and was the first female chair of the House appropriations committee. Before her role in federal office, she was the first woman elected mayor of Fort Worth, Texas. In a tribute on social media, Republican House speaker Mike Johnson said that Granger “broke barriers for women in public service”. My colleague Ramon Antonio Vargas previously reported that Granger largely disappeared from the public eye after she announced her plans to retire when her term ended in early 2025.
