Politics today is defined by volatility at home and abroad. In Europe, thousands of anti-G7 demonstrators filled Geneva ahead of the summit in nearby Evian, with a peaceful march giving way to clashes, vandalism and a heavy police response of tear gas and water cannons — a reminder of how quickly global economic meetings can become flashpoints. In Washington, concern centered on Mitch McConnell after the former Senate Republican leader was hospitalized, though his office released no details about his condition. Meanwhile, Donald Trump was trying to shape events on two fronts: pressing Israel and Iran not to escalate as a tentative U.S.-Iran framework deal appears close but not yet finalized, and throwing his weight behind Rep. Mike Collins in Georgia’s Republican Senate runoff, underscoring Trump’s continuing grip on both foreign-policy messaging and the GOP’s electoral battles.
