The primary election results in Indiana show how President Donald Trump can punish Republican lawmakers who defy him. His endorsed challengers defeated several state lawmakers who had gone against his wishes on redistricting. The success of his favored candidates in voting Tuesday will likely increase Trump's confidence as he aims to oust more incumbents in upcoming primaries. Among those he's looking to deny another term in Congress are Bill Cassidy, a Louisiana senator, and Thomas Massie, a Kentucky representative. Indiana's primary results may also increase the pressure on Republican lawmakers in other states to redraw congressional district boundaries before the November election.

The Latest: Trump threatens bombing if Iran doesn’t reopen strait amid report of deal to end the war
President Donald Trump posted on social media Wednesday that the war with Iran could soon end and oil and natural gas shipments could restart, if Iran accepts the latest White House proposal. Axios reported that the one-page memorandum to end the war includes a moratorium on Iranian uranium enrichment, a lifting of U.S. sanctions and the distribution of frozen Iranian funds along with the opening of the Strait of Hormuz for shipping. Trump's post says it's “perhaps a big assumption” that Iran would agree to such terms. But he said that “if they don’t agree, the bombing starts, and it will be, sadly, at a much higher level and intensity than it was before.”
