Trump pushes scaled back GOP platform on abortion
The 84 to 18 vote adopted a plank drafted by Donald Trump and aides in Milwaukee. It rejects a constitutional amendment to grant embryos rights and omits a national abortion ban, while endorsing state power and prenatal care measures. It also advocates mass deportations, ending the Education Department, and boosting election security.

Biden health questions loom after debate and NATO visit
The White House defended President Biden's health amid scrutiny over his age and fitness after a sharp debate. Press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre noted regular physicals, weekly doctor checks, and neurologist visits tied to annual exams while avoiding disclosure of locations. She cited a February letter from Dr. Kevin O’Connor confirming no stroke or neurological disease. Democrats remain divided over Biden’s viability as NATO summit and campaign events approach.
