Donald Trump Jr., the son of President Trump, married influencer and model Bettina Anderson on Thursday in West Palm Beach, Florida. The wedding took place just over five months after the couple announced their engagement. Real estate attorney Brad McPherson, who has worked with the Trump family, officiated the ceremony.

In other news, President Trump shared an AI-generated video on Truth Social, depicting him throwing former late-night host Stephen Colbert into a dumpster and dancing. This is the latest instance of the president using artificial intelligence to mock his enemies.

Meanwhile, in the Georgia Senate race, candidate Rep. Mike Collins (R) fired a campaign staffer after they sent an inflammatory post toward an adviser to a PAC supporting opponent Derek Dooley's campaign. The post alluded to the adviser's wife's accusations against former "Today" anchor Matt Lauer.
