Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is building a multi-racial coalition of Democratic voters, drawing on the energy of Bernie Sanders' "Fighting Oligarchy Tour." Meanwhile, President Trump is facing scrutiny over the US-Iran deal as he heads to the G7 summit in France. The deal, announced on Sunday, would open the Strait of Hormuz but pushes thornier issues into 60 days of negotiations.
What Happened
The US and Iran agreed to an initial deal extending their ceasefire, which would open the Strait of Hormuz on Friday after it is signed in Geneva. However, the deal has been met with skepticism, with Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz and National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir ruling out withdrawal from land seized in Lebanon.
