Trump travels to Dover Air Force Base to receive fallen troops as the Iran war intensifies, with 18 service members killed and nearly 500 wounded. Defense Secretary Hegseth requested $37.5 billion in additional Pentagon funding for a conflict Congress never authorized, facing bipartisan scrutiny on Capitol Hill. Meanwhile, Arizona Republicans nominated Trump-backed election deniers Andy Biggs for governor and Alexander Culloden for secretary of state, alarming party moderates who worry these MAGA candidates could lose to Democrats in the swing state. Rising U.S. casualties in the undeclared Iran war risk shifting public opinion from economic skepticism to emotional opposition, particularly as young service members die in a conflict with unclear objectives.
