Why is President Trump campaigning in safe Republican states while his party plays defense in the midterms? This Up First briefing also covers Ukraine's U.S.-supplied Starshield satellite links, which were abruptly restricted, and Houthi strikes on Saudi Arabia's Aramco headquarters. Tamara Keith analyzes Trump's travel, noting he promised to campaign with about 35 competitive-race candidates but has joined only a handful. Greg Myrie explains how the Starshield limits cut drone control above 100 mph, disrupting Ukraine's offensive and defensive operations. Pierre Abi-Azar reports that the Houthis hit Riyadh's airport, killing more than a dozen, and that the Saudi-Houthi escalation has displaced about 200,000 people in southern Yemen. Each segment is brief, fact-driven, and useful for anyone tracking U.S. politics or Gulf and Eastern European security. Trump pledged to campaign with about 35 competitive-race candidates before the midterms but has since joined only a handful of them.
