Episode Details

Today’s Headlines: In today's New Hampshire primary, the Republican race has narrowed down to a competition between Nikki Haley and a candidate we will refer to as "coup boy." The latter has been gaining endorsements, particularly from South Carolina's congressional delegation, including Representatives Jeff Duncan and Nancy Mace, and Senator Tim Scott. Meanwhile, there are reports of a robocall in New Hampshire using AI to mimic President Biden's voice and discourage voting in the primary. The call allegedly falsely identified as coming from a former state Democratic Party chair associated with a super PAC supporting a Biden write-in campaign. Internationally, Israel has proposed a two-month pause in fighting with Hamas, aiming for the release of hostages and Palestinian prisoners. European Union foreign ministers advocate for a two-state solution, expressing concern over Israel's rejection. US and British militaries launch joint attacks on Houthi rebels in Yemen, and the Supreme Court allows federal Border Patrol agents to resume cutting barbed wire on the Texas-Mexico border. Finally, nine Democratic governors, led by New York Governor Kathy Hochul, call for addressing the humanitarian crisis resulting from the surge of migrants seeking refuge in the US.
