Georgia delivered two major political tests for Republicans, and both underscored the volatility of Trump-era influence: Mike Collins secured the Senate nomination to challenge Democrat Jon Ossoff in what is shaping up as a pivotal November race, while billionaire Rick Jackson toppled Trump-backed Lt. Gov. Burt Jones in the gubernatorial runoff. Abroad, Trump dominated the political conversation from the G7 in France, joking to fellow leaders that “I’m the boss” even as he struck a far sharper tone on Iran, warning that a soon-to-be-signed framework is not final and that military strikes could resume if Tehran fails to comply. Meanwhile in Brazil, the political aftershocks of Jair Bolsonaro’s failed coup bid deepened as the Supreme Court convicted his son, Eduardo Bolsonaro, for coercion tied to lobbying efforts in the United States, sentencing him in absentia to more than four years in prison.
