Description

It is primary day in various states around the country. But if you ask
senior political columnist and politics bureau chief Jonathan Martin, it
is the race involving the Portland, Oregon, District Attorney that is
the most interesting and perhaps important. In one of the most
 left-leaning cities in the country, the progressive DA is at risk of
losing his seat amid widespread frustration over lax drug laws. Can this
tell us anything about the challenges Biden will face come November?
Martin walks Playbook co-author Rachael Bade through some possibilities.

Plus, lawmakers on the Hill are in a frenzy over the International
Criminal Court’s warrant request for President Benjamin Netanyahu. All
of that, and the rest of the news you need to know today.
