President Donald Trump told Breitbart News in an exclusive Oval Office interview on Tuesday evening that while he is disappointed about the Supreme Court's ruling upholding birthright citizenship, the court's decision in the Trump v. Slaughter case, which once again grants a president the power to fire independent agency employees at will, "more than made up" for it.

While Democrats are hopeful about their chances to gain control of the U.S. Senate as well as the House of Representatives, a CNN political analyst says the former is very unlikely.
Harry Enten explained the math problem plaguing Democrats in a segment focusing on the polling results on the Senate campaigns in several states.
In all of those states, Republicans are beating Democrats by at least 2 percentage points.
"So what's the simple math here? Democrats need a net gain of four — four Senate seats to regain control of the upper chamber in Congress, and right now the math, simply put, isn't there for them. ... It's a math problem," Enten said.
Enten went on to show that the most likely Senate seat gains for Democrats are in North Carolina and Texas, where they are either ahead in the polling or even. However, they need at least two other seats to flip, and the most likely candidates are in Iowa, Alaska, and Ohio. In all of those states, Republicans are beating Democrats by at least 2 percentage points.
He went on to show that Democrats were basically tied in the election polling in Maine, a state where they should be further ahead.
"Even in Maine, a state that Kamala Harris easily won back in 2024. ... You have a race that, simply put, is way too close to call. So really, on the mathematical march to four seats, there's really only one seat at this point that Democrats can look like they can count on," Enten explained.
CNN anchor John Berman noted that President Donald Trump's popularity has suffered because of high inflation and the unpopularity of the Iran war. Enten countered that Democrats have still polled poorly in red states, where they need to pick up seats in order to win the Senate.
"These are states that are just very hard to win because, bottom line is, what is holding them back ... is the fundamentals," he added.

Enten ended by showing that prediction markets lessened the chances of Democrats winning the Senate from 49% in May to only 41% currently.
Republicans, meanwhile, have improved their odds to hold on to the Senate in the prediction markets from 51% in May to 59% currently.
Enten posted the video of his CNN segment to his official social media account on Wednesday.

The $850 million Obama Presidential Center opened last week in Chicago — but not without a performative “land acknowledgement.”
“We’d also like to take a moment to recognize the original inhabitants of the land upon which we are gathered today,” Valerie Jarrett, chief executive officer of the Obama Foundation, said. “We honor the Anishinaabe, the Council of Three Fires, the Ojibwe, the Odawa, and the Potawatomi nations.”
“First of all,” BlazeTV host Pat Gray comments, “It’s the ugliest building on this planet, especially at the price that was paid to build that thing, $850 million.”
“Secondly, I’m so sick of hearing about stolen land,” he says. “If you’re on stolen land, Barack, give it back. How about that? Once again, the United States is the only nation on earth ... that’s continually hammered with this stolen land stuff.”
“Every nation on earth, all of them have been taken from someone else. Every major nation on earth has been taken from some indigenous peoples either through conquest, displacement, colonial expansion, war, you name it,” he continues.
Executive producer Keith Malinak points out that the tribe names Jarrett repeated had all “defeated each other over history.”
“The indigenous people who stole it from each other," Gray agrees. “The only nations on this planet that can say ... that they’re not on stolen land now are the ones that weren’t inhabited in the first place.”
