Saturday's Final Word
A Washington Examiner reporter recounted witnessing the July 2024 assassination attempt on President Trump, during which Corey Comperatore died, as new polling reveals 47% of Democrats believe Trump's supporters orchestrated the attack. Spirit Airlines ceased operations after nearly 34 years, leaving thousands of travelers stranded and prompting criticism of Senator Elizabeth Warren for previously blocking a JetBlue-Spirit merger that could have increased competition. Meanwhile, Iran faces severe economic strain due to U.S. sanctions, with inflation exceeding 50% and warnings of potential renewed conflict from Iranian military officials.
