And Also: Sarah Posner's book Unholy: Why White Evangelicals Worship at the Altar of Donald Trump notes evangelical support of Trump is partially a matter of him supporting them (in return for loyalty), but it's more than that. Of special note, he is seen a strong man type who unapologetically attacks their enemies.
His success also proves his bona fides as God's tool. Also, she explains how for decades a racist, nationalist, anti-democratic (small "d") as well as strongly conservative wing of the right existed. This also included support of foreign leaders such as Putin while being against basic liberal American values. Trump is not new here, but is a George Wallace figure sought by some for years. He also has shades of being a televangelist himself. It is a good though dreary book but at some point it got a bit repetitive.

The final state primaries (non-presidential) are this month, starting this week with Massachusetts. (New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Delaware are later in the month. I'm not aware of any big races in those states that received national attention,) But, to flashback there, that state was a rarity in that more than 10% of the Republican voters chose someone other than Trump. In the end, that one Weld delegate was not heard from.
The notable thing for the state primary is that Ed Markey won the Senate Democratic Primary over Joseph Kennedy "other than being young and a Kennedy, no real reason to vote for me" III. Markey was the progressive choice, including his support with AOC of the Green Deal. On the Republican side, Shiva Ayyadurai got forty percent of the vote as the conspiracy Trump candidate. Also, one race underlines the value of instant run-off voting, the winner obtaining under 25% of the vote.
In Supremes news, RBG presided over a wedding. Also, after the Supreme Court struck down his latest trial, prosecutors decided six was enough. Curt Flowers is a free man. Only took over twenty years. But, mostly, their summer break continued.
