How the GOP is approaching data center backlash and why Trump is pivoting to North Korea: Morning Rundown

Key Points:

• Republicans in key midterm races are adopting voter skepticism toward data centers, with candidates like Mike Rogers supporting moratoriums and Vivek Ramaswamy pushing for data centers to pay local costs, despite President Trump promoting their benefits.
• Luis Manuel Aviles, the immigrant father of a USS Abraham Lincoln sailor, was detained by Border Patrol during a traffic stop and remains in ICE custody pending removal proceedings, causing distress for his family and son serving in the military.
• Former President Trump is seeking to revive diplomatic talks with North Korea's Kim Jong Un, possibly to divert attention from ongoing challenges in the Iran conflict, though experts doubt Kim will agree without concessions on denuclearization.
• A rapidly spreading human-caused wildfire in northwest Reno, Nevada, has destroyed homes, forced tens of thousands to evacuate, and injured six people amid unpredictable wind conditions complicating firefighting efforts.
• Indian nationals trapped in a Myanmar scam compound are forced to conduct online romance scams targeting Indian Americans, highlighting the growing sophistication of "pig butchering" scams that have cost Americans billions in 2024.
