Trump in South Carolina to stump for Sen. Darline Graham

Key Points:

• President Donald Trump campaigned in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, urging voters to support Sen. Darline Graham in the upcoming GOP runoff against Rep. Ralph Norman, emphasizing the importance of Republican turnout in the midterms despite not being on the ballot himself.
• Trump defended Graham's debate admission of being unfamiliar with national security issues, highlighting her honesty and support for the military, while Graham compared her outsider status to Trump's own political rise.
• The Trump administration notified Congress of plans to pay over $800 million in U.S. dues to the United Nations, marking the largest payment since demanding reforms, despite past criticisms and funding cuts to UN programs.
• Trump announced a temporary agreement to allow 300,000 metric tons of imported beef into the U.S. at reduced tariffs for 90 days to lower consumer prices, a move that has drawn criticism from some rural Republicans and cattle producers.
• The Supreme Court temporarily allowed construction on the $400 million White House ballroom project to continue despite lower court rulings requiring congressional approval, with the administration citing national security needs.
