President Trump Intensifies Attacks on Democratic Foes with 'Jihadist' Smear

President Donald Trump has intensified his attacks on Democratic candidates by labeling them as 'jihadists,' a term he claims was suggested by a friend.

Trump's comments reflect ongoing GOP efforts to associate Muslim candidates with extremist ideologies.

Despite efforts from ultraconservative House Republicans and some GOP senators to keep the Senate in session until the bill was passed, the Senate adjourned without a roll call vote. Rep. Roy emphasized the need for the House and Senate to focus on delivering results for the American people in September.
