(NBC)- President Donald Trump returned from Las Vegas after promoting his economic agenda as Republicans look to build momentum ahead of this fall’s midterm elections. Trump argued Republicans are better positioned against progressive candidates, while repeatedly attacking El-Sayed during his remarks. El-Sayed responded by accusing Trump of focusing on political attacks instead of addressing affordability and other economic concerns facing Americans. Iran, however, continues to deny that it is engaged in direct negotiations with the United States to end the conflict.
