President Trump is back at the White House this morning after making his second visit to Texas in a week — and his third trip to the state in a month. He held a rally last night in San Antonio for Republican U.S. Senate nominee Ken Paxton, who is trailing in several polls to Democratic nominee James Talarico. The rally was interrupted by at least a dozen demonstrators, with some led away by police. The president addressed those disruptions and tried to clear up comments he made earlier this week about Iran possibly bombing American cities. Niall Stanage, associate editor for The Hill, joins Way Too Early with analysis.
