    Taking Stock After Six Months of Iran War; How Sports Betting Is Influencing the Midterms | Aug. 28

    1 hour ago

    It’s been six months since the U.S. and Israel launched the Iran war, killing Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and thousands of people, bringing traffic in the Strait of Hormuz to a halt and depleting American weapons stockpiles. NBC News contributor Hooman Majd looks at why the U.S. strategy hasn’t worked – and why Iranians aren’t rising up against their country’s new leadership. Plus, the sports betting industry has become the third-largest corporate donor in this year’s midterm elections, behind tech and crypto, according to Reuters. In Georgia, where sports betting is illegal, a super PAC funded by the industry has spent millions in state legislative races. Greg Bluestein, chief political reporter for The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, explains what they hope to achieve by playing an outsize role in Georgia politics. Then, the U.S. Open begins this weekend in New York City with a lot of uncertainty around the top contenders. Can Carlos Alcaraz defend his title as he returns from injury? Will Aryna Sabalenka lose her World No. 1 ranking? Will the stands erupt when Venus and Serena Williams take the court? Matthew Futterman, senior tennis writer for The Athletic, previews the potential chaos at Arthur Ashe Stadium.
