“President Donald Trump's supporters swept at least five Republican senators out of office in Indiana's primary election May 5”

DISPUTED

The claim states that five Republican senators were swept out of office in Indiana's primary on May 5. However, Wikipedia evidence for the 2024 Indiana House of Representatives election states the primary took place on May 7, 2024, not May 5. Furthermore, Indiana only has two U.S. Senators; it is mathematically impossible for 'five Republican senators' to be swept out of office in a single state primary.

“Saudi Arabia, a key Gulf ally, suspended the U.S. military’s ability to use its bases and airspace to carry out the operation”

VERIFIED BY REFERENCE

The claim describes Saudi Arabia suspending U.S. military access during an operation in the Strait of Hormuz.
