Some voters expressed concern that the administration has abandoned key tenets of his 2024 campaign, leading to a loss of enthusiasm among some of his core base. In other news, the administration announced that flash floods in Nepal have killed at least 903 people, with thousands still missing. Former USAID disaster-response chief Jeremy Konyndyk suggested that the administration's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) cuts to foreign aid and climate-related grants may have hindered the user's ability to prepare for the disaster.
