[King:] Topping our political radar today, President Trump wrapping up his working vacation. Just moments from now, the president leaves New Jersey, heading to upstate New York, where he'll sign the National Defense Authorization Act. After that, he attends a fun fundraiser for New York Republican Congresswoman Claudia Tenney. She's running for re-election in one of the country's most competitive House races. CNN currently rates it a toss-up. The Republican governor of Ohio throwing some shade at the president today. The president went after John Kasich this morning on Twitter, calling him, quote, very unpopular, and accusing him of hurting Republican congressional candidate Troy Balderson. Kasich replied merely with this, a gift of the Russia president Vladimir Putin looking amused. A little context on popularity. A recent Quinnipiac poll showed Kasich's approval among Ohio voters was 52 percent. In that same poll, the president's approval below it in Ohio, just 43 percent. Here's one for you, especially if you're a Democrat. Could Senator Elizabeth Warren and "The Rock" team up in 2020? Social media are sure hoping so. The senator and star of the HBO show "Ballers" trading tweets over the weekend about the show's season premiere. On Sunday, Senator Warren tweeting, why do I love "Ballers" so much? It's "The Rock". That caught Dwayne johnson's attention. "I appreciate the love, Senator Warren. Enjoy our new season tonight, and you have a big rock-size hug coming when I see you." Not the first time, believe it or not, the senator has given the show a shout out.
[Warren:] It's actually a story about hard work. It's a story about perseverance. It's a story about having to reach within yourself and find something that you're not 100 percent sure is there.
[Unidentified Female:] We're talking about "Ballers."
[King:] All righty then. Up next for us, Nancy Pelosi gets an unlikely advocate, even as she struggles to get off the ropes.
