President Donald Trump shrugged off any concern about holding Mississippi’s Senate seat during a visit Monday, even as his very presence in the ruby-red state underscored persistent Republican concerns about once-safe seats.

During his speech, he responded to former President Barack Obama, who lambasted Trump’s fixation on renovations over the weekend, likening it to Saddam Hussein opening a Cheesecake Factory.

“He doesn’t understand,” Trump said of the former president. “The White House has to be clean, pristine, beautiful.”

CNN's Michael Smerconish and his NewsNight panel discuss Trump's long-running feud with Obama and Erin Burnett's panel reacts to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's visit to a Cheesecake Factory.
