  • New fears over the speed of artificial intelligence development reach Congress

  • Vice President Vance seems eager to solidify his position as heir apparent

    September 12, 2026; 3 pm: Here’s where we start on the premiere episode of “The Assignment with Antonia Hylton” on MS NOW: It’s September 12, 2026. It’s been 197 days since the start of President Trump’s war in Iran and just 52 days remaining before the midterm elections. Antonia reports on the state of the economy, the latest developments in the Middle East, and the pledges and promises coming out of this week’s Republican convention in Texas. Antonia also brings in-depth reporting from her travels to the Big Bend sector of Texas for the newest installment of her MS NOW series, Cities Under Siege. It’s where President Trump’s long-promised border wall is no longer an abstraction. It’s a 30-foot reality coming to life. It’s turned ranchers, a longtime conservative sheriff, and Republicans who’ve voted for Trump against him. And more on the growing spotlight on Vice President JD Vance, who seems eager to solidify his position as President Trump’s 2028 heir apparent.
