White House Attacks CNN Reporter as Trump’s 33% Approval Slump Aids Ossoff

Summary
A White House social media account attacked CNN’s Kristen Holmes and invoked her children after she questioned President Donald Trump, turning a single exchange into a multi-day fight.
The post said Holmes’ children would be “sickened and embarrassed” by her question, a response that the newsletter argues prolonged a controversy Jon Ossoff had already used to hit Trump at an Atlanta rally.
That extended attention effectively amplified Ossoff’s message instead of containing it, handing more publicity to a political opponent at a moment Republicans are already uneasy.
Trump’s approval rating has fallen to an all-time low of 33%, and the report says some Republicans fear even reliably red states such as Iowa could be vulnerable in a broader Democratic wave.
