P.M. Edition for June 30. In the last day before its summer recess, the Supreme Court rejected President Trump’s effort to upend the longstanding guarantee that virtually everyone born on American soil is a U.S. citizen. We hear from WSJ legal affairs reporter Lydia Wheeler about the legal basis for the justices’ decision, and what it shows about the court’s relationship with President Trump. Plus, voters in Colorado are heading to the polls for today’s primary. The Journal’s Elizabeth Findell joins from Denver to discuss a House race that could signal whether challengers from the left are making inroads in the Democratic Party. And the S&P and the Nasdaq closed out their best quarter since 2020. Markets reporter Hannah Erin Lang explains what drove the gains during a period of intense volatility.
