President Joe Biden on Tuesday described the killing of a 26-year-old American activist in the Israeli-occupied West Bank last week as an apparent accident, backing the Israel government’s description.

Eygi’s family responded to Biden’s remarks Tuesday, saying the activist’s death was “no accident.”

An interesting poll by the Cato Institute of likely voters in the three states expected to play a decisive role in November's presidential contest shows that not only are Americans paying attention, but have distinct feelings about how hard the U.S. should be leaning in on global conflicts.

— The percentage of those who think the U.S. is too involved in world affairs and conflicts: Wisconsin 53%, Pennsylvania 50%, Michigan 52% (Republicans were much more likely than Democrats to say the U.S. is too involved).

— The percentage who think that U.S. foreign policy does not put American interests first: Wisconsin 62%, Pennsylvania 61%, Michigan 60%

— On Gaza, full majorities support an immediate ceasefire: Wisconsin 80%, Pennsylvania 75%, Michigan 74%.

Interestingly, likely voters in all three states say Tump is more likely to keep the U.S. out of war, Wisconsin 52%, Pennsylvania 51%, Michigan 52%. They said he is more likely to put American interests first in foreign policy, Wisconsin 51%, Pennsylvania 54%, Michigan 56%

But they said the former president is more likely than Harris to get the U.S. into "World War III" : Wisconsin 51%, Pennsylvania 51%, Michigan 53%

On WWIII, most likely voters in these battleground states thought we were approaching a world war: Wisconsin 59%, Pennsylvania 51%, Michigan 54%
