What America Is Talking About:
It's primary Election Day today in Colorado, Maryland, Mississippi, New York, Oklahoma, South Carolina and Utah, and ESPN is out with this year's body issue, which includes a cover of Adam Rippon that looks like an actual Renaissance painting.

Poll of the Day:
Americans rated President Trump on 13 characteristics in a Gallup survey released Monday. At least 50% believe that Trump is intelligent and a strong leader and is bringing about change the United States needs. His lowest marks came on the issues of being honest, likable, admirable, having a good team around him and working with both parties.

When You've Lost Harley ...:
Harley-Davidson announced Monday it's moving production of motorcycles for European customers out of the United States and to Europe to avoid European tariffs levied in response to Trump's tariffs. The company said the move wasn't its "preference," but it was "the only sustainable option."

Trump, who praised Harley for making its motorcycles in America when company execs visited the White House in February 2017, tweeted about the company five times in 24 hours.

The US Doesn't Have a Timeline on North Korea Negotiations:
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo told CNN's Elise Labott that the United States doesn't have a deadline by which it expects North Korea to make progress toward denuclearization. "I am not going to put a timeline on it, whether that's two months, six months; we are committed to moving forward in an expeditious moment to see if we can achieve what both leaders set out to do," Pompeo said.

The Hill Intern Who Heckled Trump Is Suspended:
The intern who yelled "Mr. President, f*** you" to Trump last week when he visited Capitol Hill has been suspended for a week, CNN affiliate WMUR reported. The intern, Caitlin Marriott, works for Sen. Maggie Hassan, a New Hampshire Democrat, according to the Manchester TV station.

Tiffany Trump Was in New York for Pride:
We've never had a first daughter celebrate Pride the way Tiffany Trump did. Her friend Andrew Warren posted photos on Instagram and Instagram Story of the younger first daughter in New York over the weekend, including one captioned, "Pride Saturday 🌈📍." He responded to one commenter who was critical of the President's stance on LGBT issues by writing, "isn't everyone their own person ✋🏻." The shirt he's wearing, by the way, was made by Tiffany Trump herself.
