US President Donald Trump voiced regret over his Supreme Court appointments after the court rejected tighter mail-in voting rules ahead of midterm elections.

US President Donald Trump expressed regret over his Supreme Court appointments in an interview with Time magazine, remarking, "I got them the job of their life, and they often vote against me." While Trump stated he values loyalty, he subsequently clarified he does not expect it from judicial nominees.

The comments followed a Supreme Court decision rejecting an attempt by the administration to tighten mail-in voting rules ahead of the upcoming midterm elections. Democratic lawmakers welcomed the ruling as a victory for voting accessibility.

In a separate cabinet development, Defense Secretary nominee Pete Hegseth proposed involving billionaire Elon Musk to explore the future of warfare.
