Antonia also brings in-depth reporting from her travels to the Big Bend sector of Texas for the newest installment of her MS NOW series, Cities Under Siege. It’s where President Trump’s long-promised border wall is no longer an abstraction. It’s a 30-foot reality coming to life. It’s turned ranchers, a longtime conservative sheriff, and Republicans who’ve voted for Trump against him. And more on the growing spotlight on Vice President JD Vance, who seems eager to solidify his position as President Trump’s 2028 heir apparent.
