Tensions in the Middle East following the death of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah are spiraling and tipping toward what the Biden administration has feared for months: a broader regional war. Here's what you may have missed when newsmakers hit the airwaves this Sunday, September 29.1. Cotton dismisses Middle East ceasefire Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) speaks on CBS News' "Face the Nation" on Sept. 29.Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) said it isn't the right time for Israel to broker a ceasefire, taking a stance at odds with efforts by the Biden administration and several U.S. allies to halt the fighting. What he's saying: "Hezbollah is on its knees," Cotton said on CBS News' "Face the Nation. "The United States should help Israel drive Hezbollah to the mat and choke it out and finish it off once and for all."He called for the U.S. to "let Israel win rather than continue to make these feckless demands for ceasefires and de-escalation."Cotton added he'd support an Israeli ground invasion into Lebanon if "that's what Israel needs to do to eliminate the remnants of Hezbollah's leadership and arsenal."The big picture: The proposed 21-day ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah would allow a pause for negotiations in the escalating conflict, where hundreds have reportedly been killed in just days.Thousands in Gaza and Lebanon have been killed in Israeli strikes in nearly a year since Hamas' brutal Oct. 7 attack that killed 1,200.Retired Army Gen. Stanley McChrystal, who served as the head of U.S. and international forces in Afghanistan, offered a word of caution when asked about Cotton's suggestion: "Just spiraling the violence is unlikely to produce a good outcome."But he added: "I can sympathize with both sides, the visceral desire to go after the other."As Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu continues to wage war against Iranian proxies with mounting civilian casualties, McChrystal noted, "The long-term outcome in Palestine writ large is going to be from a statesman-like view."He continued: "If he's [Netanyahu] taking a wartime view only, I think at some point he's either going to have to widen that aperture or take a longer view of it."National Security spokesman John Kirby said Sunday on CNN's "State of the Union" that there "needs to be an effort to de-escalate."He noted, "Hezbollah under Mr. Nasrallah was a lethal threat to the Israeli people — they want to get their families back to those homes and kibbutzes in the north," but said the U.S. believes "an all-out war with Hezbollah, certainly with Iran, is not the way to do that."Zoom out: Asked by CNN's Jake Tapper about a possible ground incursion into Lebanon, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) called for normalization between Israel and Saudi Arabia — a cause he has continuously advocated for — saying, "Without some diplomatic solution, Israel is going to be occupying parts ... of Lebanon to create a buffer zone."He added: "That to me is not the outcome I desire."2. The GOP's new ICE talking point Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) speaks to CNN's Jake Tapper on "State of the Union" on Sept. 29.Several Republicans making the Sunday show rounds brought up the same talking point when asked about the border — that hundreds of thousands of migrants have committed crimes while President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris have been in office. Why it matters: The data the GOP members are referencing was released last week by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-Texas). The statistics span decades, including the Trump administration years, and some of the individuals counted are serving prison sentences, not living freely.What they're saying: "400,000 people have been let loose in our country, 16,000 people convicted of being a rapist, 13,000 convicted murderers and 400,000 people generally convicted of crimes were released on her watch," Graham said on "State of the Union," before being fact-checked by CNN anchor Jake Tapper about the data. Cotton cited the same numbers during his appearance on "Face the Nation," telling CBS's Robert Costa, claiming the administration "acknowledged" it "released more than 13,000 convicted murderers" and other criminals "who Kamala Harris and Joe Biden have let roam our streets."Donald Trump Jr., the former president's eldest son, accused Harris of "literally letting in 16,000 rapists across the border that she was in charge of. 13,000 murderers as part of the millions of people they've let into this country unchecked" during his appearance on Fox News' "Sunday Morning Futures."And then there's Trump, who took to Truth Social Friday, the same day Harris visited the border, to slam her record on immigration using the data: "Kamala should immediately cancel her News Conference because it was just revealed that 13,000 convicted murderers entered our Country during her three and a half year period as Border Czar."Between the lines: Despite Republican claims, Harris was never appointed to be in charge of the border or its security. Biden appointed her to lead diplomatic efforts related to immigration, including meeting officials from Central American countries to work on solutions to ease migration to the U.S.Worth noting: CNN fact-checker Daniel Dale writes that the "non-detained" list includes people who are behind bars serving criminal sentences but are not being held in "immigration detention in particular," meaning criminals are not necessarily being allowed to "openly roam" the country (as Trump said).However, the total number on the non-detained docket — including those not convicted of any crimes — CNN notes, did spike under the Biden administration.3. Another GOP endorsement for Harris Former Sen. Jeff Flake speaks on ABC's "This Week" on Sept. 29.Jeff Flake, the former Arizona senator and U.S. Ambassador to Turkey, is the latest GOP member to endorse Harris.Driving the news: Flake didn't call Trump by name when explaining his reasoning in an appearance on ABC News' "This Week" but said he couldn't endorse a candidate who "tries to use the powers of the presidency to overturn" an election.He said he thought Republicans "believe in the rule of law in particular" and that overturning an election is "anything but respect for the rule of law."Flake also highlighted the former president's tariff policy as going against conservative viewpoints on free trade.Zoom out: Given Flake's connection to a border state, ABC News' Martha Raddatz pressed the former senator on his views about Harris' immigration policies.Flake conceded Harris could be tougher on the border "particularly with asylum policies."More from Axios' Sunday coverage:"You've been a good friend": Biden honors Jimmy Carter ahead of 100th birthdayHarris sticks with Biden on foreign policy — for now"Our hearts are heavy": NWS writes emotional letter to Carolinas, Georgia

Republicans nationwide have offered disjointed responses to the controversy swirling around North Carolina's Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson, whose campaign for governor is now in free fall. Why it matters: Last week's bombshell CNN report, which uncovered unsavory comments Robinson allegedly made as an active participant on a porn site message board, has rattled his party. Robinson has denied the allegations, but they've still put his fellow Republicans running for office in a tight spot: Denounce Robinson and risk alienating some of the party's base, or stay silent and potentially face criticism. The big picture: Their dilemma has been clear in recent days, as a handful of party leaders and down-ballot candidates have spoken out against him. Others have acknowledged that the comments are problematic without pinning them on Robinson. "I had a [Republican] Council of State candidate text me on Thursday, saying 'I think I'm toast,'" Republican strategist Doug Heye said. "That's what the stakes are." Democrats, meanwhile, have pounced, moving quickly to link Trump and other Republicans to Robinson. Driving the news: Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp, who spoke at a fundraiser for Robinson last month, and Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee, who planned to speak at a fundraiser for him, both withdrew their support this week, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution and The Tennessean reported. Republican Congressman and attorney general candidate Dan Bishop, meanwhile, has given mixed signals on Robinson. He blamed Democrats for the controversy, saying they "rolled out a meticulously timed and coordinated character assassination," the Washington Post reported. At the same time, Bishop said in a post on X Monday that "any decisions about how to proceed in the Governor's race rest solely with Mark and are between him and the people of North Carolina." Others have hedged, condemning the alleged comments without denouncing Robinson. Vice Presidential candidate and U.S. Sen. J.D. Vance said the allegations "aren't necessarily reality" and that what Robinson "said or didn't say is ultimately between him and the people of North Carolina." Vance refused to say whether he'd continue to support Robinson, per MSNBC. U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham on NBC's "Meet the Press": "I think what's going to happen here is he deserves the chance to defend himself, Mark Robinson," Graham said. "The charges are beyond unnerving. If they're true, he is unfit to serve for office."North Carolina's U.S. Sen. Ted Budd has said that the allegations are "disturbing" and "concerning," but that Robinson has denied them and should prove that they're not true. U.S. Sen. Thom Tillis, the senior senator from North Carolina, told CNN that Robinson must "provide evidence by Friday refuting the damaging information about his posts on a porn site — or the party needs to 'move on' and focus on Trump and down-ticket races."Brad Briner, the Republican nominee for state treasurer, said on X that Robinson should step aside if he can't put the allegations to rest "in the coming days." (The deadline to withdraw from the race was last week.) Former President Trump and Republican candidate for North Carolina's competitive 1st Congressional District Laurie Buckhout have stayed silent. What we're watching: Robinson is set to speak this weekend at NC Faith & Freedom's Salt & Light Conference, where Ben Carson, the Trump campaign's National Faith Chairman, and Republican Congresswoman Nancy Mace will also appear. The latest: Robinson hired a law firm to investigate where and how CNN's "false smears originated," he said in a statement Tuesday. "I am confident that Binnall Law Group will leave no stone unturned and enable us to use every legal means to hold CNN accountable for their lies," Robinson said. Reality check: CNN said that it verified that Robinson made the newly unearthed comments under the username "minisoldr" through both his comments and profile, which offered details that aligned with his personal background, including his name, age, location and marriage details.Politico also reported Monday that the comments allegedly made by Robinson came from an IP address around where he lived at the time. Between the lines: Robinson's campaign still has not announced staff replacements, after eight members of this campaign, including his top adviser, resigned over the weekend."He didn't start off with the A team, but now we're looking at the QRS team," Heye said. Plus, Heye said, "He has no money." The bottom line: Robinson's odds of winning are looking increasingly bleak, and his fellow Republicans' unwillingness to tie themselves to him seems to be evidence that they agree.

South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham, a top ally of Donald Trump, is decrying rhetoric linking Trump and Mark Robinson, the embattled Republican candidate for governor of North Carolina.Robinson has faced severe criticism following a recent CNN report that, in posts on an adult website, Robinson described himself as a “Black Nazi,” called for the return of slavery, and bragged about peeping on nude women. Since the report, Democrats have produced video compilations and advertising tying Trump to Robinson, whom Trump praised as “better than Martin Luther King.”“When somebody says something and I have a relationship with them, I don’t own all of that,” Graham said during an appearance on Fox News’ “Hannity.”“That’s literally [Democrats’] campaign in North Carolina,” he added. “It’s trying to make people believe that Donald Trump is somehow involved with Mark—with the Robinson guy. Donald Trump knew nothing about this. I knew nothing about it. They’re trying to guilt by association—if you’re a Republican, you own Mark Robinson.”xxYouTube Video
