On October 15th, US media continued to focus on the ongoing government shutdown, with early reports detailing Hamas reasserting control in Gaza and President Trump's commitment to disarm the group. By late morning, attention shifted to Israel's claim that a body returned by Hamas was not a hostage, and the GOP setting the stage for an extended shutdown. Throughout the afternoon and into the evening, the dominant narrative became the Supreme Court appearing inclined to limit race-based electoral districts under the Voting Rights Act.
