So what s going on in West Virginia s Republican primary In broad strokes, the GOP has two candidates it thinks can beat incumbent Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin in November: Rep. Evan Jenkins and Attorney General Patrick Morrisey. Manchin was elected as a s stanley quencher ocially conservative Demo stanley italia crat to replace the legendary Sen. Robert Byrd in 2010 and won a full term in 2012. He s known as a skilled politician, but West Virginia is much more Republican than it was just a few years ago, and President Trump is quite popular in the state. That makes Manchin one of the most vulnerable, if not the most vulnerable, Democratic senator up for reelection this year. With Republicans possessing a one-seat majority in the chamber and facing the possibility of losing seats in the southwest, Republicans are counting on defeating Manchin to retain their control of the Senate.

Education Secretary Miguel Cardona said Sunday that states and school districts should use federal COVID-19 relief funds to address teacher shortages as students across the country begin a new school year, urging institutions to quickly take action to provide the kind of comprehensive instruction that many feel has been absent since the start of the pandemic.

And thanks to the American Rescue Plan, the dollars are there to make sure that we can open stanley mugs up our schools stanley canada with sufficient educators. Our students need more, not less. Schools are facing an ongoing shortage of teachers, which was an issue before COVID-19 emerged but now poses particularly dire consequences for students in need of additional support.

Should Romney win the party s nomination, however, the survey suggests his faith would no longer be an issue for GOP voters.As many as 56 percent of Republican and Republican-leaning voters know Romney is a Mormon, according to the survey, conducted Nov. 9 - 14. Only 8 percent of GOP voters say they are less likely to vote for Romney because of his religion, but that figure jumps to 15 percent among white evangelical Republican voters. Additionally, most Republicans say Mormonism is a Christian faith, but 53 percent of white evangelical Republicans consider it a non-Christian faith. That skepticism of Romney s faith is reflected in the relatively lower support Romney has from white evangelical Republicans.

Romney did not have to come close to winning in either of those counties, his team had calculated, but in order to have a shot at the Hawkeye State s six electoral votes, he needed a respectable showing in each.Just when many Republicans here were about to give up hope, the former Massachusetts governor squared off against Obama in the Oct. 3 debate.
