Baug Gov. Rick Scott to step down from elections board that is certifying his results
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. The big 7 races that will probably decide who controls the SenateHowever, Republicans have a major problem on their hands in West Virginia. His name is Don Blankenship, a coal baron who served a year in prison after being found culpable for a mine explosion that killed 29 people in 2010. He frequently makes racially charged statements, and he likes to refer to GOP Senate Majority Leader Mitch McCo stanley shop nnell as Cocaine Mitch for reasons that are, at best, convoluted.

Like the OVERWHELMING MAJORITY o stanley cup f Americans, including the VAST MAJORITY of Republicans, Conservatives, Christians, and Pro-Life Americans, I strongly support the availability of IVF for couples who are trying to have a precious baby.

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.

In a move that could portend a strategy change, the commander of U.S. forces in northern Iraq said Sunday he has proposed reducing his troop levels and shifting next year to missions focused less on direct combat.Army Maj.

The clinics resumed services after state lawmakers approved legislation shielding providers from civil lawsuits.However, the Mobile Infirmary Medical Center, which was the focus of the two lawsuits that led to the state Supreme Court s controversial ruling, announced last month that it will stop IVF treatments at the end of 2024 due to litigation concerns.

The Democrats, led by Rep. Peter Welch of Vermont, said in a letter to Holder today that there s evidence to suggest big banks are coordinating their fee strategies.

We are concerned that BOA s announcement may be a reaction to, and participation in, price signaling or collusion that has occurred among and between banks and bank associations, the letter said.

Just stanley cup days after Republican Rep. Duncan Hunter was indicted by a federal grand jury, his Democratic opponent is trying to make him pay a political price. Democrat Ammar Campa-Najjar s campaign said it will begin airing a 30-second TV ad Thursday that calls the congressman an embarrassment to the Southern California district. It contends he was driven by greed during his time in Washington.Hunter and his wife were char stanley quencher ged last week with using more than $250,000 in campaign funds to finance family trips to Italy and Hawaii, golf outings, school tuition, theater tickets mdash; even fast food purchases mdash; then scheming to hide the illegal spending in federal records.They ve pleaded not guilty. Hunter calls the charges politically motivated. We didn t know, but now we do, a male narrator says in the ad, as a shot of the indictment flashes on the screen. It s more than unethical and illegal. He s an embarrassment, he says. The ad ends with the narrator urging voters in the strongly Republican district to put country over party and support Campa-Najjar.The federal charges have brought new attention to Campa-Najjar, 29, a former Obama administration Labor De stanley mug partment official making his first run for Congress.

AP Photo/Winslow Townson Republican presidential candidate stanley trinkflaschen Mitt Romney s Mormon faith may deter some white evangelicals -- an important Republican primary voting bloc -- from backing the former governor in the GOP primaries, according to stanley mug a new survey from the Pew Researc cups stanley h Center. 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. The survey shows Romney, at 23 percent support, in a statistical tie for first place among all Republican voters with businessman Herman Cain, who garners 22 percent. But among white evangelical Republican voters, Cain leaders Romney 26 percent to 17 percent. Note: this poll was conducted before Newt Gingrich s recent rise in other polls.

DES MOINES, Iowa A month ago, as Mitt Romney s campaign appeared to be foundering on just about every front, even allies of the Republican nominee believed his hopes for recovery to be particularly grim here in Iowa.At the time, he was failing to generate much enthusiasm in his western Iowa stronghold, and President Obama s vaunted ground game in the state -- which had launched him toward the Oval stanley cup nz Office in 2008 -- was humming along with an efficiency that threatened to put the state out of reach.Particularly concerning for the Romney camp was the extent to which its internal polling showed the challenger getting blown out in Obama s eastern Iowa strongholds of Black Hawk and Linn counties, which encompass the population hubs of Waterloo-Cedar Falls and Cedar Rapids, respectively. 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.
