states, North Carolina, Arkansas, and Texas, where the most hotly contested races are

headed to a Republican runoff against state attorney general Ken Paxton. Four days into a war that President Trump has suggested could last several weeks or longer, hundreds of people have been killed most in Iran, but the Pentagon says six U.S. service members have been killed in an Iranian drone strike in Kuwait. President Trump's reasons for attacking Iran continued to shift in PR's deepest shiver
on reports he now says it was proactive. Trump had previously said that the U.S. acted in Iran because Tehran's nuclear program was close to having missiles that could reach the U.S. Now, he says he believed in
Iranian attack was coming first, though he did not cite any intelligence to that effect.
It was my opinion that they were going to attack first, they were going to attack. If we didn't do it, they were going to attack first, I felt strongly about that. The U.S. struck Iran over the weekend after weeks of building up a large military presence
“in the region, even as negotiations to try to reach a deal with Iran were ongoing.”
Trump touted the success of the mission thus far, though he has not outlined how he sees the conflict ending, but he did say that, quote, "Lots of people are coming forward to negotiate a resolution, deepish of Iran and PR news the White House." Up administration officials were on Capitol Hill Tuesday, meeting behind closed doors with the full House in Senate and making the case to Congress for the Iran war, they included
Secretary of State Marco Rubio. You know, we're going to unleash Cheng on these people in the next few hours and days. You're going to really begin to perceive a change in the scope and in the intensity of
these attacks, as frankly, the two most powerful air forces in the world take apart this
terrorist regime and defang it and take away its ability to threaten its neighbors or hide behind a zone of immunity that allows them to develop their nuclear ambitions. Democrats say President Trump should have sought congressional approval to Senate due to
“vote Wednesday on a war of power's resolution, the House on Thursday.”
The leader of California's Democratic Party urging struggling candidates for governor to end their campaigns from a member station KQED, Guy Marcerotti reports. With nine major Democrats running for governor, there's a chance they could split the vote in the June primary and allow two Republicans to advance the November election. Now, party chair Rusty Hicks is calling on Democrats to drop out if they lack a viable path
to the general election. But hours later, one low polling candidate, former state controller Betty Yee, officially filed for the ballot. We're undergoing a process of constant assessment that every time we do that, we just see that this is still a white-open race candidate who remain in the race after this
Friday. We'll be on the ballot when voting begins in May. For MPR news, I'm Guy Marcerotti in San Jose. This is in PR. And Georgia, the father of the Q's Gumbun who killed two students and two teachers at a high

manslaughter. Jerseyers took less than two hours to convict 55-year-old Colin Gray, prosecutors say Gray gave his troubled teenage son a rifle for Christmas enabling him to carry out the shooting at Appalachia High School. Some of the most prominent figures in autism research have curated a group to counter
ideas coming from the Trump administration in Pierce John Hamilton has more. It's called the Independent Autism Coordinating Committee. It was formed just weeks after HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. replaced every member of a similar committee that advises the federal government on autism research priorities. The new group plans to offer alternative guidance.
It includes two former directors of the National Institute of Mental Health, leading academic scientists and doctors of former congressmen and members of advocacy organizations. Most of them have criticized Kennedy's efforts to link vaccines in autism, as well as his support for ideas about the condition that lack credible scientific backing. The Independent Committee plans to hold its first public meeting on March 19 in Washington.
