"Live from NPR News in Washington.
in six states in Minnesota, Mark Lindell is pitching for the GOP Goobinatorial nod, known

Democratic Socialist Francesca Wong is bidding for the Democratic slot in Wisconsin's Goobinatorial race, editor Jessica Taylor with the Cook Political Reports says appealing to moderates will be key." That's the real test this cycle because these are not candidates that were running in Manhattan or running in Denver. They're now
“running in swing states. And I think this will tell us something about the viability”

where yesterday's earthquake left at least 181 dead and PR's Katie Riddle has more. The earthquake was 7.4 in magnitude. That's similar to the twin quakes that struck in his whale recently. But unlike that event, this one happened at a relatively deep part of the Earth. Harold Tobin is the director of the Pacific Northwest seismic network. The slip is so deep that even the people who are directly above it at the epicenter
are already 100 kilometers away from the earthquake. So that makes the shaking relatively smaller because the earthquake waves spread out like ripples in a pond. But as we've seen, that doesn't mean they are damaging. At the same time, this depth means the earthquake has a further reach. It will take weeks to assess the full extent of its damage.

Epidemiologists and team reach out to CDC regularly to understand what they're seeing in a larger context nationally, which is really important. And when those personnel are gone, the positions are unfilled. It really slows not only the reporting, but the disease investigation. The number of cyclists Borayasus cases reported by Missouri shot up to nearly 1,600 recently. Michigan, the epicenter has over 12,000 cases. Yuki Naguchi in PR News.
