CNN —Two years ago, I could never have predicted the hype which surrounds tonight’s NCAA women’s basketball Final Four. Women’s college basketball is not just on the map for casual fans, it’s a star on the map – thanks at least, in large part, to Iowa star Caitlin Clark. Women’s college basketball is beating America’s pastime. More people have been searching women’s college basketball than for US President Joe Biden. Check the prices for the men’s and women’s college basketball Final Four.

Republican candidates are gearing up for the fourth GOP presidential debate, with a shrinking field as the first nominating contest approaches. After raucous debates in Wisconsin, California and Florida, the candidates are set to return to the debate stage for a two-hour event at 8 p.m. To qualify for the fourth debate, a candidate must reach at least 6% support in two national polls or 6% in one national poll and one poll from an early state poll in Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada or South Carolina, according to rules set by the Republican National Committee. In addition to the polling and fundraising requirements, the candidates must also have taken a loyalty pledge in order to participate in the debate, which all candidates who appeared in the earlier debates completed. With that pledge, which has been somewhat controversial among the candidates, GOP presidential hopefuls must sign a statement that they will support the eventual Republican nominee.

Republican candidates are prepping for the third GOP presidential debate, as the field narrows with just two months to go before the first nominating contest. After raucous debates in Wisconsin and California, the candidates are set to return to the debate stage for a two-hour event at 8 p.m. The smaller field, paired with recent shakeup among the top challengers to Trump, is expected to produce new dynamics on stage. With that pledge, which has been somewhat controversial among the candidates, GOP presidential hopefuls must sign a statement that they will support the eventual Republican nominee. While the other candidates try to break ahead in the polls, former President Donald Trump – who opted not to participate in the first and second debate – is also expected to skip the upcoming confrontation.

Republican candidates are gearing up for the second GOP presidential debate, as they look to chip away at former President Donald Trump’s comfortable lead with less than four months before the first nominating contest. After a raucous first debate in Milwaukie last month, the candidates are set to return to the debate stage for a two-hour event at 9 p.m. To qualify for the second debate, a candidate must poll at least 3% in two national polls or 3% in one national poll and one poll from an early state poll in Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada or South Carolina, according to rules set by the Republican National Committee. In addition to the polling and fundraising requirements, the candidates must also have taken a loyalty pledge in order to participate in the debate, which all eight candidates who participated in the first debate completed. With that pledge, which has been somewhat controversial among the candidates, GOP presidential hopefuls must sign a statement that they will support the eventual Republican nominee.

☆ I was scrolling Trulia on the couch with wine, and it turned into a 1,000-mile move to a place I'd never lived. I'm thrilled.

Texas resident Vanessa Chaverri-Gratz was casually perusing real estate with her husband on a date. We didn't plan to move right away, we said, "Let's just look at real estate, because that's really fun." The house is located in Grosse Ile, Michigan, an island between Michigan and Canada. We were not going to offer over asking, and we weren't going to put ourselves in a bad situation with selling our home. We agreed that unless everything literally fell into perfect place, it wasn't going to happen — and a lot of things needed to fall into place.

LINCOLN, Neb.—Safiullah Arsala was behind the wheel of a Dodge Grand Caravan midway through a typical workday: As a translator and driver for Catholic Social Services, the 64-year-old shuttles Afghans to sewing classes, doctors’ offices and grocery stores across this eastern Nebraska city of 293,000. It is a far cry from Mr. Arsala’s past life in Kabul: Before the U.S. withdrew from Afghanistan in August 2021, he was a civil engineer who oversaw multimillion-dollar electric-transmission projects for the U.S. Embassy. He had saved $120,000 in a bank account and was building a six-story house to live in with some of his 10 children, ages 11 to 32, he said.

☆ Democrats’ Political Gains Create Tight Race for Nebraska GOP Rep. Don Bacon

OMAHA, Neb.—If Republican Rep. Don Bacon gets re-elected in November, it will be in part because his efforts to center his competitive House race on inflation, crime and border security helped win over undecided voters like Todd Christensen. If Mr. Bacon loses, it will be partly because voters in this swing district moved toward Democrats after the overturning of Roe v. Wade and the congressional hearings on the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot by supporters of former President Donald Trump. Mr. Christensen, who voted for Mr. Bacon in his previous three runs for Congress, said he is unsure about doing so again because he thought Mr. Bacon came across as too divisive when he heard him address constituents at town hall meetings.
