With so much at stake, CNN has identified 10 races to watch on Tuesday – grouped into buckets that nod to broader themes across the House landscape. Democratic Rep. Abigail Spanberger decided against seeking a fourth term, instead launching a campaign for governor in 2025. Democratic Rep. Jared Golden has crafted a moderate profile by challenging his party on issues ranging from spending to immigration. This year she faces a challenge from GOP state Rep. Gabe Evans, a fellow Mexican American and a former Army helicopter pilot and police officer. GOP Rep. Zach Nunn, an Air Force officer, was first elected in 2022 – defeating Democratic Rep. Cindy Axne by about 2,000 votes.

☆ CEO of aerospace company cited in SpaceX's new lawsuit is siding with Elon Musk
▼ + stars: | 2024-10-16 | by ( Geoff Weiss | Natalie Musumeci | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +6 min

SpaceX compared itself to another space company in its lawsuit against a California agency. Phantom Space CEO Jim Cantrell, a longtime colleague of Elon Musk, supports SpaceX. AdvertisementCantrell told BI that the company got approval for 12 launches at a separate Space Launch Complex at the base. The space rocket company says in the lawsuit that the commission was trying to "unlawfully regulate space launch programs" at Vandenberg military base. Driesen pointed out that SpaceX's lawsuit emphasizes an administrative law claim that federal law prohibits the commission from interfering in the company's launch plan.

Deep-pocketed Republicans donors also tried to close the gap by boosting a GOP super PAC working to seize the Senate majority. America PAC has taken on a critical supporting role for the Trump campaign, according to its independent expenditure filings, which cover some spending beyond September 30. Tuesday’s filings show other conservative billionaires also plowing extraordinary sums into the effort to reelect Trump. Another leading pro-Trump super PAC, Restoration PAC, also reported a huge haul from a single major donor. Meanwhile, the Congressional Leadership Fund – the main super PAC supporting House Republicans – hauled in more than $81 million in the third quarter.

SpaceX has sued the California Coastal Commission. Legal experts said Musk will need to prove the commission would have granted the flights, if not for Musk's politics. In the lawsuit, filed in the US District Court for the Central District of California, Musk's SpaceX accused the commission of '"unconstitutional overreach" after members criticized his political leanings during a meeting about whether to approve more frequent SpaceX launches off the California coastline. "But if a court concludes that it's more likely than not that the result would have been different but for Musk's speech, then there would be a violation," said Volokh.

At the time, Mr. Biden was widely expected to be Mr. Trump’s opponent in the 2020 election. Eugene Vindman, who was dismissed from the White House early in 2020, he says as improper retaliation for his whistle-blowing actions, raised a remarkable sum of money for a first-time candidate. “I sacrificed my military career to expose Trump’s corruption,” Eugene Vindman said in one of his campaign ads. His election to the House is not guaranteed. But Glenn Youngkin, a Republican, won the district the year before by 4.9 points en route to winning the governor’s mansion.

CNN —The Republican primary race between Virginia Rep. Bob Good, the House Freedom Caucus chair who angered allies of former President Donald Trump and former Speaker Kevin McCarthy, and state Sen. John McGuire was too early to call Tuesday night. The congressman from Virginia’s 5th Congressional District has faced a fierce effort to knock him out from a broad swath of the GOP in what became the most expensive House Republican primary of the cycle. Vindman’s role in Trump’s impeachment likely made a difference in his campaign. After spending most of his career in Illinois, Bondar moved to Texas in 2020, living outside Dallas – where he voted in this March’s Republican primary. State voting records show Bondar’s early in-person ballot in his primary race is the first time he has voted in Oklahoma.

CNN —Donald Trump is the first former president to be found guilty of felonies, but he isn’t the first convicted person to run for president in the US. Despite having been sentenced to 10 years in prison for sedition, Debs incredibly received some 914,191 votes, a higher number than when he ran as a free man in 1912. 9653.”Even from prison, Debs cleverly electioneered through the new medium of motion pictures. Following the election of Warren G. Harding in 1920, pressure was placed on outgoing President Woodrow Wilson to pardon Debs.

States could, in theory, try to keep Mr. Trump off the ballot by passing legislation requiring a clean criminal record, but this would be on legally shaky ground. The California Supreme Court also unanimously blocked it as a violation of the state constitution, and the case never reached the U.S. Supreme Court. And the 14th Amendment is separate from criminal cases, meaning convictions would not disqualify Mr. Trump either. Now that Mr. Trump has secured a majority of delegates to the Republican convention, the party has no mechanism to nominate somebody else. Mr. Trump is registered to vote in Florida, and he would be disenfranchised there if convicted of a felony.

Trump repeated his vow that even a conviction would not stop his presidential campaign. "Not at all," Trump told conservative radio host John Fredericks when asked if a conviction and sentence would end his campaign. The former president is correct there is nothing that would stop a presidential candidate from campaigning if one were to be convicted. Trump faces a growing array of legal issues, underlining how his presidential campaign has increasingly become a fight for his own survival.

There has been no indication of any widespread fraud through the use of ballot drop boxes. Nonetheless, conspiracy theories about the drop boxes have continued to circulate, fueled in part by a widely debunked film by Dinesh D’Souza, “2000 Mules,” which uses false and unproven claims to try to show drop boxes being used for fraud.

A doua Miss Liberty va fi instalată în grădina ambasadorului francez şi va rămâne zece ani în Statele Unite, precizează Le Point. Franţa a decis să ofere a doua Statuie a Libertăţii "pentru a aduce omagiu tuturor celor care au permis, de cele două părţi ale Atlanticului, au făcut posibilă edificarea statuii şi care s-au luptat pentru ceea ce simbolizează ea în lumea întreagă". Această a doua statuie va rămâne zece ani în SUA, perioada de împrumut consimţită de Conservatorul din Quai d'Orsay, apoi va reveni în Franţa. Prima Statuie a Libertăţii de aproape 93 de metri înălţime a fost concepută de Eugène Viollet-le-Duc, proiectată de Gustave Eiffel şi sculptată de Auguste Bartholdi.

Această a doua statuie va rămâne în Statele Unite timp de zece ani, perioadă a împrumutului acordat de Conservatorul din Quai d'Orsay, apoi va reveni în Franța. Această a doua Lady Liberty este una dintre replicile pariziene ale faimoasei Statui a Libertății. Prima Statuie a Libertății, de aproape 93 de metri înălțime, a fost concepută de Eugène Viollet-le-Duc, proiectată de Gustave Eiffel și sculptată de Auguste Bartholdi. A fost oferită pentru a sărbători centenarul declarației de independență a Statelor Unite, deși nu a fost inaugurată decât zece ani mai târziu, în 1886.
