But the decline in support for Ms. Harris in some of the country’s most liberal areas is particularly notable. For example, in Fulton County, which contains most of Atlanta, Ms. Harris gained about 4,500 votes, but Mr. Trump gained more than 7,400. He similarly outran Ms. Harris where she made gains in Wake County, N.C., Lancaster County, Pa., and Montgomery County, Texas. In Milwaukee County in swing-state Wisconsin, Ms. Harris lost 1,200 voters compared with Mr. Biden’s total in 2020, while Mr. Trump gained more than 3,500.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — The cost of building an artificial intelligence product like ChatGPT can be hard to measure. To keep it cool on hot days, data centers need to pump in water — often to a cooling tower outside its warehouse-sized buildings. The estimate includes indirect water usage that the companies don’t measure — such as to cool power plants that supply the data centers with electricity. It was also thirsty in Iowa, drawing more potable water to its Council Bluffs data centers than anywhere else. Its fourth and fifth data centers are due to open there later this year.

REUTERS/Lucas Jackson/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsAug 22 (Reuters) - Iowa residents living along the route of the U.S.'s largest proposed carbon capture and storage (CCS) pipeline told state regulators they were worried about possible ruptures and land takings at the start of a hearing that will determine the fate of the project. The hearing, which could last weeks, is a major test for the $5.5 billion pipeline proposed by Iowa-based Summit Carbon Solutions, and for CCS, which the administration of U.S. President Joe Biden sees as a critical tool in fighting climate change. Jessica Marson told the board she feared the pipeline could rupture and that its construction could harm her 80 acres of cropland. Summit told Reuters it has secured agreements from nearly 75% of residents along its Iowa route, accounting for 499 miles, and that it is working to sign on the 480 remaining landowners.

DeSantis is scheduled to visit Iowa on Friday, his third trip to the state since declaring his presidential bid. His wife, Casey DeSantis, last week traveled to Iowa to launch a national "Mamas for DeSantis" campaign focused on parental rights, hoping to win over the swing vote of suburban Republican women. DeSantis' supporters are also emphasizing what they see as the similarities between DeSantis and Kim Reynolds, Iowa's popular Republican governor, said one person close to the campaign. "The campaign has the most sophisticated and experienced team ever in Iowa, and is poised to crush DeSantis," Trump spokesperson Steven Cheung said. A dearth of reliable polling in Iowa makes it difficult to assess the real strength of both DeSantis and Trump in the state.

In recent days, Trump has lashed out at Cohen, Daniels and prosecutors. The Trump Organization was convicted in December in an unrelated criminal tax fraud case brought by the Manhattan DA's office. A grand jury impaneled in that case recommended that a number of people be charged with a range of crimes.

"I think like a moth to a flame, Trump will run in 2024," one senior adviser told Reuters, speaking on condition of anonymity. Trump has kept up a steady pace of political rallies since leaving office, where he publicly flirts with another run. In a direct challenge to Trump, several major Republican figures are considering whether to seek the party's presidential nomination in 2024. Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin and Trump's former vice president, Mike Pence, are also seen as potential rivals, among others. A Trump run could mean a rematch of the 2020 Biden-Trump election.
