In Texas, 18 of the 25 Republican U.S. representatives have voted against Ukraine aid. In Arizona, three of six Republican representatives voted against aid while $2.196 billion poured into the state. The conservative Defending Democracy Together group's "Republicans for Ukraine" campaign has been tracking Republican rhetoric and voting patterns on Ukraine aid legislation. It gave "poor" or "very poor" grades to two of Wisconsin's six Republican representatives, to one of Arkansas' four Republican representatives and to three of Pennsylvania's eight Republican representatives. Yet Johnson voted against Ukraine aid repeatedly before he became speaker last month.

A gas pump selling E15, a gasoline with 15 percent of ethanol, is seen in Mason City, Iowa, United States, May 18, 2015. The decision underscores concerns within President Joe Biden's administration over fuel prices, as opinion polls show inflation and the economy as key vulnerabilities for his 2024 re-election bid. But the U.S. government restricts sales of E15 gasoline in summer months due to environmental concerns over smog. The ethanol industry for years has pushed to lift the restrictions on E15 sales nationwide, arguing the environmental impacts have been overstated. Oil industry-backed studies showed price increases, while ethanol industry-backed studies showed any price increases offset by utilizing lower-cost ethanol.

☆ Biden trails Trump in 2024 US election's key states, polls show
▼ + stars: | 2023-11-06 | by ( Jarrett Renshaw | ) www.reuters.com time to read: +4 min

Trump, his party's frontrunner for the 2024 nomination as he seeks to regain the presidency, leads in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada and Pennsylvania, with Biden ahead in Wisconsin, Sunday's results showed. Biden defeated Trump in all six states in 2020, but Trump now leads by an average of 48% to 44% in those states, the polls showed. THE TAKEWhile polls assessing the national popular vote have consistently showed Biden and Trump in a close race, presidential elections typically are decided by the outcomes in a handful of so-called swing states. Biden's victories in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin - all swing states that Trump carried in 2016 - were instrumental in his 2020 victory. Biden likely would need to carry many of those states again to win re-election.

Former U.S. President and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump speaks on the stage at a South Dakota Republican party rally in Rapid City, South Dakota, U.S. September 8, 2023. The prime time speech is expected to be delivered to auto workers and other blue collar union members, the aide added. The United Auto Workers union began a strike last week against the three biggest U.S. auto manufacturers over pay and other benefits, a labor dispute that could pose significant political danger for Biden. Trump is seeking to exploit the dispute, and will try to persuade auto workers and other union members that he will be on their side if he becomes president again. Trump skipped the first Republican presidential debate in Wisconsin last month.

[1/2] U.S. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) speaks to the media after the weekly Senate Republican caucus luncheon with Republican leadership Senator Steve Daines (R-MT) and John Thune (R-SD), at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, U.S., February 14, 2023. It underscored that a high-quality candidate is crucial," Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell said in an interview. Thirty-four of the 100 U.S. Senate seats will be up for grabs next year. In the 2022 congressional elections, Trump backed controversial Senate candidates including Oz in Pennsylvania and former football star Herschel Walker in Georgia, who both lost to Democrats. Had Republican candidates prevailed in those races, the party would have emerged with a Senate majority.

National median closing prices for single-family homes have been on the rise for the last 13 weeks. The major contributor to the upward price pressure is a lack of inventory, says Brandon Lwowski. Below are two tables that demonstrate the inventory and price changes by state. The major contributor to the upward price pressure is low inventory. Supply of single-family homes has been slipping since the 2008 financial crisis.

☆ U.S. state legislative races carry high stakes for abortion access
▼ + stars: | 2022-09-27 | by ( Joseph Ax | ) www.reuters.com time to read: +6 min

Both the Republican State Legislative Committee (RSLC) and the Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee (DLCC), which support legislative candidates, reported a record pace of fundraising in the first half of the year. A Democratic-aligned group, the States Project, said it would spend a massive $60 million on state legislative races this cycle. Democratic candidates have sought to ensure voters understand the connection between legislative races and abortion access after decades of federal protection. The state Supreme Court this year ruled the state constitution does not protect abortion rights, reversing its own ruling from four years earlier after several new appointees joined the court. She reeled off a list of steps the Democratic majority has taken to expand abortion rights.
