Clips of the exchange and other debate moments impressed Trump, sources told CNN, and played a role in Vance securing a race-defining endorsement from the former president. Vance, now the Republican nominee for vice president, will join his Democratic counterpart, Minnesota Gov. Vance, at just 40 years old and two years into his political career, is still a largely unproven commodity. It’s a skill that matters deeply to Trump, one Vance first picked up in the Marines when he was assigned to the public affairs office. While Harris and Walz have approached the press with extreme caution, Vance has made it a point to appear accessible.

When my dad died, I realized life insurance was a priority, but it doesn't cover everything I need. After that ordeal, I decided to up my life insurance to ensure that my family wouldn't face the same troubles if I died unexpectedly. It was important to me that — on top of paying funeral costs — my life insurance policy also covered our home's mortgage. Unlike critical illness insurance, cancer insurance only covers costs associated with cancer. While different health insurance plans offer different treatment coverages, Aflac's cancer insurance offers supplemental coverage that covers several treatment options.

Lung cancer is rare in people under 45, but more women who have never smoked are developing the disease. She was young, healthy, and never smoked so was shocked when she was diagnosed with lung cancer. Although CDC data suggests rates of cigarette smoking, which is the leading risk factor for lung cancer in the US, have declined significantly over the last few decades, rates of non-smokers getting lung cancer are rising. Doctors quickly identified she had stage four, non-small cell lung cancer, which had spread to her pelvis, right femur, and cervical spine. She and her husband started Ten for Ten Million to raise funds for research at the MD Anderson Cancer Center.

The combination of Dish and DirecTV has been rumored for years and nearly happened in 2002 until it collapsed under regulatory pressure. The prospect of a future EchoStar bankruptcy and deal approval from creditors make the completion of a deal complicated.

Dish ended its last quarter with 6.1 million satellite subscribers and 2 million customers for Sling TV, Dish's over-the-internet package of linear networks.
