Gunnar Henderson hits 10th HR for 1st of 4 hits in Orioles’ 7-3 win over Nationals
WE COULD SEE THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS IN THE TEN DAY FORECAST. ALL RIGHT. THANKS, MARY ELLEN, A SITTING REPUBLICAN SENATOR, WAS OUSTED IN LOUISIANA’S PRIMARY ELECTIONS THIS WEEKEND AFTER FACING AN OPPONENT BACKED BY PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP. IT’S THE LATEST EXAMPLE OF THE PRESIDENT PUSHING OUT GOP LAWMAKERS THAT HAVE DEFIED HIM ON CERTAIN ISSUES, UNDERSCORING HIS CONTINUED GRIP ON THE PARTY EVEN AS HIS DISAPPROVAL RATING WITH THE BROADER PUBLIC INCHES HIGHER. WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENT JACKIE DEFUSCO IS TRACKING THOSE RESULTS FROM OUR D.C. BUREAU. JACKIE, WHAT WAS SENATOR CASSIDY’S MESSAGE LAST NIGHT FOLLOWING HIS DEFEAT? YEAH. BAILEY. SO IN A LATE NIGHT CONCESSION SPEECH LAST NIGHT, REPUBLICAN SENATOR BILL CASSIDY SAID THAT THIS COUNTRY IS NOT ABOUT ONE INDIVIDUAL. HE SAID THAT HIS LOYALTY IS TO THE CONSTITUTION. APPEARING TO TAKE AIM AT PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP WITHOUT ACTUALLY NAMING HIM SPECIFICALLY. INSULTS ONLY BOTHER ME IF THEY COME FROM SOMEBODY OF CHARACTER AND INTEGRITY. AND I FIND THAT PEOPLE OF CHARACTER AND INTEGRITY DON’T SPEND THEIR TIME ATTACKING PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET. IN A SERIES OF SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS ON SATURDAY, PRESIDENT TRUMP CALLED CASSIDY DISLOYAL, SAYING THAT IT IS NICE TO SEE THAT HIS POLITICAL CAREER IS OVER. THIS IS LONG SOUGHT REVENGE AFTER CASSIDY VOTED TO CONVICT PRESIDENT TRUMP BACK DURING THE 2021 IMPEACHMENT TRIAL OVER THE JANUARY 6TH ATTACK ON THE U.S. CAPITOL AND MORE RECENTLY, AS CHAIR OF THE SENATE HEALTH COMMITTEE. CASSIDY HAS ALSO BEEN CRITICAL OF SOME RECENT VACCINE POLICY CHANGES. CASSIDY ULTIMATELY FINISHED BEHIND THE TRUMP BACKED CANDIDATE IN THIS RACE, CONGRESSWOMAN JULIA LETLOW, WHO WILL NOW COMPETE AGAINST STATE TREASURER JOHN FLEMING IN A RUNOFF NEXT MONTH FOR THE REPUBLICAN SENATE NOMINATION IN LOUISIANA. AND FOR NOW, PRESIDENT TRUMP IS TURNING HIS ATTENTION TO TUESDAY’S PRIMARY ELECTION OVER IN KENTUCKY, WHERE HE’S ALSO HOPING TO PUSH OUT ANOTHER REPUBLICAN CONGRESSMAN, THOMAS MASSIE. MASSIE HAS SPARRED WITH THE PRESIDENT ON A RANGE OF ISSUES THAT INCLUDES IRAN, WAR AND THE EPSTEIN FILES. NOW, THE PRESIDENT’S RECENT SUCCESS IN OUSTING HIS REPUBLICAN CRITICS UNDERSCORES HIS CONTINUED COMMAND OVER THE PARTY. BUT THIS PUBLIC GOP INFIGHTING COULD ALSO POTENTIALLY POSE A CHALLENGE FOR REPUBLICANS, AS THEY FACE A TOUGH BATTLE TO HOLD ON TO CONTROL OF CONGRESS AND THIS FALL’S MIDTERM ELECTIONS. BAILEY. ALL RIGHT, JACKIE, LIVE IN OUR WASHINGTON BUREAU. THANK YOU. TUESDAY IS THE PRIMARY ELECTION, AND NOW’S A GOOD TIME TO MAKE PLANS TO VOTE. IF YOU NEED HELP GETTING TO YOUR LOCAL POLLING LOCATION, RAPID TRANSIT IS OFFERING FREE FIXED ROUTE RATES IN YORK COUNTY FOR PRIMARY DAY RIDERS WON’T NEED TO PAY A FAIR OR DISPLAY A BUS PASS.
