Harris in Texas, Georgia On Edge, Menendez Brothers Case

T​he presidential candidates are racing around the seven swing states and today they're both in Texas — one of the reddest states in the country. Swing states like Georgia are on edge as the FBI warns state and local officials that extremists with election grievances could turn to violence in the coming weeks. Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón is recommending that the Menendez brothers be resentenced and released from prison. And President Biden is set to make a formal apology for the federal government's Native American Boarding schools.
