5 things to know for July 10: NATO summit, 2024 race, Beryl aftermath, Immigration, Human plague

CNN’s 5 Things brings you the news you need to know every morning.

Close calls on airport runways this year have alarmed the flying public and aviation experts alike. This week, a United Airlines plane lost a wheel during takeoff from Los Angeles International Airport while two planes in upstate New York almost used the same runway, spurring an investigation. Here’s what else you need to know to Get Up to Speed and On with Your Day. President Joe Biden is hosting global leaders in Washington, DC, at the annual NATO summit, a gathering designed to show a united front on key issues. Biden on Tuesday announced plans to supply new air defenses to Ukraine in his opening speech — providing much-needed support for the country at a critical juncture in its defense against Russia’s invasion. On the sidelines of the summit, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky urged international leaders to promptly aid his war-torn country. “Everyone is waiting for November,” including Russian President Vladimir Putin, Zelensky said, as a potential second Donald Trump presidency remains top of mind for the United States’ allies and adversaries. Senate and House Democrats met Tuesday to discuss President Biden’s 2024 campaign amid a chorus of voices calling on him to quit the race. After the House meeting, several Democrats refused to say whether they supported keeping Biden as the nominee, a sign of the lingering divide over his electoral viability. Sen. Michael Bennet became the first Democratic senator to publicly say he doesn’t believe Biden is capable of winning reelection, telling CNN he fears former President Donald Trump could “maybe win it by a landslide.” Meanwhile, Trump is building suspense around who will be his running mate ahead of the Republican National Convention next week. Trump’s search for a running mate has focused on three names: North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio and Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance. Life-threatening heat is gripping southeast Texas, where nearly 2 million homes and businesses remain without power and air conditioning in the wake of storm Beryl’s deadly and destructive landfall. Beryl tore through the state Monday, flooding coastal communities, shredding homes and ripping down webs of power lines. Phone and internet access has also been cut off in some communities, including Galveston. Prolonged heat is now threatening to pose significant health risks for the elderly, homeless people and children. Cooling centers have opened across the state as temperatures creep into the 90s and heat indices reach 105 degrees in some areas. Voters in eight states will soon decide whether to change their constitutions to explicitly ban voting by noncitizens. The move is part of a multipronged effort by Trump-aligned Republicans to raise the unlikely specter of undocumented immigrants casting ballots in November’s elections. It is already illegal for people who aren’t US citizens to vote in federal contests, and experts say it rarely happens, given that violators face imprisonment and deportation. Separately, a new Massachusetts policy went into effect Tuesday that bans migrants from sleeping at Boston’s Logan International Airport. For months, state officials have warned they were overwhelmed by the number of migrant families arriving and sleeping overnight in the airport’s terminals.
