New fight over abortion jolts Democratic battle to take on Johnson in Wisconsin
CNN
President Joe Biden has gone from narrowly winning Wisconsin nearly two years ago to becoming an apparent liability for Democrats running there -- so much so that two of the leading candidates running for their party's US Senate nomination won't say whether he should run again.
But the Wisconsin Senate Democratic candidates are banking on two key factors to overcome an unpopular President: spotlighting GOP Sen. Ron Johnson's controversies and tapping into voters' anger that the US Supreme Court has sent Wisconsin back to an abortion ban enacted before the Civil War.
"I think it eliminates whatever advantage Republicans have," said Tom Nelson, an Outagamie County executive who's a Democrat running for Senate, about the ruling last week.

As lawmakers demand answers over reports that the US military carried out a follow-up strike that killed survivors during an attacked on an alleged drug boat in the Caribbean, a career Navy SEAL who has spent most of his 30 years of military experience in special operations will be responsible for providing them.
