GO. WE HAVE A LOOK AT TODAY’S TOP NEWS STORIES. TRAFFIC AND WEATHER ALL BEFORE YOU HEAD OUT THE DOOR. WE START WITH THE LATEST FROM THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL WITH JUST 99 DAYS UNTIL THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION, VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS IS EXPECTED TO CAMPAIGN IN GEORGIA THIS WEEK. THIS WILL BE HER FIRST VISIT TO THE PEACH STATE AS THE DEMOCRATIC FRONTRUNNER FOR PRESIDENT. POLITICAL EXPERTS SAY HARRIS’S CAMPAIGN IS EXPECTED TO FOCUS ON MOBILIZING SOUTHERN BLACK VOTERS. GEORGIA IS SEEN AS A KEY STATE IN THIS EFFORT. THE VICE PRESIDENT WILL BE IN ATLANTA TOMORROW. NO OTHER DETAILS HAVE BEEN RELEASED. NEW THIS MORNING, PRESIDENT BIDEN IS CALLING FOR MAJOR CHANGES TO THE US SUPREME COURT AND TO THE PRESIDENCY. THE GOAL OF PRESIDENT BIDEN’S THREE POINT PLAN IS TO REFORM THE SUPREME COURT AND TO MAKE SURE NO PRESIDENT IS ABOVE THE LAW. THE SYSTEM HE’S PROPOSING WOULD HAVE THE PRESIDENT APPOINT A JUSTICE EVERY TWO YEARS. EACH APPOINTED JUSTICE WOULD SERVE 18 YEARS ON THE COURT. THEN THE NEXT PROPOSAL IS A BINDING CODE OF CONDUCT FOR JUSTICES, WHICH PRESIDENT BIDEN SAYS CONGRESS SHOULD PASS. THE FINAL CHANGE NO IMMUNITY FOR CRIMES OF FORMER PRESIDENT COMMITTED WHILE IN OFFICE. ANY CHANGES WOULD REQUIRE CONGRESSIONAL APPROVAL, WHICH IS UNLIKELY IN A DIVIDED CONGRESS. WELL, THE FBI CONFIRMED FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP WAS STRUCK IN THE EAR BY A BULLET OR A BULLET FRAGMENT TWO WEEKS AGO DURING AN ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT THURSDAY, THE FEDERAL AGENCY SAID IT’S DEVOTING ENORMOUS RESOURCES TO ITS ONGOING INVESTIGATION OF THE ATTACK AT THE PENNSYLVANIA RALLY.

THE AGENCY IS ALSO SEEKING TO INTERVIEW TRUMP TO OBTAIN A VICTIM STATEMENT. MEANWHILE, REPUBLICAN VICE PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE JD VANCE SAYS DEMOCRATS ARE TAKING HIS CHILDLESS CAT LADY’S COMMENT OUT OF CONTEXT. HE SAYS HE MEANT THEM AS A QUIP AND WAY OF CONVEYING HE’S PRO-FAMILY. THOSE COMMENTS ARE ALL FROM A 2021 FOX INTERVIEW IN WHICH HE SAID, QUOTE, A BUNCH OF CHILDLESS CAT LADIES WERE RUNNING THE COUNTRY IN THAT VIDEO, HE ARGUES, PEOPLE WITHOUT CHILDREN DON’T HAVE A STAKE IN THE COUNTRY’S FUTURE, AND HE NAMES VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS, WHO’S A STEPMOTHER AND TRANSPORTATION SECRETARY PETE BUTTIGIEG, WHO ADOPTED A MONTH LATER. NOW, THE OHIO SENATOR SAYS A HOST OF PEOPLE WHO DON’T HAVE KIDS, QUOTE, CAN PARTICIPATE FULLY IN THE LIFE OF THE COUNTRY, END QUOTE, PEOPLE WHO ATTENDED RALLIES AND VIGILS ACROSS THE COUNTRY ARE DEMANDING JUSTICE FOR SONIA MASSAI IN WHAT ACTIVISTS ARE CALLING A NATIONAL DAY OF MOURNING. FORMER SANGAMON COUNTY SHERIFF’S DEPUTY SEAN GRAYSON IS CHARGED WITH MURDER FOR HER DEATH. OFFICIALS SAY HE WAS IN HER HOME NEAR SPRINGFIELD, ILLINOIS, BECAUSE SHE HAD CALLED 911 FOR HELP. BODY CAM VIDEO SHOWS HER TAKING BOILING WATER OFF THE STOVE AND HIM FIRING HIS WEAPON. GRAYSON’S ATTORNEY HAS DECLINED TO COMMENT ON THE CASE. YESTERDAY, FREEDOM FIGHTERS UPSTATE ORGANIZED A RALLY IN DOWNTOWN GREENEVILLE. COMMUNITY LEADERS SAY ENOUGH IS ENOUGH, AND THEY HOPE TO BOTH PUT AN END TO AND BRING LIGHT TO CORRUPT POLICING. 648 IS YOUR TIME, AND SEVERAL KINDS OF DELI MEAT ARE UNDER A NATIONWIDE RECALL ALERT.
