Harris woos Republicans where Washington crossed the Delaware
Harris was introduced by Pennsylvanian Bob Lange, a fifth generation Pennsylvania farmer, and his wife, Kristina. Bob said he voted for Donald Trump twice and Kristina voted for him once.
“I thought he’d fight for people like us, but it’s clear Donald Trump doesn’t care about helping hardworking people, and he certainly doesn’t care about our commonwealth and our Constitution,” Bob Lange told the crowd in Washington Crossing. “He only cares about what’s good for him. Jan. 6 was the straw that broke the camel’s back for me.”
“Never in a million years did either of us think that we’d be standing here supporting a Democrat,” his wife added. “But we’ve had enough.”
In a previous interview with WHYY News, Greenwood, who was an early Republican “never Trumper” and now chairs “Republicans for Harris,” said that he hoped that, one day, the Republican Party would choose to move on, putting country over a divisive personality.
“The first order of business obviously is we have to get Donald Trump out of the way because he’s toxic,” he said. “He is a malignant narcissist, and he has dragged a whole bunch of frankly gullible people into believing the things that he has said.”
He added that he disagreed with some of Harris and the Democrats’ policies, but that Republicans in Congress could “temper” any liberal policies they might agree with.
“That’s the way the system’s supposed to work,” he said.
Kinzinger appeared to share Greenwood’s sentiment, giving brief remarks at Washington Crossing.
“Donald Trump may be running as a Republican, but the truth is, he does not share those long-held Republican values of supporting democracy, of standing for the rule of law and of faithfulness to the Constitution,” he said. “As a Republican, that saddens me. But what gives me hope is that there is a candidate in this race who does hold those values.”
WASHINGTON (7News) — With thousands of spectators expected to attend the UFC fights at The White House, fans had to fight the weather while awaiting the much-anticipated event.
Fight night on Sunday was preceded by excitement in the hours leading up to the first bout.

“Everywhere you walk, people have American flags; they’re excited about the fights,” said David Klimek.
The heat and humidity blanketed the nation’s capital throughout the day.
Event staff handed out free water bottles along the path leading to the security screening area.
“We’re probably just going to find a bar or a watch party, maybe get out of the heat a little bit. They were giving out free waters. That was cool. I wasn’t expecting that,” said Nathan Willingham.
Klimek echoed this sentiment, telling 7News, “It’s just too hot out here. We try to have water, but you’re standing in the sun, so we did the best we can.”
It wasn’t just the heat that played a role on Sunday.
The possibility of storms also had fans making plans in case they had to find cover.
“We planned to just wait it out right in the rain. But for the lightning, we were just going to follow the crowd, see where people go. I heard they were going to come back when it’s over, so we just trusted the organizers to keep us safe,” Klimek said.
Ethan Ragland told 7News, “I think we’re just going to go to a bar, just watch the fight there if that happens. That’s the ‘plan B,’ I guess.”
In the days leading up to the fights, public safety officials ramped up security measures.
That included road closures all around the National Mall.

“I think they did a really good job of setting up all of the infrastructure. They got a lot of police. It seems like it’s pretty safe,” Willingham said. “I was worried about the possibility of some dangerous stuff, but it seems like it’s very, very secure.”
Many roads will remain closed through Monday evening.
The Mariners will try to wipe the slate clean today behind Emerson Hancock. He could use a great outing as much as the Mariners could use one from him. Since his first start in May, Hancock has looked less like a breakout star and more like a somewhat improved version of his old self. Over that time, his K%-BB% is down to just 12%, and he’s outrunning his peripherals on the back of a .200 BABIP. That’s all fine, and even that version of Hancock has more of a career in front of him than the guy who finished last season. But one hopes he can adjust back now that the league has clearly adjusted to him.
The Nats will counter with PJ Poulin, who will work as an opener in front of Miles Mikolas.
With Randy Arozarena still down with the hamstring issue and Julio Rodríguez getting a DH day, we’ll see an outfield of Luke Raley, Víctor Robles, and Dominic Canzone. It’s giving 2024. I wouldn’t read too much into Raley, Canzone, and Miles Mastrobouni getting starts against a lefty since Mikolas is expected to get the bulk today for Washington. Honestly, I’m surprised more teams aren’t trying a lefty opener against the Mariners.
Pretty standard lineup for the Nats except that Curtis Mead has the day off, and James Wood gets DH duty. On the seventh day, they rested.
First pitch: We got ourselves brunch baseball, baby. 10:35 PDT first pitch.

A fighter jet crashed into a mountain Saturday afternoon in Yakima County, Washington, sparking a wildfire, local officials said.
The crash occurred at about noon near Rimrock Lake in Washington state. The pilot sustained minor injuries after ejecting from the plane and was transported to the hospital, the Yakima County Sheriff’s Office said.
The crash sparked a fire in the area, prompting the evacuation of campers as firefighters worked to suppress it, officials said.
The U.S. Marine Corps told CBS affiliate KIRO-TV in a statement that the crashed jet was an F/A-18 Hornet “assigned to Marine Aircraft Group 11, 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing.”
The jet “experienced a non-fatal aviation mishap while conducting routine training approximately 55 miles southeast of Seattle, Washington,” the statement read.
The 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing is based in Marine Corps Air Station Miramar in San Diego, California.
The Naches Fire Department said the fire was being suppressed by helicopters and at least one engine from the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest crew.
Helicopters and at least one engine from the U.S. Forest Service’s Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest also responded. The size of the blaze was unclear.
The cause of the crash is under investigation, officials said.
