Major Developments in US Domestic News: Arrests, Polls, and Resignations
Recent US domestic news includes the arrest of Jewish activists protesting against US military support for Israel, a Reuters/Ipsos poll showing Kamala Harris leading against Donald Trump, and the resignation of US Senator Bob Menendez following corruption charges. Other highlights include communication failures in a mass shooting case, migrant caravans heading to the US border, and increasing wildfire risks due to a heat wave in the West.
Jewish activists were arrested by U.S. Capitol Police during a protest against U.S. military aid to Israel inside Congress. The activists, part of Jewish Voice for Peace, decried the aid with slogans 'not in our name' and 'Jews say stop arming Israel.'
A Reuters/Ipsos poll found Vice President Kamala Harris leading former President Donald Trump 44% to 42% after President Joe Biden ended his re-election campaign. This narrowly reverses the previous week's poll where Trump led before Biden's exit.
U.S. Senator Bob Menendez announced his resignation following his conviction on corruption charges. Menendez will vacate his position by August 20, 2024.
