What BBN said about it
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorWe begin with a Domino's driver in Iowa who is twenty-two years old and running for the state House, and Fox News says he credits Charlie Kirk with helping young men embrace conservative principles.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorHe already knows the district, the doorsteps and the traffic. Frankly, he has been canvassing for years, just with pizza.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorOver in Texas, the Fox report on Johnny Garcia, the Democrat running in the Thirty-Fifth District, says the Bexar County Sheriff's Office suspended him twice without pay, for insubordination and negligence.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorI'd call that a candidate with a long history of independent thinking and a strong relationship with his own paperwork.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorA quick change of tone.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorNPR reports that in Delhi, families of patients at public hospitals often sleep on the sidewalk, because aid covers the care but not a place to stay.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorI came in with a reframe, and I'm putting it down. They need a bed.
