Come in. Georgia, however, they do think is going to be a nailbiter that could potentially be in recount territory, when all is said and done. Shannon, what state do you think the Trump Campaign thinks they have the strongest case here well, i mean, as far as total votes go, i think they still have the strongest chance in arizona.

Likely a prelude to a new stage of conflict with incredibly high stakes for israel, the palestinians and for the United States and the world. Air strikes in gaza have intensified today ahead of a possible Ground Invasion intended to crush hamas. Nbcs ellison barber captured this video of a steady stream of tanks about two miles from the border with gaza. U. S. Secretary of state Antony Blinken was in israel today reiterating the yaunts decades long and steadfast commitment to israel. Here is what he had to say about the conflict ahead. On the humanitarian situation in gaza, i think its first important to remember fundamental issue that makes this complicated.

Anything to get them closer to the suspect. At this point there is no arrest that weve heard or anything like that. This is really an allout manhunt at this point. So tell me about the status of the deputies. You said that one was described as a young mother and also a young deputy. They hadnt been on the job too long .
