recommended she remain under medical supervision. the queen remains comfortable and at balmoral. her country estate in the scottish highlands. greg palkot is reporting live from london with this news this morning. hi, greg. this is a country on edge. the last 90 minutes or so since we got the word from the royal household they re concerned about her health. new words we ve never heard about queen elizabeth ii before. the whole country is concerned and worried and praying. the news came following a cancellation last night of a zoom meeting with government officials. we didn t think too much of that but in fact it was an indication that there is something amiss. we have seen her on tuesday greeting the new incoming prime minister, liz truss, the 15th prime minister that this very long-serving monarch has been involved with, a sign of her longevity. in the past couple of months she has had mobility issues. difficulty in getting around. and she is 96 years old. we saw her, as y

when you put that together, is that a winning formula for you or do you believe the issue of abortion as we saw democrats come out and vote trump that new district? the democrats don t have any other issues to run on because their agenda and biden s policies have failed significantly. as i mentioned earlier the result has been economic hardship. people in this district are looking for change right now. now, as you noted in the state of kansas, post dobbs decision abortion is no longer a federal issue. it is a state issue. i have stated as a candidate i m not in support of a federal ban. davis in comparison votes for taxpayer funded abortion and supports late term abortion. she is out of step with the district. the focus right now is really on the economy. it is on safety and security. the biden administration and davis has been a failure in that regard.
