The Senate filibuster is a hurdle to any national abortion bill. Democrats are campaigning on it

  • 0

Many Democrats campaigning for the Senate this year say they support suspending the filibuster rule to pass nationwide abortion protections. Some warn that Republicans will do the same to impose a federal abortion ban if they win control of Congress in November. But that may not be the case. Several leading Republican senators say they oppose changing the long-standing rule, even if their party retakes the chamber. The filibuster requires 60 votes in the 100-member Senate to advance most legislation. It's been a roadblock for the party in power to push its agenda, but it also can be changed by just a simple majority vote.

Oh, Nelly! Korda makes a 10 on one hole and posts an 80 in U.S. Women's Open

For Nelly Korda, this was a most imperfect 10. The No. 1 player in women's golf had a shocker of a start in the U.S. Women's Open when she made a 10 on her third hole. She wound up with an 80, matching her worst score as a professional. Korda hit into the water three times on the par-3 12th hole. Korda hit her tee shot into a back bunker. Her sand shot went through the green into the water. She dropped on the other side of the stream, and her next two chips rolled back into the water. Korda says "today was just a bad day.”
