“Souls to the polls”
With Election Day just two weeks away, polls in North Carolina show a margin-of-error contest between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump in the state. For Clinton, who hopes to emulate President Obama’s 2008 and 2012 success at turning out African-American voters, that means an all out push to get “souls to the polls,” and to get them there early.
Full Florida offensive
Donald Trump is spending his third straight day in Florida, where he’s already made six campaign stops since Sunday. The Republican presidential nominee desperately needs to win Florida and its 29 electoral votes if he wants to make it into the nation’s top job, but the odds are stacked against him there -- and in other key battleground states.
“Nasty women”
The race for the White House is starting to focus on 13 battleground states that will decide who is our next president. At the start of this campaign Hillary Clinton was reluctant to draw too much attention to her gender. But those concerns have largely fallen away as she and supporters call on sisterhood to see her through to the finish line.
Battle for Mosul
ISIS militants, feeling the squeeze as Iraqi national and Kurdish forces close in on their last stronghold, are lashing out. We’re with Kurdish forces facing ISIS’ guerilla tactics as they enter virtual ghost towns between the front line and the prize of Mosul. The militants are also trying to draw attention away from the fight by popping up elsewhere, necessitating serious U.S. backup from above.
Private diagnosis
There are many deeply personal reasons for some breast cancer patients to decide to keep their diagnosis to themselves, but cancer experts say it’s important to have at least a few confidantes by your side. Without the support of close friends or family members, the journey can be more isolating.
Obamacare options
Plans by several major insurance companies to exit Obamacare next year amount to a major headache for consumers who use the federal program to obtain health coverage. With the annual open enrollment season starting next week, we look at what people can do if their insurers have bailed from Obamacare.
