03:40The Cheneys have sharply criticized Trump for refusing to accept the results of the

03:432020 election and for his role in the January 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol.

03:49Harris needs to win over Republicans and independents wary of Trump without alienating her base.

03:55She has taken a center-to-right leaning stance on several issues, including staunch support

03:59for Israel, a border policy tough on migrants, and an all-of-the-above energy strategy to

04:04keep fuel costs low.

04:06What is one of the states projected to decide the election?

04:36Queen.

04:37Authorities said Placencia purchased ketamine from Chavez.

04:40In text messages to Chavez discussing the amount they would charge Perry, Placencia

04:44allegedly wrote, quote,

04:46I wonder how much this moron would pay.

04:56factors that caused him to lose consciousness and brown in his hot tub.
