Was it in the Chicago area that a security guard tried to stop a mother and daughter from entering a store because the daughter wasn't wearing a mask? The mother pulled out a gun and killed him.
OHIO: As of Tuesday afternoon, there are 25,250 cases in the state, 1,436 deaths, and 4,539 hospitalizations, according to the Ohio Department of Health.
Senators have been elected by popular vote since 1913. Since then four incumbent presidents have been voted out of office: Hoover (1932), Ford (1976), Carter (1980) and Bush Sr. (1992). Of those elections, only in 1932 did the incumbent president's party lose control of the Senate: that was in 1932, when the GOP lost eleven seats to the Dems.
Montana and North Carolina are seen as the competitive races in this cycle. Montana's popular Democratic governor, Steve Bullock, is term-limited, but his lieutenant governor is the frontrunner for the Democratic nomination, making the race a tossup in a state Donald Trump won by 20 points in 2016. North Carolina is a Republican-leaning state with a Democratic governor, Roy Cooper, meaning that Cooper faces a tough reelection, though most forecasters give the race a Democratic lean.

A fellow student who works at a nearby grocery store says the workers don’t dare reprimand customers who don’t wear masks because they fear being attacked. That sort of thing is actually happening…
