State and National News
Donald Trump has promised big plans for recruiting voters in Black, Latino and Asian communities. But five months before the general election votes are cast, the former president’s campaign has little apparent organization to show for those ambitions. The Trump campaign removed its point person for coalitions and hasn’t announced a replacement. The Republican Party’s minority outreach offices across the country have been shuttered and replaced by businesses that include a check-cashing store, an ice cream shop and a sex-toy store. The Trump campaign says it won’t announce its spending or staffing on minority coalition efforts but promises a “comprehensive” effort and believes it has advantages over the reelection bid of Democratic President Joe Biden.
Residents began sifting through the rubble after a tornado plowed through suburban Omaha, Nebraska, demolishing homes and businesses as it moved for miles through farmland and into subdivisions. People gathered Saturday morning in the streets in the Elkhorn area of Omaha amid the scattered remains of the homes and Nebraska Gov. Jim Pillen planned to tour the area later. Some injuries were reported but there were no immediate reports of fatalities as multiple tornadoes were reported in Nebraska and Iowa. The most destructive storm moved from a largely rural area into suburbs of Omaha, a city of 485,000 people. The National Weather Service forecast for Saturday says tornadoes are possible in parts of Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma and Texas.
Student anti-war protesters at U.S. universities are digging in and vowing to keep their demonstrations going, some universities shut down encampments after reports of antisemitic activity among the protesters. Police in riot gear cleared an encampment on the campus of Northeastern University in Boston on Saturday. Several dozen students shouted and booed at them from a distance, but the scene was otherwise not confrontational. The school said in a statement that the demonstration, which began two days ago, had become “infiltrated by professional organizers” with no affiliation to the school and protesters had used antisemitic slurs. The University of Pennsylvania took similar action Friday.
