FILE - Republicans Senate candidate Herschel Walker, center, talks with Georgia state Sen. Butch Miller, left, and former state Rep. Terry Rogers as Walker campaigns July 21, 2022, in Alto, Ga. Walker has plenty to say about how his Democratic rival, Sen. Raphael Warnock, does his job in Washington. But he is considerably less revealing about what he'd do with the role himself.
Republican U.S. Senate candidate Herschel Walker speaks to a standing-room-only crowd of supporters in suburban Atlanta, on Aug. 17, 2022. Since winning the GOP nomination, Walker has stepped up his public appearances with many themed around certain policies. But the 60-year-old political novice is often light or errant on policy details as he tries to unseat Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock. Walker's campaign says his conservative credentials are more important than policy specifics. But Warnock and other Democrats are hammering Walker as unprepared and unfit for high office.

KENNESAW, Ga. (AP) — Republican Herschel Walker has plenty to say about how his Democratic rival, U.S. Sen. Raphael Warnock, does his job in Washington. But Walker is considerably less revealing about what he’d do with the role himself.
A former football star and friend of former President Donald Trump, Walker tells voters he supports agriculture, veterans and law enforcement. He sells cultural conservatism and his mental health advocacy. He tags Warnock as a yes-man for President Joe Biden. Yet when asked for concrete alternatives to “the Biden-Warnock agenda,” Walker defaults mostly to generalities and stem-winding tangents — or he turns the question around.

California is preparing to spend up to $20 million to bring women from other states to its abortion clinics. The policy is aimed at increasing access to a procedure that has been outlawed or restricted in many states since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. Gov. Gavin Newsom had previously restricted the money in the state's “Abortion Practical Support Fund” for in-state travel only. Abortion advocates spent weeks lobbying the governor's office on the issue. Friday, Newsom and legislative leaders revealed an amendment to the budget that allowed public money for out-of-state abortion travel.

Judgement is pending after a two-day bench trial. Griffin has invoked free speech guarantees his defense, comparing himself to civil rights protesters.

Officials say these and dozens of other alleged acts of corruption cost Haiti’s government a “colossal loss” of some 500 million gourdes ($4 million) at a time when state infrastructure is collapsing amid political instability and deepening poverty.

A Pennsylvania man has been sentenced to 46 months in federal prison for attacking a police officer with a Donald Trump flag during the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot. The Philadelphia Inquirer reports that Howard Richardson, 72, of King of Prussia, told the court in Washington “there’s no excuse” for his behavior and pleaded for mercy. But U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly responded, “Your presence and actions in joining other insurrectionists was an inexcusable attack on our democracy.” Richardson’s sentence is one of the longest yet among those who have been prosecuted for storming the Capitol on Jan. 6 to disrupt the certification of President Joe Biden’s 2020 election victory.

California legislators and Gov. Gavin Newsom’s office are discussing a compromise over the future of the state’s last operating nuclear power plant that could allow operator Pacific Gas & Electric to seek federal funds for a longer lifespan for the reactors. It's possible a final decision on whether the Legislature supports an extended run for the Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant beyond its scheduled closing by 2025 could be months away. To qualify for the federal funds, PG&E needs state legislation to show it has a pathway to continue running. The governor has proposed extending the plant’s operating run to maintain reliable power supplies.
