"The World Health Organization yesterday declared a new Ebola outbreak in Central Africa to be an international public health emergency. More than 80 people have died. The outbreak started in the Democratic Republic of Congo and has since spread to Uganda. Nearby countries are now on alert. WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said in a statement that the declaration "does not meet the criteria of pandemic emergency" and advised countries against closing their borders."
Sen. Bill Cassidy of Louisiana lost a three-way Republican primary for reelection, finishing last. He was one of seven Republican senators who voted to remove President Trump after the Jan. 6 insurrection. Cassidy said the campaign should focus on the future, but many Republican voters viewed the conviction vote as betrayal. He tried to repair ties with Trump supporters while keeping an independent approach, though that combination may be difficult. At least five of the seven senators who voted to convict Trump will leave office after this year, and Cassidy’s defeat could discourage further breakaways. In Georgia, primaries for governor and U.S. Senate are expected to be heated. The World Health Organization declared a new Ebola outbreak in Central Africa an international public health emergency, with more than 80 deaths, spreading from the Democratic Republic of Congo to Uganda, while advising against border closures.
