In battleground states, a network of Republican political operatives and lawyers is trying to shape the November's election in favor of former President Donald Trump.

The Associated Press reports one key figure is the former Chief of Staff to former Alabama Governor Don Siegelman.

Former President Donald Trump says that, if he wins a second term, he wants to make IVF treatment free for women, but did not detail how he would fund his plan or precisely how it would work.

The controversy over IVF can be traced back,in part, to an Alabama Supreme Court ruling back in February that frozen embryos “are children.”

Vice presidential nominee Tim Walz and former President Bill Clinton headlined day three of the Democratic National Convention. The crowd also heard from Republicans with the message of “quit Trump.” That included a GOP voter from Alabama.

Convention roll call votes can be staid and cheesy, but Democrats turned theirs into the ultimate dance party on Tuesday.

Alabama, obviously, got "Sweet Home Alabama" by Lynyrd Skynyrd.
