AP News, I'm Ben Thomas, the judge overseeing the Georgia election interference case has dismissed six charges in the indictment, including three against former President Trump. However, many other charges have been left intact. John Acevedo at Emory University School of Law on the impact. This shows a bit of sloppy work from the District Attorney's office. It's a small error. It's something that can be remedied, but it's going to cause quite a bit of delay. Funny we'll either have to go back, amend these charges, re-have them indicted on them, and then proceed, which will cause quite a bit of delay, or it shall have to appeal to the state court of appeals, the Georgia court of appeals. President Biden's making a Midwest campaign swing in Milwaukee saying, "My predecessor who failed the most basic duty any president knows is the American people, the duty to care, just to care.

President Biden's making a two-day swing to Wisconsin and Michigan, and Saka Megani reports his White House rematch is a rarity. You have to go back to names like Adams, Jefferson, Hamilton, Van Buren, and most recently, Eisenhower. He ran twice against a widely respected governor, Adley Stevenson, beating soundly both times. This is the first rematch in 68 years. Southern Methodist University's Cal Jillson says perhaps the best parallel for Donald Trump drove her Cleveland decades before that. He won the White House in 1884, and then he lost it in the subsequent election and came back and won it again. Winning back, the White House from the man who pushed him out, Benjamin Harrison. Cleveland is the only president to serve non-consecutive terms. Something Trump hopes to replicate. Sager Megani, Washington. And I'm Ben Thomas, AP News. Thanks for listening.
