AP News, I'm Haya Pangwani. The judge overseeing the Georgia election interference case on Wednesday dismissed some of the charges against former President Donald Trump. The charges in question have to do with soliciting elected officials to violate their oaths of office. It's Biden vs Trump again for the presidency in a rare White House race rematch. AP correspondent Sagar McGonnie has that story. You have to go back to names like Adams, Jefferson, Hamilton, Van Buren, and most recently Eisenhower. He ran twice against the 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. When he backed 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.

One analyst says almost 10 years on, Dollar Tree is still sifting through the mess it inherited and has not been able to completely turn around. Dollar Tree's customers have actually been trying to cut spending as they wrestle with inflation. While more shoppers were heading to stores, they were closely watching how much they spent with the average ticket down, 0.7%. I'm Rita Foley.
