This is AP News, I'm Rita Folley. What could happen as the jury returns for day two of deliberations in Donald Trump's Hush Money trial? The AP's Michael Sisak is in New York. Ultimately, it could find Trump guilty, not guilty, or if it goes on long enough, there could be a hung jury and a missed trial. Now the jury can also find Trump guilty on some charges, not guilty on others, guilty on all, not guilty on all. The jury must be unanimous in its finding. That means all 12 jurors must agree either way. Millions of Americans will see more severe weather. The AP's Donna Warder. In spring, Texas on Tuesday. How do you get him out?

McDonald's is pushing back against talk of higher prices. McDonald's U.S. President Joe Erlinger says reports suggesting the price of the average Big Mac have doubled since before the pandemic are exaggerated. Erlinger says he and many franchisees are frustrated by a viral post on X about a Big Mac meal in Connecticut that cost $18 calling the price an exception. McDonald says the average U.S. price for a meal is around $9.29. The fast food giant saw a slowdown earlier this year as inflation-weary consumers dined out less often. Since the end of 2019, the average price for a Big Mac went up about 20%. The average cost for all menu items is up 40% over the last five years, with franchise up 44%, which they attribute to higher costs for labor, paper, and food products. That's nearly twice the rate of cumulative consumer inflation. I'm Jennifer King.
