A.P. News. I'm Ed Donahuey. Empathically, President Biden said today he is in the race. He tells MSNBC that the American public is not going to move away from me as the average voter. The president says he wants the drama over his debate performance within his own party to end. There have been calls for the president to step aside, but press secretary Carin Jean-Pierre says there has been a turnaround. Senator Chris Coolman, Senator John Federman, Senator Alex Padilla, Senator Chuck Schumer or Senator Bernie Sanders. And there have been others in the House. A long list of, we believe, incredibly supportive, supportive congressional members. The county medical examiner in Portland, Oregon will investigate the possible heat-related deaths of four people. National Weather Service meteorologist Hannah Chandler Cooley says Oregon's most populous city broke daily record temperatures on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. And we're seeing record-breaking daily high temperatures as well as pretty warm overnight lows. The county has been operating three-day time cooling centers with the aim of providing relief to those most vulnerable to heat-related illness, like people living outside, older people, people with disabilities, and people whose homes don't have air conditioning. I'm Haya Panjwani. At least two deaths are reported in Houston from Hurricane, now Tropical Storm Barrel. Houston Mayor John Whitmire is telling people to shelter in place.

The company Hatch says the recall has nothing to do. With its rest, first-generation sound machines, the machines are fine. It's the AC power adapter that came with some of the units. The plastic can come off when pulling the cord out of an outlet, posing a shock hazard from exposed prongs. The Consumer Product Safety Commission says there are two reports of people getting shocked. In about 20 complaints of the plastic coming off, Hatch says it will provide a free replacement power adapter. There's more information on its website about the units affected. I'm Jackie Quinn.
