Arkansans are making waves in national politics, with the state’s delegation at the Democratic National Convention unanimously endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris as their party’s presidential nominee. This comes after President Joe Biden’s decision to drop out of the race, clearing the way for Harris to potentially face former President Donald Trump in November. Additionally, Arkansas lawmakers have shown support for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu following his address to Congress, despite protests outside the U.S. Capitol over Israel’s tactics in its conflict with Hamas.
In other news, the U.S. House of Representatives has approved a resolution setting Sept. 24 as the date for the unveiling of a statue of Johnny Cash on Capitol Hill. However, Congress will be on its annual August recess, returning with limited time to address pressing issues such as the Water Resources Development Act, which authorizes important projects under the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
