The Minnesota senator argues she is the best candidate to take on President Donald Trump in 2020 because she has a history of winning across her home state, including in Republican areas, by going to places where Democrats don&#8217;t typically campaign. Klobuchar wrapped up a four-day bus tour Monday that made stops in 27 counties. She will return Friday to complete the statewide tour with stops in three northwest Iowa counties<\/p>\n<p>LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) \u2014 An executive order by President Donald Trump giving governors the right to refuse to accept refugees is putting Republican governors in an uncomfortable position. They&#8217;re caught between immigration hardliners who want to shut the door and Christian evangelicals who want to welcome them. More than 30 governors have confirmed they will keep accepting refugees so far, but about a dozen Republican governors have stayed silent on the issue. Trump&#8217;s order requires governors to publicly say they&#8217;ll accept refugees or they cannot come to their states, even if cities and counties welcome them. No state has announced plans to shut out refugees entirely.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In TV Sports&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>MON DEC 23<\/p>\n<p>ESPN \u2013 CSi 14 &amp; CSi HD 84<\/p>\n<p>7:15PM<\/p>\n<p>PACKERS AT VIKINGS<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In world and national news&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>(AP)\u00a0 Boeing&#8217;s CEO is stepping down with no end in sight for a crisis that has enveloped the manufacturer and its marquee aircraft, the 737 Max. The Chicago company said Monday that Dennis Muilenburg will depart immediately. The board&#8217;s current chairman David Calhoun will become president and CEO on Jan. 13. Boeing&#8217;s Max has been grounded worldwide after two crashes _ one in October 2018 off the cost of Indonesia and another in March 2019 in Ethiopia _ which killed a combined total of 346 people. The company said the change in leadership is needed to restore confidence in Boeing.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>(AP) Forecasters say several roads were closed during the morning rush hour in downtown Charleston, South Carolina, as heavy rain soaked several southern states. The National Weather Service said before dawn Monday that Charleston was flooding due to a combination of coastal flooding and the effects of the heavy rains. Creeks and streams were on the rise there and across the South. Flash flood watches and warnings covered large parts of Georgia, Louisiana, Alabama and South Carolina. In Florida, the heavy rain and flooding delayed dozens of flights at the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport in Florida. By 6:30 a.m. Monday, flight operations were resuming.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) \u2014 Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell says he is not ruling out witnesses in President Donald Trump&#8217;s impeachment trial _ but indicated he was in no hurry to seek new testimony either. McConnell tells \u201cFox and Friends\u201d that he wants the Senate to adopt rules like those used in the 1999 Clinton impeachment trial, in which a few witnesses were only called after both sides presented their cases. But Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer, in a letter to all senators, argues that the circumstances in the Trump trial are different from that of Clinton. He was impeached after a lengthy independent counsel investigation in which witnesses had already testified numerous times under oath.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) \u2014 President Donald Trump will hold his first rally of 2020 in Ohio next month, potentially coinciding with the beginnings of the Senate impeachment trial. The Trump campaign announced Monday that he will speak at the \u201cKeep America Great\u201d rally in Toledo on Jan. 9. The Senate impeachment trial is expected to start that week, though it may be delayed as lawmakers argue over whether to call new witnesses. Ohio was once an extremely competitive swing state but has trended more Republican in recent years. Trump won by 8 percentage points in 2016 and a repeat victory is vital to his hopes for reelection in November.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>(AP)\u00a0 Joe Biden\u2019s presidential campaign is getting a boost from one of the leading Latinos in Congress. Rep. Tony C\u00e1rdenas of California endorsed the former vice president Monday as Democrats\u2019 best hope to defeat President Donald Trump. C\u00e1rdenas chairs Bold PAC, the political arm of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus. C\u00e1rdenas&#8217; announcement follows presidential candidate Bernie Sanders campaigning this weekend with progressive icon and New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. The dueling surrogates highlight Biden&#8217;s and Sanders&#8217; fierce battle for the Hispanic vote and their starkly differing approaches to the larger nominating fight. Biden is leaning heavily on his establishment connections and perceived strength against President Donald Trump.
