WASHINGTON (AP) – Donald Trump’s presidential campaign could be dragging down the brand. Not just his own brand — but that of the Republican Party. That’s the indication of a new poll finding that a majority of Americans who were surveyed now view the GOP unfavorably. Two out of three said they view the party negatively. The new poll finds that 48 percent have a favorable view of the Democratic Party, while 50 percent have an unfavorable view.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 JERSEY CITY, N.J. (AP) – As he faces the increasing likelihood of a contested Republican convention, Donald Trump is expanding the role of veteran political operative Paul Manafort in his campaign. A statement says Manafort will “be responsible for all activities” involving the delegate process and the convention itself. The announcement comes as the candidate refocuses his efforts on his home state of New York. Trump has canceled a planned trip to California, including a press conference that had been scheduled for tomorrow.

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 BRUSSELS (AP) – He’s known as “the man in the hat” — and authorities in Brussels want to know a lot more about him. He was seen at the Brussels airport with two suicide bombers before they died in the March 22nd attacks. And photos released by prosecutors from surveillance cameras show him leaving the airport on foot, walking to a nearby town and then into Brussels. At some point, he discarded the white jacket he was wearing. Prosecutors are appealing for help from anyone who might have seen him, or who might know anything about him.

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 BERLIN (AP) – Bavarian police say they have arrested two men, an Iraqi and a Nigerian, on suspicion that they may have been preparing a “serious act of violence.” They say the two men were detained in Munich Thursday following a tip to security authorities. A newspaper (Sueddeutsche Zeitung) quotes a prosecutor as saying there had been indications that the two men were in contact with members of the Islamic State group.

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 INDIANAPOLIS (AP) – Indiana Gov. Mike Pence’s office says it has confidence that the state’s new abortion law is constitutional despite a court challenge from the American Civil Liberties Union and Planned Parenthood of Indiana and Kentucky. A spokeswoman says Pence will work with the state attorney general to defend the law, which bans abortions that are sought because of genetic abnormalities.
