Biden wants people to know most of the money he's seeking for Ukraine would be spent in the US

Susan Wright, GOP activist and wife of late U.S. Rep. Ron Wright, moving toward campaign to replace him
Ron Wright died earlier this month after living for years with cancer and testing positive for coronavirus in January. Greg Abbott has not scheduled the special election yet, but it is likely to happen May 1 or sooner. Still, Gooden said Susan Wright would "out-hustle anybody, and she's also not going to think it's her seat." Ron Wright, the former Tarrant County tax assessor-collector, was first elected in 2018 and easily won a second term in November. It remains to be seen whether national Democrats will make a serious push in the special election.
