"Maryland Governor Larry Hogan, a moderate Republican popular among critics of President Trump, said he won't challenge President Trump in the 2020 primaries. Hogan's decision is a blow to anti-Trump Republicans who have courted him to run.

"I'm not going to be a candidate for president in 2020," Hogan said in an interview with the Washington Post on Saturday. Hogan has spent significant time in battleground campaign states, such as New Hampshire, often publicly criticizing the president."

"As states across the US pass laws restricting access to abortion, Illinois passed legislation declaring a pregnant person has a “fundamental right” to terminate their pregnancy and stating that a “fertilized egg, embryo, or fetus does not have independent rights.”

The new legislation, passed Friday, repeals a 1975 state law that required spousal consent, waiting periods, placed restrictions on abortion facilities, and outlined procedures for pursuing criminal charges abortion providers. The bill also rolls back some state restrictions on late-term abortions by repealing Illinois’ Partial Birth Abortion Ban Act, the Chicago Tribune reported. Many provisions in the two newly negated laws had not been enforced due to court injunctions, according to the paper."

China will not concede on issues of principle, it added."
