U.S. no longer requires pre-arrival testing
The U.S. no longer requires air passengers traveling from a foreign country to the U.S. to show a negative COVID-19 viral test or documentation of recovery from COVID-19 before they board their flight, regardless of vaccination status. Non-U.S. citizens and non-U.S. immigrants are still required to be fully vaccinated and prepare the Attestation, to enter.
A gun-toting Rep. Lauren Boebert celebrated defeating her opponent Sen. Don Coram in Tuesday’s primary in one of a number of key races, while Gov. Kathy Hochul notched a win, a Trump-backed farmer scored a nod for Illinois gov and a pro-choice Republican took nominee for Colorado Senate seat. Tuesday’s primaries in seven states saw three incumbents lose out; two Republicans and one Democrat. After defeating Sen Coram in Colorado, rightwing firebrand Boebert donned a cowboy hat and wore a pistol on her hip as she addressed the crowd at a party for her successful re-election bid for Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District on Tuesday (top). Meanwhile, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (bottom) easily won her state’s Democratic gubernatorial nomination on Tuesday. In Illinois, Democrats helped boost a Republican gubernatorial candidate loyal to former President Donald Trump, Darren Bailey (inset) in the hopes that he would be the easier candidate to beat in November. And in at least two states, election deniers were defeated, even as pro-Trump lightning rods elsewhere won.
