WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. health officials have traced a food poisoning outbreak from romaine lettuce to at least one farm in central California.But they cautioned Thursday that other farms are likely involved in the E. coli outbreak and consumers should continue checking the label before purchasing romaine lettuce. Bros.The Food and Drug Administration said 59 people in 15 states have now been sickened by the tainted lettuce. That's seven more cases than previously reported, but regulators said they are fairly confident that the lettuce which first triggered the outbreak has been removed from the market. The FDA told consumers to avoid romaine lettuce just before Thanksgiving.Officials said a water reservoir at Adam Bros. Farms in Santa Barbara County tested positive for the bacterial strain and the owners are cooperating with U.S. officials. Officials from the FDA and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have not determined how the water reservoir — which is used to irrigate lettuce — became contaminated.The bacteria can get into water and soil through multiple routes, including waste from domesticated animals or wild animals, fertilizer and other agricultural products.The FDA's Dr. Stephen Ostroff said investigators have linked the tainted lettuce to multiple distributors and processors, suggesting it must have come from several farms.A man who answered the phone at Adam Bros. Farms said he could not comment on the government announcement. According to the company's website, it only grows vegetables products, including broccoli, cauliflower, celery and various types of lettuce.The government also narrowed the source of the outbreak to three California counties: Santa Barbara, Monterey and San Benito. That's down from six California counties under investigation when regulators began warning the public last month.Regulators said people should only buy lettuce with a label listing where and when it was harvested. Lettuce from outside the three California counties that was harvested after November 23 should be safe to eat.Romaine harvesting recently began shifting from California's Central Coast to winter growing areas, primarily Arizona, Florida, Mexico and California's Imperial Valley. Those winter regions weren't yet shipping when the illnesses began.E. coli, the bacteria often associated with food poisoning, usually causes sickness two to eight days later, according to health authorities. Most people with the infection get diarrhea and abdominal cramps. Some cases can be life-threatening, causing kidney failure and seizures.___This version corrects spelling of Adam Bros. Farms, not Adams. 2653

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Republican-led Senate is expected to move quickly toward a confirmation vote for President Donald Trump’s nominee to replace the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell hasn’t yet said for certain whether a final vote will come before or after the Nov. 3 presidential election, just a little more than five weeks away, but Republicans are eyeing a vote in late October.Ginsburg’s Sept. 18 death put the Senate in uncharted political terrain. A confirmation vote so close to a presidential election would be unprecedented, creating significant political risk and uncertainty for both parties. Early voting is underway in some states in the races for the White House and control of Congress.A look at the confirmation process and what we know and don’t know about what’s to come:WHO DID TRUMP PICK?Trump on Saturday nominated Judge Amy Coney Barrett of Indiana, whose three-year judicial record shows a clear and consistent conservative bent. She is a devout Catholic and mother of seven, who at age 48 would be the youngest justice on the current court if confirmed.WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?It is up to the Senate Judiciary Committee to vet the nominee and hold confirmation hearings. The FBI also conducts a background check. Once the committee approves the nomination, it goes to the Senate floor for a final vote.Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, who faces his own tough reelection contest, has said he will move quickly on Trump’s pick. The nominee traditionally meets with individual senators before the confirmation hearings begin.WHEN WILL THE HEARINGS START?Graham has not yet announced a timetable. But if Republicans are able to complete all of the necessary paperwork and Barrett quickly meets senators, three or four days of hearings could start the first or second week of October.WILL THERE BE A VOTE BEFORE THE ELECTION?Republicans are privately aiming to vote before the election while acknowledging the tight timeline and saying they will see how the hearings go. McConnell has been careful not to say when he believes the final confirmation vote will happen, other than “this year.”Senate Republicans are mindful of their last confirmation fight in 2018, when Christine Blasey Ford’s allegations of a teenage sexual assault almost derailed Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination. The process took longer than expected after Republicans agreed to allow Blasey Ford to testify. Kavanaugh, who denied the allegations, was eventually confirmed in a 50-48 vote.DOES THE SENATE HAVE ENOUGH VOTES TO MOVE FORWARD AND CONFIRM?McConnell does appear to have the votes, for now. Republicans control the Senate by a 53-47 margin, meaning he could lose up to three Republican votes and still confirm a justice, if Vice President Mike Pence were to break a 50-50 tie.At this point, McConnell seems to have lost the support of two Republicans — Maine Sen. Susan Collins and Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski, both of whom have said they don’t think the Senate should take up the nomination before the election. Collins has said the next president should decide the nominee, and she will vote “no” on Trump’s nominee on principle.CAN THE DEMOCRATS STOP THE VOTE?There isn’t much they can do. Republicans are in charge and make the rules, and they appear to have the votes for Trump’s nominee, at least for now. Democrats have vowed to oppose the nomination, and they are likely to use an assortment of delaying tactics. None of those efforts can stop the nomination, however.But Democrats will also make the case against Barrett’s nomination to voters as the confirmation battle stretches into the final weeks — and maybe even the final days — of the election. They say health care protections and abortion rights are on the line, and argue the Republicans’ vow to move forward is “hypocrisy” after McConnell refused to consider President Barack Obama’s nominee, Judge Merrick Garland, several months before the 2016 election.HOW DOES THE CAMPAIGN FACTOR IN?Republicans are defending 25 of the 38 Senate seats that are on the ballot this year, and many of their vulnerable members were eager to end the fall session and return home to campaign. The Senate was originally scheduled to recess in mid-October, but that now looks unlikely.While some senators up for reelection, like Collins, have opposed an immediate vote, others are using it to bolster their standing with conservatives. Several GOP senators in competitive races this year — including Cory Gardner in Colorado, Martha McSally in Arizona, Kelly Loeffler in Georgia and Thom Tillis in North Carolina — quickly rallied to Trump, calling for swift voting.HOW LONG DOES IT USUALLY TAKE TO CONFIRM A SUPREME COURT JUSTICE?Supreme Court nominations have taken around 70 days to move through the Senate, though the last, of Kavanaugh, took longer, and others have taken less time. The election is fewer than 40 days away.COULD THE SENATE FILL THE VACANCY AFTER THE ELECTION?Yes. Republicans could still vote on Barrett in what’s known as the lame-duck session that takes place after the November election and before the next Congress takes office on Jan. 3. No matter what happens in this year’s election, Republicans are still expected to be in charge of the Senate during that period.The Senate would have until Jan. 20, the date of the presidential inauguration, to act on Barrett. If Trump were reelected and she had not been confirmed by the inauguration, he could renominate her as soon as his second term began.DIDN’T MCCONNELL SAY IN 2016 THAT THE SENATE SHOULDN’T HOLD SUPREME COURT VOTES IN A PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION YEAR?He did. McConnell stunned Washington in the hours after the death of Justice Antonin Scalia in February 2016 when he announced the Senate would not vote on Obama’s potential nominee because the voters should have their say by electing the next president.McConnell’s strategy paid off, royally, for his party. Obama nominated Garland to fill the seat, but he never received a hearing or a vote. Soon after his inauguration, Trump nominated Neil Gorsuch to fill Scalia’s seat.SO WHAT HAS CHANGED SINCE 2016?McConnell says it’s different this time because the Senate and the presidency are held by the same party, which was not the case when a vacancy opened under Obama in 2016. It was a rationale McConnell repeated frequently during the 2016 fight, and other Republican senators have invoked it this year when supporting a vote on Trump’s nominee.Democrats say this reasoning is laughable and the vacancy should be kept open until after the inauguration. 6630

Wednesday marked the first and only debate between vice presidential candidates Mike Pence and Kamala Harris.A number of questions were avoided by the candidates from moderator Susan Page. But the debate had a different tone and tenor than last week’s debate between Donald Trump and Joe Biden.1) Debate takes a different toneTempers largely were held in check and personal attacks were kept to a minimum during Wednesday’s debate, unlike last week’s presidential debate. Page took a much different approach than Chris Wallace, who moderated last week’s presidential debate.While Page reminded the candidates of the rules during the middle of the debate, much like Wallace last week, the debate largely remained civil. Were there still interruptions? Yes.At several points, Harris responded to a few interruptions of Pence by quipping “I’m speaking.” Pence at times accused Harris of not telling the truth by saying she can speak her opinion but not her own facts.2) CoronavirusIt came as no surprise that the most combative topic of the debate was on the coronavirus. And as part of the visuals of Wednesday’s debate, two Plexiglas shields stood between Harris and Pence, a reminder of the number of coronavirus cases spreading through White House staff.Harris took an early jab on Trump and Pence on their handling of the coronavirus. Pence headed the White House’s coronavirus task force."Well, the American people have witnessed what is the greatest failure of any presidential administration in the history of our country,” Harris said. Pence fired back, claiming that Harris was sowing doubt on the efficacy a potential coronavirus vaccine. Harris said she’d take a coronavirus vaccine if recommend by health officials, but not if it is recommend by Trump.“The fact that you continue to undermine public confidence in a vaccine, if the vaccine emerges during the Trump administration, I think is unconscionable,” Pence said. “And senator, I just ask you, stop playing politics with people's lives."Trump has suggested he would intervene on FDA guidelines on issuing an emergency use authorization on a coronavirus vaccine, but on Tuesday, the FDA moved forward with its vaccine guidelines, which will likely push a vaccine approval until after the election. 3) Issues of raceWednesday’s debate was notable as Harris became the first minority candidate to participate in a vice presidential debate. During the debate, the topic of race came up.Pence and Harris were asked to address whether justice was served in the Breonna Taylor case. Taylor was a 26-year-old Black woman who was killed in March by officer gun fire. Officers were executing a warrant when Taylor’s boyfriend fired at officers, prompting officers to return fire. There are questions on whether officers announced themselves before entering the apartment. A Kentucky grand jury declined to press charges on officers for firing at Taylor. One of the officers involved is facing criminal charges for wanton endangerment.Harris said that she believed justice was not served in the Taylor case.“Her family deserves justice,” Harris said. “She was a beautiful young woman. She had as her life goal to become a nurse and she wanted to become an EMT to first learn what is going on the street so she could become a nurse and save lives. Her life was taken unjustifiably and tragically and violently.”Pence offered his condolences to Taylor’s family, but disagreed with Harris.“Well, our heart breaks for the loss of any innocent American life and the family of Breonna Taylor has our sympathies, but I trust our justice system, a grand jury that reviews the evidence,” Pence said. “It really is remarkable that as a former prosecutor, you would assume an impaneled grand jury looking at all of the evidence got it wrong.”Pence then pivoted to decrying “rioting and looting” that took place in response to incidents of Black Americans being killed during interactions with police.“This presumption that you hear consistently from Joe Biden and Kamala Harris that America is systematically racist and that Biden says that law enforcement has an implicit minorities is a great insult to the men and women who serve in law enforcement,” Pence said.4) Harris, Pence dodge Supreme Court questionsHarris, like Biden last week, opted to avoid answering whether a Biden administration would add members to the Supreme Court. Some Senate Democrats have suggested adding members to the high court if Democrats win both the Senate and White House in November.“This is a classic case of if you can’t play by the rules, you’re going to change the rules,” Pence said.Meanwhile, Pence was asked whether he would be supportive of a full restriction of abortion in his home state of Indiana. He avoided that question.There is renewed hope among conservatives that a sixth Republican-appointed justice would overturn Roe vs. Wade, allowing states to implement laws to significantly curtail legal abortions.While Harris did not answer the question on expanding the size of the Supreme Court, she did hit back on any unraveling of Roe vs. Wade."We have the issue of choice, I will always fight for a woman's right to make decisions about her own body, it should be her decision, and not that of President Trump's or Vice President Mike Pence,” Harris said. 5) Will next week’s presidential debate move forward? With Trump at the White House recovering from the coronavirus, it is questionable on whether next week’s debate will move forward. And if it does move forward, what changes might be made. Following last week’s debate, the Commission on Presidential Debates said it was considering changes given the frequent interruptions between candidates. Just about 48 hours after last week’s debate ended, Trump announced he tested positive for the coronavirus. With two weeks separating Trump announcing his diagnosis and next Thursday’s debate, Trump will have cleared the CDC’s recommended isolation period of 10 days. Trump has also said he is looking forward to next week’s debate.The next presidential debate is scheduled for October 15 at 9 p.m. ET. 6108
