ROCK RAPIDS, Iowa (AP) — Ted Cruz is dismissing questions raised by fellow Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump about whether Cruz -- who was born in Canada -- is eligible to become president. Cruz was born in Calgary to an American mother and a Cuban father, and he renounced his Canadian citizenship in 2014. He says it is settled law that the child of a U.S. citizen born abroad is a natural born citizen.
CLAREMONT, N.H. (AP) — Some of Chris Christie's Republican rivals are apparently viewing the New Jersey governor as the candidate to beat in New Hampshire. Super PACs that are helping those rivals are spending a lot of money on anti-Christie advertising. Filings with federal election regulators show that Marco Rubio's backers recently put $1 million into those types of ads. A Jeb Bush super PAC features Christie in a new ad that promotes Bush as the best of the governors or former governors in the race. Christie has shown growing momentum in New Hampshire polls.
SAN ANTONIO (AP) — National leaders of the Bandidos biker gang have been indicted on charges accusing them of racketeering and waging deadly "war" on the rival Cossacks gang. The rivalry came under renewed attention in May, when a meeting of biker groups in Waco, Texas, ended in gunfire that left nine people dead.
MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore is once again suggesting that Alabama probate judges refuse to issue marriage licenses to gay couples. This, despite the U.S. Supreme Court ruling more than six months ago that effectively legalized same-sex marriage throughout the country. Moore issued an administrative order today saying the Alabama Supreme Court never lifted its directive to probate judges to refuse licenses to gay couples. But Moore stopped short of directly telling judges to refuse the licenses.
