TODAY WILL BE DAY FIVE. WE’RE GOING FOR A HIGH OF 96. THE RECORD IS 98 TOMORROW. ALSO MID-NINETIES. THE RECORD STANDS AT 97. WE DO IT ONE MORE DAY ON SUNDAY, THEN LOOK AT MONDAY. A BREAK, A BREAK FROM THE HEAT AND HUMIDITY. THAT IS THE GOOD NEWS. SO WE WON’T BE TALKING ABOUT 90S TO START NEXT WEEK, BUT THERE’S STILL SOME 90S IN MY TEN DAY. I’LL SHOW YOU THAT COMING UP. ALL RIGHT. AND IN TERMS OF TRAFFIC, I’LL GIVE YOU A CHECK ON THOSE BELTWAY SPEEDS COMING UP, A NEW CITIZENSHIP PROPOSAL FROM FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP. I’M JACKIE DEFUSCO IN WASHINGTON, WHERE IMMIGRATION IS IN FOCUS IN THE PRESIDENTIAL RACE. AND AT 633, PEOPLE NOW HURT IN NEVADA AFTER A POLICE OFFICER’S GUN ACCIDENTALLY GOES OFF. WE’LL TELL YOU HOW IT HAPPENED. AND RIGHT NOW, AT 611, TAKING A LOOK OVER OUR HERSHEY SKY CAM THE NEWS EIGHT TODAY WAKE UP CALL IS UP NEXT FROM CAMP HILL, CUMBERLAND COUNTY. NEWS EIGHT, SPONSORED BY YMOUR AND FLANIGAN FURNITURE. WE ARE WITH THE AMERICAN HEART ASSOCIATION AT THE ANNUAL CAPITAL REGION GO RED FOR WOMEN EVENT IN CAMP HILL. THIS YEAR, WE ARE CELEBRATING TWO BIG MILESTONES 100 YEARS OF THE AMERICAN HEART ASSOCIATION AND 20 YEARS OF ITS GO RED FOR WOMEN MOVEMENT. VISIT GO RED FOR WOMEN ORG TO LEARN MORE ABOUT HOW WE ARE EMPOWERING WOMEN TO TAKE CHARGE OF THEIR HEART HEALTH. GOOD MORNING NEWS 8. TODAY. WOO! WHAT A BEAUTIFUL WAKE UP CALL THERE RIGHT? THAT’S MISS PENNSYLVANIA MIRANDA MOORE ALONGSIDE THIS YEAR’S WOMEN OF IMPACT NOMINEES AT THE GO RED FOR WOMEN EVENT LAST MONTH IN CAMP HILL, THEY HELPED RAISE MORE THAN $36,000 FOR THE GO RED FOR WOMEN MOVEMENT AND TODAY, THIS AFTERNOON, I’M SEEING A SIMILAR GO RED FOR WOMEN LUNCHEON THAT’S GOING TO BE AT BRICK GABLES IN LITITZ, LANCASTER COUNTY. BUT WE’VE GOT OUR RED ON TODAY. YOU KNOW, HOPING TO SUPPORT THE CAUSE AND RAISE MONEY. THEY DID SAY THAT. I THINK THEY SAID HEART DISEASE KILLS MORE WOMEN THAN ALL CANCERS COMBINED. SO IT’S AN IMPORTANT CAUSE. ABSOLUTELY. SO WE’LL LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU THERE THIS AFTERNOON. AND HOPEFULLY IT’S NICE AND AIR CONDITIONED INSIDE BECAUSE WE ARE GOING TO BE SWELTERING AGAIN TODAY. THIS IS DAY FIVE OF THE HEAT. NOW WE ONLY HAVE TWO MORE TO GO BECAUSE I THINK A COLD FRONT IS GOING TO COME THROUGH ON MONDAY MORNING, AND THAT’S GOING TO HELP TO ALLEVIATE THE HEAT TEMPORARILY FOR US ON MONDAY. SO IT’S GOING TO BE HOT THROUGH THE WEEKEND. FEELS LIKE 100 DEGREES AT TIMES. THE HEAT ADVISORY IS STILL IN EFFECT. SO THAT’S WHY WE HAVE IMPACTS TODAY, TOMORROW, EVEN SUNDAY. BUT THE GOOD NEWS IS CHANCES FOR STORMS RETURN. SO THEY’RE NOT GOING TO BE WIDESPREAD. THEY’RE GOING TO BE HIT OR MISS REALLY ISOLATED TODAY. AND TOMORROW. BUT AT LEAST WE HAVE THAT CHANCE BACK IN THE FORECAST TODAY. OUR NEWS EIGHT STORM TEAM FORECAST STARTS OUT SUNNY, WARM AND MUGGY BY 9:00. WE’RE ALREADY IN THE 80S WARMING QUICKLY FOR THE AFTERNOON. WE GO FOR 96, WHICH IS TWO DEGREES SHY OF THE RECORD AT. AND IT’S GOING TO FEEL LIKE THE UPPER 90S TO NEAR 100. SO THAT’S WHY WE HAVE THE IMPACTS THIS AFTERNOON AND THIS EVENING. FOR TONIGHT WE DROP DOWN INTO THE MID 70S IN MOST SPOTS. LOWER 70S AND OUTLYING AREAS. PARTLY CLOUDY, WARM AND MUGGY. AND THEN FOR TOMORROW, ANOTHER SCORCHER, ANOTHER IMPACT DAY. YES, ANOTHER HEAT ADVISORY IN EFFECT. AND THAT GOES FROM NOON UNTIL 8 P.M. EVERY DAY. SO 94 TO 98 FOR OUR TEMPERATURE RANGE TOMORROW. YEAH. REAL SUMMER SIZZLER THERE FOR SURE. TAKING A LIVE LOOK IN LEBANON. NOTHING BUT SUNSHINE THIS MORNING. CURRENT TEMPERATURES ARE WARM, BUT THIS IS THE COOLEST PART OF THE DAY. 66 IN LEBANON, 67. IN LANCASTER WE HAVE 75. IN HARRISBURG WITH 72. IN FRANKLIN COUNTY. TODAY, AS DEW POINTS HOVER IN THE MID 60S, EVEN UPPER 60S, AT TIMES WE’LL CALL IT STEAMY ALONG WITH THOSE MID 90 DEGREE HIGHS TOMORROW. SO A STEAMY SUNDAY IS STEAMY. BUT LOOK AT THE BREAK MONDAY. HUMIDITY DROPS. DEW POINTS WILL BE IN THE LOWER 60S. THAT IS A BREAK FOR US AND TEMPERATURES WILL BE IN THE UPPER 80S. HERE’S OUR WEATHER AND HEALTH UPDATE TODAY. MODERATE GRASS POLLEN, HIGH MOLD SPORES AND LOOK AT THE AIR QUALITY IT IS POOR TODAY, SO CODE ORANGE UNHEALTHY FOR SENSITIVE GROUPS, CHILDREN, THE ELDERLY, FOLKS WITH HEART OR RESPIRATORY CONDITIONS MIGHT WANT TO LIMIT YOUR STRENUOUS ACTIVITY OUTDOORS AS STORM TEAM, LIVE RADAR NETWORK. NOTHING TO SEE HERE YET AGAIN, NOT A DROP OF RAIN FOR HUNDREDS OF MILES. EVIDENCE OF THAT BIG HEAT DOME THAT HAS BEEN OVERHEAD ALL WEEK. NOW TODAY THERE IS AN ISOLATED CHANCE FOR A FEW SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. IF YOU ARE LUCKY ENOUGH TO SEE ONE, THEY COULD CONTAIN SOME GUSTY WINDS AS WELL AS SOME HAIL AND DEFINITELY SOME BRIEF HEAVY RAINFALL. SO HEAVY RAIN SEEMS TO BE THE BIGGEST THREAT OUT OF THESE STORMS TODAY. HERE’S HIGH PRESSURE TRYING TO MOVE EAST. THERE’S YOUR ISOLATED STORM CHANCES TODAY, MAINLY NORTH AND WEST. AS WE HEAD INTO TONIGHT AND TOMORROW. IT IS A DRY START, BUT THEN THERE COULD BE AN ISOLATED SHOWER OR THUNDERSTORM AGAIN TOMORROW AFTERNOON. NOT A GUARANTEE, JUST AN ISOLATED CHANCE. AS WE HEAD INTO SUNDAY, A SLIGHTLY BETTER CHANCE FOR A FEW SHOWERS AND STORMS AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT. SO SUNDAY SEEMS TO BE THE BEST BET OF THE WEEKEND. IF YOU ARE LUCKY ENOUGH TO GET ONE OF THOSE STORMS OVER YOUR HOUSE. TEN DAY FORECAST. HERE WE HAVE 88 ON MONDAY. A BIT OF A BREAK, BUT BACK TO 90 TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY. WE DROP DOWN BEHIND A COLD FRONT. THURSDAY, BACK INTO THE 80S. AT THE END OF THE WEEK AND FOR THE UPCOMING START OF THE WEEKEND. BUT I DO SEE HEAT BUILDING ONCE AGAIN FOR THAT LAST WEEKEND IN JUNE. LET’S GO TO OUR ROADS NOW AND GABRIEL THOMAS. GOOD MORNING. GOOD MORNING CHRISTINE. GOOD MORNING EVERYONE. HAPPY FRIDAY. SO FAR SO GOOD. ACROSS THE SUSQUEHANNA VALLEY THIS MORNING I DO WANT YOU TO TAKE A LOOK AT MY SCREEN AT THESE TWO ICONS THOUGH. THERE ARE CRASHES. I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT. BUT IT’S SOME ACTIVITY GOING ON IN CUMBERLAND COUNTY AND DAUPHIN COUNTY. THERE’S A LANE BLOCKED DUE TO A POLICE INCIDENT IN I-81. ONE NORTHBOUND AFTER EXIT 40, A PA 74 YORK ROAD. AS YOU CAN SEE HERE, THERE’S ALL IN THE GREEN HERE, SOME YELLOW, A LITTLE BIT OF RED RED, BUT NOT TOO MUCH. THAT WILL SLOW DOWN YOUR MORNING COMMUTE. NOW THAT SECOND INCIDENT IS GOING ON RIGHT NOW IN DAUPHIN COUNTY, THERE’S A LANE BLOCKED DUE TO A STALLED VEHICLE ON I-83. THIS IS JOHN HARRIS BRIDGE SOUTHBOUND AFTER EXIT 43 SECOND STREET. AS YOU CAN SEE HERE ON MY MAP, A LOT OF GREEN GOING ON, SO IT SHOULDN’T SLOW DOWN YOUR MORNING COMMUTE AT ALL. I WANT TO GIVE YOU A LOOK AT THAT PENNDOT CAMERA. OH LOOK, HERE’S SOME SPEEDS FOR YOU REALLY QUICK I-81 NORTHBOUND. THIS IS BELTWAY SPEEDS TO BE EXACT 65MPH. AND THEN I-83 SOUTHBOUND, 64MPH. LOOKS LIKE WE’RE HAVING SOME MORE TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES WITH OUR PENNDOT CAMERA, SO I’LL CHECK ON THAT FOR YOU AS WELL. HERE’S SOME DRIVE TIMES FOR 22 WESTBOUND OVER TO HERSHEY, SEVEN MINUTES FOR 22 WESTBOUND HERSHEY. HUMMELSTOWN SIX MINUTES AND THEN 322 WESTBOUND HUMMELSTOWN TO HARRISBURG A SOLID NINE MINUTES DRIVE SAFE OUT THERE, GUYS. THIS HAS BEEN A LANCASTER TOYOTA TRAFFIC REPORT FOR YOU WERE UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS ARE CROSSING THE SOUTHERN BORDER. NEW NUMBERS PUBLISHED BY U.S. CUSTOMS AND BORDER PROTECTION SHOW THAT DURING THE MONTH OF MAY, THERE WAS A 9% DECREASE IN BORDER CROSSINGS FROM APRIL. BORDER PATROL AGENTS HAD JUST OVER 117,000 ENCOUNTERS WITH UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS CROSSING THE SOUTHERN BORDER ILLEGALLY. MEXICO HAS STOPPED NEARLY THREE TIMES AS MANY MIGRANTS INSIDE THAT COUNTRY AS IT DID A YEAR AGO. AND THIS ALL COMES AS FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP IS PROPOSING A NEW PATH TO CITIZENSHIP FOR FOREIGN COLLEGE STUDENTS. AND IT COMES ON THE HEELS OF A NEW, NEW EXECUTIVE ORDER FROM PRESIDENT BIDEN, FOCUSED ALSO ON IMMIGRATION. NEWS EIGHT’S JACKIE DEFUSCO IS IN OUR WASHINGTON BUREAU WITH THE NEW POLICIES THAT THOSE CANDIDATES ARE PITCHING TO VOTERS. YEAH, FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP SAYS THAT HE WANTS TO GIVE AUTOMATIC GREEN CARDS TO FOREIGN STUDENTS WHO GRADUATE FROM COLLEGES HERE IN THE UNITED STATES. THE PROPOSAL, OUTLINED IN A NEWLY RELEASED PODCAST INTERVIEW, WOULD CREATE A PATHWAY TO CITIZENSHIP FOR POTENTIALLY HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF STUDENTS. IT’S IN CONTRAST TO TRUMP’S USUAL CAMPAIGN RHETORIC, AS HE CONTINUES TO CALL FOR THE LARGEST DEPORTATION OPERATION IN U.S. HISTORY AND CRITICIZED PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN’S NEW POLICIES. BIDEN ANNOUNCED JUST THIS WEEK A NEW EXECUTIVE ORDER THAT COULD IMPACT MORE THAN HALF A MILLION IMMIGRANTS WITHOUT LEGAL STATUS, ACCORDING TO ADMINISTRATION OFFICIALS. BIDEN SAYS IT WILL ALLOW THE SPOUSES OF CERTAIN U.S. CITIZENS TO APPLY FOR PERMANENT RESIDENCY AND EVENTUALLY CITIZENSHIP, WITHOUT HAVING TO LEAVE THE COUNTRY FIRST. THE ORDER COMES JUST TWO WEEKS AFTER BIDEN ANNOUNCED NEW RULES LIMITING ASYLUM CLAIMS AT THE U.S. MEXICO BORDER. AND SINCE THOSE NEW RULES TOOK EFFECT JUST EARLIER THIS MONTH, BORDER PATROL ARRESTS OF PEOPLE CROSSING ILLEGALLY INTO THE UNITED STATES HAVE DROPPED BY ROUGHLY 25%, ACCORDING TO PRELIMINARY GOVERNMENT DATA REPORTING IN WASHINGTON. I’M JACKIE DEFUSCO. IT’S 621. NEWS EIGHT TODAY CONTINUES WITH JEFF ROSSEN. I NEED MORTGAGE HELP. THE NEW INTERACTIVE MAP SHOWING YOU HOW MUCH YOU’LL PAY. BROKEN DOWN NEIGHBORHOOD TO NEIGHBORHOOD, DOWN TO YOUR EXACT HOUSE. HOW MUCH CAN YOU REALLY AFFORD? ROSSEN REPORTS SHOWING YOU HOW TO GET IT FOR FREE. LET’S GIVE YOU A LOOK AT YOUR 12 HOUR FORECAST TAKING YOU INTO DINNERTIME ON YOUR FRIDAY EVENING, AND EVEN THEN, IT’S GOING TO BE HOT. ON THEGREAT OFFER, AND HAVE A GREAT TIME IN YOUR DOWNTIME. GOOD MORNING! YOU’RE TAKING A LIVE LOOK HERE OVER HARRISBURG. YOU CAN SEE NICE BLUE SKY THIS MORNING. SOME HIGH CLOUDS OUT THERE, A LITTLE HAZE ON THE HORIZON. IT’S GOING TO BE ANOTHER SCORCHER FOR US. WE’RE GOING FOR HIGHS IN THE MID 90S. TODAY. WE HAVE THE CONSISTENTLY BEEN IN THE 90S SINCE MONDAY. SO THIS IS DAY FIVE OF OUR HEAT WAVE. AND TWO MORE TO GO INTO THE WEEKEND. I THINK THE HEAT HEAT FINALLY BREAKS ON MONDAY. CURRENTLY TEMPERATURES ARE IN THE 60S TO NEAR 70 DEGREES. COOL. THIS TIME OF THE DAY DOESN’T FEEL TOO TERRIBLE OUT THERE. DEW POINTS ARE IN THE MID 60S THOUGH, SO IT GIVES YOU THAT MUGGY FEEL IN THE MORNING. NEAR RECORD WARMTH. TODAY OUR FORECAST HIGH IS 96. THE RECORD STANDS AT 98 DEGREES. NOW WHEN YOU ADD THE HUMIDITY IT IS AN IMPACT DAY BECAUSE WE HAVE A HEAT ADVISOR FOR FEELS LIKE TEMPERATURES IN THE UPPER 90S TO NEAR 100. SO KEEP THAT IN MIND WHEN YOU’RE OUT THERE IN THE PEAK HEATING HOURS OF THE AFTERNOON. IF YOU HAVE TO WORK OUTDOORS, TAKE FREQUENT BREAKS, WEAR LIGHT COLORED, LOOSE FITTING CLOTHING, A HAT. DON’T FORGET THAT SUNBLOCK BACK TO YOU. IMPORTANT REMINDERS. THANKS, CHRISTINE. WELL, IN THE LAST FEW YEARS, INTEREST RATES ON NEW MORTGAGES HAVE RISEN SIGNIFICANTLY. BUT NOW THERE’S A NEW TOOL THAT CAN SHOW YOU JUST HOW MUCH MORTGAGE RATES COST IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD, HOW MUCH YOUR MORTGAGE WOULD BE. CHIEF NATIONAL CONSUMER CORRESPONDENT JEFF ROSSEN IS SHOWING US HOW IT WORKS. HI. YEAH, SO MANY OF YOU DON’T WANT TO SELL YOUR HOUSE RIGHT NOW BECAUSE YOU HAVE A LOWER MORTGAGE RATE THAN YOU CAN GET RIGHT NOW. IF YOU TRY TO BUY A NEW HOUSE. EVER WONDER WHAT THAT NEW MORTGAGE WOULD COST YOU? EVEN IN THE HOUSE YOU’RE CURRENTLY IN? NOW YOU CAN FIND OUT WITH THIS NEW INTERACTIVE MAP. IT COMES FROM OUR PARTNERS AT HEARST NEWSPAPERS AND THE SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE. IT SHOWS HOW MUCH YOU’D HAVE TO PAY IF YOU WANTED A MORTGAGE ON YOUR CURRENT HOUSE. TODAY. IT’S THAT SPECIFIC. IT’S REALLY COOL. LET ME SHOW YOU HOW IT WORKS. AND YOU CAN DO THIS WITH YOUR OWN NEIGHBORHOOD. IN PALM BEACH COUNTY, FLORIDA, HOMEOWNERS CURRENTLY IN A MORTGAGE TODAY ARE PAYING ABOUT 4.08%. IF THEY TRIED TO GET A NEW MORTGAGE RATE TODAY, IT WOULD BE 7.31%. THAT MEANS YOU’D HAVE TO PAY ABOUT $581 MORE EACH MONTH ON YOUR MORTGAGE. SACRAMENTO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA RIGHT NOW, PEOPLE ARE PAYING 3.72% IN THEIR MORTGAGES. IF THEY TRIED TO GET A NEW MORTGAGE TODAY IN THE SAME EXACT SPOT, IT WOULD BE 7.21%. ANOTHER $641 PER MONTH. I’M GOING TO SHARE THIS TOOL ON MY WEBSITE. ROSSEN REPORTS DOT COM. CHECK IT OUT. BACK TO YOU. IT’S 627 ON NEWS EIGHT. TODAY CONTINUES NEXT WITH JAKE REYES LIVE IN YORK. YOU CAN MAKE MUSIC YOURSELF TODAY IN YORK BECAUSE LET’S MAKE MUSIC TODAY. WE’LL TELL YOU WHY. THIS IS PART OF AN INTERNATIONAL EFFORT. SOUNDS GOOD. ALL RIGHT. LET’S GIVE YOU ANOTHER LOOK AT LAST NIGHT’S LOTTERY NUMBERS. HOPEFULLY THEY’RE LOOKING GOOD TO YOU.
RFK Jr.’s campaign files petitions to get on presidential ballot in swing-state Pennsylvania
Updated: 9:45 AM EDT Jun 21, 2024
Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. filed paperwork Thursday to get on the ballot for the November election in swing-state Pennsylvania, the state’s election office said.Video above: Headlines from WGAL News 8.Kennedy’s filing comes six weeks before the Aug. 1 deadline, after which the paperwork can be challenged in court.The campaigns of both President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump fear that Kennedy could play a spoiler role in what’s anticipated to be a close election, especially in Pennsylvania, the nation’s fifth-most populous state.To qualify for the ballot in Pennsylvania, Kennedy must file 5,000 signatures of registered voters.With its 19 electoral votes, Pennsylvania is a top-tier prize that has swung between the parties in the last two presidential elections. Both were closely contested: In 2016, Trump won Pennsylvania by 44,000 votes over Democrat Hillary Clinton, and four years later Biden beat Trump by 81,000 votes.Libertarian Jo Jorgensen was on the ballot in 2020 and collected just over 79,000 votes, while three minor-party candidates on the ballot in 2016 — the Libertarian Party’s Gary Johnson, the Green Party’s Jill Stein and the Constitution Party’s Darrell Castle — and got nearly 190,000 votes combined. Kennedy’s petitions could challenged in court by the two major parties, and both Trump’s and Biden’s campaigns have sought to portray him as an adversary. Legal challenges must be filed no later than Aug. 8. Kennedy, an environmental lawyer and prominent anti-vaccine activist, abandoned his Democratic primary challenge to Biden last year and began campaigning as an independent. Among the obstacles he faces is a requirement to secure ballot access state by state. That requires him to collect millions of signatures that must be verified by election officials before his candidacy is approved. Kennedy’s campaign has previously said he has satisfied the requirements to appear on the ballot in 22 states, with a combined 310 electoral votes, though not all have affirmed that his name will be listed.
