What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Charles Booker, the Democratic U.S. Senate nominee, campaigned in Kentucky against Republican Andy Barr. Separately, President Donald Trump froze federal grants to several universities last year, citing issues with student protection and DEI programs. A federal judge later ruled the funding freeze unconstitutional, allowing Harvard to regain its funds.
