03:432020 election and for his role in the January 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol.
03:49Harris needs to win over Republicans and independents wary of Trump without alienating her base.
03:55She has taken a center-to-right leaning stance on several issues, including staunch support
03:59for Israel, a border policy tough on migrants, and an all-of-the-above energy strategy to
04:04keep fuel costs low.
04:06What is one of the states projected to decide the election?

04:31not guilty.
04:32Authorities say Sangha was an illicit supplier of the drug and was known as the Ketamine
04:36Queen.
04:37Authorities said Placencia purchased ketamine from Chavez.

04:44allegedly wrote, quote,
04:46I wonder how much this moron would pay.
04:48The pair are scheduled to go on trial in March.
04:51Perry died at the age of 54 in October 2023 from the acute effects of ketamine and other
04:56factors that caused him to lose consciousness and brown in his hot tub.
