Wesley Hunt, a Republican, is likely to win his House race in Texas.Christian K Lee for The New York Times 5. Republicans are fielding an unusually diverse group of House candidates, even as some of the party’s white lawmakers have ratcheted up racist language.

The candidates are hoping a good outcome in November’s elections will challenge the notion that Republicans are a party of white voters. Yet as Election Day approaches, some of the party’s white lawmakers have turned to racist language or attacks — a sign that some party leaders remain uninterested in diversity. In other midterm election news, New York has emerged as perhaps the most consequential congressional battleground in the country.

Healthcare facilities make more money from adult patients, who typically require more tests and intricate procedures, than they do from children. So as hospitals look to boost profits amid the pandemic, pediatrics is often among the first services to be cut. Those choices have left many children without easy access to care, especially in rural areas. My colleague Emily Baumgaertner talked to the family of Lachlan Rutledge, who at 6 years old has a connective tissue disorder, severe allergies and asthma but has found it difficult to find pediatric care in northeast Oklahoma.
