News Wrap: Former VP Mike Pence ends his 2024 presidential campaign

In Maine law enforcement officials said it was on the third search of a recycling center Friday that they discovered the body of Robert Card the suspect in the massacre of 18 people and wounding of 13. He died of an apparently self-inflicted gunshot wound. Two weapons were found with the body and a long gun was found in his vehicle.

The official said it was his family who first called police to identify him. And while authorities are searching for a motive, they said there is clearly a mental health connection.

Former Vice President Mike Pence has dropped out of the race for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination. His campaign has been struggling with mounting debts and dwindling cash. He's the first major Republican candidate to quit the race which is dominated by Pence's former boss, former President Donald Trump. The death toll on Mexico's pacific coast from category five hurricane Otis has risen to at least 39 people. It could go even higher as search efforts expand.

The storm intensified so rapidly that officials made few preparations before the storm came ashore on Wednesday. Aid has been slow to arrive and Acapulco is still without electricity, water and gasoline.

And two down one to go. The United Auto Workers Union and Stellantis reached a tentative agreement today that could end a six-week strike. The deal follows the pattern set by the agreement reached Wednesday with Ford. Meanwhile, talks continue with General Motors.
