'Always there to cheer you on': NJ state trooper who died during exercise training laid to rest

Chrysler is recalling more than 211,000 vehicles in the United States over a software malfunction. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says the malfunction could result in the anti-lock brake system control module disabling the electronic stability control system, which can increase the risk of a crash.

The recall affects certain 2022 Dodge Durango models and Ram 2500 and 3500 models. Those with a recalled vehicle can bring it to their dealer, where they will update the software free of charge.

Chrysler recalls 211,000 vehicles due to software malfunction

KYW Special Contributor Larry Kane reports that changes are developing in important campaign strategy. These happenings come from insiders in both the Joe Biden and Donald Trump campaigns in Pennsylvania.

First, former President Trump has made a switch. You might say he's put a stamp on it. After spending over three years blaming mail-in voting for his disproven claim that the 2020 election was stolen, Trump and his advisers have embraced it. They're all in. After all, the Democrats in Pennsylvania, especially, have turned mail-in voting into big wins, like the Josh Shapiro landslide two years ago for governor.

Meanwhile, it is still too early to gauge the impact of the Trump felony convictions on the general election — though, some down-ballot election results offer a clue. Trump-backed congressional primary candidates have lost in four states, including New Jersey. And in central Pennsylvania, hard right Congressman Scott Perry whose district encompasses all of Dauphin County as well as parts of Cumberland County and York County, including  Harrisburg and York, is now facing a dead heat, according to surveys with Democrat Janelle Stelson, a former TV news anchor.

Another change in the landscape concerns the possible spoiler Robert Kennedy Jr. The Republican Party in Pennsylvania believes now that Kennedy, the anti-vax conspiracy spreader, may be more of a problem for Donald Trump than Joe Biden. Democrats don't agree but, especially in Pennsylvania and Michigan, efforts by both are underway to take him down.
