Hurricane Beryl Hits Texas, Causes Power Outages

Hurricane Beryl made landfall early Monday near Matagorda, Texas, as a Category 1 storm with winds reaching 80 mph, causing widespread power outages and prompting evacuations. The storm is expected to bring dangerous storm surges, flash flooding, and possible tornadoes as it moves northward through Texas and into the Midwest. Meanwhile, President Joe Biden is hosting a pivotal NATO summit in Washington, D.C., to reinforce alliances amid growing calls from Democratic lawmakers for him to step aside from the 2024 presidential race. Four senior Democrats have already urged Biden not to seek re-election, citing concerns about his ability to win against former President Donald Trump. Despite these calls, Biden continues to focus on his international and domestic agendas, seeking to demonstrate robust leadership at the NATO summit.
