Kamala Harris is picking up new endorsements − from Republicans. The world is getting hotter, and the heat is getting deadlier. And after a swipe from Hurricane Hone, Hawaii faces a second storm.
👋 Hey, Monday! Laura Davis here. Hope you had a good weekend! Now, let’s get caught up with the news, shall we?
More than 200 Republicans who worked for either former President George W. Bush, the late Sen. John McCain or Sen. Mitt Romney endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for president in an open letter Monday obtained exclusively by USA TODAY. The letter from alums of the three Republican presidential nominees before former President Donald Trump comes on the heels of a Democratic National Convention last week in Chicago that showcased Trump's Republican detractors. At least five former aides to former President George H.W. Bush also signed the letter, which has 238 signatures in all. ✍️ Here's everything we know.

As the planet gets warmer, heat-related deaths are increasing in the U.S., according to a new study that looked at federally reported data since 1999.

Last year was also the globe's hottest year on record, the latest alarming milestone in a warming trend fueled by climate change. 🔎 More findings from the study.
