moments ago after exiting church in rehoboth, delaware president biden gave this update on the situation gaza strip. >> i'm not sure the exact number. they haven't put them out yet. in the meantime they want to identify the bodies. a lot of speculation on who they are. the names. i'm not at liberty to do that at this moment. it's time for this war to end. we should end this war. i think we're on the verge of having an agreement. it's just time to end it. >> we'll have more as the story develops. there's a new voter suppression effort in the state of nebraska, and soon nebraska's supreme court is going to weigh in on republicans' latest attempt to restrict ballot access in that very state. now, earlier this year nebraskan lawmakers made headlines for passing a bill to restore the voting rights of those who completed their sentences following felony convictions. but nebraska's secretary of state and several other top officials were against it, even go as far to direct county officials to stop registering people convicted of felonies to vote if they hadn't been pardoned. now, it's crucial t
