Boy, oh, boy, its getting bumpy out there. First at 4, how you can make sure crews smooth out the potholes in your neighborhood. And new campaign controversy. What happened to a protester at one candidates rally thats raising a lot of questions this afternoon . First at 4. Wall street. The nra. Theyre powerful. They usually get their way. But not with democrat Donna Edwards. She wont take cash from wall street banks. And when washington insiders wrote a loophole to let the nra spend dark money to kill gun safety laws, Donna Edwards said no shes fighting to ban assault weapons and putting the safety of our communities first. Because to democrat Donna Edwards, the special interests arent special. Le for the content of this advertising. Its pothole season and if you live or drive in the district, now is the time to report the potholes youre seeing and hitting. Ddot is gearing up for the annual pothole pa lolooza. Go to the nbc washington app to learn how to report. Z dot h big changes could be coming to union station. These are live pictures of the station right now.

First at 4, the new campaign concerns for a republican front runner donald trump and what he just told nbc news thats already getting strong reaction from both sides of the aisle. And why it may not be your imagination. If driving in the dark is so difficult, which cars may nd better eehe narrator all that political mail mlets simplify. Lming. Only one candidate has been endorsed by the Washington PostKathleen Matthews. As a journalist and progressive leader at marriott, she has a broad and deep facility with policy.

Follow every pitch, every play and every win. Change the way you experience tv with x1 from xfinity. First at 4, Donald Trump Tells msnbc, quote, there has to be some form of punishment for abortion. The comment comes amid other controversy. Trump is blaming the reporter who was grabbed by his Campaign Manager. Trump told fox news today that the reporter shouldnt have been grabbing him. His Campaign Manager is now charged with battery and police in wisconsin are looking for a man who pepper sprayed a 15yol rally. The divide among republicans is only getting wider. Neither trump, ted cruz, or john kasich say they will definitely support the partys nominee, but all three said they would early in the race. Whurs troy johnson is here for our talk around town and were talking trump. When you hear from your listeners, are they of one mind when it comes to Trumps Campaign style . Not at all. A lot of people unhappy in general with a lot of the rhetoric theyre hearing from all the candidates, so its not just donald trump, but donald trump seems to be taking the cake in terms of what really is catching their ear and theyre not liking what theyre hearing. Other folks i spoke to say they are looking past a lot of this tv sound bite stuff and theyreb tuesday donald trump laid a marker in the sand and said his goal is to get 25 of the black vote. Whatever you think about donald trump, at least he put his marker down and we have something to judge him by. So those are the three reasons why i think the black community will support donald trump. Renard making some pretty strong statements there. I also talked to c. J. Jordan. Shes a republican strategist. She thinks that the economic message that donald trump is talking about will resonate with africanamericans as well, but that means at least from the folks that i talk to, youre going to have to look past an awful lot of rhetoric to get down and drill do t yeah. What are they saying to you about the charges filed against his Campaign Manager for grabbing that young woman, the reporter . That got a mixed reception from folks i talked to. Some say they feel like its a bit overblown. Obviously a situation that happened but they kind of feel like is it about all of this . They say the tape doesnt really show a particularly rough situation but theyre noting its one of many situations trump has had to deal with. And i want to get to this teenager, the 15yearold. She went to a trump event to protest and support the black lives Matter Movement and she got pepper sprayed. What kind of message does that send . Thats resonating with people. Theyre thinking about those situations, the situation where a gentleman was punched at a trump event. Those are the kinds of things that theyre saying theyre upset about. People have theight to express themselves at a rally. Theyve seen candidates at other rallies have been interrupted but they dont see a situation like this where not only the candidate is seeing a situation evolve in front of him at an event but then hes not denouncing it, not saying anything about it. That kind of response is not weighing well with africanamerican voters that i spoke to. Not trying to put out the fire necessarily. Exactly. Okay. All right. Whurs troy johnson, thank you. When it comes to the other gop candidates, theyre going back on a pledge they made earlier in the race. Pat just mentioned this. Steve handelsman is going to have more on that from capitol hill later here on news4. Turning now to the weather. Well, the wind sort of died down today and the Cherry Blossoms are holding on, but, amelia, how long is that going to last . Unfortunately, pat, not very long. Its a little bit breezy out there right now. Gusts from 20 to 25 miles an hour. So its a bit breezy. But were tracking windy conditions throughout the day tomorrow. Winds out of the south so well bring in warmer air. Were kind of trading off more wind for warmer temperatures. On friday its breezy. Saturday its breezy as well. Sunday its windy again finally by monday winds not an issue. Weve been dealing with blustery conditions this entire workweek and thats going to continue to be the case right into the weekend. Temperature right now at 61 degrees. Southerly winds sustained at 15 miles an hour with mostly sunny skies. The weather having a low impact on your day tomorrow. Mostly cloudy skies and theres a chance of scattered showers later in the day so have that small umbrella handy especially during the evening, later evening, and overnight hours, but most if not all of the day is looking dry. So if you have outdoor plans, looking quite nice. 7 00 a. M. The temperature around 51 degrees. So not as cold as tornado watches it was this morning. Temperatures by lunchtime in the mid60s, low 70s by the afternoon. A high tomorrow of 73, and then tomorrow evening at 7 00 a. M. A temperature of 71 degrees. At that point the chance of widely scattered showers. Better chance of rain on friday, especially for the first half of the day into the early afternoon hours. Here is the latest with future weather. Dry but by 8 00, 9 00 a. M. Showers move in impacting your friday morning commute, potentially continuing into the midday and early afternoon hours. Unfortunately, we could see rain ling near the evening hours now, but i think only about a 30 to 40 chance youre dealing with rain on your friday night. And a bit breezy otherwise. Now, as the rain moves through, especially around the morning, midday, and early afternoon hours we could see high winds producing isolated wind damage and theres a potential low to moderate for heavy rain but we wont be talking about any tornadoes and a low risk were seeing any hail. Temperatures right now in the low to mid60s. 61 in leesburg. 64 in manassas. 54 over in annapolis. On friday a high of 76 degrees. Looking at the weekend, some rain now in the forecast on lauryn will have or on what area this looks to favor on saturday. Sunday cooler with a high of that high of 53 will feel more like 40s, chhanks. This could be a gamechanger for georgetown. The decades old law that was just overturned th edoverturned.

Thats who were really trying to get to with these medications. Far more common than many people realize. Yes. What about children . So children is another big population again, and they are particularly at risk. Theyre the ones that miss the most school. These drugs are only approved for kids 12 and older for right now. So the younger children cant get the asthma shot. Studies are being done for their particular shots. I took allergy shots for about ten years and i need to be taking them now. Do they help asthmatics . They actually do, and thats something thats really not thats been around for 100 years. Its the original asthma shot. It will particularly help kids that have allergies but dont have asthma yet. It can stop them from growing into asthma and then it will definitely help adults and kids that already have asthma.
