Three newly freed Americans are back on U.S. soil on Friday after a landmark prisoner exchange with Russia. President Joe Biden was at Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland to greet them, and said the exchange came with “tough calls.”

Vice President Kamala Harris ‘ campaign announced that it raised $310 million last month. The haul by Harris, the Democratic National Committee, and affiliated entities outpaced Republican former President Donald Trump, whose campaign and assorted committees said they took in $138.7 million for July.

The Biden administration officially recognized Venezuela’s opposition candidate Edmundo González as the winner of the presidential election. The State Department said the Venezuelan National Electoral Council’s declaration of socialist President Nicolás Maduro as the winner came with no supporting evidence.
