More contenders are entering the presidential race. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is expected to announce the start of his campaign Wednesday night in a live audio conversation on Twitter with Elon Musk. Meanwhile, with former President Trump's mounting legal troubles, we ask which issues will determine who shows up to vote and how they cast their ballots.

President Biden and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy met Monday and acknowledged the divide.
