Kentucky officials said the move was in response to a federal judge striking down the Medicaid work requirements that Bevin has touted.

Republican gubernatorial nominee Mike DeWine said Wednesday that he favors keeping Medicaid expansion in Ohio, though with new work requirements on many recipients. Until now, DeWine, Ohio's attorney general, has been vague about whether he favors preserving Medicaid expansion, which extends healthcare benefits to about 700,000 low-income Ohioans.

President Donald Trump declared war and then victory with drug maker Pfizer within a matter of hours this week, claiming to have successfully convinced the pharmaceutical company to roll back drug price increases.

Pfizer really delayed the increases rather than canceling them: The company says Trump has until the end of the year to implement a drug pricing blueprint he introduced in May, and if he doesn't, it will go ahead and hike prices again.
