—Here are 3 big things you need to know—

 

One —   Former President Trump is endorsing head of the North Carolina GOP Michael Whatley as the next chair of the Republican National Committee.   He also supported his daughter-in-law, Lara Trump, to serve as co-chair.  Current chair Ronna McDaniel is expected to step down following the South Carolina primary at the end of this month.

Two—  The Senate is moving forward with a 95-billion-dollar aid bill for Ukraine and Israel, but its fate in the House is uncertain.  The money, which is for Ukraine's defense against the Russian invasion and for Israeli security assistance, passed a Senate procedural vote with the help of 18 Republicans in a rare Sunday session.  This, despite former President Trump's opposition.  

 

And number three —  Some Uber, Lyft and DoorDash drivers are set to strike on Valentine's Day.  Drivers' groups said Monday they're seeking fair pay.  This is the first strike call since Uber and Lyft went public in 2019.  Groups said drivers are going to picket outside airports and Uber officers.  Drivers won't provide rides to and from airports between 11 am and 1 pm in nearly a dozen cities.
