Voting. A word defined by the Merriam-Webster Dictionary as “an expression of opinion or preference.” A concept well known by all Americans, as it should, considering our many things about this country are decided by elections. President, judges, mayors and governors are all voted upon by the general population; and if not, they are decided by elected officials.

President Donald Trump expressed his confusing feelings about the use of chokeholds during arrests by police officers around the country, saying that he thinks there are a lot of variables to consider but that “generally speaking it should be ended.”
As the protests are a response to the police killing of George Floyd, Faulkner asked Trump about the force used in the video of his death.
“I don’t like chokeholds,” said Trump, who then meandered off to say that sometimes police officers deal with “a real bad person” who is very “tough.”
Trump went on to say that he thinks “the concept of chokehold sounds so innocent, so perfect,” but it depends on how many people are in need of restraint or up against the officer and the “toughness and strength” of those involved.
Earlier in the conversation with Faulkner, Trump addressed the ongoing protests connected with Floyd.
“The fact of the matter is that Donald Trump is dangerous for our country,\" warned the \"Captain Marvel\" star.
William Ballard Hurd, the U.S. Representative for Texas’s 23rd Congressional District, was the first African American Republican ever to be elected to congress from the state of Texas. Hurd assumed office on January 3, 2015, representing a district that spans a large portion of the U.S.-Mexico border. Prior to entering politics, Hurd had an extensive career in the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), serving active tours of duty which included undercover work. Hurd is fluent in Spanish and Urdu (the national language of Pakistan).
Born on August 19, 1977, Hurd was the product of a bi-racial family, the son of Robert and Mary Alice Hurd. His father, Robert, is of African American descent, and his mother, Mary Alice, is of Caucasian ancestry. Originally from San Antonio, Texas, Hurd attended Texas A&M in College Station, Texas. While there, he served as his student body president in 1999. Hurd graduated with a major in computer science and a minor in international relations in 2000. After graduation, he went on to work in the CIA for nine years, serving as an operations officer in India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan.
In 2009 Hurd ran for the U.S. House of Representatives in the 23rd Congressional District but was defeated in the primary. In 2014 he ran again in the same district and won, defeating incumbent Democrat Pete Gallego. On March 1, 2016, Hurd was re-nominated in the Republican primary for his seat, and in November of 2016, he will face Democrat Pete Gallego once again.
During his tenure in congress, Hurd has been a mainstream Republican, voting along party lines 96 percent of the time. However, he has distanced himself from the Republican presidential nominee, businessman Donald Trump, and has been quoted as saying, “Building a wall is the most expensive, least-effective way to do border security.” Hurd is chairman of the Information Technology Subcommittee of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, as well as being vice-chair of the Border and Maritime Subcommittee of the Homeland
