“Right now, the single most vulnerable Republican incumbent is John Duarte, in my view,” Wasserman said of the California races. Public safety and immigration will also likely factor into the campaign. Calvert has a history of voting against LGBTQ+ rights, as The Times has previously reported, but said during the 2022 campaign that his views had since evolved. That record will almost certainly come under fire in the Coachella Valley as he faces off against Rollins, a gay man who lives with his partner in Palm Springs.
LGBTQ+ culture wars surface in heated Riverside County congressional race
It's also because of the continued shift with college-educated white voters toward Democrats. In 2020, Trump won college-educated white men by 3 points in 2020, according to exit polls, but the latest NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll showed Biden winning the group by more than 20 points. The Blue Wall states are home to significant shares of white, working-class voters, but Biden has retained strong support with unions. Democrats are also putting in significant efforts, especially in Wisconsin, to reach Black voters and be on college campuses. All three states have significant Black populations and multiple colleges and universities. Biden is trying to make up ground there with younger voters and Black voters, groups he's lagging with.
CA - 27: Rep. Mike Garcia versus George Whitesides
Elections for the Florida House of Representatives took place in 2014. The signature filing deadline for candidates wishing to run in this election was June 20, 2014. Florida rearranged its House districts during the redistricting process after the 2020 census. Click [show] on the header below to view a table showing all 120 districts in the leftmost column along with all legislators representing those districts at the time of the 2022 filing deadline. The "Filed in 2022 in ..." column lists the districts, in which incumbents filed to run. The "New district open?" column indicates whether the incumbent running was the only incumbent seeking re-election in that district.
Process to become a candidate
Democrats underperformed in both states in 2022, in part because their in-state political dominance helped Republicans channel voter frustration into anger toward Democrats, Wasserman explained. California “is, along with New York, one of the two most important paths to potential Democratic control of the House,” said Dave Wasserman, senior editor and elections analyst for the nonpartisan Cook Political Report. The country came thisclose in 1876, and 2000 was within 5 electoral votes...
District 39
1st term incumbent Democratic representative Kristen Arrington has represented Florida House of Representatives 43rd District since November 2020. 2nd term incumbent Democratic representative Joy Goff-Marcil has represented Florida House of Representatives 30th District since November 2018. Incumbent Democrat Yvonne Hayes Hinson won her seat in 2020, running unopposed. While Hinson represented Florida's 20th House District, she won re-election in 2022 in Florida's 21st State House District with 60.2%, defeating Republican Hollye Merton.

While North Carolina was also close in 2020 — within 2 points — given its history of voting Republican, it begins the cycle in the Lean Republican category. Democrats feel the gubernatorial race in the state could help them, as Republicans nominated a highly controversial candidate, who could turn off swing voters. It's also unclear how third-party candidates could affect the map. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has been pulling double digits in polling, and it's not totally clear which side he pulls most from. Polls have shown him pulling evenly, some have shown him pulling more from Trump, others more from Biden. The Biden campaign would prefer a one-on-one matchup with Trump and super PACs are cropping up on the left to attack Kennedy's record.
When an incumbent files to run for re-election in the same chamber but a new district, it leaves his or her original seat open. This may happen for a variety of reasons ranging from redistricting to a change in residences. This may result in instances where multiple incumbents face each other in contested primaries or general elections if the incumbent in the new district also seeks re-election. The following analysis covers all state legislative districts up for election in Florida in 2022.
3rd term incumbent Republican representative Lawrence McClure has represented Florida House of Representatives 58th District since 2017. 2nd term incumbent Republican representative Mike Beltran has represented Florida House of Representatives 57th District since November 2018. 2nd term incumbent Republican representative Melony Bell has represented Florida House of Representatives 56th District since November 2018.
In 2020, it was the closest it has been since 1996, decided by 7 points. But with other paths to 270 and how expensive Texas is to advertise and organize in, expect the core seven states to be the focus. To this point, the Biden campaign has spent almost nothing in ads on the state and the polling has, to this point, shown Trump well ahead. Latinos, Black voters and young voters all view the economy negatively. Majorities overall disapprove of Biden's handling of the economy and more voters say they think the economy was better under Trump. In addition to the Latino population increase in the Southwest, McDonald pointed to the uptick in Asian Americans, and a remigration of Black voters to Georgia as to why those states continue to trend toward Democrats.
The speaker presides over the House, appoints committee members and committee chairs, influences the placement of bills on the calendar, and rules on procedural motions. The speaker pro tempore presides if the speaker leaves the chair or if there is a vacancy. The speaker, along with the Senate president and governor of Florida, control most of the agenda of state business in Florida. Wasserman stressed that there were still open questions about the strength of Biden’s support among Latino voters. A scenario where Trump manages to make inroads with those voters would favor Duarte, Wasserman said. House candidates Democrat Adam Gray’s and Republican John Duarte’s stances on abortion, the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, inflation, other issues.

It’s a majority white district, with not insubstantial Asian and Latino populations. "I would be very surprised if we have a turnout rate like we saw in 2020," McDonald said. "And the people who would most likely then not participate ... are going to be these lower-education voters. And so it's going to pose a real challenge to the Trump campaign, to energize these folks yet again to vote in 2020."

"History judges us for what we do. This is a critical time right now." In the two years since Russia's invasion, opposition to aiding Ukraine has grown from a fringe position to a majority view among House GOP lawmakers. Many argue the money should be spent domestically or that policy changes at the US-Mexico border should take precedence. The bill is widely expected to pass the Senate in the coming days, as it generally mirrors a $95.3 billion national security bill passed by the upper chamber in February.
Fernandez-Barquin won the Republican nomination and went on to defeat Democratic nominee Johnny Farias in the general election. 1st term incumbent Republican representative Vance Aloupis has represented Florida House of Representatives 115th District since November 2020.

Gray significantly outraised Duarte in the most recent filing period ending on March 31, but Duarte still has more cash on hand, with $1.8 million, to Gray’s $1.2 million reserve, according to federal filings. Two years ago, this was the second-closest House race in the nation, with Duarte winning by just 564 votes. It will be one of the most avidly watched races in the country again this year. The rematch between Republican Rep. Ken Calvert and Democrat Will Rollins is one of several 2024 California races that will help determine which party controls the House. That will be compounded by two things, said UC Irvine political science professor Louis DeSipio. Steel has a massive fundraising advantage, with more than $3 million on hand compared to Tran’s nearly $200,000.
If a tie happened, Trump would likely become president, because a tie would go to the House. Each House delegation would cast one collective vote for their states. The voting delegations would be those voted into the House after this year's congressional elections.
The nearby Grand Hyatt Washington is also a good choice at 15,000 World of Hyatt points per night, especially if you have access to its club lounge (which our daughter, Mommy Points, has scored for us on some trips).

Also on the Ground Floor Corridor is the first nod to the 200th Anniversary of the publication of ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas, a poem and book deeply etched into so many childhood memories. The Library of Congress provided a sampling of editions from the last 200 years to the White House, displayed in cases for visitors to remember and enjoy. During the Vice President’s Economic Opportunity Tour, she will highlight how the Biden-Harris Administration has delivered historic investments that have supported communities and helped people thrive. Vice President Harris will also outline additional steps that she and President Biden are taking to expand this work.

With that approval in hand, we found a cheap Spirit Airlines flight into Baltimore for $64. Normally, we would have used 5,000 Spirit miles to cover the fare, but because we were so close to our travel date, reward booking fees were more than the actual cost of the flight, so that strategy didn't work. Thankfully, there are plenty of affordable hotels in Baltimore using points or cash. Since we arrived pretty late in the evening, we just booked a decent cash rate at the Aloft BWI Baltimore Airport and rested for the night. The same hotel (a Category 3 Marriott property) can be booked for 17,500 Marriott points. Guests who receive a confirmed tour reservation will be issued a White House Tour Pass ahead of their tour date containing pertinent health and safety guidance.

When standing in front of the trees, we found them to be colorful, festive and appropriate for the season. A muted green carpet provided a seasonal balance to the somewhat narrow walkway. Judging by the number of photos being taken of the trees, they seem to be a hit with the crowd. Fortunately, cameras (with some limitations) are permitted on the White House tour. The 2023 White House Holiday Display is designed to capture the pure, unfiltered delight and imagination of childhood, to encourage visitors to reflect on this time of year with hearts open to the magic, wonder, and joy of the season.

All U.S. citizens ages 18 and older, and foreign nationals of all ages (including children), must present a valid, government-issued photo ID upon arrival for their tour. We'll be in touch with the latest information on how President Biden and his administration are working for the American people, as well as ways you can get involved and help our country build back better. A Red Room tradition since 1975, fresh cranberries are integrated into the decor as topiary forms. Marking a new twist to the time-honored tradition are cranberry red beads incorporated into the room’s handmade popcorn garland.
Sixteen administrations were covered; their choices reflected not only each president's personal style and attitude, but also graphically illustrated the number of Christmases each experienced as the leader of our country. Johnson and Nixon had five, Carter and Bush 41 had four, Ford had three, Kennedy only two and Trump also had two. We found this exhibit to be a poignant and educational history lesson with a direct seasonal correlation. As we turned the corner, we came up the East Colonnade, which was lined on both sides with bright red berry trees of varying heights naturally lit by the multiple large windows that look out into the Kennedy Garden. The trees had received some unfavorable reviews when first introduced, and we were curious as to what our impression would be in person.

A meal is sadly not included in the White House tour, but, if it was, the State Dining Room would be the logical place for it to be served. It can accommodate over 100 guests, but my blue jeans likely would have needed a serious upgrade. Eagles support the furniture and topped the trees in homage to one of our national symbols. A large edible gingerbread creation sat under one of the classic White House mirrors and depicted famous monuments and structures on the National Mall. The Blue Room just feels like what I think of when I envision the best of America, and the tree there was decorated to enhance this ambience.

Nearly 142,500 lights illuminate trees, garlands, wreaths and other displays, and nearly 15,000 feet (4,600 meters) of ribbon are part of it all. The official White House Menorah is on display in the Cross Hall connecting the State Dining Room and the East Room, which is decorated with trees and various advent calendars. The State Dining Room has been transformed into Santa’s workshop, with elves’ workbenches, stools and ladders circling Christmas trees, and tools and gifts-in-progress rounding out the décor.
We hope you enjoy the holidays at the White House— “The People’s House,” your house. Information regarding additional springtime events at the White House, including the Spring Garden Tours and the White House Easter Egg Roll, will be released in the coming days. With a little luck, you may be able to go inside the White House and see it decked out for the holidays. She thanked the "hundreds of volunteer decorators and designers" who made this year's display possible. To schedule a tour of the White House to see the decorations, you can email your House representative. Seventy-two wreaths sporting red ribbons adorn the north and south exteriors of the building.
The Library of Congress provided samples of editions of the book from the past 200 years that are on display in protective cases along the ground floor corridor. The traditional gingerbread White House includes a large sugar cookie replica of the book opened to a page that says “Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night.” Santa’s sleigh and reindeer also fly above the cookie White House. The tour enters from the East Wing, where we passed through a hallway that led to the first of many grand Christmas trees. The initial tree was dedicated to the Gold Star families of our armed forces and was decorated in red and blue ribbons and rich gold ornaments.
Congressional Tour Coordinators will be able to submit tour requests beginning Monday, March 21, 2022. As always, one of the highlights of the decor is in the Blue Room, where the official White House Christmas Tree stands on display. This year’s tree is an 18½ foot Fraser Fir that stands floor to ceiling, and requires the annual removal of the Blue Room’s chandelier in order to accommodate its full height.

On Wednesday, the first lady will unveil a holiday ice rink on the White House lawn. Even though we are very common people, we felt special because we had this opportunity. The Secret Service officer checked our IDs and cross-checked the master list to verify if we were indeed on "the nice list." Three additional screenings later and we were ready to enter the White House.

The Vice President’s tour will take her back to several states across the country as she highlights how the Biden-Harris Administration has built economic opportunity and delivered for the American people. The Economic Opportunity Tour will kick off with a moderated conversation in Atlanta, GA on April 29 and an event in Detroit, MI during the following week. Free tours of the executive mansion were suspended when President Joe Biden took office, as officials tightened virus protocols in line with guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. They resumed on a limited basis, being held only Friday and Saturday mornings, on April 15, and will return to their normal schedule from Tuesday through Saturday, excluding federal holidays, beginning on July 19. The White House Historical Association has created the Official White House Christmas Ornament since 1981.

During the holidays, the Cross Hall features the official White House Menorah, created in 2021 by the White House Executive Residence Carpentry Shop. The menorah was constructed using wood that was removed more than seventy years ago during the Truman-era renovation of the White House. The stunning tree celebrates cheerful scenes, landscapes, and neighborhoods from all across the country, with names of every state, territory, and the District of Columbia, showcased throughout the decor. With bright colors and three-dimensional elements, guests will gaze in wonder as they are taken on a delightful adventure around the tree. A replica of a vintage passenger train, on loan from the Train Collectors Association, magically weaves through the tree’s base.

As the precious few days passed from our approval to our departure, we held our breath that our tour would not be affected by a Christmas cancellation. Even as we approached the tour entrance, we kept one eye out for unusual Secret Service movement and the other eye scanning our phone looking for breaking news that might bear bad tidings. Fortunately, we were greeted by an open gate and a welcoming gesture and into the line we went. But, as we have discovered in the past, wanting to visit the White House and getting to visit the White House are two very different things.
White House Christmas Trees Through the Years
Jill Biden on Monday unveiled this year's White House holiday decorations, themed around the idea of childlike wonder and featuring some 14,975 feet of ribbon, over 350 candles, and more than 33,892 ornaments. We’ll see everything from the Gold Star Tree honoring fallen US service members to the famous White House Christmas Tree in the Blue Room. Your little ones might be especially excited to see the corridor filled with letters to Santa, stamped and ready to be sent to the North Pole. In the Grand Foyer, we’ll even get to see Santa’s magical red sleigh with his nine reindeer suspended in mid-air.
The Ground Floor Corridor
The décor also features likenesses of family cat Willow and dog Commander, who was recently sent away after multiple incidents of biting Secret Service personnel. The United States Botanic Garden had a beautiful display of scale model monuments made entirely of plant material. The same artistic skill and methods were used to build the famous American train depots that were central to the garden's themed "All Aboard" model train exhibit. We were the last two to leave for the day, and we lingered and looked as much as we could. We could have easily spent longer reflecting on all we had seen, but the business of the White House had to go on.
A long continuous blue velvet ribbon curled itself throughout the tree with the names of all the states and territories proudly embroidered with a rich gold thread. Red and gold ornaments filled the green branches that reached toward and touched the ornate ceiling medallion. The first Christmas tree featured inside the White House is adorned with wooden Gold Star ornaments that are engraved with the names of fallen service members. The Gold Star tree honors the heroic men and women of our Nation’s military who have laid down their lives for our country, those who are Missing in Action, and the families who carry on their legacies. WASHINGTON – Vice President Kamala Harris announced today that she will embark on a nationwide Economic Opportunity Tour with a series of events focused on investing in communities, building wealth, and ensuring every American has the freedom to thrive.
Inspired by the 200th anniversary of the publication of ’Twas the Night Before Christmas, this year’s gingerbread White House features a recreation of this storied tale. The display includes a sugar cookie replica of the famous book, as well as Santa’s sleigh flying above the White House grounds. This magical poem has delighted children for 200 years, with families across the world gathering together for generations to recite the lyrical lines by memory. Whether sewing a costume for the Christmas pageant, stringing popcorn for the tree, or fashioning homemade ornaments, the holidays are a time for creativity and imagination. One of the first Christmas trees visitors will see is decorated with wooden gold star ornaments engraved with the names of fallen service members.

The East Room features a Neapolitan crèche, or Nativity scene, with over 40 figurines, most dating back to the eighteenth century. The crèche has been displayed during every White House holiday season since 1967. At the center of the room is a mechanical theater creation with rotating United States Marine Band figures entertaining guests with herald trumpets.
This year's decor also features several nods to the 1823 poem and book "'Twas the Night Before Christmas," now celebrating its 200th year. In addition to vintage editions on display along the ground floor corridor, the book will be featured in sugar-cookie form alongside the traditional gingerbread White House.

Crocker spent a fair amount of time inventing that bite, which is downright delicious even to those not on a restrictive diet. The texture of the whipped topping and the moistness of the brownie are obsession-worthy—too bad it’s gone in just a bite or two. But lingering and sharing have been in short supply since COVID-19 hit—and for a time, it appeared that Wenham Tea House, the oldest operating tea house in the United States, might fall victim to the pandemic.

I used to take my mom to afternoon tea all over Southern California as a way of spending quality time with her. When my kids were very little, I brought them along as well and they were surprisingly well-behaved. The delicate China teacups all survived intact, despite tiny hands. While the ladies who established the tea room in 1912 might disapprove, these days guests can order their tea spiked, starting with a glass of sparkling wine followed by a liqueur chosen to pair with whatever tea you are enjoying.

We have renovated and modernized the historic tea house’s interior and added a bar to the lounge to offer our guests an incredible fine dining ambience and experience.

You would never guess the indulgent morsel was both gluten-free and vegan, the topping coconut cream whipped with pomegranate.

Items like roasted haddock with a sherry-cream sauce, filet mignon, vegetarian cassoulet, and a thick burger topped with cheddar and brie fondue. A new focus on special diets is driven in part by the couple’s daughter, who has a severe gluten allergy and is also vegan. Crocker brainstormed with his daughter on that brownie bite, which was included on a recent classic tea service, but would also be a star of the gluten-free option. Crafting a fully vegan tea service is still in the works, but there is a vegetarian offering, which changes with what is fresh and in season. During lunch and dinner service, Wenham Tea House has a variety of appetizers- from the elegant Tuna Tartare served over house made chips with carrots and cucumbers drizzled with Asian aioli.

The Old Homestead has been serving steaks to hungry New Yorkers since 1868 and is one of the last reminders of the days when New York's Meatpacking District was still an actual meatpacking district. Owners Greg and Marc Sherry have built relationships with local suppliers who provide them with some of the finest cuts you'll find anywhere, and they take it one step further by dry-aging them for up to 40 days.

The prime rib is still the draw here, though the outrageously neon interior is its own reason to go.

Nonetheless, Cara's parents, Charles and Pandora, had their own theory about the house fire ... Blaming a rogue powerline as the culprit, especially after a very windy night in SoCal.

You may remember this restaurant from its role as a location in 2004's indie hit "Sideways" (Virginia Madsen's character is a waitress here), but that's far from The Hitching Post II's biggest claim to fame. This Santa Barbara County gem, which opened in 1986, is owned by Frank and Natalie Ostini, who have been among the primary evangelists for Santa Maria-style barbecue, a style that's closer to Mexican asado than Texas-style low-and-slow.
Charlotte firefighters arrived within minutes of the first call, which was placed around 9 a.m. Thursday morning, according to the Charlotte Fire Department. Fire officials said over 90 firefighters fought the fire and rescued 15 workers from the burning construction site.

According to its website, Modera SouthPark is a wood-frame, podium-style community consisting of twin buildings that make up more than 200 apartment homes. They noticed the side of the building was smoking, so they started yelling out of the window, but the firefighters couldn't hear them. The witness said, at that point, they started taking video of the smoke. Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department is asking people to avoid the SouthPark area so their crews can respond to the fire efficiently. Drivers are being asked by CMPD to avoid Liberty Drive, Assembly Street, Barclay Downs Drive and Park South Drive until all flames are contained. By 6 p.m., Fairview Road was reopened during the congested evening commute.

Fire officials said crews had several "maydays," which means crews were either trapped or had access issues when escaping. In total, 15 workers were rescued from the site and no firefighters were injured. A construction worker on the scene of the massive fire told WCNC Charlotte that he and his crew were working in the building before the massive blaze.

The cloud of smoke from the fire was so thick it was registering on the radar. WCNC Charlotte Forecaster Larry Sprinkle said, due to the smoke, the air quality skyrocketed to the "very unhealthy" level. Sprinkle strongly encouraged everyone to stay inside because the dense smoke is in the air, and experts aren't aware yet what is in the smoke chemical-wise.
Charlotte Fire asked anyone unable to locate family members who were working at the construction site to call 911. Police shared the same information, saying an officer will complete a missing persons report. They asked family to provide the person’s full name, date of birth, physical description and a recent photo. A crane operator was stuck in the cab high above the fire and fortunately, first responders later rescued the worker.
The Charlotte Fire Department responded to an apartment fire in the 6800 block of Fishers Farm Lane. The station quoted a fire official from nearby Waxhaw saying that first responders were "putting plenty of water on the crane to ensure the metal didn’t twist or collapse." "The CMPD is assisting the Charlotte Fire Department with road closures in the area... due to a large fire," it said, adding, "do not call 911 unless you have an emergency."
$850k in damages reported, 30 people displaced following large apartment fire in south Charlotte
CHARLOTTE — As firefighters battled a massive fire at a building in SouthPark from below, a harrowing scene unfolded Thursday morning as one crew member dangled from above. Johnson said the initial investigation shows the fire started in a spray foam insulation truck, and appears to be accidental. At a construction site on the 7700 block of Liberty Row Drive, across the street from SouthPark Mall. One person was taken to the hospital and is expected to recover, paramedics said.
This is the worst thing that can happen in our industry and there are no words that can express the emotions we are experiencing from this loss. SouthPark Mall was closed due to the proximity of the fire and motorists were advised to stay away from the area as several roads were closed. Officials asked the public to not call 911 unless there is an absolute emergency. Both men were part of the construction crew working on the upscale apartment buildings when the fire broke out.
One user on Twitter, @TheHomeT, shared a video of the smoke plume emanating from the fire.
The fire chief also maintained that the fire was accidental, and said it appears to have been sparked by a spray insulation foam trailer fire. Witnesses and social media video described spectacularly high flames, leaping 50 feet in the air. The fire was mostly extinguished as of noon, though firefighters were still spraying hot spots. There was ash all over the ground, and traffic was stopped on many surrounding streets. "We watched it start to smoke gradually and then we saw the smoke get bigger, and then, initially, the front of the building caught on fire," the witness said.
Firefighters were trying to reach the two trapped construction workers, but firefighters had to declare their own "mayday" during the rescue attempt. Charlotte Fire Chief Reginald Johnson said firefighters rescued 15 workers from the building, including one who was on a crane. Paramedics said he was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
We tell the stories of people working to solve persistent social problems. We examine how problems can be solved or addressed to improve the quality of life and make a positive difference. Large clouds of smoke and flames shot hundreds of feet in the air from the area of Barclay Downs Drive and Fairview Road, near SouthPark Mall. Officials said firefighters were tasked with extinguishing the "very fast-moving" fire, which was over 2,000 degrees. We are deeply saddened by the tragic passing of the two people who were missing in the construction fire that took place yesterday.
Another worker told Channel 9 that a foam-spraying machine caught fire and then spread to the floors above. But as of Thursday afternoon, two workers who were in the area of the construction site where the fire initially broke out remain unaccounted for, the newspaper added. The Charlotte Fire Department says it is battling a massive blaze Thursday at a construction site in the North Carolina city’s SouthPark area. National building code allows for up to five floors of residential buildings to be constructed using fire retardant wood.
CLT has 5 security checkpoints situated across the terminal, providing easy access to each concourse. Considering the number of passengers CLT serves, it’s quite a compact airport and does not require the need to travel by train or shuttle in between departure areas — all concourses are accessible by walking. CLT has TSA and TSA Pre Checkpoints to ensure a smooth and safe screening process for all passengers. TSA Pre Check is a program that allows eligible passengers to enjoy expedited screening, which means they can keep their shoes, belts, and light jackets on, and their laptops and liquids in their bags. To participate in TSA Pre Check, passengers must apply and be approved by the TSA.
Terminal
Remove firearms from carry-on bags before traveling to the airport. In the mid-1980s, the old terminal site was converted to a cargo center, and the central concourse and Eastern unit terminal were removed to make way for more cargo buildings. The original main building still stands and is used for office space. In 1989 Piedmont merged with USAir; the new merged operations kept the USAir name. Note that while Clear and its various Powered By Clear iterations (such as Reserve) are free to sign up for and use, you will need to pay for the upgraded membership to Clear Plus to bypass the usual ID check at airport security.
Limited Time CLEAR Offer
United's flights continued to use the east pier, with an enclosed holding room added for waiting passengers. Eastern added two more gates to the end of its west concourse in 1973. Over the past few years, CLEAR has changed the airport security landscape in a big way.

It's not everywhere yet – not even close – but CLEAR now has a presence in more than 55 airports across the continental U.S. and even Puerto Rico. Here's the list of all the airports where you can currently use CLEAR.
USO Lounge
To reach Concourse E, take a right out of Concourse D, or to reach the other concourses, continue straight along the moving walkways. One passenger told FOX 46 the congestion is just part of reality now.
Each concourse also has its own selection of dining and shopping options, as well as lounges for eligible passengers. TSA, which is part of the Homeland Security Department, has been rolling out the facial recognition technology at select airports in a pilot project. Travelers put their driver’s license into a slot that reads the card or they place their passport photo against a card reader. Then they look at a camera on a screen about the size of an iPad that captures their image and compares it to their ID. The technology is checking to make sure that travelers at the airport match the ID they present and that the identification is real. TSA's Pre✓™ program allows for more efficient security screening of eligible passengers at participating airports.
Does Charlotte airport have curbside check-in?
To reach Concourse D, take a left out of Concourse E, or to reach the other concourses take a right and walk along the connector. However, there are several luggage storage options available near the airport. Some nearby hotels offer luggage storage for a fee, and there are also luggage storage facilities located in the city. If you need to store your luggage for an extended period of time, it is recommended that you research and book a storage option in advance.
While both of these services provide quicker navigation through the airport, Clear Plus and PreCheck can actually be used hand in hand. Check to see if any of your current credit cards offer a credit for TSA PreCheck membership as an included perk. If you're someone who hates having to dig for your ID every time you pass through a security check, whether you're at an arena, stadium, the rental car counter, or the airport, this service might sound appealing. Security lines can sometimes be very long and when you're in a hurry, every minute counts. Signing up for a complimentary Clear account is a no-brainer, especially if you frequently attend sporting events or concerts.
