Good morning. It's Wednesday, March 22. President Trump spent Tuesday selling the Republican health-care overhaul to skeptical House members, warning his party that failure would endanger his legislative agenda and their own political careers.

Orange County Democrats expressed their full support for embattled state attorney Aramis Ayala, while also calling for the firing of a Seminole Clerk's office employee who wrote about Ayala being "hung from a tree."
