Executive producer Mark Ford and director Erica Hanson chat with THR's Brande Victorian to discuss Lifetime's docuseries 'Where is Wendy Williams?' during the THR Frontrunners Lifetime Showcase held at San Vicente Bungalows in Los Angeles. Ford and Hanson spoke about having the former daytime talk show host's family's blessing to release the docuseries which has raised questions about Williams' ability to consent to the project, given her deteriorated state as a result of her diagnosis of primary progressive aphasia and frontotemporal dementia (FTD).

Trump Promises to Stop , All Electric Car Sales.
In an effort to be reelected
as President of the Unites States.
Trump is promising oil and gas execs that
he'll keep electric vehicles (EVs) from being sold in the U.S. if they make significant donations to his campaign, Gizmodo reports. .
Trump said that he'd lower tailpipe emissions targets and cut EV tax credits, among other things. .
"You won't be able to sell those cars," Trump said.
However, the EV market continues to grow, with
at least 1.5 million units expected to sell in 2024.
If Trump squashes EV sales in the U.S., it could anger some Republicans since the market has provided more jobs and investments in the South.
For example, Hyundai is investing
$13 billion in Georgia, a state Trump lost
in 2020, to produce electric vehicles.
Meanwhile, analysts predict EV sales will continue to rise despite Trump's efforts.
Although, his tactics could prove
to slow those sales dramatically. .
Ford Motor executive chair
William Clay Ford Jr. weighed
in on Trump's promises.
Our time frame as a company,
our planning time frame, is a lot
longer than election cycles, William Clay Ford Jr., via statement.
When we’re whipsawed back
and forth by politicians that
becomes really difficult for us, William Clay Ford Jr., via statement

In a tragic shooting at a Detroit suburb splash pad, an 8-year-old boy was critically injured and at least 7 others, including children, were shot. The suspect opened fire indiscriminately before being contained in a home, where they died by suicide. The random attack shattered a summer day outing and left the community reeling from another senseless act of gun violence just over a year after the Oxford High School mass shooting nearby.
