The Update- August 2nd

The Update with Brandon Julien

There was a lot to talk about on Wednesday's edition of #TheUpdate. New York City police say a man driving a stolen SUV struck a group of pedestrians on a Midtown Manhattan sidewalk near Grand Central Terminal and injured 10 people. Lt. Gov. Sheila Oliver, who rose to become one of New Jersey’s most prominent Black leaders and passionately advocated for revitalizing cities and against gun violence, died Tuesday after a sudden illness. She was 71. Justin Verlander is headed back to the Astros, who reacquired the three-time Cy Young Award winner from the Mets in a trade-deadline blockbuster. Max Scherzer never anticipated being traded from the New York Mets, and says the sentiment in their clubhouse was that the underachieving team would reload for 2024. And Lizzo has been sued by three former dancers who accuse the Grammy winner of sexual harassment and allege the singer and her production company created a hostile work environment. 👩‍🎤💵
