 Rep. Chuck Edwards withdraws reelection bid after House Ethics Committee finds evidence of misconduct Republican Rep. Chuck Edwards of North Carolina announced Wednesday that he is ending his reelection campaign, days after the House Ethics Committee said it found “substantial evidence” that he violated House rules involving sexual harassment and a hostile workplace.

The nationwide blackout began Saturday evening at 6:32 p.m. local time after a major power plant in Nuevitas, Camaguey province, went offline, leaving roughly 10 million residents without electricity.

Officials said microsystems—smaller, closed circuits—were established in all provinces to provide electricity for essential services such as hospitals, water systems, and food distribution. Gas-fired plants in Varadero and Boca de Jaruco were running, and power had reached the nearby Santa Cruz oil-fired facility. Residents in Havana reported crowded streets and widespread disruption, with cell service and internet largely unavailable. Cuba’s prime minister described the restoration effort as occurring under “very complex circumstances.” This blackout follows two others earlier in March, highlighting the chronic instability of the nation’s power grid amid ongoing U.S. sanctions and restrictions on Venezuelan oil supplies.
