I'm Georgia Howe with Daily Wire Editor-in-Chief John Bickley. It's Wednesday, September 14th, and this is your Morning Wire afternoon update, where we provide a brief rundown of some of the top developing stories of the day. The Biden administration is still scrambling to stave off a rail worker's strike that would cripple the U.S. economy. A handful of the nation's largest rail lines have already announced embargoes on certain shipments this week as negotiations continue with two of the nation's largest rail unions. A real worker's strike would cost the U.S. an estimated $2 billion a day. Underdog Trump-backed Republican Caroline Levitt won the GOP primary for New Hampshire's

first congressional district on Tuesday at just 25 years old. Voters made their choice. They wanted a homegrown America First conservative going up against Chris Pappas this fall. Levitt could become the youngest woman ever elected to Congress if she wins in November. My Pillow Founder and Outspoken Trump supporter Mike Lindel Lendell claims that the FBI seized his phone as he sat in a Hardy's drive-thru in Mancota, Wisconsin late Tuesday evening. I run five companies off that. I don't have a computer.

My hearing aids run off this. Everything runs off my phone. Lendell says agents also questioned him about a Colorado clerk who has been charged in a scheme to breach voting system technology across the country.
