Every election cycle produces a new crop of road warriors as hundreds of reporters across the country pack their bags to cover local, state and national races. Here are their tips for parachuting into major cities, farm country, border towns, wealthy suburbs and more. Jacob Soboroff, MSNBC correspondent Covering the elections requires taking off at a moment’s notice to any part of the country. And he always carries a puffy jacket for planes. Another challenge: packing enough shirts and keeping them ironed. To stay healthy on the road, he tries to eat as many Açaí bowls as possible and drinks juices if he starts feeling sick. “I always keep a colorful scarf in my bag to add some liveliness at the end of a long travel day – and to give an otherwise ordinary travel outfit a more polished finish,” she says.

Exciting!” Trump said Saturday in a tweet aimed at the Cupertino, California-based company. This week, Apple said that a proposed new round of $200 billion in additional tariffs on Chinese imports would raise prices on some of its products, including the Apple Watch and the Mac mini. The company is highly exposed to a trade war between the U.S. and China. It makes many of its products for the U.S. market in China, and it also sells gadgets including the iPhone in China, making them a potential target for Chinese retaliation against the Trump tariffs. Trump tweeted Saturday that “Apple prices may increase because of the massive Tariffs we may be imposing on China — but there is an easy solution where there would be ZERO tax, and indeed a tax incentive,” if the company made its products in the U.S. instead of China. Apple didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment. The White House has accused China of stealing U.S. intellectual property and forcing American companies to share their technology with Chinese companies. Apple said “it is difficult to see” how tariffs would advance the government’s goal. The Trump administration has imposed tariffs of $50 billion on imports from China, mostly equipment and material used by manufacturers. CEO Tim Cook said in July that those measures had no effect on Apple.
