On "EWTN News Nightly" tonight: Pope Francis underwent abdominal surgery in Rome. According to Vatican officials the surgery became necessary due to an incisional hernia. EWTN Vatican Bureau Chief, Andreas Thonhauser, joins to tell us more about the surgery. And in the 2024 contest for the White House, the number of candidates vying for the job is growing by the day almost. Mike Pence, Doug Burgum and Chris Christie among those now throwing their hats into the ring. Cofounder and president of Real Clear Politics, Tom Bevan, joins to share what his biggest takeaway is and whether we are going to see a repeat of 2016 when we had such a massive field of candidates. Meanwhile, on the heels of the anniversary of the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests, the threat of war between China and Taiwan continues to grow. Some believe war is exactly what China is preparing for, so US lawmakers are taking steps to get ready as well, just in case. Finally this evening, there are new developments in a story about 2 pro-lifers who were assaulted outside a Planned Parenthood business in Baltimore. No arrests have been made. Senior Litigation Counsel for ACLJ, Olivia Summers, is representing both pro-lifers who were assaulted and shares how her clients are doing health-wise.
