| Carson’s up now with the first of two town hall meetings, to be followed this evening by a meeting with doctors in New Castle, New Hampshire. | |
| Trump and Bush have dueling town halls tonight, scheduled to kick off at 6.30pm. | |
| What’s Bush been up to? His campaign has rolled out a new video ad attacking Hillary Clinton for refusing to support the construction of the Keystone XL pipeline. | |
| The video takes a page from Subterranean Homesick Blues. Words over audio – works every time: | |
| Earlier Wednesday, in an occasionally fraught round table on the heroin crisis in New Hampshire, Bush made a rare reference to his daughter Noelle’s struggles with drug abuse, Ben Jacobs (@bencjacobs) reports: | |
| At the roundtable, Bush told attendees: “I’ve had personal experience of dealing with the challenges of drug addiction. It’s not easy. It’s not just the loss of a life or the loss of potential of one person, which is phenomenal.” The Republican presidential candidate added: “I can go into meetings and I know the people whose families have suffered because of this. It’s very easy to see, you can see it drained out of your face, you can just feel it.” | |

| Here’s a Twitter not to neglect if you keep a keen eye on politics: | |
| Carson is told to hold microphone close to his mouth here. His response "I can't get it any higher it will be in my mouth." | |
| Ben Carson is touting how 19th century Americans know how to build "roads and containment facilities" | |
| Ben Carson: Within 200 years of the advent of America men were walking on the moon. It fundamentally changed the trajectory of mankind | |
| 6.50pm BST18:50 | |
| Ben Jacobs (@bencjacobs) finds a packed house at the Riverwoods Senior Living Community in Exeter, New Hampshire, ahead of an appearance by Ben Carson. | |
| “However, the big crowd shouldn’t be taken as a sign of overwhelming support,” Ben writes: | |
| Many of the attendees at this event, which is limited to residents and their families, seem to be here simply because it’s the most exciting activity available on a wet, dreary Wednesday afternoon. | |
| Before Carson arrived, Ron Spiers sat thumbing through a copy of the Economist with his wife Patience. Both Ron and Patience plan on voting for Bernie Sanders in the Democratic primary, but they turned up here to see what Carson had to say, after he had few opportunities to speak in the first two Republican debates. | |
| “I don’t have an sense of where he is [on the Affordable Care Act] as a doctor with a prominent medical background,” said Ron Spiers. | |

| Wisconsin voters respond to Walker call to take out Trump... by backing Trump | |
| It appears that all the punditry about Senator Marco Rubio being the candidate most likely to scoop up supporters from the defunct Scott Walker campaign was not strictly “right” or “correct”. | |
| Walker memorably dropped out of the race eight days ago with a clarion call for a “positive, conservative alternative” to Donald Trump. | |
| It was a brave valedictory, Walker falling on his sword, saying he was called to lead by clearing the field so that a more viable standard-bearer could emerge. | |
| Voters appear to have responded by throwing their support behind Trump, according to a Marquette University poll. That’s how Wisconsin feels about Scott Walker right now. The same poll has him at 37% approval in his home state. Not a great political season for Walker. | |
| .@realDonaldTrump was candidate helped most in Wis by @ScottWalker dropping out. Moved from 9% to 20%. | |

| Hillary Clinton, apparently the most prolific correspondent since Queen Victoria, will see 6,000 additional pages of her emails released by the State Department this afternoon. The Guardian’s Washington bureau chief Dan Roberts (@RobertsDan) will be reading her email so you don’t have to. We can’t wait to find out how the gefilte fish episode was resolved and whether she learned to fax. | Hillary Clinton, apparently the most prolific correspondent since Queen Victoria, will see 6,000 additional pages of her emails released by the State Department this afternoon.

| Last but not least, gossip is swirling around Trey Gowdy, the chairman of the House special committee on Benghazi, after prospective House speaker Kevin McCarthy said on TV Tuesday night that the committee is part of “a strategy to fight and win” against Democrats and had successfully driven down Hillary Clinton’s poll numbers. Don’t care about Beltway musical chairs? No problem: we’ll do a House of Cards version for you with the Guardian’s Nicky Woolf (@NickyWoolf) on the Hill. | Last but not least, gossip is swirling around Trey Gowdy, the chairman of the House special committee on Benghazi, after prospective House speaker Kevin McCarthy said on TV Tuesday night that the committee is part of “a strategy to fight and win” against Democrats and had successfully driven down Hillary Clinton’s poll numbers.

| Gowdy has said the purpose of the committee is to clarify what happened in the 11 September 2012 attacks in Benghazi, Libya, in which four Americans were killed. But he also really, really likes Clinton’s emails. | Gowdy has said the purpose of the committee is to clarify what happened in the 11 September 2012 attacks in Benghazi, Libya, in which four Americans were killed.

| Depending on whom you believe, Gowdy is now either being advanced as an alternative to McCarthy – or Gowdy is retiring from Congress. | Depending on whom you believe, Gowdy is now either being advanced as an alternative to McCarthy – or Gowdy is retiring from Congress. |
