RUIDOSO, N.M. (KRQE) – Areas around Ruidoso affected by the recent wildfires and flooding will soon get even more federal help.

Joe Biden drops out of presidential race
U.S. President Joe Biden has announced he no longer plans to seek reelection, a decision that follows weeks of growing pressure from some Democratic Party supporters, including high-profile tech investors and executives. "It has been the greatest honor of my life to serve as your President," Biden said in a statement.
