ANÁLISIS | La posibilidad de que Trump gane otro mandato es muy real

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 20:30:38 GMT

(CNN) — Donald Trump se enfrenta a dos acusaciones, con la posibilidad de más. A raíz de eso, la sabiduría política podría haber sugerido alguna vez que la candidatura del expresidente a un segundo mandato en la Casa Blanca no sería más que una utopía. Pero la mayoría de nosotros ya sabemos que no es así.Trump no solo se encuentra en una posición históricamente fuerte para que un no titular gane la designación republicana, sino que está en una mejor posición para ganar las elecciones generales que en cualquier momento durante el ciclo de 2020 y casi en cualquier momento durante el ciclo de 2016.Nadie en la posición actual de Trump en las encuestas ha perdido unas primarias presidenciales abiertas (es decir, sin un titular) en la era moderna. Cuenta con más del 50% de apoyo en las encuestas nacionales, más que todos sus competidores juntos.Tres candidatos anteriores en primarias abiertas obtenían más de la mitad de los votos en las encuestas de la segunda mitad del año anterior...

Ex-Chiefs linebacker Frank Clark reunites with Russell Wilson in Denver

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 20:30:38 GMT

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — Frank Clark has reunited with Russell Wilson in Denver and now the outside linebacker has former teammate Patrick Mahomes in his sights instead.The 30-year-old outside linebacker signed with Denver after being jettisoned by the Kansas City Chiefs in a cost-cutting move this offseason and the Broncos are counting on him to add some oomph to their pass rush.Still in the AFC West, Clark gets two opportunities at beating his former team this season, something the Broncos haven’t done since 2015. Their 15-game skid against the Chiefs is the fourth longest by one team to a single opponent in NFL history. Unlike his reunion with Wilson, revenge and rivalry aren’t top of mind for Clark as he embraces his fresh start in the Rocky Mountains.“I wouldn’t call it a rivalry. A rivalry is competitive,” Clark interjected in his first public comments since signing a one-year, $5.5 million deal with Denver last month. “I’m (with) the Broncos now. I̵...

Mets Notebook: Team braces for future without Max Scherzer after trade to Rangers

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 20:30:38 GMT

The Mets’ blockbuster trade of Max Scherzer to the Texas Rangers left much more than a void atop the team’s rotation.Saturday night’s deal also presents new challenges for the players within the Mets’ clubhouse, manager Buck Showalter acknowledged Sunday, even though he continues to say no trade has been completed.“It’s a challenge for them and us,” Showalter said before Sunday’s game against the Washington Nationals. “I talk to them every day whether someone’s been traded or not. Sometimes it’s just sitting down in the food room. Sometimes it’s just sitting down in the locker room before the doors open. I’ve got a feel for it. There’s a lot of things that they kind of let me in on, what they’re feeling and thinking that’s certainly not public.”Showalter’s comments came the morning after Mets stars Pete Alonso and Brandon Nimmo expressed shock over the trade.Scherzer, 39, is i...

Patriots rookie DL Keion White explains early growth in training camp

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 20:30:38 GMT

FOXBORO — For a muscular, 6-foot-5 and 290-pound human being, it’s easy to overlook Keion White.During the draft, the Patriots’ sandwiched his selection in the second round by picking cornerback Christian Gonzalez and linebacker/safety Marte Mapu. Since the rookies arrived, Gonzalez and Mapu have made headlines with their performances in OTA and initial training camp practices. Meanwhile, White has been plugging away, most often with the second-team defense. He earned a would-be “sack” during competitive team drills Friday.Related ArticlesNew England Patriots | Christian Barmore returns, Patriots missing 2 rookies at training camp after first off day New England Patriots | NFL notebook: How the Patriots could extend Matt Judon, Kyle Dugger and Josh Uche on fair contracts New England Patriots | What we’ve learned through first three days of Patriots training camp New England Patriots | Source: Pa...

Column: Pressure mounts as the Chicago Cubs inch closer to a playoff spot before the trade deadline

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 20:30:38 GMT

Two moments in two days at Busch Stadium could mean the difference between the Chicago Cubs selling one or two of their biggest stars or going for broke at the trade deadline.It began when St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Miles Mikolas suffered a brain cramp and intentionally hit Ian Happ on Thursday in response to Happ accidentally hitting former teammate Willson Contreras in the head with his backswing. Had Mikolas kept his cool and not been ejected, he wouldn’t have been replaced in the first inning by Dakota Hudson, who promptly imploded in what turned into a 10-3 Cubs win.And if Cubs center fielder Mike Tauchman didn’t make a sensational, over-the-wall catch with two outs in the ninth inning Friday to rob pinch hitter Alec Burleson of a three-run home run, the Cubs would have suffered a tough, walk-off loss instead of eking out a 3-2 win.A moment of stupidity and a moment of splendor added up to two huge wins for a surging Cubs team that might not have capitalized on the...

Aaron Judge gives Yankees energy — and vote of confidence — as deadline nears: ‘I wouldn’t count us out’

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 20:30:38 GMT

BALTIMORE — With Aaron Judge leading the way in his second game back from a toe injury, the Yankees’ offense looked a lot different in Saturday’s 8-3 win over the Orioles.Giancarlo Stanton started the scoring with a solo home run in the first, and Kyle Higashioka added one of his own in the sixth. But it was Judge’s two-run homer in the third — part of a three-hit night for the reigning MVP — that had his peers in awe after the outfielder missed nearly two months.“That’s why he gets the big bucks,” said Isiah Kiner-Falefa, who ripped a three-run double in the sixth. “He’s the captain for a reason. He means everything to this organization, and you see the difference in the energy with or without [him]. Pretty self-explanatory. The fans rise up when he’s in the lineup.“I felt like when he wasn’t there, it was kind of just everybody flying open and trying to do too much.”The Yankees have been a su...

Big weekend in Baltimore could impact Yankees’ trade deadline plans

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 20:30:38 GMT

With the Aug. 1 trade deadline rapidly approaching, the Yankees, as of Thursday morning, feel they are in a position to be buyers. But with a big series in Baltimore starting on Friday, the team is taking things day-by-day.The Yankees, 54-48, entered Thursday in last place but just 2.5 games out of the American League’s third and final wild card spot. The Rays, Astros and Blue Jays all held wild card positions, while the Red Sox were 1.5 games out. The Yankees are currently exploring ways to improve, but three games against the first-place Orioles could change things before the Bombers return home for a three-game series against Tampa Bay, which overlaps with Tuesday’s deadline.Should the Yankees buy, adding outfield help makes perfect sense. They could use a left-handed bat and solid defender, especially in left field. The Cubs’ Cody Bellinger, the Rockies’ Randal Grichuk, the Cardinals’ Dylan Carlson, and the Nationals’ Lane Thomas are some of t...

By ANWARULLAH KHAN and RIAZ KHAN (Associated Press)KHAR, Pakistan (AP) — An explosion at a political rally on Pakistan’s border with Afghanistan killed at least 44 people and wounded nearly 200 in a Sunday attack that a senior leader said wanted to weaken Pakistani Islamists.The Bajur district near the Afghan border was a stronghold of the Pakistani Taliban — a close ally of Afghanistan’s Taliban government — before the Pakistani army drove the militants out of the area. Supporters of hardline Pakistani cleric and political party leader Maulana Fazlur Rehman, whose Jamiat Ulema Islam generally supports regional Islamists, were meeting in Bajur Sunday in a hall close to a market outside the district capital. Party officials said Rehman was not at the rally but organizers added tents because so many supporters showed up, and party volunteers with batons were helping control the crowd.Officials were announcing the arrival of Abdul Rasheed, a leader of the ...
