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

Published Wed, 12 Feb 2025 15:38:58 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 Wed, 12 Feb 2025 15:38:58 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 Wed, 12 Feb 2025 15:38:58 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...
