ANÁLISIS | Por qué los republicanos están en problemas: Trump y el tema del aborto no van a desaparecer

Published Sat, 28 Dec 2024 16:41:20 GMT

(CNN) — Donald Trump se encuentra en una posición más fuerte para ganar la nominación presidencial republicana de 2024 de lo que ha estado en meses, ya que su partido se une a él luego de su acusación por parte de un jurado investigador de Nueva York por cargos de fraude comercial.Pero los resultados reales sobre el terreno todavía sugieren que el expresidente puede no ser bueno para la marca republicana entre el electorado general.El día de la comparecencia de Trump en Manhattan el martes, Janet Protasiewicz, respaldada por los demócratas, celebró la victoria en las elecciones a la Corte Suprema de Wisconsin cuando los liberales ganaron el control de la corte superior en el último estado indeciso.Ese resultado es solo parte de una historia más amplia en la que los demócratas y los candidatos respaldados por demócratas en todo el país se han desempeñado mejor en las elecciones de este año que Joe Biden en sus estados o distritos en 2020. Y potencialmente es un buen augurio par...

Bruins, David Pastrnak hit their marks in Philly

Published Sat, 28 Dec 2024 16:41:20 GMT

Setting records is not enough for the 2022-23 Boston Bruins. They apparently have to do it in dramatic fashion.Not only did the B’s set the record for most wins in a season with their 63rd in a 5-3 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers, they rode David Pastrnak’s hat trick that gave the sniper his 58th, 59th and 60th goals of the season to get there.While the B’s leap-frogged the 1995-96 Red Wings and 2018-19 Lightning for the record, Pastrnak become the first Bruins since Phil Esposito in 1974-75 to hit reach the 60-goal plateau. Wells Fargo Arena was a fitting spot for Pastrnak, who scored his very first NHL goal there on January 10, 2015.Two points in their last two games would also give the B’s the record for points in the season, currently held by the 1976-77 Montreal Canadiens with 132, though that mark would come with a fat asterisk. That Habs team played an 80-game season and in the pre-overtime era before the extra point was available in OT.As expecte...
