CONCORD, N.H. — The 2024 election cycle has officially begun, now that there are at least two major Republican candidates officially vying for the party nod in the first-in-the-nation primary.Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, arguably the second-most-popular conservative in the country, was just a few hours behind North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum in meeting with New Hampshire’s Secretary of State on Thursday to declare he would seek the Republican nomination in 2024.“Now is the time for leadership,” DeSantis said when signing, surrounded by press and supporters.“Live free or die,” he added to his signature, quoting the New Hampshire State motto.DeSantis is currently polling in second place nationally behind former President Donald Trump, a position he has maintained for months despite a slowly slipping lead in the Granite State and elsewhere. In a theoretical matchup against President Biden, the likely Democratic nominee, the former Navy JAG officer polls a few points behind or even.The Sunsh...

Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 03:54:10 GMT

JERUSALEM (AP) — The Israeli military pulverized the Gaza Strip with airstrikes, prepared for a possible ground invasion and said Thursday its complete siege of the territory — which has left Palestinians desperate for food, fuel and medicine — would remain in place until Hamas militants free some 150 hostages taken during a grisly weekend incursion.A visit by Secretary of State Antony Blinken, along with shipments of U.S. weapons, offered a powerful green light to Israel to drive ahead with its retaliation in Gaza after Hamas’ deadly attack on civilians and soldiers, even as international aid groups warned of a worsening humanitarian crisis. Israel has halted deliveries of basic necessities and electricity to Gaza’s 2.3 million people and prevented entry of supplies from Egypt.“Not a single electricity switch will be flipped on, not a single faucet will be turned on and not a single fuel truck will enter until the Israeli hostages are returned home,” Israeli Energy Minister Israel ...

BRIGHTON, Colo. (AP) — Jurors Thursday convicted a Denver-area police officer of criminally negligent homicide and 3rd-degree assault and acquitted another in the 2019 death of Elijah McClain, a Black man whose name became a rallying cry in protests over racial injustice in policing.Aurora police officer Randy Roedema was found guilty by the 12-person jury, and officer Jason Rosenblatt was found not guilty.McClain died after being put in a neck hold by a third officer and pinned to the ground, then injected by paramedics with an overdose of ketamine. The third officer and two paramedics are awaiting trial.The case initially did not receive widespread attention, but protests over the killing of George Floyd the following year sparked outrage over McClain’s death. His pleading words captured on body camera footage, “I’m an introvert and I’m different,” struck a chord.Colleen Slevin And Matthew Brown, The Associated Press
