Biden espera ser reelecto con la asistencia de sus amigos y aliados

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 13:00:43 GMT

Tiene 80 años. Tiene un trabajo diurno exigente. Y, para empezar, nunca fue el activista más electrizante del mundo. Para ganar la reelección, el presidente Joe Biden planea aprovechar una gran cantidad de amigos y aliados para ir a donde él no puede, decir lo que no quiere y ser lo que nunca será. Los sustitutos de campaña no son nada nuevo. William McKinley desplegó 1,400 mientras hacía campaña por la Casa Blanca en 1896 mientras saludaba principalmente a sus seguidores desde el porche delantero de su casa en Ohio. Techo de la deuda: qué incluye y qué no el principio de acuerdo Biden nomina a la experta en cáncer Monica Bertagnolli para dirigir los Institutos Nacionales de Salud Pero la incipiente campaña de reelección de Biden ha invertido temprano, incluso antes de tener una sede y antes de lo que hizo el expresidente Barack Obama en 2012, en lo que los agentes veteranos dicen que es una operación inusualmente sólida para apr...

MILAN (AP) — AC Milan secured its spot in next season’s Champions League by winning 1-0 at Juventus on Sunday — barring any off-field developments.Olivier Giroud’s goal late in the first half was enough for Milan to secure a spot in the top four in Serie A as it left the Rossoneri six points above fifth-place Atalanta with just one match remaining.Milan also moved eight points above Juventus. However, the Bianconeri could still appeal the 10-point penalty it was given for false accounting.Coming into the match, Juventus was the only side that could possibly replace Milan in the top four in the Italian league.But its hopes had imploded last week after the points deduction and a 4-1 loss at Empoli.Milan knew a point would be enough and both sides had chances before Giroud broke the deadlock, five minutes before the break, when he peeled away from his marker to head Davide Calabria’s cross into the far bottom corner.Juventus almost snatched an equalizer late on as Danilo’s volley from ...
