Donald Trump’s strength is clear in Florida as Gov. Ron DeSantis tries to move past ‘nonsense’

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 19:47:44 GMT

KISSIMMEE, Fla. (AP) — A booth at the Florida Republican Party’s Freedom Summit made swift business of Donald Trump merchandise on Saturday, selling everything from socks to bathtub rubber ducks that paid tribute to the former president.Vendor Peter Crotty also had Ron DeSantis T-shirts. But he discounted those items from their original $25 down to $5, an 80% discount on the Florida governor’s name. The excess inventory needed to go, Crotty said.It was just one sign of Trump’s strength and DeSantis’ challenges in the 2024 Republican primary fight. Barely two months from the first nominating ballots being cast, Trump is flaunting his advantages by trying to embarrass the governor in the two rivals’ shared home state, where party activists on Saturday cheered any mention of the former president and booed at any criticisms of the GOP 2024 front-runner. “Florida has shown the way forward for the Republican Party,” DeSantis told the crowd, drawing applause for a litany of con...

Manchester City back on top of the Premier League as Arsenal loses at Newcastle

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 19:47:44 GMT

MANCHESTER, England (AP) — The Premier League table has a familiar look about it after Manchester City blasted its way back to the top with a 6-1 rout of Bournemouth on Saturday. Arsenal’s 1-0 loss at Newcastle left the defending champions out in front, at least until Tottenham plays Chelsea on Monday.Belgium’s Jeremy Doku was in irresistible form — scoring one and creating another four goals — to help City extend its 100% record at home this season and keep the heat on Spurs. That result also put the pressure on Arsenal to win big at St. James’ Park if it was to move above City on goal difference. Instead, Anthony Gordon’s contested goal inflicted a first league defeat of the season on last year’s runner-up to leave it in third place and in danger of dropping out of the top four depending on results on Sunday. Both Liverpool and Aston Villa have the chance to move above Arsenal when they play at Luton and Nottingham Forest, respectively. Tottenham, mea...
