      <title>Far-right groups that block aid to Gaza receive tax-deductible donations from US and Israel</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;JERUSALEM (AP) — Under American pressure, &lt;span class=&quot;LinkEnhancement&quot;&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement&quot; data-gtm-enhancement-style=&quot;LinkEnhancementA&quot; href=&quot;https://apnews.com/article/gaza-rafah-crime-hamas-israel-988f2919d00339ded5a18f26feafda6f&quot;&gt;Israel has pledged to deliver large quantities&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; of humanitarian aid into the war-ravaged Gaza Strip. But at the same time, the U.S. and Israel have allowed tax-deductible donations to far-right groups that have blocked that aid from being delivered.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Three groups that have prevented humanitarian aid from reaching Gaza — including one accused of looting or destroying supplies — have raised more than $200,000 from donors in the U.S. and Israel, The Associated Press and the Israeli investigative site &lt;span class=&quot;LinkEnhancement&quot;&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement&quot; data-gtm-enhancement-style=&quot;LinkEnhancementA&quot; href=&quot;http://www.shomrim.news/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;Shomrim&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; have found in an examination of crowdfunding websites and other public records.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Incentivizing these donations by making them tax-deductible runs counter to America’s and Israel’s stated commitments to allow unlimited food, water and medicine into Gaza, say groups working to &lt;span class=&quot;LinkEnhancement&quot;&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement&quot; data-gtm-enhancement-style=&quot;LinkEnhancementA&quot; href=&quot;https://apnews.com/article/israel-palestinians-gaza-war-power-usaid-humanitarian-afc82e5a17d939bd284194b0b64289d5&quot;&gt;get more aid into the territory&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;. Donations have continued even after the U.S. imposed sanctions against one of these groups.&lt;/p&gt;
        &lt;div class=&quot;SovrnAd Advertisement &quot; data-module=&quot;&quot; data-class=&quot;sovrn-story-feed&quot; data-delayadinsertion=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;By not cracking down on these groups, Israel is showing a “lack of coherence” in its Gaza aid policy, said Tania Hary, executive director of Gisha, an Israeli nonprofit that has long called on Israel to improve conditions in the territory.&lt;/p&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;“If you’re on the one hand saying you’re allowing aid in but then also facilitating the actions of groups that are blocking it, can you really say you’re facilitating aid?” she said.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Israeli officials did not respond to requests for comment. The U.S. State Department said it is committed to ensuring the delivery of aid, but had no comment on the fundraising efforts by the far-right groups.&lt;/p&gt;

        &lt;/p&gt;
        &lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;Israel has said repeatedly it does not restrict humanitarian aid and that the United Nations has failed to distribute thousands of truckloads of goods that have reached the territory. The U.N. and aid groups say deliveries have repeatedly been hampered by military operations, lawlessness inside Gaza and delays in Israeli inspections. &lt;/p&gt;
        &lt;div class=&quot;SovrnAd Advertisement &quot; data-module=&quot;&quot; data-class=&quot;sovrn-story-feed&quot; data-delayadinsertion=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;The three groups examined by AP and Shomrim have slowed the delivery of aid by blocking trucks on their way to Gaza, either by snarling traffic or simply standing in front of the main Kerem Shalom crossing into Gaza. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;While these organizations are not the primary impediment to aid shipments, they have received tacit support from some Israeli leaders. Israel’s ultranationalist minister for national security, Itamar Ben-Gvir, has said aid shipments to Gaza should be blocked and he supported the right of opponents to demonstrate, though he said it should not be done violently.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;One of the groups, Mother’s March, has raised the equivalent of over $125,000 via Givechack, an Israeli crowdfunding site, the AP and Shomrim found. The group also raised some $13,000 via JGive, a U.S. and Israeli crowdfunding site. Donations to charitable organizations are tax-deductible in Israel and the U.S.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Mother’s March does not raise the money directly. Instead, it works with an allied group called Torat Lechima that raises funds on its behalf. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Torat Lechima, whose name translates loosely as “combat doctrine,” is active in Israeli nationalist circles and works to “strengthen the Jewish identity and fighting spirit” among Israeli soldiers, according to its website. Torat Lechima continues to solicit funds for Mother’s March on the JGive site in the U.S.&lt;/p&gt;
        &lt;div class=&quot;SovrnAd Advertisement &quot; data-module=&quot;&quot; data-class=&quot;sovrn-story-feed&quot; data-delayadinsertion=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;Until it was sanctioned last month, a third group, Tzav 9, raised over $85,000 from close to 1,500 donors in the U.S. and Israel via JGive. JGive said that donations made to Tzav 9 were frozen even before the sanctions were imposed and not delivered to the group.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;All three groups, which have ties with Israel’s ultranationalist far right, say Israel should not be aiding the Palestinians as long as Hamas is holding dozens of people hostage. They also claim that Hamas is stealing much of the aid, though aid groups have disputed that.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“No to ‘humanitarian’ aid that grants fuel to the enemy who kills us! No to the hundreds of trucks that pass every day through Kerem Shalom – and drag out the war!” Mother’s March said in a recent crowdfunding campaign. It said the funds were needed for demonstrations, shuttles, printing materials and publicity campaigns.&lt;/p&gt;
        &lt;div class=&quot;SovrnAd Advertisement &quot; data-module=&quot;&quot; data-class=&quot;sovrn-story-feed&quot; data-delayadinsertion=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;Hundreds of activists set up tents at Kerem Shalom for several nights in early February to stop the delivery of aid. The head of Mother’s March, Sima Hasson, was briefly detained by Israeli police in January after temporarily blocking trucks. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Israeli news reports have shown large convoys of cars blocking aid trucks from traveling on Israeli highways, as well as activists looting trucks and destroying supplies. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In its sanctions order, the White House accused Tzav 9 of violently blocking roads, damaging aid trucks and dumping supplies on the road. It said in May that Tzav 9 members looted and set fire to two trucks in the West Bank carrying aid destined for Gaza. Last week, the White House imposed sanctions on the group’s co-founders.&lt;/p&gt;
        &lt;div class=&quot;SovrnAd Advertisement &quot; data-module=&quot;&quot; data-class=&quot;sovrn-story-feed&quot; data-delayadinsertion=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;Israeli police, who fall under the authority of Ben-Gvir, have made few arrests, though the group appears to have stopped its activities in recent weeks.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Tzav 9 defended its actions as “within the framework of the law, in a democratic protest.” It called the sanctions from the U.S. “anti-democratic intervention.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Neither Mother’s March nor Torat Lechima responded to requests for comment.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Israel launched its offensive in Gaza in response to the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas, which killed roughly 1,200 people and took 250 others hostage. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The offensive has killed over 38,000 Palestinians, according to local health authorities, and unleashed a humanitarian crisis in the densely populated territory. Over 80% of the population is displaced, and international officials say hundreds of thousands of people are on the &lt;span class=&quot;LinkEnhancement&quot;&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement&quot; data-gtm-enhancement-style=&quot;LinkEnhancementA&quot; href=&quot;https://apnews.com/article/israel-hamas-war-palestinians-hunger-famine-42e404ec4ef3e2836a82a8d2b2315fd1&quot;&gt;brink of famine&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Two international courts have accused Israel of &lt;span class=&quot;LinkEnhancement&quot;&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement&quot; data-gtm-enhancement-style=&quot;LinkEnhancementA&quot; href=&quot;https://apnews.com/article/icc-khan-netanyahu-070941d21ccd1f2b9611032b88527575&quot;&gt;war crimes&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; and &lt;span class=&quot;LinkEnhancement&quot;&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement&quot; data-gtm-enhancement-style=&quot;LinkEnhancementA&quot; href=&quot;https://apnews.com/article/israel-gaza-palestinians-court-ceasefire-01d093d21a1eadaa31af5708cf1cbf38&quot;&gt;genocide&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; – charges Israel denies as it pledges to keep the aid flowing into Gaza. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Those who violate the sanctions against Tsav 9 could have their assets frozen or face travel and visa bans. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It’s unclear how effective these sanctions will be. Extremist Israeli settlers in the West Bank say similar U.S. sanctions imposed on them have had little effect, in part because Israeli leaders &lt;span class=&quot;LinkEnhancement&quot;&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement&quot; data-gtm-enhancement-style=&quot;LinkEnhancementA&quot; href=&quot;https://apnews.com/article/us-sanctions-israeli-settlers-west-bank-palestinians-354f8b0a44b70c25bf013614b4775900&quot;&gt;helped circumvent them&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office declined comment. The Justice Ministry, which regulates nonprofits, said it would investigate but had no further comment.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;JGive said it complies with Israeli laws. In addition to freezing Tzav 9’s donations, it noted that the Mother’s March campaign ended over four months ago.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The U.S. State Department said it has urged Israel to ensure aid safely reaches Gaza and to punish those who try to block it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“The targeting of aid trucks by violent extremist settlers is unacceptable, and we’ve made that clear to the government of Israel,” it said. It declined comment on the groups’ fundraising efforts.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hary, of the Israeli activist group Gisha, noted that the efforts of Mother’s March and Tzav 9 appear to have quieted down in recent weeks. But as they continue to seek donors, she said they could resume activities at any moment.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“They’re getting signals from various places in the government that Gaza should be completely cut off,” she said.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;___&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;AP correspondent Julia Frankel contributed reporting from Jerusalem.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Trump’s escape from disaster by mere inches reveals a tiny margin with seismic impact</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;NEW YORK (AP) — Jarring, chaotic and sudden, the bullet whizzed toward the stage where former President Donald Trump stood behind a podium speaking. In its wake: the potential for a horrifying and tragic chapter in American history.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But the Republican presidential candidate had a narrow escape — mere inches, possibly less — in &lt;span class=&quot;LinkEnhancement&quot;&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement&quot; data-gtm-enhancement-style=&quot;LinkEnhancementA&quot; href=&quot;https://apnews.com/article/trump-rally-shooting-butler-police-cdfd3f4b163f7f91b05eeefe21caa45a&quot;&gt;Saturday’s assassination attempt&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;. The projectile &lt;span class=&quot;LinkEnhancement&quot;&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement&quot; data-gtm-enhancement-style=&quot;LinkEnhancementA&quot; href=&quot;https://apnews.com/article/trump-assassination-attempt-crooks-what-to-know-1f168acc452a55e1c5d5f748aa2bbc8d&quot;&gt;from the shooter&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; on a nearby rooftop left Trump with just a bloodied right ear, initially shaken but otherwise unharmed as he dropped down and Secret Service swarmed, his campaign continuing as the &lt;span class=&quot;LinkEnhancement&quot;&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement&quot; data-gtm-enhancement-style=&quot;LinkEnhancementA&quot; href=&quot;https://apnews.com/article/trump-republican-national-convention-58c09e396b79751c44baed14a1b432a8&quot;&gt;Republican National Convention got underway&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A tiny margin for survival, with a potentially seismic impact. And an unforgettable example of something many were talking about Monday — a hard truth about the events that shape us, our daily lives, and our society: &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sometimes, it’s all about chance, about circumstances falling in one direction and not another, about interventions in the nick of time or missteps that allow for disruption. &lt;/p&gt;
        &lt;div class=&quot;SovrnAd Advertisement &quot; data-module=&quot;&quot; data-class=&quot;sovrn-story-feed&quot; data-delayadinsertion=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;Sometimes history can come down to inches. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Near misses and the hinge of history&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;It’s a truth that often gets obscured as we look over dates, places, people and events with the perspective of hindsight and blanket media coverage. The past gets covered with a patina of inevitability — as if it could have only occurred the way it did.&lt;/p&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;But “what just happened to us is a kind of humbling lesson about how contingent all of this is,” says Susan Schulten, a history professor at the University of Denver. “And nothing’s foreordained.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;Infobox&quot; data-module=&quot;&quot; data-gtm-region=&quot;What to know about the 2024 Election Democracy: American democracy has overcome big stress tests since 2020.

        &lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;No matter what, of course, there will be fallout and an impact from the attempted assassination of Trump on Saturday at a Pennsylvania rally, where an attendee was killed and two others wounded, and law enforcement killed the shooter. But what it will be, in this election year and in the years to come, will unfold differently than it would have in an America where events had gone differently.&lt;/p&gt;

        &lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;History is filled with examples of chance, randomness or luck playing a part in how things turn out, says Mark Rank, a professor of social welfare at Washington University in St. Louis and author of “The Random Factor: How Chance and Luck Profoundly Shape Our Lives and the World around Us.”&lt;/p&gt;
        &lt;div class=&quot;SovrnAd Advertisement &quot; data-module=&quot;&quot; data-class=&quot;sovrn-story-feed&quot; data-delayadinsertion=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;In his book, he recounts an incident during the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962, when a submarine from what was then the Soviet Union came close to firing a nuclear-tipped torpedo at U.S. forces out of a belief it was being attacked. But a circumstantial delay in getting the order carried out allowed enough time for another officer to recognize that wasn’t the case.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There are plenty of other moments where there can be endless “what-if” discussions, from assassinations of figures like Abraham Lincoln and John and Robert Kennedy to other attempted killings such as the attack on President Ronald Reagan in 1981, two months after he assumed the presidency.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It’s also events like the Sept. 11 attacks in 2001, Rank points out, when there were ordinary people who “missed their subway connection or were late or were early and just missed being killed in that disaster, whereas other folks were not as lucky.”&lt;/p&gt;

        &lt;h2&gt;Trying to find meaning&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;Often, people respond to events like these by trying to make sense of them through a belief in coherence — to summon some kind of universal meaning, or divine plan. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;That’s because people want a sense of control, says Daryl Van Tongeren, a professor of psychology at Hope College in Michigan. It’s too unnerving, he says, to admit that life is random and chance-filled. “It’s safer for us to think that we can just control everything that happens.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And in the United States of America, where part of the national mythology is the idea that we are masters of our own destinies — that we can pull ourselves up by our own efforts — the idea of randomness can land as particularly unnerving, Rank says.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“In the United States, we’re really steeped in the idea of rugged individualism and self-reliance and meritocracy and you do it on your own, and you’re in control, and you have agency,” he says. “And to some extent, we are in control. We do make decisions. But another aspect of life is that ... there are things that happen to you that you have no control over.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“That’s kind of unsettling,” he says. “But that’s the way life plays out. That’s the world.”&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>RNC day 2: What to watch</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;MILWAUKEE (AP) — The Republican National Convention heads into its second day Tuesday in Milwaukee — now with &lt;span class=&quot;LinkEnhancement&quot;&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement&quot; data-gtm-enhancement-style=&quot;LinkEnhancementA&quot; href=&quot;https://apnews.com/hub/donald-trump&quot;&gt;Donald Trump&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; officially as its presidential nominee.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Trump energized the crowd Monday night by entering the arena with a bandage on his right ear after being injured during an &lt;span class=&quot;LinkEnhancement&quot;&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement&quot; data-gtm-enhancement-style=&quot;LinkEnhancementA&quot; href=&quot;https://apnews.com/article/trump-assassination-attempt-thomas-matthew-crooks-shooter-881581c46c07025898027143fc9132e5&quot;&gt;assassination attempt&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; Saturday. Expect more speakers Tuesday to mention what they described as the former president’s strength and resilience after the shooting at his rally in Pennsylvania. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;Infobox&quot; data-module=&quot;&quot; data-gtm-region=&quot;What to know: Meet Trump&#39;s VP pick: Sen.

When is Trump speaking?: The former president is expected to give his nomination acceptance speech Thursday.

As is tradition for vice presidential picks, Vance is expected to take the stage on Wednesday night.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;That will likely include Nikki Haley, a onetime primary rival who was a last-minute addition to the schedule. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Here’s what to watch for on the second day of the &lt;span class=&quot;LinkEnhancement&quot;&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement&quot; data-gtm-enhancement-style=&quot;LinkEnhancementA&quot; href=&quot;https://apnews.com/projects/election-2024-our-very-complicated-democracy/political-conventions-purpose-us-elections-episode-5.html&quot;&gt;RNC&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Nikki Haley will speak on Tuesday&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The former United Nations ambassador and South Carolina governor was the last major rival against Trump in this year’s primary contest. She &lt;span class=&quot;LinkEnhancement&quot;&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement&quot; data-gtm-enhancement-style=&quot;LinkEnhancementA&quot; href=&quot;https://apnews.com/article/nikki-haley-endorses-trump-election-2024-president-72cd80b03d0cd6f69601a0c6166194a5&quot;&gt;waited two months after dropping out in March&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; to say she would vote for him. Then last week, she &lt;span class=&quot;LinkEnhancement&quot;&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement&quot; data-gtm-enhancement-style=&quot;LinkEnhancementA&quot; href=&quot;https://apnews.com/article/nikki-haley-donald-trump-delegates-republicans-rnc-2024-263978b78aadd1d4bbd043df23fc8e39&quot;&gt;announced&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; she would instruct her convention delegates to vote for Trump but wasn’t planning to attend the convention. &lt;/p&gt;
        &lt;div class=&quot;SovrnAd Advertisement &quot; data-module=&quot;&quot; data-class=&quot;sovrn-story-feed&quot; data-delayadinsertion=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It wasn’t until Sunday — hours after the shooting — that her office reversed itself and said she would speak. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It’s likely that she will call on her party to show cohesion in the face of this fall’s general election battle against President Joe Biden.&lt;/p&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Immigration will be in the spotlight&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Many of the speeches Monday focused on economic policies and claims that Biden had mishandled the economy.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;On Tuesday, the overview shifts to immigration and crime, according to Trump’s campaign and the Republican National Committee, with the theme of “Make America Safe Once Again.” &lt;/p&gt;

        &lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Be on the lookout for speakers to argue that they have been damaged by Biden-era immigration policies. Trump and Republicans believe the border debate is among their strongest issues.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As part of a broader attempt to blame crime on border policies, expect speeches from family members of slain people in cases where immigrants in the U.S. illegally face criminal charges. Trump has repeatedly brought up the issue at rallies this year.&lt;/p&gt;

        &lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Last week, the Trump campaign and the RNC announced that the brother of Rachel Morin — a Maryland woman whom prosecutors say was killed and raped by a fugitive from El Salvador — would be one of the speakers at the convention. Officials say the suspect, Victor Antonio Martinez Hernandez, entered the U.S. illegally after allegedly killing a woman in his home country. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;He was arrested last month in Oklahoma and charged with first-degree murder and rape in Morin’s death. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;Infobox&quot; data-module=&quot;&quot; data-gtm-region=&quot;What to know about the 2024 Election Democracy: American democracy has overcome big stress tests since 2020.

He had canceled a planned Monday trip to Texas and his reelection campaign temporarily suspended its television ads after Saturday’s shooting. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;He will address the NAACP convention in Las Vegas on Tuesday, conduct an interview with the BET network and participate in an economic summit with Rep. Steven Horsford, chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus.&lt;/p&gt;

        &lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As the RNC got underway, Biden had his own slice of the prime-time spotlight Monday. In an interview with Lester Holt on NBC, Biden called it a “mistake” to say he wanted to put a “bull’s-eye” on Trump, but argued that the rhetoric from his opponent was more incendiary, while warning that Trump remained a threat to democratic institutions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Those remarks from Biden came during a private call with donors last week as the Democrat had been scrambling to shore up his imperiled candidacy with key party constituencies. During that conversation, Biden declared that he was “done” talking about his poor debate performance and that it was “time to put Trump in the bull’s-eye,” saying Trump has gotten far too little scrutiny on his stances, rhetoric and lack of campaigning.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;___&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Associated Press writer Adriana Gomez Licon in Milwaukee contributed to this report.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;___&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Meg Kinnard can be reached at &lt;span class=&quot;LinkEnhancement&quot;&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement&quot; data-gtm-enhancement-style=&quot;LinkEnhancementA&quot; href=&quot;http://twitter.com/MegKinnardAP&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;http://twitter.com/MegKinnardAP&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Trump’s grand RNC entrance, a VP pick and the new GOP: Takeaways from day 1</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;MILWAUKEE (AP) — Trump-Vance 2024.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Republican presidential ticket came together on Monday when &lt;span class=&quot;LinkEnhancement&quot;&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement&quot; data-gtm-enhancement-style=&quot;LinkEnhancementA&quot; href=&quot;https://apnews.com/hub/donald-trump&quot;&gt;Donald Trump&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; named &lt;span class=&quot;LinkEnhancement&quot;&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement&quot; data-gtm-enhancement-style=&quot;LinkEnhancementA&quot; href=&quot;https://apnews.com/hub/jd-vance&quot;&gt;JD Vance&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; as his &lt;span class=&quot;LinkEnhancement&quot;&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement&quot; data-gtm-enhancement-style=&quot;LinkEnhancementA&quot; href=&quot;https://apnews.com/article/trump-vice-president-vance-rubio-burgum-rnc-6cc438a8370a21b2631f5a53b06b71d0&quot;&gt;running mate&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;. In turning to the 39-year-old Ohio senator, the Republican nominee injected new energy into a campaign that has centered in recent weeks on questions of age following President Joe Biden’s disastrous debate performance.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Republican National Convention opened less than 48 hours after Trump was the subject of a shocking assassination attempt in Pennsylvania. The shooting, which left Trump injured and one man dead, loomed over the convention with speakers expressing gratitude for the former president’s survival and resolved to win back the White House in November.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Here are some takeaways from the &lt;span class=&quot;LinkEnhancement&quot;&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement&quot; data-gtm-enhancement-style=&quot;LinkEnhancementA&quot; href=&quot;https://apnews.com/live/rnc-day-1-trump-biden-election-updates&quot;&gt;first day of the convention&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Trump made a powerful entrance&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;Just two days after a gunman tried to kill him, Trump walked into the convention hall with a bandage over his injured right ear as the singer Lee Greewood performed “God Bless the USA,” a regular feature of the former president’s rallies. Trump waved to the crowd and pumped his fist in the air, a regular gesture that has taken on new meaning after he made a similar motion from the stage as Secret Service agents whisked him to safety on Saturday.&lt;/p&gt;
        &lt;div class=&quot;SovrnAd Advertisement &quot; data-module=&quot;&quot; data-class=&quot;sovrn-story-feed&quot; data-delayadinsertion=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;The crowd stood and cheered with delight at the sight of their nominee. Trump, who is rarely left without words, made no formal comments. But the sight of him said plenty, offering a palpable reminder of the former president’s narrow miss from tragedy. &lt;/p&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;He then greeted his family before taking a seat between Vance and commentator Tucker Carlson.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;The GOP’s Trump-era evolution was on full display&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;Infobox&quot; data-module=&quot;&quot; data-gtm-region=&quot;What to know about the 2024 Election Democracy: American democracy has overcome big stress tests since 2020.

        &lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;Senate Republican Leader &lt;span class=&quot;LinkEnhancement&quot;&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement&quot; data-gtm-enhancement-style=&quot;LinkEnhancementA&quot; href=&quot;https://apnews.com/hub/mitch-mcconnell&quot;&gt;Mitch McConnell&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; is arguably responsible for the GOP’s biggest policy accomplishments, particularly in installing conservative judges at all levels of the judiciary. But that didn’t matter much to the Trump-friendly crowd at the RNC, which greeted the Kentucky Republican with boos — a tangible rejection of someone demonized as an establishment Republican who has insufficiently supported the former president.&lt;/p&gt;

        &lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;Just a short while later, Vance enjoyed a much different reception. The second-youngest U.S. senator — and the first millennial to appear on a major party ticket — received raucous applause when he walked onto the convention floor for the first time as Trump’s running mate. &lt;/p&gt;
        &lt;div class=&quot;SovrnAd Advertisement &quot; data-module=&quot;&quot; data-class=&quot;sovrn-story-feed&quot; data-delayadinsertion=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;The dueling moments offered a window into the changes that have swept the GOP under Trump — bookending an era in which McConnell has gone from one of his party’s most powerful leaders and incisive tacticians to getting jeered on the convention floor by his own party’s activists.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Stylistically, McConnell and Vance couldn’t be much more different. Vance, an outspoken MAGA warrior, is one of Trump’s chief acolytes. McConnell, meanwhile, has an understated demeanor while his political sensibilities are rooted in the GOP of Ronald Reagan.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Without McConnell, however, the 39-year-old Vance’s political rise might not have been possible.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Two years ago, Vance was struggling to raise money and up against a well-funded Democratic opponent. McConnell’s super PAC swept in with more than $30 million in advertising spending.&lt;/p&gt;
        &lt;div class=&quot;SovrnAd Advertisement &quot; data-module=&quot;&quot; data-class=&quot;sovrn-story-feed&quot; data-delayadinsertion=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;Vance won and began his climb to prominence. McConnell, now in the twilight of his political career, will step down as the GOP’s Senate leader in November.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Unions are the GOP’s new friend?&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;For decades, Democrats have been the party of labor unions, while Republicans have been outwardly hostile to them.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But on the opening night of the RNC, Trump threw the doors of the convention open to International Brotherhood of Teamsters President Sean O’Brien, who delivered the final speech of the night and singled out both major political parties for not doing enough for working people.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If it seems unusual for a president of a major labor union to address a major gathering of Republicans, that’s because it is. For decades the party has pushed anti-labor laws intended to curtail the ability of unions to organize.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But in his speech, which wasn’t always warmly received by Republicans in attendance, O’Brien said workers are being taken for granted and sold out to big banks, big tech, the corporate elite, as well as both parties in Washington.&lt;/p&gt;
        &lt;div class=&quot;SovrnAd Advertisement &quot; data-module=&quot;&quot; data-class=&quot;sovrn-story-feed&quot; data-delayadinsertion=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;His speech amounted to criticism of Biden, who often likes to boast that he’s “the most pro-union president in history.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As Trump continues to scramble American politics and position himself as a champion of working people, O’Brien appeared to be making clear that Democrats shouldn’t take labor for granted.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“We are not beholden to anyone or any party,” O’Brien said.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Republicans spoke of unity — but leaned into hot-button social issues&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;The first night of the RNC was supposed to be about the economy, with the goal of uniting voters of all ideological persuasions who are frustrated by high prices. But some of the biggest applause lines came from harsh criticisms of transgender people.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It’s a reminder that cultural issues motivate the GOP base as much as financial ones. A trio of speakers unabashedly went after Democrats who have sought greater acceptance for transgender people. Of particular outrage to Republicans this year was Biden marking Transgender Day of Visibility. It happened to overlap with Easter in 2024, a byproduct of the Christian holiday being based off the lunar calendar.&lt;/p&gt;
        &lt;div class=&quot;SovrnAd Advertisement &quot; data-module=&quot;&quot; data-class=&quot;sovrn-story-feed&quot; data-delayadinsertion=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;To many in the LGBTQ+ community, it was a coincidence. But to many Republicans, it was an insult.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“They promised normalcy and gave us Transgender Visibility Day on Easter Sunday,” said Rep. &lt;span class=&quot;LinkEnhancement&quot;&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement&quot; data-gtm-enhancement-style=&quot;LinkEnhancementA&quot; href=&quot;https://apnews.com/hub/marjorie-taylor-greene&quot;&gt;Marjorie Taylor Greene&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;. “And let me state this clearly, there are only two genders.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Other Republicans sought to make the issue a matter of fairness. Their argument was that it’s wrong to ask “girls” to compete against transgender athletes. The Biden administration proposed a rule in April that would prevent schools and colleges from enacting outright bans on transgender athletes, a rule that was quickly challenged in court.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sen. &lt;span class=&quot;LinkEnhancement&quot;&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement&quot; data-gtm-enhancement-style=&quot;LinkEnhancementA&quot; href=&quot;https://apnews.com/hub/ronald-johnson&quot;&gt;Ron Johnson&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, R-Wis., said at the convention it was all part of a “fringe agenda” that “includes biological males competing against girls.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Rep. John James, R-Mich., tried to equate it to part of a broader critique of Democrats, saying that they promised to offer the country hope and had failed. “Our daughters were sold on hope, and now they’re being forced on the playing fields and changing rooms with biological males,” James said.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Republicans hit Biden hard on inflation &lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;To hear Republicans tell it, inflation had crushed the U.S. economy and it’s all Biden’s fault.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The argument is a key message for voters who may have doubts about Trump’s ethics but still trust his economic judgment. None of the speeches at the convention offered much of a detailed explanation as to why prices went up. That would require acknowledging the broken supply chains after the pandemic as well as how Russia’s invasion of Ukraine pushed up food and energy costs. But Biden pushed through $1.9 trillion in pandemic aid and the GOP argued that Americans have suffered as a result by paying more for groceries and gasoline.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This was all about taking the troubling inflation data and ignoring the positives in the economy such as a strong job market and solid growth as the economy has recovered.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“So many American families have to live with so much less,” said Sen. Katie Britt, R-Ala. “This is too high a price to pay for an administration that has brought us to such lows.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But how would the GOP fix inflation?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The speakers never really gave a plan, other than simply returning Trump to the White House.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Severe storms with tornadoes whip through Midwest, cutting power to nearly half a million</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;CHICAGO (AP) — Storms spawning multiple tornadoes blew through Iowa, Illinois — including Chicago — and Indiana, Monday downing trees and power poles and cutting power to more than 460,000 customers and businesses. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The National Weather Service confirmed that a tornado hit Des Moines, Iowa, as storms rolled through Monday afternoon and into the night. Des Moines police were responding to calls about utility poles that had apparently snapped in two. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The storms then moved east into northern Illinois, including the Chicago area, which saw multiple tornado warnings, wind and drenching rain. Multiple tornadoes were reported along the line of storms that moved through the city, according to the National Weather Service. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Nearly 390,000 customers were left without power in northern Illinois alone, according to poweroutage.us.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The National Weather Service in Chicago had to take cover for a time and later reported extensive damage in the city. &lt;/p&gt;

        &lt;p&gt;A flash flood warning also was issued in the Chicago area into early Tuesday. Flooding was expected in creeks, streams, drainage ditches, streets and underpasses as rain continued Monday night. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Storms moved into Indiana and Michigan later Monday night, prompting additional alerts including multiple tornado warnings in Indiana.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Conservative group defends its Project 2025 guidebook as Democrats ramp up critiques</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;MILWAUKEE (AP) — At the edge of the cordoned-off perimeter around the Republican National Convention on Monday, hundreds of conservatives filed into the ornate home of the Milwaukee Symphony to hear a parade of luminaries talk policy and Project 2025.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Project 2025 is the term for the Heritage Foundation’s nearly 1,000-page &lt;span class=&quot;LinkEnhancement&quot;&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement&quot; data-gtm-enhancement-style=&quot;LinkEnhancementA&quot; href=&quot;https://apnews.com/article/election-2024-conservatives-trump-heritage-857eb794e505f1c6710eb03fd5b58981&quot;&gt;handbook for the next Republican administration&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, which has become a cudgel Democrats are wielding against former President Donald Trump, who on Monday officially became the GOP’s presidential nominee. That’s because the book proposes sweeping changes in the federal government, including altering personnel rules to ensure government workers &lt;span class=&quot;LinkEnhancement&quot;&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement&quot; data-gtm-enhancement-style=&quot;LinkEnhancementA&quot; href=&quot;https://apnews.com/article/trump-biden-president-project-2025-33d3fc2999a74f4aa424f1128dca2d16&quot;&gt;are more loyal&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; to the president.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Heritage event was called “Policy Fest” and was not technically part of Project 2025, but the endeavor constantly came up. Speakers both downplayed it and pumped it up. Heritage’s President Kevin Roberts called it “unprecedented in the history of the conservative movement,” but also tried to tone down his rhetoric from earlier this month when he promised it would lead to &lt;span class=&quot;LinkEnhancement&quot;&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement&quot; data-gtm-enhancement-style=&quot;LinkEnhancementA&quot; href=&quot;https://apnews.com/article/project-2025-trump-american-revolution-6e02a297fb91b55de01ba7e86615bb08&quot;&gt;a “second American revolution.”&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

        &lt;p&gt;“How many of you are ready to very steadily, calmly and peacefully take our country back?” Roberts asked the crowd Monday.&lt;/p&gt;

He said Washington think tanks often prepare plans for new administrations — and indeed, Heritage’s project is modeled on prior ones it has done stretching back decades.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;Infobox&quot; data-module=&quot;&quot; data-gtm-region=&quot;What to know about the 2024 Election Democracy: American democracy has overcome big stress tests since 2020.

      <title>JD Vance is a relative political unknown. He’s been asked to help Donald Trump avenge his loss</title>

Already, a collection of political foes — Democrats and Republicans — is working to fill the void by seizing on Vance’s inexperience in government, his nationalist views and his critical comments about Trump himself.&lt;/p&gt;
        &lt;div class=&quot;SovrnAd Advertisement &quot; data-module=&quot;&quot; data-class=&quot;sovrn-story-feed&quot; data-delayadinsertion=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;“I’m not sure he helps him in the campaign,” said veteran Republican pollster Neil Newhouse, suggesting Vance may be better positioned to help Trump enact his agenda on Capitol Hill if given the chance. “He’s not that well-known even in Ohio. ... This isn’t a campaign pick. It’s a policy pick, a governing pick.” &lt;/p&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;Republican strategist Kellyanne Conway, who served as Trump’s chief counselor while in the White House, had encouraged Trump to pick a different running mate in the weeks leading up to his announcement. Privately, she believed that Florida Sen. Marco Rubio or Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin would do more to help Trump win. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;Infobox&quot; data-module=&quot;&quot; data-gtm-region=&quot;What to know about the 2024 Election Democracy: American democracy has overcome big stress tests since 2020.

        &lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;Vance, who quickly developed a reputation as a MAGA firebrand in his short time on Capitol Hill, earned modest applause when he entered the packed convention hall for the first time Monday as Trump’s running mate. The Republican senator posed for selfies, shook hands and signed posters. Later in the night, the crowd was more excited as he greeted Trump — who entered the room with a bandage covering his right ear, injured in Saturday’s assassination attempt — for the ticket’s first public appearance.&lt;/p&gt;

        &lt;/p&gt;
        &lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;Recent polling confirms the notion that most voters don’t know Vance. &lt;/p&gt;
        &lt;div class=&quot;SovrnAd Advertisement &quot; data-module=&quot;&quot; data-class=&quot;sovrn-story-feed&quot; data-delayadinsertion=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;Just 13% of registered voters said they had a favorable opinion of Vance with 20% an unfavorable one, according to a &lt;span class=&quot;LinkEnhancement&quot;&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement&quot; data-gtm-enhancement-style=&quot;LinkEnhancementA&quot; href=&quot;https://www.cnn.com/2024/07/02/politics/cnn-poll-post-debate/index.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;CNN poll&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; conducted in late June. The majority said they had never heard of him or had no opinion.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Trump’s vice-presidential pick is arguably the most important decision of his 2024 campaign. Vance, who is literally half the 78-year-old Trump’s age, and has the least political experience on a short list that included Rubio and North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sensing an opportunity, Trump’s critics in both parties quickly went after him.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“Almost any other choice might have expanded the map for them, but Trump needed a candidate who looked like him, talked like him, and thought like him. He needed a candidate who would grovel,” former New Hampshire Republican Party chair Jennifer Horn wrote on X. “JD Vance was the least experienced, least qualified, most obsequious, psychopathic, servile candidate on the list.”&lt;/p&gt;
        &lt;div class=&quot;SovrnAd Advertisement &quot; data-module=&quot;&quot; data-class=&quot;sovrn-story-feed&quot; data-delayadinsertion=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;But Trump made up his own mind based on a different set of criteria. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Trump especially liked Vance’s performance on television, where he has become a fixture on conservative media. The former president also likes Vance’s looks, saying he reminded him of “a young Abraham Lincoln.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Trump is also hopeful Vance can draw from his life story growing up in Appalachia to help appeal to Midwestern voters. Vance has experienced poverty and addiction up close in a way that is uncommon among leading Republican officials.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Vance also had another advantage: his chemistry with Trump. The first-term senator has developed a strong rapport with Trump, his son Donald Trump Jr. and leading MAGA figures during his recent rise in Republican politics. &lt;/p&gt;
        &lt;div class=&quot;SovrnAd Advertisement &quot; data-module=&quot;&quot; data-class=&quot;sovrn-story-feed&quot; data-delayadinsertion=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;Vance is an Ivy League-educated author, former Marine and businessman. He is known for his aggressive questioning of Biden administration officials.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Biden’s campaign hosted a conference call Monday denouncing the pick, focusing especially on his limited record on abortion and the economy and his support for Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Vance &lt;span class=&quot;LinkEnhancement&quot;&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement&quot; data-gtm-enhancement-style=&quot;LinkEnhancementA&quot; href=&quot;https://apnews.com/article/2022-midterm-elections-abortion-tim-ryan-biden-6b00b57614dff12903d4228e74c37ac8&quot;&gt;previously said&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; he would support a national abortion ban at 15 weeks of pregnancy. He also said he &lt;span class=&quot;LinkEnhancement&quot;&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement&quot; data-gtm-enhancement-style=&quot;LinkEnhancementA&quot; href=&quot;https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/jd-vance-defends-trump-claims-invoking-jean-carroll/story?id=106925954&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;would not have voted&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; to certify the 2020 election results, as former Vice President Mike Pence did over Trump’s objections. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“I will certainly take that matchup any day of the week and twice on Sunday,” said Jen O’Malley Dillon, the Biden campaign chairwoman. “Because while Trump and Vance have an agenda focused on themselves and their wealthy donor friends, President Biden and Vice President Harris are fighting for the American people.”&lt;/p&gt;
        &lt;div class=&quot;SovrnAd Advertisement &quot; data-module=&quot;&quot; data-class=&quot;sovrn-story-feed&quot; data-delayadinsertion=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;One of Biden’s greatest assets in his campaign against Vance might be what Vance previously said about Trump. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;During the early stages of Trump’s political career, &lt;span class=&quot;LinkEnhancement&quot;&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement&quot; data-gtm-enhancement-style=&quot;LinkEnhancementA&quot; href=&quot;https://apnews.com/article/trump-rubio-vance-burgum-scott-stefanik-vp-11ec39b0da11152ad110ff987d4eaeee&quot;&gt;Vance cast Trump&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; as “a total fraud,” “a moral disaster” and “America’s Hitler.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“If you go back and listen to the things that JD Vance said about Trump ... he said some things about me, but see what he said about Trump,” Biden told NBC’s Lester Holt in an interview Monday.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Vivek Ramaswamy, once considered a potential Trump running mate as well, described Vance as “a major asset” on the ticket whose evolution on Trump would ultimately help him connect with swing voters. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“He’s also somebody who can say, ‘You know what, in 2016, I may not have voted for Donald Trump either, but here’s why I am with him to the fullest today,’” Ramaswamy said. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But for now, Vance joins the Trump presidential ticket as a mystery to many voters and elected officials alike. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp said Vance was one of the few vice-presidential prospects that he “really haven’t crossed paths with.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“I don’t know that much about him,” Kemp said.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;___&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;Associated Press writers Seung Min Kim in Washington and Bill Barrow and Jill Colvin in Milwaukee contributed to this report.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>RNC day 2: What to watch</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;MILWAUKEE (AP) — The Republican National Convention heads into its second day Tuesday in Milwaukee — now with &lt;span class=&quot;LinkEnhancement&quot;&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement&quot; data-gtm-enhancement-style=&quot;LinkEnhancementA&quot; href=&quot;https://apnews.com/hub/donald-trump&quot;&gt;Donald Trump&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; officially as its presidential nominee.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Trump energized the crowd Monday night by entering the arena with a bandage on his right ear after being injured during an &lt;span class=&quot;LinkEnhancement&quot;&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement&quot; data-gtm-enhancement-style=&quot;LinkEnhancementA&quot; href=&quot;https://apnews.com/article/trump-assassination-attempt-thomas-matthew-crooks-shooter-881581c46c07025898027143fc9132e5&quot;&gt;assassination attempt&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; Saturday. Expect more speakers Tuesday to mention what they described as the former president’s strength and resilience after the shooting at his rally in Pennsylvania. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;Infobox&quot; data-module=&quot;&quot; data-gtm-region=&quot;What to know: Meet Trump&#39;s VP pick: Sen.

        &lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;That will likely include Nikki Haley, a onetime primary rival who was a last-minute addition to the schedule. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Here’s what to watch for on the second day of the &lt;span class=&quot;LinkEnhancement&quot;&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement&quot; data-gtm-enhancement-style=&quot;LinkEnhancementA&quot; href=&quot;https://apnews.com/projects/election-2024-our-very-complicated-democracy/political-conventions-purpose-us-elections-episode-5.html&quot;&gt;RNC&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Nikki Haley will speak on Tuesday&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The former United Nations ambassador and South Carolina governor was the last major rival against Trump in this year’s primary contest. She &lt;span class=&quot;LinkEnhancement&quot;&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement&quot; data-gtm-enhancement-style=&quot;LinkEnhancementA&quot; href=&quot;https://apnews.com/article/nikki-haley-endorses-trump-election-2024-president-72cd80b03d0cd6f69601a0c6166194a5&quot;&gt;waited two months after dropping out in March&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; to say she would vote for him. Then last week, she &lt;span class=&quot;LinkEnhancement&quot;&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement&quot; data-gtm-enhancement-style=&quot;LinkEnhancementA&quot; href=&quot;https://apnews.com/article/nikki-haley-donald-trump-delegates-republicans-rnc-2024-263978b78aadd1d4bbd043df23fc8e39&quot;&gt;announced&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; she would instruct her convention delegates to vote for Trump but wasn’t planning to attend the convention. &lt;/p&gt;
        &lt;div class=&quot;SovrnAd Advertisement &quot; data-module=&quot;&quot; data-class=&quot;sovrn-story-feed&quot; data-delayadinsertion=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It wasn’t until Sunday — hours after the shooting — that her office reversed itself and said she would speak. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It’s likely that she will call on her party to show cohesion in the face of this fall’s general election battle against President Joe Biden.&lt;/p&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Immigration will be in the spotlight&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Many of the speeches Monday focused on economic policies and claims that Biden had mishandled the economy.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;On Tuesday, the overview shifts to immigration and crime, according to Trump’s campaign and the Republican National Committee, with the theme of “Make America Safe Once Again.” &lt;/p&gt;

        &lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Be on the lookout for speakers to argue that they have been damaged by Biden-era immigration policies. Trump and Republicans believe the border debate is among their strongest issues.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As part of a broader attempt to blame crime on border policies, expect speeches from family members of slain people in cases where immigrants in the U.S. illegally face criminal charges.

Officials say the suspect, Victor Antonio Martinez Hernandez, entered the U.S. illegally after allegedly killing a woman in his home country. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;He was arrested last month in Oklahoma and charged with first-degree murder and rape in Morin’s death. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;Infobox&quot; data-module=&quot;&quot; data-gtm-region=&quot;What to know about the 2024 Election Democracy: American democracy has overcome big stress tests since 2020.

He had canceled a planned Monday trip to Texas and his reelection campaign temporarily suspended its television ads after Saturday’s shooting. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;He will address the NAACP convention in Las Vegas on Tuesday, conduct an interview with the BET network and participate in an economic summit with Rep.

        &lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As the RNC got underway, Biden had his own slice of the prime-time spotlight Monday. In an interview with Lester Holt on NBC, Biden called it a “mistake” to say he wanted to put a “bull’s-eye” on Trump, but argued that the rhetoric from his opponent was more incendiary, while warning that Trump remained a threat to democratic institutions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Those remarks from Biden came during a private call with donors last week as the Democrat had been scrambling to shore up his imperiled candidacy with key party constituencies. During that conversation, Biden declared that he was “done” talking about his poor debate performance and that it was “time to put Trump in the bull’s-eye,” saying Trump has gotten far too little scrutiny on his stances, rhetoric and lack of campaigning.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;___&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Associated Press writer Adriana Gomez Licon in Milwaukee contributed to this report.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;___&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Meg Kinnard can be reached at &lt;span class=&quot;LinkEnhancement&quot;&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement&quot; data-gtm-enhancement-style=&quot;LinkEnhancementA&quot; href=&quot;http://twitter.com/MegKinnardAP&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;http://twitter.com/MegKinnardAP&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Republican convention to focus on immigration a day after a bandaged Trump makes triumphant entrance</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;MILWAUKEE (AP) — Two days after surviving &lt;span class=&quot;LinkEnhancement&quot;&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement&quot; data-gtm-enhancement-style=&quot;LinkEnhancementA&quot; href=&quot;https://apnews.com/article/trump-rally-shooting-butler-police-cdfd3f4b163f7f91b05eeefe21caa45a&quot;&gt;an attempted assassination&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, former President &lt;span class=&quot;LinkEnhancement&quot;&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement&quot; data-gtm-enhancement-style=&quot;LinkEnhancementA&quot; href=&quot;https://apnews.com/hub/donald-trump&quot;&gt;Donald Trump&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; appeared triumphantly at the Republican National Convention’s opening night with a bandage over his right ear, the latest compelling scene in a presidential campaign already defined by dramatic turns. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;GOP delegates cheered wildly when Trump appeared onscreen backstage and then emerged in the arena, visibly emotional, as musician Lee Greenwood sang “God Bless the USA.” That was hours after the convention had formally nominated the former president to head the Republican ticket in November against President &lt;span class=&quot;LinkEnhancement&quot;&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement&quot; data-gtm-enhancement-style=&quot;LinkEnhancementA&quot; href=&quot;https://apnews.com/hub/joe-biden&quot;&gt;Joe Biden&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;Infobox&quot; data-module=&quot;&quot; data-gtm-region=&quot;What to know: Meet Trump&#39;s VP pick: Sen.

When is Trump speaking?: The former president is expected to give his nomination acceptance speech Thursday. As is tradition for vice presidential picks, Vance is expected to take the stage on Wednesday night.&quot; data-align-center=&quot;&quot;&gt;

As is tradition for vice presidential picks, Vance is expected to take the stage on Wednesday night.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The convention resumes Tuesday, when the focus shifts to immigration, an issue central to Trump’s political brand that helped endear him to the GOP base when he began his first campaign in 2015. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Trump, accompanied by a wall of Secret Service agents Monday, did not address the hall — with his acceptance speech scheduled for Thursday — but smiled silently and occasionally waved as Greenwood sang. He eventually joined his newly announced running mate, &lt;span class=&quot;LinkEnhancement&quot;&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement&quot; data-gtm-enhancement-style=&quot;LinkEnhancementA&quot; href=&quot;https://apnews.com/article/trump-vice-president-vance-rubio-burgum-rnc-6cc438a8370a21b2631f5a53b06b71d0&quot;&gt;Ohio Sen. JD Vance&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, to listen to the night’s remaining speeches, often with a subdued expression and muted reactions uncharacteristic for the unabashed showman.&lt;/p&gt;

        &lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The raucous welcome underscored the depth of the crowd’s affection for the man who won the 2016 nomination as an outsider, at odds with the party establishment, but has vanquished all Republican rivals, silenced most conservative critics and now commands loyalty up and down the party ranks. &lt;/p&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“We must unite as a party, and we must unite as a nation,” said Republican Party Chairman Michael Whatley, Trump’s handpicked party leader, as he opened Monday’s prime-time national convention session. “We must show the same strength and resilience as President Trump and lead this nation to a greater future.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;Infobox&quot; data-module=&quot;&quot; data-gtm-region=&quot;What to know about the 2024 Election Democracy: American democracy has overcome big stress tests since 2020.

        &lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But Whatley and other Republican leaders made clear that their calls for harmony did not extend to Biden and Democrats, who find themselves still riven by worries that the 81-year-old question is not up to the job of defeating Trump. &lt;/p&gt;

        &lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“Their policies are a clear and present danger to America, to our institutions, our values and our people,” said Wisconsin Sen. Ron Johnson, welcoming the party to his battleground state, which Trump won in 2016 but lost to Biden four years ago.&lt;/p&gt;

        &lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Trump’s campaign chiefs designed the convention to feature a softer and more optimistic message, focusing on themes that would help a divisive leader expand his appeal among &lt;span class=&quot;LinkEnhancement&quot;&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement&quot; data-gtm-enhancement-style=&quot;LinkEnhancementA&quot; href=&quot;https://apnews.com/article/trump-biden-2024-election-nominee-polling-f80f8d7193e7901768b1bf67378c442a&quot;&gt;moderate voters&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; and &lt;span class=&quot;LinkEnhancement&quot;&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement&quot; data-gtm-enhancement-style=&quot;LinkEnhancementA&quot; href=&quot;https://apnews.com/article/trump-black-hispanic-americans-voters-of-color-59acadcda6cf9cb1082d4bdd9d4c4a81&quot;&gt;people of color&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;On Monday, a night devoted to the economy, delegates and a national TV audience heard from speakers the Trump campaign pitched as “everyday Americans” — a single mother talking about inflation, a union member who identified himself as a lifelong Democrat now backing Trump, a small business owner, among others.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Featured speakers also included Black Republicans who have been at the forefront of the Trump campaign’s effort to win more votes from a core Democratic constituency.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;U.S. Rep. Wesley Hunt of Texas said rising grocery and energy prices were hurting Americans’ wallets.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“We can fix this disaster,” Hunt said, by electing Trump and sending “him right back to where he belongs, the White House.”&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Trump’s grand RNC entrance, a VP pick and the new GOP: Takeaways from day 1</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;MILWAUKEE (AP) — Trump-Vance 2024.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Republican presidential ticket came together on Monday when &lt;span class=&quot;LinkEnhancement&quot;&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement&quot; data-gtm-enhancement-style=&quot;LinkEnhancementA&quot; href=&quot;https://apnews.com/hub/donald-trump&quot;&gt;Donald Trump&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; named &lt;span class=&quot;LinkEnhancement&quot;&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement&quot; data-gtm-enhancement-style=&quot;LinkEnhancementA&quot; href=&quot;https://apnews.com/hub/jd-vance&quot;&gt;JD Vance&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; as his &lt;span class=&quot;LinkEnhancement&quot;&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement&quot; data-gtm-enhancement-style=&quot;LinkEnhancementA&quot; href=&quot;https://apnews.com/article/trump-vice-president-vance-rubio-burgum-rnc-6cc438a8370a21b2631f5a53b06b71d0&quot;&gt;running mate&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;. In turning to the 39-year-old Ohio senator, the Republican nominee injected new energy into a campaign that has centered in recent weeks on questions of age following President Joe Biden’s disastrous debate performance.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Republican National Convention opened less than 48 hours after Trump was the subject of a shocking assassination attempt in Pennsylvania. The shooting, which left Trump injured and one man dead, loomed over the convention with speakers expressing gratitude for the former president’s survival and resolved to win back the White House in November.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Here are some takeaways from the &lt;span class=&quot;LinkEnhancement&quot;&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement&quot; data-gtm-enhancement-style=&quot;LinkEnhancementA&quot; href=&quot;https://apnews.com/live/rnc-day-1-trump-biden-election-updates&quot;&gt;first day of the convention&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Trump made a powerful entrance&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;Just two days after a gunman tried to kill him, Trump walked into the convention hall with a bandage over his injured right ear as the singer Lee Greewood performed “God Bless the USA,” a regular feature of the former president’s rallies. Trump waved to the crowd and pumped his fist in the air, a regular gesture that has taken on new meaning after he made a similar motion from the stage as Secret Service agents whisked him to safety on Saturday.&lt;/p&gt;

        &lt;p&gt;The crowd stood and cheered with delight at the sight of their nominee. Trump, who is rarely left without words, made no formal comments. But the sight of him said plenty, offering a palpable reminder of the former president’s narrow miss from tragedy. &lt;/p&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;He then greeted his family before taking a seat between Vance and commentator Tucker Carlson.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;The GOP’s Trump-era evolution was on full display&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;Infobox&quot; data-module=&quot;&quot; data-gtm-region=&quot;What to know about the 2024 Election Democracy: American democracy has overcome big stress tests since 2020.

        &lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;Senate Republican Leader &lt;span class=&quot;LinkEnhancement&quot;&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement&quot; data-gtm-enhancement-style=&quot;LinkEnhancementA&quot; href=&quot;https://apnews.com/hub/mitch-mcconnell&quot;&gt;Mitch McConnell&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; is arguably responsible for the GOP’s biggest policy accomplishments, particularly in installing conservative judges at all levels of the judiciary. But that didn’t matter much to the Trump-friendly crowd at the RNC, which greeted the Kentucky Republican with boos — a tangible rejection of someone demonized as an establishment Republican who has insufficiently supported the former president.&lt;/p&gt;
        &lt;div class=&quot;HTMLModuleEnhancement&quot; data-align-center=&quot;&quot;&gt;
        &lt;div class=&quot;HTMLModuleEnhancement-item&quot;&gt;

        &lt;/p&gt;
        &lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;Just a short while later, Vance enjoyed a much different reception. The second-youngest U.S. senator — and the first millennial to appear on a major party ticket — received raucous applause when he walked onto the convention floor for the first time as Trump’s running mate. &lt;/p&gt;
        &lt;div class=&quot;SovrnAd Advertisement &quot; data-module=&quot;&quot; data-class=&quot;sovrn-story-feed&quot; data-delayadinsertion=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;The dueling moments offered a window into the changes that have swept the GOP under Trump — bookending an era in which McConnell has gone from one of his party’s most powerful leaders and incisive tacticians to getting jeered on the convention floor by his own party’s activists.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Stylistically, McConnell and Vance couldn’t be much more different. Vance, an outspoken MAGA warrior, is one of Trump’s chief acolytes. McConnell, meanwhile, has an understated demeanor while his political sensibilities are rooted in the GOP of Ronald Reagan.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Without McConnell, however, the 39-year-old Vance’s political rise might not have been possible.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Two years ago, Vance was struggling to raise money and up against a well-funded Democratic opponent. McConnell’s super PAC swept in with more than $30 million in advertising spending.&lt;/p&gt;
        &lt;div class=&quot;SovrnAd Advertisement &quot; data-module=&quot;&quot; data-class=&quot;sovrn-story-feed&quot; data-delayadinsertion=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;Vance won and began his climb to prominence. McConnell, now in the twilight of his political career, will step down as the GOP’s Senate leader in November.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Unions are the GOP’s new friend?&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;For decades, Democrats have been the party of labor unions, while Republicans have been outwardly hostile to them.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But on the opening night of the RNC, Trump threw the doors of the convention open to International Brotherhood of Teamsters President Sean O’Brien, who delivered the final speech of the night and singled out both major political parties for not doing enough for working people.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If it seems unusual for a president of a major labor union to address a major gathering of Republicans, that’s because it is. For decades the party has pushed anti-labor laws intended to curtail the ability of unions to organize.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But in his speech, which wasn’t always warmly received by Republicans in attendance, O’Brien said workers are being taken for granted and sold out to big banks, big tech, the corporate elite, as well as both parties in Washington.&lt;/p&gt;
        &lt;div class=&quot;SovrnAd Advertisement &quot; data-module=&quot;&quot; data-class=&quot;sovrn-story-feed&quot; data-delayadinsertion=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;His speech amounted to criticism of Biden, who often likes to boast that he’s “the most pro-union president in history.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As Trump continues to scramble American politics and position himself as a champion of working people, O’Brien appeared to be making clear that Democrats shouldn’t take labor for granted.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“We are not beholden to anyone or any party,” O’Brien said.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Republicans spoke of unity — but leaned into hot-button social issues&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;The first night of the RNC was supposed to be about the economy, with the goal of uniting voters of all ideological persuasions who are frustrated by high prices. But some of the biggest applause lines came from harsh criticisms of transgender people.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It’s a reminder that cultural issues motivate the GOP base as much as financial ones. A trio of speakers unabashedly went after Democrats who have sought greater acceptance for transgender people. Of particular outrage to Republicans this year was Biden marking Transgender Day of Visibility. It happened to overlap with Easter in 2024, a byproduct of the Christian holiday being based off the lunar calendar.&lt;/p&gt;
        &lt;div class=&quot;SovrnAd Advertisement &quot; data-module=&quot;&quot; data-class=&quot;sovrn-story-feed&quot; data-delayadinsertion=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;To many in the LGBTQ+ community, it was a coincidence. But to many Republicans, it was an insult.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“They promised normalcy and gave us Transgender Visibility Day on Easter Sunday,” said Rep. &lt;span class=&quot;LinkEnhancement&quot;&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement&quot; data-gtm-enhancement-style=&quot;LinkEnhancementA&quot; href=&quot;https://apnews.com/hub/marjorie-taylor-greene&quot;&gt;Marjorie Taylor Greene&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;. “And let me state this clearly, there are only two genders.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Other Republicans sought to make the issue a matter of fairness. Their argument was that it’s wrong to ask “girls” to compete against transgender athletes. The Biden administration proposed a rule in April that would prevent schools and colleges from enacting outright bans on transgender athletes, a rule that was quickly challenged in court.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sen. &lt;span class=&quot;LinkEnhancement&quot;&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement&quot; data-gtm-enhancement-style=&quot;LinkEnhancementA&quot; href=&quot;https://apnews.com/hub/ronald-johnson&quot;&gt;Ron Johnson&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, R-Wis., said at the convention it was all part of a “fringe agenda” that “includes biological males competing against girls.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Rep. John James, R-Mich., tried to equate it to part of a broader critique of Democrats, saying that they promised to offer the country hope and had failed. “Our daughters were sold on hope, and now they’re being forced on the playing fields and changing rooms with biological males,” James said.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Republicans hit Biden hard on inflation &lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;To hear Republicans tell it, inflation had crushed the U.S. economy and it’s all Biden’s fault.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The argument is a key message for voters who may have doubts about Trump’s ethics but still trust his economic judgment. None of the speeches at the convention offered much of a detailed explanation as to why prices went up. That would require acknowledging the broken supply chains after the pandemic as well as how Russia’s invasion of Ukraine pushed up food and energy costs. But Biden pushed through $1.9 trillion in pandemic aid and the GOP argued that Americans have suffered as a result by paying more for groceries and gasoline.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This was all about taking the troubling inflation data and ignoring the positives in the economy such as a strong job market and solid growth as the economy has recovered.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“So many American families have to live with so much less,” said Sen. Katie Britt, R-Ala. “This is too high a price to pay for an administration that has brought us to such lows.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But how would the GOP fix inflation?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The speakers never really gave a plan, other than simply returning Trump to the White House.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Dodgers’ Hernández beats Royals’ Witt for HR Derby title, Alonso’s bid for 3rd win ends in 1st round</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — When Teoscar Hernández needed a moment to calm down during the Home Run Derby, the Los Angeles Dodgers slugger got a boost from a former teammate who just happened to be last year’s champion. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Vladimir Guerrero Jr. wore a Blue Jays jersey with Hernández’s name and No. 37 on the back as he watched the competition, honoring his friend from their time as Toronto teammates from 2017-22.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“That was a surprise of the night,” Hernández said. “He brings my jersey from Toronto. And when he goes to home plate, he was trying to calm (me) down, and so he had passed two times, and it works. He said he wanted to help me going into the last round.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hernández won the Home Run Derby when he beat local star Bobby Witt Jr. of the Kansas City Royals 14-13 in the final round Monday night.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The 31-year-old Hernández hit 49 homers over three rounds that totaled 3.98 miles and became the first Dodgers player to win the derby among 11 who have tried. While not participating in the derby this year, Guerrero gave Hernández advice during breaks.&lt;/p&gt;
        &lt;div class=&quot;SovrnAd Advertisement &quot; data-module=&quot;&quot; data-class=&quot;sovrn-story-feed&quot; data-delayadinsertion=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;“If I have to bet, it doesn’t matter who I’m going against, I’m going to bet on myself,” Hernández said when asked if he felt like the underdog. “People maybe underestimate myself.”&lt;/p&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;Witt, needing one home run to tie with one out remaining, drove a ball to one of the deepest parts of Globe Life Field in left-center, where it hit halfway up the wall to the left of the 410-foot sign.&lt;/p&gt;
        &lt;div class=&quot;HTMLModuleEnhancement&quot; data-align-center=&quot;&quot;&gt;
        &lt;div class=&quot;HTMLModuleEnhancement-item&quot;&gt;

        &lt;div class=&quot;taboola_readmore&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;p class=&quot;embed-caption&quot;&gt;
        &lt;/p&gt;
        &lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;“When I hit it I knew I kind of — I didn’t hit it great. But, yeah, I just was trying to blow on it or something,” Witt said with a chuckle. “The first thing I thought was just no pop. ... We got to do a couple more curls or something.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Kansas City has never had a derby winner. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Both finished their two-minute final round with 11 homers, before bonus swings were added. Witt came up short of his first two bonus swings, then hit two homers in a row — one a 457-foot drive that got him one more swing. &lt;/p&gt;
        &lt;div class=&quot;SovrnAd Advertisement &quot; data-module=&quot;&quot; data-class=&quot;sovrn-story-feed&quot; data-delayadinsertion=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;Witt was the No. 2 overall pick by the Royals in 2019 out of Colleyville Heritage High School, about 15 miles north of the Rangers’ stadium. It was his first time in the derby, but he was the high school home run champion in Washington in 2018 — and is the only player to compete in both contests. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The 24-year-old Witt finished with 50 homers overall that traveled 3.8 miles. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Witt had knocked out Cleveland switch-hitter José Ramírez 17-12 in the semifinals. Hernández beat Philadelphia’s Alec Bohm 16-15 after a tiebreaker when both got three swings — Hernández hit two out, and Bohm one. They were tied at 14 after the three-minute segment and their bonus rounds, and Bohm came close to avoiding that, but the last ball he hit then landed on the warning track in left-center field.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ramírez and Bohm both hit 21 homers to pace the first round. Witt started with 20 homers and Hernández had 19. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The New York Mets’ Pete Alonso fell short in his bid to join Ken Griffey Jr. as a three-time derby champion when he hit only 12 homers in the first round. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Instead of a single-elimination bracket like last year, the four hitters with the most homers in the first round advanced to the semifinal round. It then became a bracket-style competition.&lt;/p&gt;
        &lt;div class=&quot;SovrnAd Advertisement &quot; data-module=&quot;&quot; data-class=&quot;sovrn-story-feed&quot; data-delayadinsertion=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;Alonso hit a 428-foot homer to left-centerfield on his first swing, but couldn’t get into a rhythm. The others knocked out after the first round were hometown favorite Adolis García of Texas, Atlanta’s Marcell Ozuna and Baltimore’s Gunnar Henderson. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“It’s disappointing, but for me, I think it’s really just a blessing and it’s just fun being out there,” said Alonso who has 207 homers in his five derby appearances. “At the end of the day, it wasn’t my day.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ozuna did have the longest homer of the night at 473 feet. The longest homers hit during games at the stadium were 472 feet — by Mike Trout of the Los Angeles Angels in 2022, and Oakland’s Seth Brown in 2021. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Bohm, one of a franchise-record eight Phillies named All-Stars, has only 11 homers this season — the fewest among the eight derby competitors. He said he was going to try to hit as many balls as he could to left field and did — pulling all 21 of his homers that way in the first round. &lt;/p&gt;
        &lt;div class=&quot;SovrnAd Advertisement &quot; data-module=&quot;&quot; data-class=&quot;sovrn-story-feed&quot; data-delayadinsertion=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;It still felt like 100 degrees (38 Celsius) outside the ballpark when the derby began, but the retractable roof was closed on the stadium that opened in 2020. When the Rangers hosted the 1995 All-Star Game across the street in their old stadium without a roof, the derby wasn’t yet a prime-time event and was held in the sweltering mid-afternoon heat. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Frank Thomas won in 1995 with 15 homers over three rounds in a different format. Albert Belle finished with a total of 16, then a Home Run Derby record, but Thomas beat him 3-2 in the final round. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;___&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;AP MLB: &lt;span class=&quot;LinkEnhancement&quot;&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement&quot; data-gtm-enhancement-style=&quot;LinkEnhancementA&quot; href=&quot;https://apnews.com/hub/mlb&quot;&gt;https://apnews.com/hub/mlb&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>NFL Hall of Famer says he was unjustly handcuffed and ‘humiliated’ on a flight</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;DENVER (AP) — Pro Football Hall of Famer Terrell Davis said Monday he was “humiliated” after being handcuffed and removed from a United Airlines flight, then later apologized to by law enforcement, over the weekend.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Davis, who previously played for the Denver Broncos, wrote in an Instagram post that he had tapped a flight attendant on the arm, prompting the employee to shout “don’t hit me” and hurry toward the front of the plane. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Once the flight from Denver to Orange County, California, landed, Davis wrote, law-enforcement boarded the plane, put Davis in handcuffs without explanation and removed him from the flight. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“I was - and remain - humiliated, embarrassed, powerless, and angry,” Davis wrote. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;While in questioning, Davis said law enforcement determined the flight attendant’s accusations didn’t have merit and apologized. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;United Airlines said in a statement that they reached out to Davis’ team to apologize and have removed the flight attendant from duty while they review the incident. &lt;/p&gt;
        &lt;div class=&quot;SovrnAd Advertisement &quot; data-module=&quot;&quot; data-class=&quot;sovrn-story-feed&quot; data-delayadinsertion=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;“This is clearly not the kind of travel experience we strive to provide,” the statement read. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;FBI spokesperson Laura Eimiller said in a statement that agents and law enforcement partners at Orange County’s John Wayne Airport responded to a report of an incident aboard a flight, and detained and then released an individual who was cooperative.&lt;/p&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;Wrapping up his Instagram post, Davis demanded an investigation into the flight attendant “who blatantly lied and placed undue harm on me and my family.” &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Parker Stinar, Davis’ attorney, said in a statement: “We plan on fully investigating the events that took place and are actively contacting United Airlines in this matter.”&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Judge removed from long-running gang and racketeering case against rapper Young Thug and others</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;ATLANTA (AP) — The judge overseeing the long-running racketeering and gang prosecution against rapper Young Thug and others has been removed from the case after two defendants sought his recusal, citing a meeting the judge held with prosecutors and a state witness.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Fulton County Superior Court Chief Judge Ural Glanville had put the case in Atlanta on hold two weeks ago to give another judge a chance to review the defendants’ motions for recusal. Judge Rachel Krause on Monday granted those motions and ordered the clerk of court to assign the case to a different judge.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;While not faulting Glanville for holding the meeting and saying she has “no doubt that Judge Glanville can and would continue presiding fairly over this matter,” Krause wrote that “the ‘necessity of preserving the public’s confidence in the judicial system’ weighs in favor of excusing Judge Glanville” from the case.&lt;/p&gt;
        &lt;div class=&quot;SovrnAd Advertisement &quot; data-module=&quot;&quot; data-class=&quot;sovrn-story-feed&quot; data-delayadinsertion=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;This ruling will surely cause more delays in a trial that has already dragged on for over a year. Jury selection &lt;span class=&quot;LinkEnhancement&quot;&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement&quot; data-gtm-enhancement-style=&quot;LinkEnhancementA&quot; href=&quot;https://apnews.com/article/crime-young-thug-organized-gunna-atlanta-0af09d00d583d45fe3056d2687246d9c&quot;&gt;began in January 2023&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; and &lt;span class=&quot;LinkEnhancement&quot;&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement&quot; data-gtm-enhancement-style=&quot;LinkEnhancementA&quot; href=&quot;https://apnews.com/article/young-thug-atlanta-rico-indictment-trial-jury-3bb8f2d5f2096b6302ec9921f036173c&quot;&gt;took nearly 10 months&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;. &lt;span class=&quot;LinkEnhancement&quot;&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement&quot; data-gtm-enhancement-style=&quot;LinkEnhancementA&quot; href=&quot;https://apnews.com/article/young-thug-ysl-rico-trial-atlanta-01d33fe0e43c2d2b6fbb6ed5184401bc&quot;&gt;Opening statements were in November&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; and the prosecution has been presenting its case since then, calling dozens of witnesses.&lt;/p&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;Young Thug, a Grammy winner whose given name is Jeffery Williams, was &lt;span class=&quot;LinkEnhancement&quot;&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement&quot; data-gtm-enhancement-style=&quot;LinkEnhancementA&quot; href=&quot;https://apnews.com/article/entertainment-crime-arrests-georgia-1b33395632861d48b1314e90a962148a&quot;&gt;charged two years ago&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; in a sprawling indictment accusing him and more than two dozen others of conspiring to violate Georgia’s anti-racketeering law. He also is charged with gang, drug and gun crimes and is standing trial with five of the others indicted with him.&lt;/p&gt;

        &lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;Lawyers for Young Thug and co-defendant Deamonte Kendrick had filed motions seeking Glanville’s recusal. They said the judge &lt;span class=&quot;LinkEnhancement&quot;&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement&quot; data-gtm-enhancement-style=&quot;LinkEnhancementA&quot; href=&quot;https://apnews.com/article/young-thug-trial-brian-steel-db0fef2b3703d3041e27bfd7be354aa2&quot;&gt;held a meeting&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; with prosecutors and prosecution witness Kenneth Copeland at which defendants and defense attorneys were not present. The defense attorneys argued the meeting was “improper” and that the judge and prosecutors had tried to pressure the witness to testify.&lt;/p&gt;
        &lt;div class=&quot;SovrnAd Advertisement &quot; data-module=&quot;&quot; data-class=&quot;sovrn-story-feed&quot; data-delayadinsertion=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;Glanville maintained that the meeting was proper and argued that no one gained a tactical advantage as a result. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The office of Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, which is prosecuting the case, had argued there was no need for Glanville to be recused.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Brian Steel, a lawyer for Young Thug, said in an emailed statement that his client is innocent and sought to clear his name through a fair trial.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“Sadly, Judge Glanville and the prosecutors have run afoul of their duties under the law,” Steel said, adding that he is grateful for the recusal order and looks forward “to proceeding with a trial judge who will fairly and faithfully follow the law.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Kendrick’s lawyer, Doug Weinstein, also applauded Monday’s ruling.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“While I respect Chief Judge Glanville and his service to this community and the country, he simply became biased over the course of this case,” he wrote in an email. He added that he looks forward to trying the case “before an unbiased judge,” but said the only just outcome at this point is “a mistrial and bond” for Kendrick, who has been jailed for more than two years.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A spokesperson for Willis’ office declined to comment. The Associated Press has also reached out to Glanville for comment. &lt;/p&gt;
        &lt;div class=&quot;SovrnAd Advertisement &quot; data-module=&quot;&quot; data-class=&quot;sovrn-story-feed&quot; data-delayadinsertion=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;Krause wrote in her order that she “agrees generally” with Glanville’s assessment of the propriety of the meeting, that nothing about the meeting or what was discussed was inherently improper. She did write that the meeting “could have — and perhaps should have” been held in open court.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But when Glanville denied Kendrick’s recusal motion in court, he “provided context, questioned the veracity of allegations, and otherwise explained his decisions and actions and argued why those actions were proper.” Quoting case law, Krause wrote that when a judge discloses information relevant to his potential recusal, he must do so “in a way that is as objective, dispassionate, and non-argumentative as possible, so that the judge is not reasonably perceived as a hostile witness or advocate.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Young Thug has been wildly successful since he began rapping as a teenager and he serves as CEO of his own record label, Young Stoner Life, or YSL. Artists on his label are considered part of the “Slime Family,” and a compilation album, “Slime Language 2,” rose to No. 1 on the charts in April 2021.&lt;/p&gt;
        &lt;div class=&quot;SovrnAd Advertisement &quot; data-module=&quot;&quot; data-class=&quot;sovrn-story-feed&quot; data-delayadinsertion=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;But prosecutors say YSL also stands for Young Slime Life, which they allege is an Atlanta-based violent street gang affiliated with the national Bloods gang and founded by Young Thug and two others in 2012. Prosecutors say people named in the indictment are responsible for violent crimes — including killings, shootings and carjackings — to collect money for the gang, burnish its reputation and expand its power and territory.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Steel acknowledged during his opening statement that his client’s songs mention violent acts, including killings, but he said those are just artistic expressions drawn from his rough childhood and not a chronicle of his own activities.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Colombia’s soccer federation president and son among 27 arrested in chaos at Copa America final</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — Colombia’s soccer federation president and his son were among 27 people arrested during the &lt;span class=&quot;LinkEnhancement&quot;&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement&quot; data-gtm-enhancement-style=&quot;LinkEnhancementA&quot; href=&quot;https://apnews.com/article/copa-america-argentina-colombia-fans-security-ce881853569d013f1c29d553cfbad369&quot;&gt;crowd control issues&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; that broke out Sunday at the Copa America final between &lt;span class=&quot;LinkEnhancement&quot;&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement&quot; data-gtm-enhancement-style=&quot;LinkEnhancementA&quot; href=&quot;https://apnews.com/article/copa-america-argentina-colombia-score-messi-6753475603a48683a3c4971e451e8263&quot;&gt;Argentina and Colombia&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, police said Monday.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ramón Jesurún and his son Ramon Jamil Jesurun were detained after the event at Hard Rock Stadium and charged, Miami-Dade police detective Andre Martin told The Associated Press. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Both men are facing three counts of felony battery on an official after being accused of fighting multiple stadium security guards. Arrest records said both men tried to go onto the field through a tunnel where media was gathering after the match. They were stopped by security, and the police report said they “became irate” at the delay. A verbal altercation eventually turned physical with a guard placing an “open palm” on Ramon Jamil Jesurun’s chest to “guide him back” and the younger Jesurun grabbing the guard “around his neck” and pulling him to the ground before throwing “two punches that impacted” the guard, the report said. The two men were placed into custody after midnight.&lt;/p&gt;

        &lt;p&gt;Colombia’s soccer federation didn’t immediately respond Monday to a request for comment from the AP.&lt;/p&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;Ramón Jesurún, 71, has been president of the Colombian soccer federation since 2015 and is a vice president of CONMEBOL, South American soccer’s governing body that organizes the Copa America tournament.&lt;/p&gt;

        &lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;In a statement released Monday, the organization said it regrets the scene in which countless fans entered the stadium without tickets and “tarnished” the event. The &lt;span class=&quot;LinkEnhancement&quot;&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement&quot; data-gtm-enhancement-style=&quot;LinkEnhancementA&quot; href=&quot;https://apnews.com/article/copa-america-argentina-colombia-fans-security-ce881853569d013f1c29d553cfbad369&quot;&gt;game was delayed for more than an hour&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; as authorities worked to control the situation, eventually deciding to let some fans in without going through security checkpoints.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“In this situation, CONMEBOL was subject to the decisions made by the Hard Rock Stadium authorities, according to the contractual responsibilities established for security operations,” the organization said. “In addition to the preparations determined in this contract, CONMEBOL recommended to these authorities the procedures proven in events of this magnitude, which were NOT taken into account.”&lt;/p&gt;
        &lt;div class=&quot;SovrnAd Advertisement &quot; data-module=&quot;&quot; data-class=&quot;sovrn-story-feed&quot; data-delayadinsertion=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;Hard Rock Stadium — the site of 2026 World Cup matches — said security was a shared responsibility among its stadium officials, the organization, CONCACAF (the governing body that oversees soccer in North and Central America and the Caribbean) and local police.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“More than double the personnel” used for a typical event were onsite Sunday, a stadium spokesperson said in a news release.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Miami-Dade police said more than 800 law enforcement officers were at the match. In addition to the arrests, 55 people were ejected, they said.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It was a chaotic scene just hours before the scheduled 8 p.m. start of the &lt;span class=&quot;LinkEnhancement&quot;&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement&quot; data-gtm-enhancement-style=&quot;LinkEnhancementA&quot; href=&quot;https://apnews.com/article/copa-america-argentina-colombia-score-messi-6753475603a48683a3c4971e451e8263&quot;&gt;championship match between the two South American countries&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;: Fans forced their way in and jumped over security railings and ran past police officers and stadium attendants, some appearing hysterical as they searched for the people they arrived with.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There appeared to be significant damage to the venue as a result. Video and images posted to social media showed the shattered side railings of an escalator inside the stadium, with shoes, soda cans, reading glasses and articles of clothing left behind. Security railings at a checkpoint in the southwest entrance to the stadium were bent over as thousands of people, including crying children, pushed against them.&lt;/p&gt;
        &lt;div class=&quot;SovrnAd Advertisement &quot; data-module=&quot;&quot; data-class=&quot;sovrn-story-feed&quot; data-delayadinsertion=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;The Hard Rock Stadium release said stadium officials communicated with tournament organizers around 8 p.m. and decided to open the gates to both ticketed and unticketed fans who were thrust against the entrance in fear of stampedes and serious injuries. The gates were then closed with many ticketed fans left outside.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida, which is home to the NFL’s Dolphins, will be the site of seven World Cup matches in 2026, including a quarterfinal and third-place match.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;FIFA organizes the World Cup and is a different organization from CONMEBOL. FIFA is an international federation that oversees more than 200 affiliated associations under regional bodies like CONMEBOL.&lt;/p&gt;

The melee injured 19 police officers and resulted in 53 arrests. In 1989, 97 people were fatally crushed at a major English match when fans forced their way into the stadium.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>BTS star Jin and a garbage collector are among those carrying the Olympic torch through Paris</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;PARIS (AP) — From the Louvre Museum to the Eiffel Tower, from Paris’ posh districts to working-class neighborhoods, hundreds of people have carried the Olympic torch through the French capital for two days of celebrations before the &lt;span class=&quot;LinkEnhancement&quot;&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement&quot; data-gtm-enhancement-style=&quot;LinkEnhancementA&quot; href=&quot;https://apnews.com/hub/2024-paris-olympic-games&quot;&gt;Summer Games&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; kick off at the end of the month.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Joyful crowds lined up along the route Sunday and Monday.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“I got super emotional,” BMX world champion Matthias Dandois said after carrying the torch in front of the Eiffel Tower. ”I’m from Paris, and I grew up playing so much sport and watching the Olympics, and it was a dream to be a part of it.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;About 10,000 people were chosen to carry the flame across France from the southern city port of Marseille, where &lt;span class=&quot;LinkEnhancement&quot;&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement&quot; data-gtm-enhancement-style=&quot;LinkEnhancementA&quot; href=&quot;https://apnews.com/article/paris-olympics-torch-arrival-marseille-d954536cfeef8e000b36260c5a5f1853&quot;&gt;it arrived on May 8&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, to the &lt;span class=&quot;LinkEnhancement&quot;&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement&quot; data-gtm-enhancement-style=&quot;LinkEnhancementA&quot; href=&quot;https://apnews.com/article/olympics-2024-paris-innovations-opening-ceremony-cad9eda58cc0c4c86e4a7a61519062c7&quot;&gt;opening ceremony&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; on July 26. Many are athletes. Others were picked because they represent art, culture and gastronomy, volunteer for charities or are deeply involved in community life.&lt;/p&gt;

        &lt;p&gt;Dressed in white, they ran at a slow pace to the cheers of spectators. The flame reached the top floor of the Eiffel Tower on Monday with French judoka and Olympic champion Clarisse Agbegnenou.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Francky Mbotto, a 26-year-old middle-distance runner from Central African Republic who lives in Paris, carried it near the Arc de Triomphe.&lt;/p&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;“This is incredible! It’s so emotional. It’s Olympism that is being highlighted,” he said, adding that the relay is meant to deliver a “message of peace.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;Infobox&quot; data-module=&quot;&quot; data-gtm-region=&quot;Paris Olympics The Olympics are more than fun and games.

        &lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;Another torchbearer, Eva David, a wheelchair basketball athlete, described it as “a real moment of jubilation.”&lt;/p&gt;

        &lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;Belgian singer Mentissa carried the torch as her songs were played. “Sport and music really bring people together and make us forget our daily lives,” she said.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The torch made &lt;span class=&quot;LinkEnhancement&quot;&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement&quot; data-gtm-enhancement-style=&quot;LinkEnhancementA&quot; href=&quot;https://apnews.com/article/paris-france-bastille-day-olympic-torch-d33f90230ffa2a2c3c95873e3e167a36&quot;&gt;its grand entrance in Paris for Bastille Day&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; on Sunday with military horse rider Col. Thibaut Vallette, gold medalist at the 2016 Rio Games. It was handed to a relay by students from the multicultural northern suburbs of Seine-Saint-Denis in front of French President Emmanuel Macron.&lt;/p&gt;
        &lt;div class=&quot;SovrnAd Advertisement &quot; data-module=&quot;&quot; data-class=&quot;sovrn-story-feed&quot; data-delayadinsertion=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;Former World Cup winner Thierry Henry, who leads France’s Olympic soccer team, later carried the flame down the Champs-Elysees avenue.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Among the torchbearers who attracted the most attention was K-Pop icon Jin, a member of the band BTS, who carried it Sunday evening in front of the Louvre. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“It was an honor to be part of such a meaningful moment,” he said, according to his management agency.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Jin’s relay drew a significant crowd. Sofia Boukhabla, 23, said she had very little interest in watching the Games but rushed with her friends to see Jin. “He is so cute,” she exclaimed.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Late on Sunday, Ludovic Franceschet, a local garbage collector, brought the flame inside Paris City Hall, where it spent the night under high protection. Franceschet, who seeks to raise environmental awareness with hundreds of thousands of followers on TikTok and Instagram, seized the occasion to remind residents and visitors to put their trash in bins.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The torch relay was also the chance to pay tribute to victims of the 2015 attacks in the French capital at the Bataclan concert hall and elsewhere. Lassana Bathily, the Mali-born employee &lt;span class=&quot;LinkEnhancement&quot;&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement&quot; data-gtm-enhancement-style=&quot;LinkEnhancementA&quot; href=&quot;https://apnews.com/general-news-3cadfc7486db403c8b7cfa696d9a08f5&quot;&gt;who saved lives during an attack at a kosher supermarket&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, carried the torch at the Pantheon monument.&lt;/p&gt;
        &lt;div class=&quot;SovrnAd Advertisement &quot; data-module=&quot;&quot; data-class=&quot;sovrn-story-feed&quot; data-delayadinsertion=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;Some onlookers found relief from recent chaos in France.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Isabelle Kling, 70, took a detour from her usual dog-walking route to witness the relay. “It almost makes me want to cry, finally seeing the flame. It’s a bit of joy after the disastrous weeks we’ve had,” she said, alluding to the recent &lt;span class=&quot;LinkEnhancement&quot;&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement&quot; data-gtm-enhancement-style=&quot;LinkEnhancementA&quot; href=&quot;https://apnews.com/article/france-elections-right-left-macron-32fe723ea2a592e7ce243f68a89729a2&quot;&gt;elections&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; in France.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The torch will continue its journey in northern France and through the Paris region before heading back to the French capital.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Olympic cauldron will be lit after the opening ceremony &lt;span class=&quot;LinkEnhancement&quot;&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement&quot; data-gtm-enhancement-style=&quot;LinkEnhancementA&quot; href=&quot;https://apnews.com/article/paris-olympics-opening-ceremony-23e64c51d56126663c7b3b1ef8443d8d&quot;&gt;on the River Seine&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; on July 26.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;___&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;Associated Press journalists Oleg Cetinic in Paris and Hyung-jin Kim in Seoul, South Korea, contributed to this report.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;___&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;Follow AP’s Olympics coverage at &lt;span class=&quot;LinkEnhancement&quot;&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement&quot; data-gtm-enhancement-style=&quot;LinkEnhancementA&quot; href=&quot;https://apnews.com/hub/2024-paris-olympic-games&quot;&gt;https://apnews.com/hub/2024-paris-olympic-games&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>T-shirts with image of Trump raising his fist after assassination attempt are for sale in China</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;BANGKOK (AP) — Images of the moment have already been &lt;span class=&quot;LinkEnhancement&quot;&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement&quot; data-gtm-enhancement-style=&quot;LinkEnhancementA&quot; href=&quot;https://apnews.com/article/trump-photo-flag-iconic-bullet-f668b7dcc7b365a319a5daaac582775d&quot;&gt;splashed across the world’s front pages&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; and papered many corners of the internet — former President Donald Trump, ear bleeding, with his right hand clenched in a fist above the Secret Service agents surrounding him after he was shot.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And now they’re available on T-shirts for as little as $4 on China’s e-commerce platforms.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Over the weekend, Chinese retailers leapt into action on Taobao and JD.com, the country’s two biggest e-commerce platforms, to profit from the images after &lt;span class=&quot;LinkEnhancement&quot;&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement&quot; data-gtm-enhancement-style=&quot;LinkEnhancementA&quot; href=&quot;https://apnews.com/article/trump-rally-shooting-election-violence-ae383dee203d82ddf38d2e76c63a8bc6&quot;&gt;an assassination attempt on Trump&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; at a rally on Saturday.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“Make America Great Again,” read one T-shirt, according to screenshots that circulated online. “Shooting Makes Me Stronger,” read another. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The shirts used a variety of photos that captured the moment, including one of the most indelible made by Associated Press photographer Evan Vucci.&lt;/p&gt;
        &lt;div class=&quot;SovrnAd Advertisement &quot; data-module=&quot;&quot; data-class=&quot;sovrn-story-feed&quot; data-delayadinsertion=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;While people around the world may have recognized the power of the images, Chinese manufacturers are particularly well positioned to quickly jump on something trending and make it into a product. It is the world’s factory floor and its highly competitive domestic e-commerce industry means its small retailers are poised to exploit all sorts of consumer product trends. &lt;/p&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;By Monday, many of the T-shirts were no longer easily found, with a search for “Trump T-shirt” on JD showing no results and on Taobao showing other Trump T-shirts. &lt;/p&gt;
        &lt;div class=&quot;HTMLModuleEnhancement&quot; data-align-center=&quot;&quot;&gt;
        &lt;div class=&quot;HTMLModuleEnhancement-item&quot;&gt;
        &lt;div class=&quot;HTMLModuleEnhancement-embed&quot;&gt;
        &lt;div class=&quot;HtmlModule&quot; data-module-tracksubscribe=&quot;&quot; data-gtm-topic=&quot;No Value&quot;&gt;
        &lt;a class=&quot;AnchorLink&quot; id=&quot;html-embed-module-e30000&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
        &lt;div class=&quot;taboola_readmore&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;p class=&quot;embed-caption&quot;&gt;
        &lt;/p&gt;
        &lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;When asked, however, some shops were able to provide hidden links to the merchandise — and other shirts could be found by searching for a Chinese nickname for Trump for a time.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It’s not clear why the shirts were hidden, but China’s domestic internet, which is largely isolated from the global internet, is controlled by an extensive censorship system that also monitors its online commerce sites. The use of the images could raise copyright concerns.&lt;/p&gt;
        &lt;div class=&quot;SovrnAd Advertisement &quot; data-module=&quot;&quot; data-class=&quot;sovrn-story-feed&quot; data-delayadinsertion=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;“The Associated Press is proud of Evan Vucci’s photo and recognizes its impact,” said Lauren Easton, AP’s vice president of corporate communications. “In addition, we reserve our rights to this powerful image.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;An AP journalist was able to order a shirt with an image of the moment for 61 yuan ($8), even though the original link said the shirt was no longer available. A customer service representative said it violated regulations, without elaborating, but then provided a link to order the shirt.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Another shop on Taobao offered five different T-shirts, all based on photos from Saturday’s rally, when asked whether it had any showing Trump being shot at. They were selling for 34.9 yuan ($4).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For a time Monday, searches that included “Trump Jianguo” turned up shops selling T-shirts with images from the rally — though that worked less well as the day went on.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Trump Jianguo began being used as a nickname on the Chinese internet when Trump was in office. Jianguo — which means “build a country” — was a popular patriotic name for men in the 1950s and 60s when China’s Communist People’s Republic was young. The nickname is a jibe from people who felt some of Trump’s policies actually helped China, despite his sometimes fiery rhetoric. &lt;/p&gt;
        &lt;div class=&quot;SovrnAd Advertisement &quot; data-module=&quot;&quot; data-class=&quot;sovrn-story-feed&quot; data-delayadinsertion=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;Chinese entrepreneurs have long done brisk business on Trump’s name, as much of the candidate’s merchandise was made in the Chinese wholesale center Yiwu during the 2020 election.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Alibaba, which owns Taobao, and JD.com did not immediately respond to requests for comment.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;___&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;AP video journalist Caroline Chen in Beijing contributed to this report.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>A decade after deadly MH17 crash, the father of one victim is still waiting for Russia to say sorry</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;HILVERSUM, Netherlands (AP) — Quinn Schansman dreamed of becoming the youngest-ever CEO of an American company. A decade ago, he’d just finished the first year of an international business degree in Amsterdam as a step toward that lofty goal.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But the 18-year-old dual Dutch American citizen’s future — whatever it may have held — was cruelly cut short when he was one of the 298 people killed as a Soviet-era Buk surface-to-air rocket, launched from territory in eastern Ukraine controlled by pro-Russian rebels, destroyed Malaysia Airlines flight 17.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The conflict in Ukraine has since erupted into &lt;span class=&quot;LinkEnhancement&quot;&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement&quot; data-gtm-enhancement-style=&quot;LinkEnhancementA&quot; href=&quot;https://apnews.com/hub/ukraine&quot;&gt;full-scale war&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; following Russia’s invasion in February 2022. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;On Wednesday, Quinn’s father, Thomas Schansman, will read out his name and those of other victims during a commemoration marking 10 years since the tragedy at a monument near Schiphol, the airport flight MH17 left on its way to Kuala Lumpur on July 17, 2014.&lt;/p&gt;
        &lt;div class=&quot;SovrnAd Advertisement &quot; data-module=&quot;&quot; data-class=&quot;sovrn-story-feed&quot; data-delayadinsertion=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;Schansman has learned to live with the loss of his son, but what he still can’t accept is Moscow’s blunt denials of responsibility for the downing of the Boeing 777, which shattered in midair and scattered bodies and wreckage over agricultural land and fields of sunflowers in eastern Ukraine.&lt;/p&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;An international investigation concluded that the Buk missile system belonged to the Russian 53rd Anti-Aircraft Missile Brigade and that it was driven into Ukraine from a Russian military base near the city of Kursk and returned there after the plane was shot down.&lt;/p&gt;

        &lt;/div&gt;

They were given life prison sentences but remain at large because Russia refused to surrender them to face trial. One other Russian was acquitted.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Russia steadfastly denies any responsibility.&lt;/p&gt;

        &lt;p&gt;More legal action is underway at the European Court of Human Rights and the International Civil Aviation Organization Council to hold Russia to account under international law for the attack.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If those organizations rule that Moscow was responsible, Schansman says it will be a moment to celebrate — but it wouldn’t be the end of the story.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“That does not provide closure. For me, closure is the acknowledgment by Russia that they delivered the Buk, the recognition that they must also take responsibility for it,” Schansman told The Associated Press. “I want to hear apologies. The simple ‘Sorry.’”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Nationals of 16 countries killed&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;People killed in the crash were citizens of the Netherlands, Malaysia, Australia, Indonesia, the United Kingdom, Belgium, Germany, the Philippines, Canada, New Zealand, Vietnam, Israel, Italy, Romania, the United States and South Africa.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Australian Attorney General Mark Dreyfus will also be in the Netherlands for the commemoration. He honored families of the dead in a statement earlier this month, saying that 38 of the victims “called Australia home.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“I pay tribute to their bravery, their strength and their perseverance. Seeking justice for those aboard flight MH17 has required many of those who loved them most to tell and re-tell their stories of loss in successive legal proceedings,” he said.&lt;/p&gt;
        &lt;div class=&quot;SovrnAd Advertisement &quot; data-module=&quot;&quot; data-class=&quot;sovrn-story-feed&quot; data-delayadinsertion=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;Dreyfus said the anniversary and a commemoration at Parliament House in Canberra would be “a moment to pause and remember those whose lives were tragically cut short in a senseless act of violence. It will be a moment to commit ourselves to continue to seek accountability for those responsible for this despicable crime.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Schansman said he no longer cares if other people who were involved in firing the missile are brought to justice because “it won’t bring my son back.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;He just wants Russia to admit responsibility.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“The fact that for all these years — right up to today — they continue to deny and to spread disinformation, that hurts,” Schansman said. “That is irritating and it makes you at certain times a bitter person.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Mark Rutte, the former Dutch prime minister who was in office when the Boeing 777 was shot down, said the disaster and its decade-long aftermath was “perhaps the most drastic and emotional event of my entire premiership. I have always tried to be a support to the relatives.”&lt;/p&gt;
        &lt;div class=&quot;SovrnAd Advertisement &quot; data-module=&quot;&quot; data-class=&quot;sovrn-story-feed&quot; data-delayadinsertion=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;Rutte’s administration helped coordinate a complex operation to repatriate the remains of the victims to the Netherlands. Thousands of people solemnly lined highways as convoys of hearses carried coffins from a military airbase to a barracks where the painstaking process of identification took place.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Wednesday’s ceremony will be held at the national MH17 memorial, a park near Schiphol Airport that is planted with 298 trees — one for each victim — and sunflowers, reflecting the flowers that grew at the crash scene.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And while Wednesday will mark the 10th anniversary of Quinn’s death, his name lives on. His sister Nerissa recently gave birth to her first daughter, named Frida Quinn Schansman Pouw.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>In a world of moving pictures, photographs capture indelible moments in Trump assassination attempt</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;The photograph of a bloodied Donald Trump with his fist in the air and an American flag looming in the background is quickly emerging as the pivotal image of &lt;span class=&quot;LinkEnhancement&quot;&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement&quot; data-gtm-enhancement-style=&quot;LinkEnhancementA&quot; href=&quot;https://apnews.com/live/election-biden-trump-campaign-updates-07-13-2024&quot;&gt;Saturday’s shooting&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, and it wouldn’t exist without a journalist who acted quickly and on a hunch.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Video of the assassination attempt at a Pennsylvania rally filled television screens before it was even clear what had happened. Yet the work of The Associated Press’ Evan Vucci, Getty’s Anna Moneymaker and Doug Mills of The New York Times — whose picture &lt;span class=&quot;LinkEnhancement&quot;&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement&quot; data-gtm-enhancement-style=&quot;LinkEnhancementA&quot; href=&quot;https://www.nytimes.com/2024/07/14/us/politics/photo-path-trump-assassination.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;caught apparent evidence&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; of a bullet whizzing past Trump’s head — proved the enduring potency of still photography in a world driven by a flood of moving pictures.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Vucci’s image, one of many he took on Saturday, could also have political implications from many directions — as indelible images often do in the days and years after seismic events happen.&lt;/p&gt;
        &lt;div class=&quot;SovrnAd Advertisement &quot; data-module=&quot;&quot; data-class=&quot;sovrn-story-feed&quot; data-delayadinsertion=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;“Without question, Evan’s photo will become the definitive photo from the (assassination) attempt,” said Patrick Witty, a former photo editor at Time, The New York Times and National Geographic. “It captures a range of complex details and emotions in one still image — the defiantly raised fist, the blood, the agents clamoring to push Trump off stage and, most importantly, the flag. That’s what elevates the photo.”&lt;/p&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;The New York Post ran the photo across the tabloid’s front page on Sunday with a headline describing the former president as “bloodied but unbowed.” Time magazine has put it on its cover. “A legendary American photograph,” The Atlantic wrote in a headline over a story about the image. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;Infobox&quot; data-module=&quot;&quot; data-gtm-region=&quot;What to know about the 2024 Election Democracy: American democracy has overcome big stress tests since 2020.

        &lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;It all made one thing clear: After more than 175 years of photography, freezing a moment in time for posterity remains as powerful as recounting it in video — and, sometimes, even more so. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;An immediate recognition of the power of the captured moment&lt;/h2&gt;
        &lt;div class=&quot;HTMLModuleEnhancement&quot; data-align-center=&quot;&quot;&gt;
        &lt;div class=&quot;HTMLModuleEnhancement-item&quot;&gt;

        &lt;/p&gt;
        &lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;Many news photographers, including AP’s Gene Puskar, were on assignment in various locations around Saturday’s rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, about 30 miles north of Pittsburgh. Vucci was one of four stationed between the stage and audience. Covering a political rally is a routine assignment the Washington-based journalist has done hundreds of times; left unspoken is the duty to be in position if history beckons in the manner that it did Saturday.&lt;/p&gt;
        &lt;div class=&quot;SovrnAd Advertisement &quot; data-module=&quot;&quot; data-class=&quot;sovrn-story-feed&quot; data-delayadinsertion=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;When he heard popping sounds, Vucci, who has covered combat situations in Iraq and Afghanistan, said he knew instantly it was gunfire. He rushed to the stage at Trump’s right, but his view of the former president was quickly blocked by Secret Service agents. He sensed that the agents would try to hustle Trump offstage and into a vehicle from the other side, so he darted over there.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;From that position, he said, “everything kind of opened up for me.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Trump’s attempts to rise to his feet and pump his fist gave Vucci a clear view of the ex-president. He said the blue sky and flag in the background were an important part of the composition. “I think that kind of told the story of where we are right now,” he said.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Witty, like some others, compared it to Joe Rosenthal’s AP photo of U.S. Marines &lt;span class=&quot;LinkEnhancement&quot;&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement&quot; data-gtm-enhancement-style=&quot;LinkEnhancementA&quot; href=&quot;https://www.pulitzer.org/article/joe-rosenthal-and-flag-raising-iwo-jima&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;raising the American flag&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; on Iwo

      <title>JD Vance is a relative political unknown. He’s been asked to help Donald Trump avenge his loss</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;MILWAUKEE (AP) — &lt;span class=&quot;LinkEnhancement&quot;&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement&quot; data-gtm-enhancement-style=&quot;LinkEnhancementA&quot; href=&quot;https://apnews.com/article/jd-vance-hillbilly-elegy-trump-vp-candidate-1aab89b90ce7e8534556716930b23a1c&quot;&gt;JD Vance&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; is supposed to help &lt;span class=&quot;LinkEnhancement&quot;&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement&quot; data-gtm-enhancement-style=&quot;LinkEnhancementA&quot; href=&quot;https://apnews.com/hub/donald-trump&quot;&gt;Donald Trump&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; win the Midwest this fall.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But almost immediately after the Ohio senator was announced as &lt;span class=&quot;LinkEnhancement&quot;&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement&quot; data-gtm-enhancement-style=&quot;LinkEnhancementA&quot; href=&quot;https://apnews.com/article/trump-vice-president-vance-rubio-burgum-rnc-6cc438a8370a21b2631f5a53b06b71d0&quot;&gt;Trump’s vice presidential pick&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; on Monday, one thing became clear: Vance, a 39-year-old Republican with less than two years in Congress, is not well-known among many in his party, even in the swing states Trump hopes he’ll deliver. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Michigan Republican Party Chairman Pete Hoekstra offered a blunt response when asked about Trump’s pick minutes after it was announced: “We don’t know him.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“If he’s from Ohio, he understands our state and the other northern battlegrounds,” Hoekstra said, standing on the floor of the Republican National Convention. “But we haven’t had a chance to take his measure yet.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Trump’s team now has less than four months to strengthen Vance’s profile in the states that matter most this fall in his 2020 rematch against Democratic President &lt;span class=&quot;LinkEnhancement&quot;&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement&quot; data-gtm-enhancement-style=&quot;LinkEnhancementA&quot; href=&quot;https://apnews.com/hub/joe-biden&quot;&gt;Joe Biden&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;. Already, a collection of political foes — Democrats and Republicans — is working to fill the void by seizing on Vance’s inexperience in government, his nationalist views and his critical comments about Trump himself.&lt;/p&gt;
        &lt;div class=&quot;SovrnAd Advertisement &quot; data-module=&quot;&quot; data-class=&quot;sovrn-story-feed&quot; data-delayadinsertion=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;“I’m not sure he helps him in the campaign,” said veteran Republican pollster Neil Newhouse, suggesting Vance may be better positioned to help Trump enact his agenda on Capitol Hill if given the chance. “He’s not that well-known even in Ohio. ... This isn’t a campaign pick. It’s a policy pick, a governing pick.” &lt;/p&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;Republican strategist Kellyanne Conway, who served as Trump’s chief counselor while in the White House, had encouraged Trump to pick a different running mate in the weeks leading up to his announcement. Privately, she believed that Florida Sen. Marco Rubio or Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin would do more to help Trump win. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;Infobox&quot; data-module=&quot;&quot; data-gtm-region=&quot;What to know about the 2024 Election Democracy: American democracy has overcome big stress tests since 2020.

        &lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;Vance, who quickly developed a reputation as a MAGA firebrand in his short time on Capitol Hill, earned modest applause when he entered the packed convention hall for the first time Monday as Trump’s running mate. The Republican senator posed for selfies, shook hands and signed posters. Later in the night, the crowd was more excited as he greeted Trump — who entered the room with a bandage covering his right ear, injured in Saturday’s assassination attempt — for the ticket’s first public appearance.&lt;/p&gt;
        &lt;div class=&quot;HTMLModuleEnhancement&quot; data-align-center=&quot;&quot;&gt;
        &lt;div class=&quot;HTMLModuleEnhancement-item&quot;&gt;

        &lt;/p&gt;
        &lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;Recent polling confirms the notion that most voters don’t know Vance. &lt;/p&gt;
        &lt;div class=&quot;SovrnAd Advertisement &quot; data-module=&quot;&quot; data-class=&quot;sovrn-story-feed&quot; data-delayadinsertion=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;Just 13% of registered voters said they had a favorable opinion of Vance with 20% an unfavorable one, according to a &lt;span class=&quot;LinkEnhancement&quot;&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement&quot; data-gtm-enhancement-style=&quot;LinkEnhancementA&quot; href=&quot;https://www.cnn.com/2024/07/02/politics/cnn-poll-post-debate/index.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;CNN poll&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; conducted in late June. The majority said they had never heard of him or had no opinion.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Trump’s vice-presidential pick is arguably the most important decision of his 2024 campaign. Vance, who is literally half the 78-year-old Trump’s age, and has the least political experience on a short list that included Rubio and North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sensing an opportunity, Trump’s critics in both parties quickly went after him.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“Almost any other choice might have expanded the map for them, but Trump needed a candidate who looked like him, talked like him, and thought like him. He needed a candidate who would grovel,” former New Hampshire Republican Party chair Jennifer Horn wrote on X. “JD Vance was the least experienced, least qualified, most obsequious, psychopathic, servile candidate on the list.”&lt;/p&gt;
        &lt;div class=&quot;SovrnAd Advertisement &quot; data-module=&quot;&quot; data-class=&quot;sovrn-story-feed&quot; data-delayadinsertion=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;But Trump made up his own mind based on a different set of criteria. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Trump especially liked Vance’s performance on television, where he has become a fixture on conservative media. The former president also likes Vance’s looks, saying he reminded him of “a young Abraham Lincoln.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Trump is also hopeful Vance can draw from his life story growing up in Appalachia to help appeal to Midwestern voters. Vance has experienced poverty and addiction up close in a way that is uncommon among leading Republican officials.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Vance also had another advantage: his chemistry with Trump. The first-term senator has developed a strong rapport with Trump, his son Donald Trump Jr. and leading MAGA figures during his recent rise in Republican politics. &lt;/p&gt;
        &lt;div class=&quot;SovrnAd Advertisement &quot; data-module=&quot;&quot; data-class=&quot;sovrn-story-feed&quot; data-delayadinsertion=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;Vance is an Ivy League-educated author, former Marine and businessman. He is known for his aggressive questioning of Biden administration officials.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Biden’s campaign hosted a conference call Monday denouncing the pick, focusing especially on his limited record on abortion and the economy and his support for Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Vance &lt;span class=&quot;LinkEnhancement&quot;&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement&quot; data-gtm-enhancement-style=&quot;LinkEnhancementA&quot; href=&quot;https://apnews.com/article/2022-midterm-elections-abortion-tim-ryan-biden-6b00b57614dff12903d4228e74c37ac8&quot;&gt;previously said&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; he would support a national abortion ban at 15 weeks of pregnancy. He also said he &lt;span class=&quot;LinkEnhancement&quot;&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement&quot; data-gtm-enhancement-style=&quot;LinkEnhancementA&quot; href=&quot;https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/jd-vance-defends-trump-claims-invoking-jean-carroll/story?id=106925954&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;would not have voted&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; to certify the 2020 election results, as former Vice President Mike Pence did over Trump’s objections. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“I will certainly take that matchup any day of the week and twice on Sunday,” said Jen O’Malley Dillon, the Biden campaign chairwoman. “Because while Trump and Vance have an agenda focused on themselves and their wealthy donor friends, President Biden and Vice President Harris are fighting for the American people.”&lt;/p&gt;

        &lt;p&gt;One of Biden’s greatest assets in his campaign against Vance might be what Vance previously said about Trump. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;During the early stages of Trump’s political career, &lt;span class=&quot;LinkEnhancement&quot;&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement&quot; data-gtm-enhancement-style=&quot;LinkEnhancementA&quot; href=&quot;https://apnews.com/article/trump-rubio-vance-burgum-scott-stefanik-vp-11ec39b0da11152ad110ff987d4eaeee&quot;&gt;Vance cast Trump&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; as “a total fraud,” “a moral disaster” and “America’s Hitler.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“If you go back and listen to the things that JD Vance said about Trump ... he said some things about me, but see what he said about Trump,” Biden told NBC’s Lester Holt in an interview Monday.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Vivek Ramaswamy, once considered a potential Trump running mate as well, described Vance as “a major asset” on the ticket whose evolution on Trump would ultimately help him connect with swing voters. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“He’s also somebody who can say, ‘You know what, in 2016, I may not have voted for Donald Trump either, but here’s why I am with him to the fullest today,’” Ramaswamy said. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But for now, Vance joins the Trump presidential ticket as a mystery to many voters and elected officials alike. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp said Vance was one of the few vice-presidential prospects that he “really haven’t crossed paths with.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“I don’t know that much about him,” Kemp said.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;___&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;Associated Press writers Seung Min Kim in Washington and Bill Barrow and Jill Colvin in Milwaukee contributed to this report.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Trump’s escape from disaster by mere inches reveals a tiny margin with seismic impact</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;NEW YORK (AP) — Jarring, chaotic and sudden, the bullet whizzed toward the stage where former President Donald Trump stood behind a podium speaking. In its wake: the potential for a horrifying and tragic chapter in American history.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But the Republican presidential candidate had a narrow escape — mere inches, possibly less — in &lt;span class=&quot;LinkEnhancement&quot;&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement&quot; data-gtm-enhancement-style=&quot;LinkEnhancementA&quot; href=&quot;https://apnews.com/article/trump-rally-shooting-butler-police-cdfd3f4b163f7f91b05eeefe21caa45a&quot;&gt;Saturday’s assassination attempt&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;.

And an unforgettable example of something many were talking about Monday — a hard truth about the events that shape us, our daily lives, and our society: &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sometimes, it’s all about chance, about circumstances falling in one direction and not another, about interventions in the nick of time or missteps that allow for disruption. &lt;/p&gt;
        &lt;div class=&quot;SovrnAd Advertisement &quot; data-module=&quot;&quot; data-class=&quot;sovrn-story-feed&quot; data-delayadinsertion=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;Sometimes history can come down to inches. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Near misses and the hinge of history&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;It’s a truth that often gets obscured as we look over dates, places, people and events with the perspective of hindsight and blanket media coverage. The past gets covered with a patina of inevitability — as if it could have only occurred the way it did.&lt;/p&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;But “what just happened to us is a kind of humbling lesson about how contingent all of this is,” says Susan Schulten, a history professor at the University of Denver. “And nothing’s foreordained.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;Infobox&quot; data-module=&quot;&quot; data-gtm-region=&quot;What to know about the 2024 Election Democracy: American democracy has overcome big stress tests since 2020.

        &lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;No matter what, of course, there will be fallout and an impact from the attempted assassination of Trump on Saturday at a Pennsylvania rally, where an attendee was killed and two others wounded, and law enforcement killed the shooter. But what it will be, in this election year and in the years to come, will unfold differently than it would have in an America where events had gone differently.&lt;/p&gt;

        &lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;History is filled with examples of chance, randomness or luck playing a part in how things turn out, says Mark Rank, a professor of social welfare at Washington University in St. Louis and author of “The Random Factor: How Chance and Luck Profoundly Shape Our Lives and the World around Us.”&lt;/p&gt;
        &lt;div class=&quot;SovrnAd Advertisement &quot; data-module=&quot;&quot; data-class=&quot;sovrn-story-feed&quot; data-delayadinsertion=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;In his book, he recounts an incident during the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962, when a submarine from what was then the Soviet Union came close to firing a nuclear-tipped torpedo at U.S. forces out of a belief it was being attacked. But a circumstantial delay in getting the order carried out allowed enough time for another officer to recognize that wasn’t the case.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There are plenty of other moments where there can be endless “what-if” discussions, from assassinations of figures like Abraham Lincoln and John and Robert Kennedy to other attempted killings such as the attack on President Ronald Reagan in 1981, two months after he assumed the presidency.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It’s also events like the Sept. 11 attacks in 2001, Rank points out, when there were ordinary people who “missed their subway connection or were late or were early and just missed being killed in that disaster, whereas other folks were not as lucky.”&lt;/p&gt;
        &lt;div class=&quot;SovrnAd Advertisement &quot; data-module=&quot;&quot; data-class=&quot;sovrn-story-feed&quot; data-delayadinsertion=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;h2&gt;Trying to find meaning&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;Often, people respond to events like these by trying to make sense of them through a belief in coherence — to summon some kind of universal meaning, or divine plan. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;That’s because people want a sense of control, says Daryl Van Tongeren, a professor of psychology at Hope College in Michigan. It’s too unnerving, he says, to admit that life is random and chance-filled. “It’s safer for us to think that we can just control everything that happens.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And in the United States of America, where part of the national mythology is the idea that we are masters of our own destinies — that we can pull ourselves up by our own efforts — the idea of randomness can land as particularly unnerving, Rank says.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“In the United States, we’re really steeped in the idea of rugged individualism and self-reliance and meritocracy and you do it on your own, and you’re in control, and you have agency,” he says. “And to some extent, we are in control. We do make decisions. But another aspect of life is that ... there are things that happen to you that you have no control over.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“That’s kind of unsettling,” he says. “But that’s the way life plays out. That’s the world.”&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>RNC day 2: What to watch</title>

        &lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;That will likely include Nikki Haley, a onetime primary rival who was a last-minute addition to the schedule. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Here’s what to watch for on the second day of the &lt;span class=&quot;LinkEnhancement&quot;&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement&quot; data-gtm-enhancement-style=&quot;LinkEnhancementA&quot; href=&quot;https://apnews.com/projects/election-2024-our-very-complicated-democracy/political-conventions-purpose-us-elections-episode-5.html&quot;&gt;RNC&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Nikki Haley will speak on Tuesday&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The former United Nations ambassador and South Carolina governor was the last major rival against Trump in this year’s primary contest.

Then last week, she &lt;span class=&quot;LinkEnhancement&quot;&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement&quot; data-gtm-enhancement-style=&quot;LinkEnhancementA&quot; href=&quot;https://apnews.com/article/nikki-haley-donald-trump-delegates-republicans-rnc-2024-263978b78aadd1d4bbd043df23fc8e39&quot;&gt;announced&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; she would instruct her convention delegates to vote for Trump but wasn’t planning to attend the convention. &lt;/p&gt;

        &lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It wasn’t until Sunday — hours after the shooting — that her office reversed itself and said she would speak. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It’s likely that she will call on her party to show cohesion in the face of this fall’s general election battle against President Joe Biden.&lt;/p&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Immigration will be in the spotlight&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Many of the speeches Monday focused on economic policies and claims that Biden had mishandled the economy.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;On Tuesday, the overview shifts to immigration and crime, according to Trump’s campaign and the Republican National Committee, with the theme of “Make America Safe Once Again.” &lt;/p&gt;

        &lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Be on the lookout for speakers to argue that they have been damaged by Biden-era immigration policies. Trump and Republicans believe the border debate is among their strongest issues.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As part of a broader attempt to blame crime on border policies, expect speeches from family members of slain people in cases where immigrants in the U.S. illegally face criminal charges. Trump has repeatedly brought up the issue at rallies this year.&lt;/p&gt;

        &lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Last week, the Trump campaign and the RNC announced that the brother of Rachel Morin — a Maryland woman whom prosecutors say was killed and raped by a fugitive from El Salvador — would be one of the speakers at the convention. Officials say the suspect, Victor Antonio Martinez Hernandez, entered the U.S. illegally after allegedly killing a woman in his home country. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;He was arrested last month in Oklahoma and charged with first-degree murder and rape in Morin’s death. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;Infobox&quot; data-module=&quot;&quot; data-gtm-region=&quot;What to know about the 2024 Election Democracy: American democracy has overcome big stress tests since 2020.

He had canceled a planned Monday trip to Texas and his reelection campaign temporarily suspended its television ads after Saturday’s shooting. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;He will address the NAACP convention in Las Vegas on Tuesday, conduct an interview with the BET network and participate in an economic summit with Rep.

        &lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As the RNC got underway, Biden had his own slice of the prime-time spotlight Monday. In an interview with Lester Holt on NBC, Biden called it a “mistake” to say he wanted to put a “bull’s-eye” on Trump, but argued that the rhetoric from his opponent was more incendiary, while warning that Trump remained a threat to democratic institutions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Those remarks from Biden came during a private call with donors last week as the Democrat had been scrambling to shore up his imperiled candidacy with key party constituencies. During that conversation, Biden declared that he was “done” talking about his poor debate performance and that it was “time to put Trump in the bull’s-eye,” saying Trump has gotten far too little scrutiny on his stances, rhetoric and lack of campaigning.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;___&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Associated Press writer Adriana Gomez Licon in Milwaukee contributed to this report.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;___&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Meg Kinnard can be reached at &lt;span class=&quot;LinkEnhancement&quot;&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement&quot; data-gtm-enhancement-style=&quot;LinkEnhancementA&quot; href=&quot;http://twitter.com/MegKinnardAP&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;http://twitter.com/MegKinnardAP&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Republican convention to focus on immigration a day after a bandaged Trump makes triumphant entrance</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;MILWAUKEE (AP) — Two days after surviving &lt;span class=&quot;LinkEnhancement&quot;&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement&quot; data-gtm-enhancement-style=&quot;LinkEnhancementA&quot; href=&quot;https://apnews.com/article/trump-rally-shooting-butler-police-cdfd3f4b163f7f91b05eeefe21caa45a&quot;&gt;an attempted assassination&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, former President &lt;span class=&quot;LinkEnhancement&quot;&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement&quot; data-gtm-enhancement-style=&quot;LinkEnhancementA&quot; href=&quot;https://apnews.com/hub/donald-trump&quot;&gt;Donald Trump&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; appeared triumphantly at the Republican National Convention’s opening night with a bandage over his right ear, the latest compelling scene in a presidential campaign already defined by dramatic turns. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;GOP delegates cheered wildly when Trump appeared onscreen backstage and then emerged in the arena, visibly emotional, as musician Lee Greenwood sang “God Bless the USA.” That was hours after the convention had formally nominated the former president to head the Republican ticket in November against President &lt;span class=&quot;LinkEnhancement&quot;&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement&quot; data-gtm-enhancement-style=&quot;LinkEnhancementA&quot; href=&quot;https://apnews.com/hub/joe-biden&quot;&gt;Joe Biden&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;Infobox&quot; data-module=&quot;&quot; data-gtm-region=&quot;What to know: Meet Trump&#39;s VP pick: Sen.

When is Trump speaking?: The former president is expected to give his nomination acceptance speech Thursday. As is tradition for vice presidential picks, Vance is expected to take the stage on Wednesday night.&quot; data-align-center=&quot;&quot;&gt;

As is tradition for vice presidential picks, Vance is expected to take the stage on Wednesday night.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The convention resumes Tuesday, when the focus shifts to immigration, an issue central to Trump’s political brand that helped endear him to the GOP base when he began his first campaign in 2015. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Trump, accompanied by a wall of Secret Service agents Monday, did not address the hall — with his acceptance speech scheduled for Thursday — but smiled silently and occasionally waved as Greenwood sang. He eventually joined his newly announced running mate, &lt;span class=&quot;LinkEnhancement&quot;&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement&quot; data-gtm-enhancement-style=&quot;LinkEnhancementA&quot; href=&quot;https://apnews.com/article/trump-vice-president-vance-rubio-burgum-rnc-6cc438a8370a21b2631f5a53b06b71d0&quot;&gt;Ohio Sen. JD Vance&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, to listen to the night’s remaining speeches, often with a subdued expression and muted reactions uncharacteristic for the unabashed showman.&lt;/p&gt;

        &lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The raucous welcome underscored the depth of the crowd’s affection for the man who won the 2016 nomination as an outsider, at odds with the party establishment, but has vanquished all Republican rivals, silenced most conservative critics and now commands loyalty up and down the party ranks. &lt;/p&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“We must unite as a party, and we must unite as a nation,” said Republican Party Chairman Michael Whatley, Trump’s handpicked party leader, as he opened Monday’s prime-time national convention session. “We must show the same strength and resilience as President Trump and lead this nation to a greater future.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;Infobox&quot; data-module=&quot;&quot; data-gtm-region=&quot;What to know about the 2024 Election Democracy: American democracy has overcome big stress tests since 2020.

        &lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But Whatley and other Republican leaders made clear that their calls for harmony did not extend to Biden and Democrats, who find themselves still riven by worries that the 81-year-old question is not up to the job of defeating Trump. &lt;/p&gt;

        &lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“Their policies are a clear and present danger to America, to our institutions, our values and our people,” said Wisconsin Sen. Ron Johnson, welcoming the party to his battleground state, which Trump won in 2016 but lost to Biden four years ago.&lt;/p&gt;

        &lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Trump’s campaign chiefs designed the convention to feature a softer and more optimistic message, focusing on themes that would help a divisive leader expand his appeal among &lt;span class=&quot;LinkEnhancement&quot;&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement&quot; data-gtm-enhancement-style=&quot;LinkEnhancementA&quot; href=&quot;https://apnews.com/article/trump-biden-2024-election-nominee-polling-f80f8d7193e7901768b1bf67378c442a&quot;&gt;moderate voters&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; and &lt;span class=&quot;LinkEnhancement&quot;&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement&quot; data-gtm-enhancement-style=&quot;LinkEnhancementA&quot; href=&quot;https://apnews.com/article/trump-black-hispanic-americans-voters-of-color-59acadcda6cf9cb1082d4bdd9d4c4a81&quot;&gt;people of color&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;On Monday, a night devoted to the economy, delegates and a national TV audience heard from speakers the Trump campaign pitched as “everyday Americans” — a single mother talking about inflation, a union member who identified himself as a lifelong Democrat now backing Trump, a small business owner, among others.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Featured speakers also included Black Republicans who have been at the forefront of the Trump campaign’s effort to win more votes from a core Democratic constituency.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;U.S. Rep. Wesley Hunt of Texas said rising grocery and energy prices were hurting Americans’ wallets.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“We can fix this disaster,” Hunt said, by electing Trump and sending “him right back to where he belongs, the White House.”&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>On an unusually busy news day, did the assassination attempt’s aftermath change the media tone?</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;If this were a typical presidential campaign, Donald Trump’s &lt;span class=&quot;LinkEnhancement&quot;&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement&quot; data-gtm-enhancement-style=&quot;LinkEnhancementA&quot; href=&quot;https://apnews.com/article/trump-vice-president-vance-rubio-burgum-rnc-6cc438a8370a21b2631f5a53b06b71d0&quot;&gt;selection of J.D. Vance&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; as his running mate on the Republican ticket would have likely dominated media discussions for a week or two.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This is not a typical presidential campaign. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;On Monday, that choice was just part of the mix. On the opening day of the Republican convention two days after an &lt;span class=&quot;LinkEnhancement&quot;&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement&quot; data-gtm-enhancement-style=&quot;LinkEnhancementA&quot; href=&quot;https://apnews.com/article/trump-assassination-attempt-what-happened-734900d303fcfbf349162047f8059601&quot;&gt;assassination attempt&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; on Trump, news organizations juggled several major stories and grappled with the uncertainty of whether political violence would change the tone of their coverage.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Would a &lt;span class=&quot;LinkEnhancement&quot;&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement&quot; data-gtm-enhancement-style=&quot;LinkEnhancementA&quot; href=&quot;https://apnews.com/article/biden-trump-shooting-election-2024-704592d02c3421a767112f0bf6d25eb9&quot;&gt;lowering of volume&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; on political combat that some, including President Joe Biden, had called for in the wake of Saturday’s shooting be evident at news outlets that many say live for the fight?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Digging into seismic events, hoping for some wisdom&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;Coming from a man known for his understanding of political theater, Trump’s rollout of his Vance selection on Monday afternoon was understated. First, news organizations were fed word that two men thought to be on his short list — Florida Sen. Marco Rubio and North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum — had been told they had not been chosen.&lt;/p&gt;

        &lt;p&gt;Shortly thereafter, Trump announced the choice of the Ohio senator in a post on his Truth Social outlet. Vance was later seen on the floor of the GOP convention in Milwaukee, accepting handshakes and hugs of congratulation.&lt;/p&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;As she spoke with politicians at the convention, CNN’s Kaitlan Collins put the question to a handful of interview subjects: How would the assassination attempt change the tone of the Republican gathering?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;Infobox&quot; data-module=&quot;&quot; data-gtm-region=&quot;What to know about the 2024 Election Democracy: American democracy has overcome big stress tests since 2020.

        &lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;There was an obvious sadness, U.S. Sen. Katie Britt answered. But the conversation then turned to an accusation against the media.&lt;/p&gt;
        &lt;div class=&quot;HTMLModuleEnhancement&quot; data-align-center=&quot;&quot;&gt;
        &lt;div class=&quot;HTMLModuleEnhancement-item&quot;&gt;
        &lt;div class=&quot;HTMLModuleEnhancement-embed&quot;&gt;
        &lt;div class=&quot;HtmlModule&quot; data-module-tracksubscribe=&quot;&quot; data-gtm-topic=&quot;No Value&quot;&gt;
        &lt;a class=&quot;AnchorLink&quot; id=&quot;html-embed-module-e30000&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
        &lt;div class=&quot;taboola_readmore&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;p class=&quot;embed-caption&quot;&gt;
        &lt;/p&gt;
        &lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;“I really wish the media would do a better job of covering it when we do work together,” Britt said.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There was a bitter exchange earlier between the former president’s son, Donald Trump Jr., and MSNBC reporter Jacob Soboroff on the convention floor when the reporter asked for specifics about what Trump’s father would do on the immigrant issue.&lt;/p&gt;
        &lt;div class=&quot;SovrnAd Advertisement &quot; data-module=&quot;&quot; data-class=&quot;sovrn-story-feed&quot; data-delayadinsertion=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;“I expect nothing less from you clowns even today,” Trump said. “Even 48 hours later, you couldn’t wait. You couldn’t wait with your lies and with your nonsense. So just get out of here.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Unusual day for MSNBC&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;It was an eventful, and odd, day for MSNBC. The network had pre-empted its opinion programming on Sunday for an NBC News Now straight news simulcast of news surrounding the assassination attempt.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But it was noticed Monday when MSNBC did not air its “Morning Joe” program, which is often filled with anti-Trump commentary from the husband-and-wife team of Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski, and their colleagues. The network &lt;span class=&quot;LinkEnhancement&quot;&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement&quot; data-gtm-enhancement-style=&quot;LinkEnhancementA&quot; href=&quot;https://www.cnn.com/2024/07/14/media/msnbc-morning-joe-pulled-trump-assassination?cid=external-feeds_iluminar_google&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;denied a CNN report&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; that executives were concerned that someone on the show might make an inappropriate remark, and said “Morning Joe” would be back on Tuesday.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It didn’t take long for MSNBC’s opinionated programming to make its return on Monday.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The network opened its convention coverage with Rachel Maddow reciting a lengthy list of unflattering things Vance had said about Trump during the former president’s early years in politics. The network’s five-woman anchor team — Maddow, Joy Reid, Jen Psaki, Nicolle Wallace and Alex Wagner — assailed Vance’s views on abortion.&lt;/p&gt;
