WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden’s reelection campaign has been hiding in plain sight all along.The contours of the 2024 campaign that Biden will formally launch with a video as soon as this week will look a lot like his messaging and policy moves from the past few months: Play up accomplishments from his first two years, draw a sharp contrast with Republican policies he deems extreme, and brush off worries about his age.Biden, aides contend, has essentially been campaigning since Republicans took control of the House last year, focused on showing Americans how his administration is implementing massive new infrastructure, technology and climate laws, and portraying Republicans as in the grip of the far right at a time when Washington is nearing a crucial fight over raising the nation’s borrowing limit.While advisers say Biden’s activities and message in coming months will be largely indistinguishable from what he’s been doing over the last six months, the frame of reference wi...Anthony Edwards carries Minnesota to wild overtime victory to stave off elimination

It wouldn’t be the playoffs if the Timberwolves didn’t miraculously blow a double-digit lead late in the fourth quarter, as they did Sunday.And yet, they still managed to force a Game 5 on Tuesday in Denver.After surrendering a 12-0 Denver run in the final 2 minutes, 40 seconds of regulation, Minnesota responded in overtime to defeat the top-seeded Nuggets 114-108 at Target Center.It was a wild ending to what was a lifeless contest for much of the night. The Target Center in-arena announcers were asking, begging, those in attendance to make some semblance of noise in the second half of Game 4 on Sunday.Denver was starting to pull away in the middle of a sluggish contest that, frankly, hadn’t provided much for anyone to cheer about. A pair of Nikola Jokic triples put Denver up by nine in the middle of the third quarter.Everyone in the building seemed resigned to the idea that the series was going to conclude in a 4-0 sweep.But Anthony Edwards had something to say ab...Wolves survive dramatic overtime to beat Nuggets in Game 4, extend series back to Denver

MINNEAPOLIS – The ice in Anthony Edwards’ veins got colder than a Minnesota deep freeze.Edwards’ gut-check 3-pointer, with 11 seconds left in overtime Sunday night, saved Minnesota’s season and extended this first-round series, at least, for one more game.The Timberwolves rode Edwards’ 34 points for a pulsating 114-108 win in Game 4, forcing this series back to Denver for Tuesday’s Game 5. Perhaps there, where the Nuggets have dominated opponents all season, Denver will punch its ticket to the second round.“We didn’t play any defense,” a dejected Nuggets coach Michael Malone said.Minnesota was up 12 points with less than three minutes left in regulation when Nikola Jokic and Michael Porter Jr. refused to quit. Together, they rode a storm of 3-pointers to force overtime. But in the extra session, the T-Wolves outscored Denver 18-12 to stave off elimination.“I didn’t think we were going to go undefeated the whole postseason,” Malone said.Jokic poured in 43 points and snatc...Nuggets 3-pointers: Yes, Anthony Edwards is magic. Yes, Timberwolves avoided monster choke job. But Denver should end this in 5.

Initial thoughts from the Nuggets’ 114-108 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves in the first round of their Western Conference playoff series:1. We’ll see ya Tuesday. Or not. OK, guess we will. Anthony Edwards? Magic. Get him away from Rudy Gobert and Karl Anthony-Towns, the kid might win a ring someday. But not this year. Not with this Minnesota team. And not against these Nuggets. Not after what we saw Sunday night. With 2:37 left and the Target Center hopping, the 1 seed trailed by 12. With 12.7 seconds on the clock, the game was tied. Denver, buried by Timberwolves fans, the TNT broadcast crew and Twitter at large, put on a 12-0 run over 2:23 to turn Game 4 into a nail-biter. What made it even more impressive, given how Denver had scored just six points in the fourth quarter with 6:16 left in the stanza. Then again, these are the T-Pups, and ask LeBron James and the Lakers how well Minnesota closes postseason games. Still, Sunday’s result means Denver has still never won four stra...Hyman scores in OT as Oilers beat Kings 5-4 to even series

SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) -- Stephen Curry is undoubtedly one of the greatest players to ever play basketball. However, during Sunday's Game 4 win, the Warriors superstar did something that had some scratching their heads. Warriors even up series 2-2 with win over Sacramento Kings Up by five with about 42 seconds left in the game, Curry dribbled the ball up the court and called timeout. The problem is the Warriors had none left, and the four-time NBA champion was charged with a technical foul. Possession was given to the Kings, and Malik Monk made the technical foul free throw to cut the Warriors' lead to four. Ultimately, Golden State hung on to win, and Curry's blunder became an afterthought.Had the Warriors lost, this play might've been talked about for a long time. Remember a similar play by Chris Webber that cost Michigan in the 1993 NCAA National Championship?It was a rare mental lapse for the two-time NBA MVP as Warriors coach Steve Kerr couldn't believe it. The play made it on...Biden podría elegir a Julie Chávez Rodríguez para dirigir su campaña de reelección del 2024

Roma (CNN) — La promesa clave de la campaña que llevó a Giorgia Meloni y su coalición de extrema derecha al poder en una victoria aplastante en las elecciones de septiembre pasado fue la de hacer lo que nadie más había hecho antes: impedir que los barcos de migrantes utilicen a Italia como puerta de entrada a Europa.“Blocco navale”, gritaban sus redes sociales (“¡Bloqueo naval ahora!), que se completaban con fotos de barcos de contrabandistas abarrotados.En la campaña electoral, prometió impedir que todos los barcos de migrantes desembarcaran en las costas italianas, sin importar quiénes estuvieran en ellos y qué los impulsara a arriesgar sus vidas.“Mussolini fue un buen político” y otros 4 episodios polémicos de Giorgia MeloniSus primeros cien días en el cargo se consideraron un éxito.No era tan de extrema derecha como algunos temían, y la política de carrera multilingüe se sentía cómoda con los líderes mundiales.Los líderes liberales europeos se beneficiarían de ...Today in History: April 24, hostage rescue mission fails
