A survey conducted by Emerson Polling in mid-February showed that 20 percent of respondents thought Harris would make the best vice president. Entrepreneur Andrew Yang, who also ran for president, was a close second, with support from 18 percent of respondents. Former Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, who lost to Trump in 2016, came in third with 16 percent support, while former Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams, who has said she’d like to be vice president, placed fourth with support from 8 percent of respondents....

Speculation has been mounting after the cancellation of the medal ceremony for the figure skating team event won by the Russian Olympic Committee (ROC) in a performance spearheaded by the 15-year-old. The chair of the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee’s board of directors said the case has left the credibility of the Olympic movement “teetering on the edge.” Russian newspapers RBC and Kommersant were the first to report that before the Beijing event, Valieva tested positive for banned heart medication Trimetazidine, a metabolic agent that helps prevent angina attacks and treats vertigo....

The England international blazed his spot-kick well over the bar after slipping slightly during his side’s 4-1 victory in the Premier League on Wednesday. Kane, who got on the scoresheet in the win, was happy to joke about his effort afterwards. The NFL provided an intrigued, albeit less intriguing, response. Kane has scored eight Premier League goals this season, with Spurs sitting fifth in the table.

The Ligue 1 giants spent heavily this past summer, first landing Neymar from Barcelona in a record €222 million deal and then Kylian Mbappe from rivals Monaco. The reinforcements were supposed to propel PSG beyond their last-16 stumbling block, but instead they were defeated once more at that stage with Real Madrid being the latest team to perform the honors. Blame has naturally fallen at the feet of Emery, but Kanoute, a former Lyon, West Ham, Tottenham and Sevilla striker, thinks the club are still a work in progress, even if they can roll out a star-studded XI....

Jayhawks coach Bill Self said per NCAA rules, Tharpe would have needed prior approval to play in that game. With Tharpe out, freshman Frank Mason is expected to start in his place. Mason was just a 3-star prospect coming out of high school, but the Jayhawks liked his toughness enough to recruit him. “Mason’s going to put pressure on everybody to be better,” Self told Sporting News in July. “He wants it so bad … Our workouts have been so competitive....

CNN correspondent Gary Tuchman, reporting from outside a church in Basehor Sunday, said most religious facilities in the area have vowed to remain closed because it is “against the law to have a church service on Easter with more than 10 people inside” due to the coronavirus pandemic. One exception, Tuchman continued, was a church in Basehor holding three services on Sunday. “The one at 7 a.m. had more than 50 people, the one at 10 a....

West, who’s legally changed his name to Ye, has made headline after headline in recent weeks over a litany of antisemitic and anti-Black comments. He angered many after he appeared at his Yeezy fashion show in Paris on October 3 wearing a shirt that proclaimed “White Lives Matter.” Jewish organizations and anti-hate groups have also condemned West for saying that he planned to go “death con 3 on Jewish people....

On Monday, the Arizona election results were certified, with Lake losing to Democratic rival Katie Hobbs by just over 17,000 votes. In response, Lake filed a 70-page lawsuit against Hobbs and a number of election officials in Maricopa County, which included Phoenix, the Arizona state capital. It claims that voting irregularities “nullifies” the result, meaning either Lake should be declared the winner or the election refought. The lawsuit says: “Lake received the greatest number of votes and is entitled to be named the winner....

The petition was filed by Ryan Heath, who founded The Gavel Project, a nonprofit organization that describes its work as “peacefully fighting for civil liberties on behalf of victims suffering from the abuses of woke ideologues.” Heath’s petition requests that Judge Peter A. Thompson vacate his dismissal of Lake’s election contest and issue an order removing Hobbs, who has already been sworn in as Arizona’s governor, from office. Lake came up short in her race with Hobbs in the November 8, 2022, election, though it took days before the race was called in Hobbs’ favor as mail-in votes were slowly counted....

Lake, a Republican who was endorsed by former President Donald Trump, has brought a lawsuit against the results of the election where she was defeated by Democratic Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs. “I think it’s unlikely a judge is going to come in and reverse the current standing,” Kirk told conservative network OAN in remarks shared to Twitter by PatriotTakes, which describes itself as “researchers monitoring and exposing right-wing extremism....

The representative pointed out that the Republican politician would have to admit she has lost the gubernatorial race to run for senator. “Arizona has a very strict resign to run law. It’s not possible for her to be Arizona’s shadow governor and a Senate candidate at the same time,” Gallego wrote on Twitter on Monday. Arizona’s resign-to-run law, as mentioned by the Democratic congressman, prohibits elected officials not in the final year of their term from running for a position without vacating the current one first....

My diplomatic career has taken me many places, and I have been incredibly blessed to have spent much of it in the United States. On the Fourth, it’s impossible not to get caught up in the excitement and celebration. One cannot help but enjoy the sight of all the Stars and Stripes flying atop buildings and hanging from windows. And the Fourth of July fireworks, of course, are the highlight of the day for the young and old alike....

Schmeichel senior enjoyed a decorated career with Manchester United, but the 129-time Denmark international was unable to keep out any of the three Premier League spot-kicks he faced at Old Trafford. Leicester City goalkeeper Kasper eclipsed his legendary dad, though, pushing aside Lukaku’s 53rd-minute attempt, although his side did go on to lose 2-0. While overtaken in one respect, Peter – who retired after spells with Sporting CP, Aston Villa and Manchester City – can still take solace in the five Premier League titles, three FA Cups and the Champions League crown he won with the Red Devils....
