(CNN) — Cuando se supo que un alto asesor del candidato presidencial republicano Vivek Ramaswamy se uniría a la campaña del expresidente Donald Trump el mes pasado, los asesores de Trump se pusieron furiosos creyendo que el asesor se estaba promocionando a sí mismo, sin el permiso de los altos mandos de la campaña.El asesor principal de la campaña de Trump, Chris LaCivita, llamó al miembro más nuevo del equipo, Brian Swenson, y “lo atacó”, según dos fuentes familiarizadas con la conversación. El mensaje era claro: si quieres conservar tu trabajo, deja de hablar, dijo la fuente. Swenson no respondió a la solicitud de comentarios de CNN.El episodio fue indicativo de cómo el equipo de Trump para 2024 trató de centrar los mensajes y los medios que rodean el caótico mundo del favorito a la nominación republicana. Su equipo es visto tanto por agentes políticos externos como por funcionarios actuales y anteriores de Trump como el más disciplinado hasta la fecha. Dirigido por los expe...

DeSantis enlists help to make closing case to Iowans – and to undercut Haley in the Hawkeye State

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:17:58 GMT

(CNN) — Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is enlisting new help in Iowa as he scrambles to ward off mounting interest in the rival presidential candidacy of former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley: One of her former constituents.South Carolina state Sen. Josh Kimbrell, a deeply conservative lawmaker who has pushed a legislative agenda in his state similar to contentious laws championed by DeSantis in Florida, will join the Republican governor for stops in Iowa on Thursday and Friday, where he intends to share a perspective from the Palmetto State on its former leader, he told CNN.“I know Governor Haley, and I have no personal ill will against her, but I can’t point to any significant conservative accomplishment in her tenure as governor and I have found it difficult to nail down where she stands on positions,” Kimbrell said in a phone interview Wednesday. “I know what she actually did versus what she said she did.”Kimbrell’s arrival in a state about 1,000 miles from his own further...

Denver Broncos to bench quarterback Russell Wilson for the remainder of the 2023 NFL season

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:17:58 GMT

(CNN) — The Denver Broncos are benching quarterback Russell Wilson for the remainder of the 2023 NFL season, team head coach Sean Payton told reporters on Wednesday.“Rather than get into the specifics — because I think that would be unfair today — it’s more about what we weren’t doing effectively enough offensively,” Payton said.“When we were getting two or three turnovers, that’s one thing. Ultimately, our job is to get the ball in the end zone, and we have to be more efficient doing that — all of us.”Payton said Jarrett Stidham will start the final two games of the season. Stidham, a former fourth-round draft pick of the New England Patriots in 2019 out of Auburn University, was signed as a free agent this past offseason.Payton added that the decision was not an indictment on only Wilson but the offense as a whole.“I can’t replace the entire offensive line,” Payton said. “I can’t bring in five new receivers. If it continues over a period of time, there wil...
