Biden-von der Leyen 2024?

Published Mon, 30 Dec 2024 20:03:45 GMT

Up for election in 2024? The transatlantic alliance. By a quirk of timing, 2024 will see not only America elect a president, but Europe choose its next slate of top EU officials.And with Joe Biden officially launching his re-election campaign last week, the U.S. president is now one step closer to facing voters within months of his EU counterpart, Ursula von der Leyen, who is still deciding whether to seek her own second term atop the European Commission.In many ways, the personal chemistry between the two is on the ballot. The two leaders have forged strong ties while in office together despite persistent friction between the U.S. and Europe over everything from tariffs to subsidies to security deals.That means that whether the duo stays or goes will inevitably have profound consequences for the transatlantic alliance.A defeated Biden could mean a return of Donald Trump, who as president launched a trade war with Europe, openly questioned multilateralism and cast the European Union...

Published Mon, 30 Dec 2024 20:03:45 GMT

ARLINGTON – Former Yankees starter Nathan Eovaldi dominated his former team Saturday, cruising through the injury-riddled New York lineup in a complete-game shutout for the Texas Rangers.Eovaldi only allowed three hits and struck out eight in the 2-0 win over the Yankees, who dropped their second straight in Arlington without star slugger Aaron Judge.The 33-year-old Eovaldi — who signed a two-year, $34 million contract with Texas in the offseason — entered with a 5.20 ERA and hadn’t gone more than six innings in a game this year. But Eovaldi, who went 23-11 with the Yankees from 2015-16, returned to form Saturday, repeatedly hurling fastballs a few ticks harder than the 93.9 mph he averaged over his first five starts.“He kind of bullied us,” Yankees manager Aaron Boone said. “Used both sides of the plate, was a little unpredictable. He was slowing us down a little bit with the curveball, but obviously the cutter and the split, and stuff-wise...
