Trump’s 2024 GOP rivals converge on Atlanta just days after his latest indictment

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 08:27:04 GMT

ATLANTA (AP) — Several Republican White House hopefuls are set to greet a conservative conference with hopes of making up ground against Donald Trump. But his shadow may be especially difficult to escape in the city where he was most recently indicted.Trump won’t speak at The Gathering, an Atlanta event by syndicated radio host Erick Erickson taking place Friday and Saturday about 10 miles from the jail where the former president has to surrender before next Friday on a racketeering indictment related to the 2020 election. Six of his 2024 rivals, meanwhile, are scheduled for onstage interviews with Erickson, an influential conservative who has been critical of the former president. The timing sets up one more example of the struggle Trump’s GOP opponents face: He dominates the primary polls and media attention — especially on cable news and talk radio — even as he faces multiple criminal indictments for alleged actions before, during and after his presidency.

Nolan Gorman heads to IL with back strain

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 08:27:04 GMT

ST. LOUIS - More tough luck hits the St. Louis Cardinals in a challenging season. Young slugger Nolan Gorman lands on the injured list with a lower back strain. Gorman, who ranks second on the team in home runs and RBI, has dealt with back tightness periodically throughout the season. He will be sidelined through at least the final week of August. Along with Gorman's injuries, the Cardinals have been a bit banged up in recent days. Willson Contreras, Lars Nootbaar and Tommy Edman all left games earlier this week with various injury concerns. Many mysteries around next year’s Cardinals rotation; Mo wants to add ‘three starters’ In a corresponding move to placing Gorman on the injured list, the Cardinals call up minor-league prospect Richie Palacios, acquired from the Cleveland Guardians in June. Shortly after the move Thursday, top prospect Masyn Winn played one more game with Triple-A Memphis. Hours later, he has been recalled from the minors for his big-league debut. Winn ranks...
