WASHINGTON (AP) — For years, Pat Verhaeghe didn’t think highly of Donald Trump as a leader. Then Verhaeghe began seeing more of Trump’s campaign speeches online and his appearances at sporting events. There was even the former president’s pairing with Bryson DeChambeau as part of the pro golfer’s YouTube channel series to shoot an under-50 round of golf while engaging in chitchat with his partner. “I regret saying this, but a while ago I thought he was an idiot and that he wouldn’t be a good president,” said the 18-year-old first-time voter. “I think he’s a great guy now.” Verhaeghe isn't alone among his friends in suburban Detroit or young men across America. Although much of the electorate shifted right to varying degrees in 2024, young men were one of the groups that swung sharply toward Trump. More than half of men under 30 supported Trump, according to AP VoteCast , a survey of more than 120,000 voters, while Democrat Joe Biden had won a similar share of this group four years earlier. White men under 30 were solidly in Trump’s camp this year — about 6 in 10 voted for Trump — while young Latino men were split between the two candidates. Most Black men under 30 supported Democrat Kamala Harris, but about one-third were behind Trump. Young Latino men’s views of the Democratic Party were much more negative than in 2020, while young Black men’s views of the party didn’t really move. About 6 in 10 Latino men under 30 had a somewhat or very favorable view of the Democrats in 2020, which fell to about 4 in 10 this year. On the other hand, about two-thirds of young Black men had a favorable view of the Democrats this year, which was almost identical to how they saw the party four years ago. “Young Hispanic men, and really young men in general, they want to feel valued," said Rafael Struve, deputy communications director for Bienvenido, a conservative group that focused on reaching young Hispanic voters for Republicans this year. “They're looking for someone who fights for them, who sees their potential and not just their struggles.” Struve cited the attempted assassination of Trump during a July rally in Pennsylvania as one of the catalyzing moments for Trump’s image among many young men. Trump, Struve said, was also able to reach young men more effectively by focusing on nontraditional platforms like podcasts and digital media outlets. “Getting to hear from Trump directly, I think, really made all the difference," Struve said of the former president's appearances on digital media platforms and media catering to Latino communities, like town halls and business roundtables Trump attended in Las Vegas and Miami. Not only did Trump spend three hours on Joe Rogan's chart-topping podcast, but he took up DeChambeau's “Break 50” challenge for the golfer's more than 1.6 million YouTube subscribers. Trump already had an edge among young white men four years ago, although he widened the gap this year. About half of white men under 30 supported Trump in 2020, and slightly less than half supported Biden. Trump's gains among young Latino and Black men were bigger. His support among both groups increased by about 20 percentage points, according to AP VoteCast — and their feelings toward Trump got warmer, too. It wasn’t just Trump. The share of young men who identified as Republicans in 2024 rose as well, mostly aligning with support for Trump across all three groups. “What is most alarming to me is that the election is clear that America has shifted right by a lot,” said William He, founder of Dream For America, a liberal group that works to turn out young voters and supported Harris’ presidential bid. With his bombastic demeanor and a policy agenda centered on a more macho understanding of culture , Trump framed much of his campaign as a pitch to men who felt scorned by the country’s economy, culture and political system. Young women also slightly swung toward the former president, though not to the degree of their male counterparts. It's unclear how many men simply did not vote this year. But there's no doubt the last four years brought changes in youth culture and how political campaigns set out to reach younger voters. Democrat Kamala Harris' campaign rolled out policy agendas tailored to Black and Latino men, and the campaign enlisted a range of leaders in Black and Hispanic communities to make the case for the vice president. Her campaign began with a flurry of enthusiasm from many young voters, epitomized in memes and the campaign's embrace of pop culture trends like the pop star Charli XCX's “brat” aesthetic . Democrats hoped to channel that energy into their youth voter mobilization efforts. “I think most young voters just didn’t hear the message,” said Santiago Mayer, executive director of Voters of Tomorrow, a liberal group that engages younger voters. Mayer said the Harris campaign’s pitch to the country was “largely convoluted” and centered on economic messaging that he said wasn’t easily conveyed to younger voters who were not already coming to political media. “And I think that the policies themselves were also very narrow and targeted when what we really needed was a simple, bold economic vision,” said Mayer. Trump also embraced pop culture by appearing at UFC fights, football games and appearing alongside comedians, music stars and social media influencers. His strategists believed that the former president’s ability to grab attention and make his remarks go viral did more for the campaign than paid advertisements or traditional media appearances. Trump's campaign also heavily cultivated networks of online conservative platforms and personalities supportive of him while also engaging a broader universe of podcasts, streaming sites, digital media channels and meme pages open to hearing him. “The right has been wildly successful in infiltrating youth political culture online and on campus in the last couple of years, thus radicalizing young people towards extremism,” said He, who cited conservative activist groups like Turning Point USA as having an outsize impact in online discourse. “And Democrats have been running campaigns in a very old fashioned way. The battleground these days is cultural and increasingly on the internet.” Republicans may lose their broad support if they don't deliver on improving Americans' lives, Struve cautioned. Young men, especially, may drift from the party in a post-Trump era if the party loses the president-elect's authenticity and bravado. Bienvenido, for one group, will double down in the coming years to solidify and accelerate the voting pattern shifts seen this year, Struve said. “We don’t want this to be a one and done thing,” he said. ___ Associated Press writer Joey Cappelletti in Lansing, Michigan, and AP polling editor Amelia Thomson-DeVeaux contributed to this report.

SAN DIEGO, Dec. 26, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Robbins LLP reminds investors that a class action was filed on behalf of all persons and entities that purchased or otherwise acquired Xerox Holdings Corporation (NASDAQ: XRX) securities between January 25, 2024 and October 28, 2024.

For more information, submit a form , email attorney Aaron Dumas, Jr., or give us a call at (800) 350-6003. The Allegations: Robbins LLP is Investigating Allegations that Xerox Holdings Corporation (XRX) Misled Investors Regarding its Business Prospects According to the complaint, during the class period, defendants failed to disclose to investors that: (1) after a large workforce reduction, the Company’s salesforce was reorganized with new territory assignments and account coverage; (2) as a result, the Company’s salesforce productivity was disrupted; (3) as a result, the Company had a lower rate of sell-through of older products; (4) the difficulties in flushing out older product would delay the launch of key products; and (5) therefore, Xerox was likely to experience lower sales and revenue. Plaintiff alleges that on October 29, 2024, Xerox revealed “lower-than-expected improvements in sales force productivity” and “delays in the global launch of two new products” had led to “sales underperformance.” The Company disclosed that for third quarter 2024, quarterly revenue was down 7.5% year-over-year to $1.53 billion, net loss fell to -$1.2 billion (down $1.3 billion year-over-year), and equipment sales declined 12.2% year over year to $339 million. In a corresponding earnings call, the Company’s COO revealed the product delay was in fact a “forecasting issue” where the Company “had higher expectations that we were going to flush through the older product” which it needed to “sell through” in order to “make those transitions.” On this news, the Company’s share price fell $1.79, or 17.41%, to close at $8.49 per share on October 29, 2024.

Read unlimited articles for free today: Already have an account? WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Saturday he had an “excellent conversation” with Donald Trump at his Mar-a-Lago club after the president-elect’s threat to impose significant tariffs on two of America’s leading trade partners raised alarms in Ottawa and Mexico City. It was unclear, as Trudeau headed back to Canada from Florida, whether the conversation had alleviated Trump’s concerns. A person familiar with the details of the leaders’ hastily arranged meeting Friday night said it was a “positive wide-ranging dinner that lasted three hours.” The official, who was not authorized to discuss the matter publicly and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity, said topics included trade, border security, fentanyl, defense, Ukraine, NATO, China, the Mideast and pipelines, as well as the the Group of Seven meeting in Canada next year. The Republican president-elect has threatened to impose tariffs on products from Canada and Mexico if the countries don’t stop what he called the flow of drugs and migrants across their borders. He said he would impose a 25% tax on all products entering the U.S. from Canada and Mexico as one of his first executive orders when he takes office in January. As he was leaving his West Palm Beach hotel, Trudeau stopped briefly to answer a reporter’s question about the dinner meeting, saying it was “an excellent conversation.” Trump’s transition team did not respond to questions about what the leaders had discussed. Trump, during his first term as president, once called Trudeau “weak” and “dishonest,” but it was the prime minister who was the first G7 leader to visit Trump since the Nov. 5 election. “Tariffs are a crucial issue for Canada and a bold move was in order. Perhaps it was a risk, but a risk worth taking,” Daniel Béland, a political science professor at McGill University in Montreal. Among those at the dinner were Howard Lutnick, Trump’s pick for commerce secretary; North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum, in line to lead the Interior Department; and Mike Waltz, Trump’s choice to be his national security adviser. Accompanying Trudeau were Canada’s public safety minister, Dominic LeBlanc, whose responsibilities include border security, and Katie Telford, Trudeau’s chief of staff. Trudeau had said earlier Friday that he would resolve the tariffs issue by talking to Trump. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said a day earlier after speaking with Trump that she is confident a tariff war with the United States will be averted. Trudeau said Trump got elected because he promised to bring down the cost of groceries but now he’s talking about adding 25% to the cost of all kinds of products including potatoes from Prince Edward Island in Atlantic Canada. “It is important to understand that Donald Trump, when he makes statements like that, he plans on carrying them out. There’s no question about it,” Trudeau said before his leaving for Florida. “Our responsibility is to point out that he would not just be harming Canadians, who work so well with the United States, but he would actually be raising prices for Americans citizens as well and hurting American industry and business,” he added. To Nelson Wiseman, professor emeritus at the University of Toronto, Trump “doesn’t need convincing that new tariffs on Canadian products would not be in U.S. interests. He knows that, but cannot say it because it would detract from what he has said publicly. His goal is to project the image that he gets action when he talks.” Those tariffs could essentially blow up the North American trade pact that Trump’s team negotiated during his first term. Trudeau noted they were able to successfully renegotiate the deal, which he calls a “win win” for both countries. Trump made the tariff threat Monday while citing an influx of migrants entering the country illegally, even though the numbers at the Canadian border pale in comparison to those at the U.S.-Mexico border. Trump also spoke about fentanyl from Mexico and Canada, even though seizures from the Canadian border are few in comparison to the Mexican border.

Arrives a few hours prior to puck drop. Canadian officials say lumping Canada in with Mexico is unfair but say they are ready to make new investments in border security. When Trump imposed higher tariffs during his first term in office, other countries responded with retaliatory tariffs of their own. Canada, for instance, announced billions of new duties in 2018 against the U.S. in a response to new taxes on Canadian steel and aluminum. Canada is the top export destination for 36 U.S. states. Nearly $3.6 billion Canadian (US $2.7 billion) worth of goods and services cross the border each day. ___ Gillies reported from Toronto. Advertisement Advertisement
One of the longest serving Prime Ministers of India and the first Sikh to hold the powerful position, Manmohan Singh passed away on December 26, 2024. He was 92. The former PM of India, Manmohan Singh, was admitted to AIIMS hospital's emergency department on Thursday evening. "With profound grief, we inform the demise of the former Prime Minister of India , Dr Manmohan Singh, aged 92. He was being treated for age-related medical conditions and had a sudden loss of consciousness at home on 26 December 2024. Resuscitative measures were started immediately at home. He was brought to the Medical Emergency at AIIMS, New Delhi at 8:06 PM. Despite all efforts, he could not be revived and was declared dead at 9:51 PM. Kimalade," an offiial statement by the hospital read. He is survived by his wife Gursharan Kaur and three daughters namely: Upinder Singh , Daman Singh , and Amrit Singh and their families. All about Manmohan Singh's illustrious family Dr. Manmohan Singh (File photo) Born on September 26, 1932, in Gah, West Punjab (present day Pakistan), Manmohan Singh was the son of Gurmukh Singh and Amrit Kaur. During the India-Pakistan partition in 1947, Manmohan Singh and his family had migrated to Independent India. The family first migrated to Haldwani, India and a year later relocated to Amritsar in Punjab, India, as per Wikipedia. Manmohan Singh studied Economics from Panjab University, followed by the University of Cambridge and a doctorate in Economics from University of Oxford. He worked for the United Nations from 1966–1969, after which he started his bureaucratic career when Shri Lalit Narayan Mishra hired Singh as an advisor in the Indian Ministry of Commerce and Industry, as per Wikipedia. This was the beginning of his illustrious career and the rest, as they say, is history. In 1958, Manmohan Singh married Gursharan Kaur, who went on to be his partner for life. Just like Singh, his wife Gursharan Kaur was also quite learned as she was a history professor and an author. NEW DELHI, INDIA - FEBRAURY 05: In this photo provided by the German Government Press Office (BPA), (L-R) Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, his wife Gursharan Kaur and Congress Party President Sonia Gandhi are seen ahead of the state banquet at the official residence of the state president on February 5, 2014 in new Delhi, India. Gauck is in India for an official six day visit. (Photo by Guido Bergmann/Bundesregierung via Getty Images) Manmohan Singh and his wife Gursharan Kaur have three daughters-- Upinder Singh, Daman Singh, and Amrit Singh-- who are just as well-educated as their parents. Here are more details about them: Upinder Singh is a History professor and Dean of Faculty at the Ashoka University, and she is also an author with six books to her credit. She is also the former head of the History Department at the University of Delhi, and she has won several awards including the 2009 Infosys Prize for Social Sciences. Some of her notable books are: 'Ancient Delhi' and 'A History of Ancient and Early Medieval India'. Their second daughter, Daman Singh studied from St. Stephen's College in Delhi and the Institute of Rural Management in Anand, Gujarat (IRMA). She too is an author and some of her books are 'The Last Frontier: People', 'Forests in Mizoram', a novel titled 'Nine by Nine'. She also wrote her parents Manmohan Singh and Gursharan Kaur's biography titled 'Strictly Personal'. Daman Singh is married to Ashok Pattnaik, who is an Indian Police Service (IPS) officer of 1983 batch. In 2016, he served as the CEO of the National Intelligence Grid (NATGRID). Meanwhile, Manmohan Singh and Gursharan Kaur's youngest daughter, Amrit Singh , is a human rights lawyer and a Professor at the Stanford Law School where she teaches the Practice of Law. She is also the founding Executive Director of Rule of Law Impact Lab, as per reports. Former-PM Manmohan Singh's works often spoke much louder than his words. He was described as "one of the world's most revered leaders" and "a man of uncommon decency and grace", by The Independent. Meanwhile, the late Khushwant Singh once even lauded Singh as the best prime minister India has had, as per Wikipedia. The scholar, economist, bureaucrat and the 13th Prime Minister of India, Shri Manmohan Singh will forever be remembered for his works and integrity. Manmohan Singh Dies At 92; Remembering The 'Accidental Prime Minister' With Controversial BiopicWayne Gretzky may not be convinced he needs to follow President-Elect Trump’s advice to run for prime minister of Canada, but his wife, Janet, at least thinks enough of the idea to share it on social media. On Wednesday, Trump took to social media and suggested that hockey great Wayne Gretzky replace the embattled current prime minister. “I just left Wayne Gretzky, ‘The Great One as he is known in Ice Hockey circles,” Trump wrote. I said, ‘Wayne, why don’t you run for Prime Minister of Canada, soon to be known as the Governor of Canada – You would win easily, you wouldn’t even have to campaign.’ “He had no interest, but I think the people of Canada should start a DRAFT WAYNE GRETZKY Movement. It would be so much fun to watch!” Janet Gretzky posted the president-elect’s message on her Instagram stories and the link. Trump’s suggestion comes amid mounting pressure on Trudeau to resign following the resignation of his Finance Minister, Chrystia Freeland, earlier this month. The resignation of a prominent Trudeau cabinet member did not escape Trump’s attention, who needled the Canadian prime minister on social media. “The Great State of Canada is stunned as the Finance Minister resigns, or was fired, from her position by Governor Justin Trudeau,” Trump wrote on Truth Social, once again floating the idea that Canada should become part of the United States. “Her behavior was totally toxic, and not at all conducive to making deals which are good for the very unhappy citizens of Canada. She will not be missed!!!” Trudeau’s Liberal Party potentially faces a no-confidence vote in January. Currently, the Liberal Party is in coalition with the New Democratic Party (NDP). However, should the no-confidence vote occur, that coalition would assuredly collapse, and Canadians could head to the polls in a special election far earlier than the planned federal election in October of 2025.A Monmouthshire writer and disability activist has been named in the Shaw Trust Disability Power 100 2024. Bethany Handley, who is also a poet, was named as one of the ten most influential disabled people working in politics, law and media in the UK. She was recognised for her impact, innovation and influence in changing the perceptions and stereotypes of disability. Her award-winning writing, poetry and campaigning calls for better access to nature for disabled people. Bethany is an ambassador for Country Living’s Access for All campaign, for Wales Coast Path and for Ramblers Cymru. Bethany said: “I’m honoured to be featured on this year’s disability power 100 list alongside so many disabled change makers I look up to. "I’m looking forward to continuing campaigning for better access to nature, ensuring we can all help to create equality in the outdoors.” “When I became a wheelchair user, I found myself padlocked out of a lot of our countryside. I’ve since learnt that the physical and attitudinal barriers the most marginalised in our society face when accessing nature are removable. We can all help to open up the countryside to more people.” Head of Disability Power 100, Alona De Havilland, said: “The Disability Power 100 is all about creating change, it celebrates ambition and achievement, and plays a role in challenging society’s perceptions of disability by recognising the strengths, contributions and successes of 100 disabled individuals each year. “We all need role models. People who are pioneers and changemakers. This year we witnessed our Team GB Paralympians rightly celebrated for their elite athleticism, sporting prowess and determination to succeed. "The Disability Power 100 celebrates disabled roles models with the same determination, expertise and ambition in all sectors from architecture to construction; finance to healthcare; transport to music. It is a rallying cry to future generations of leaders and a call for employers and society to recognise the talents and skills of disabled people.” The awards are publicly nominated and judged by a panel of 25 disabled champions including international leader Dr Shani Dhanda, chief executive of Paralympics GB, David Clark and Coronation Street actor Cherylee Houston.49ers coach Kyle Shanahan expresses confidence in struggling kicker Jake Moody
LOS ANGELES — Matthew Stafford speaks about it often this time of year. The beauty of meaningful football in December. How invigorating it is. How it can’t be taken for granted. If anyone would know, it would be Stafford. Prior to his trade to the Rams before the 2021 season, Stafford’s teams didn’t often have things at stake by the time the calendar turned to the 12th month. He made the playoffs three times in 12 years with the Detroit Lions, and in the down years his team often wasn’t even in the hunt. But in the thick of his third December with the Rams – he missed the final month of 2022 with injuries – Stafford has continued to thrive as the weather gets colder. With four straight wins to start the month, Stafford has improved to 12-1 in December during his Rams tenure, with the chance to improve on that in Saturday night’s game against the Arizona Cardinals. “It’s nice to be on a little bit of a run right now. The cool thing about this group is we know that we earn every single bit of it,” Stafford said. “We don’t win the next game because we’ve won however many times before it. You don’t lose the next game because you had a hiccup the week before, whatever it is. You have to go out there and earn it every single week.” Stafford has completed 67% of his 100 passes this month for 773 yards, five touchdowns and one interception. That improves his overall December stats with the Rams (9-6) to a 66.8% completion rate for 3,272 yards, 25 touchdowns and seven interceptions. The only December loss for Stafford with the Rams came last season in a road game against the Baltimore Ravens that went to overtime and ended with a 76-yard punt return for a touchdown . Aside from that fluky result, a clean record. “He’s just clutch,” head coach Sean McVay said. “The best part about Matthew Stafford is he’s got all these amazing numbers and stats that he’s put up and he’s this special quarterback; he wants to win. And I think he understands what it takes, especially in that month when that’s such a critical time to be able to peak at the right time if you’re gonna get an opportunity to get into the tournament.” A moment that stood out to McVay this month came during the Rams’ final drive in a Week 15 win at San Francisco . After the two-minute warning and in 49er territory, leading by three and trying to add more to the scoreboard, Stafford stood in the shotgun formation with an empty backfield. He sent receiver Cooper Kupp in motion, which pulled defensive backs Talanoa Hufanga and Deommodore Lenoir across the field and away from tight end Colby Parkinson. The play wasn’t designed to go to Parkinson, but Stafford recognized the open man and found Parkinson on a seam route for a 14-yard gain. The play got the Rams a fresh set of downs to burn the 49ers’ timeouts and some clock, too, and put the team comfortably into Joshua Karty’s field goal range to add three extra points. “We’ve done a really nice job, especially as of late, just understanding that it’s really more about us than anything else,” Stafford said. “We go out there, we play the way we know how to play, do the things that we’re supposed to do and know how to play the game of football. It’s just whoever’s next up just happens to be. We’ve taken that approach as of late and it’s been a really good outcome for us.” Rams right tackle Rob Havenstein typically gets a veteran rest day on Fridays at this point in the season, or in this case with a Saturday game, on Thursday. But after injuring his shoulder in practice on Wednesday, Havenstein wouldn’t have been able to practice Thursday if he wanted to, McVay said. Asked if Havenstein will be able to play on Saturday, McVay said, “I’m hopeful. We’ll see.” But if Havenstein isn’t able to play, the Rams will turn to Joe Noteboom to fill in over second-year tackle Warren McClendon Jr.None

What happened Turns out Illinois’ offense didn’t lose any of its explosiveness on a frigid Saturday afternoon in Chicago. Chunk plays that doubled as touchdowns from Aidan Laughery and Pat Bryant were the difference maker in the Illini’s 38-28 victory against Northwestern that made sure the Land of Lincoln Trophy was headed back to Champaign from Wrigley Field. Enough “bend, don’t break” defense by the Illini helped those big plays stand up in the 10-point win. What it means Bret Bielema took the Illinois job in December 2020 with the goal of turning the program into a consistent winner. The consistency part is still up for debate given last year’s dip, but the Illini have certainly done more winning in Bielema’s first four years as coach than his predecessors. Hitting the nine-win mark Saturday against Northwestern is a first for the program since 2007 and something just two other teams (1989 and 2001) accomplished in the past 40 years. What’s next Illinois might be seen as virtual lock for a late December trip to Orlando and a spot in the Cheez-It Citrus Bowl, but the postseason slate won’t be determined until next weekend after the conclusion of conference championship games across the country. But it seems like the only way the Illini won’t play in their highest profile bowl game since the 2007 team went to the Rose Bowl is if Indiana is snubbed out of the 12-team College Football Playoff field. What was said “It’s kind of like a long bye week. You get a deep breath. You get to rest your body and all of that stuff. There’s a lot of transition, but I don’t know if that’s the focus. I don’t think seeing who’s leaving and who’s coming in is the focus. I think it’s where we’re at and where this program is at and where we want to go and how do we get there with all the change that’s going on?” — Illinois safety Matthew Bailey on the Illini’s next month
