Erdoğan and Kılıçdaroğlu square up for likely 2nd-round clash in Turkey

Published Fri, 01 Nov 2024 01:26:28 GMT

ISTANBUL — A singing, grinning President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan told supporters he was ready to fight a second round in Turkey’s election on May 28, sensing he had the momentum to beat his rival Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, who undershot expectations in Sunday’s first round. With 91 percent of votes counted, Turkey’s Supreme Election Council said in the early hours of Monday that Erdoğan had won 49.49 percent of the vote, only narrowly shy of the 50 percent needed for an outright win. Kılıçdaroğlu had secured 44.79 percent of the vote, disappointing a poll consensus that he had a narrow lead. A veteran electoral campaigner, a grandstanding Erdoğan appeared on a balcony of his AK party headquarters in Ankara with a microphone singing: “We love you so much” to the crowd and praising them for the “feast of democracy” they had just served up. Dismissing the opposition’s claims of foul play, he even predicted the final trickle of results on Sunday could pu...

Jaylen Brown salutes Garden fans’ effort

Published Fri, 01 Nov 2024 01:26:28 GMT

Make no mistake, the Celtics crowd showed up for Sunday’s Game 7 ready to roar.Eventually, so did Jaylen Brown — thanks in part to a punch in the nose.After the Celtics kept their series against the Philadelphia 76ers alive with a Game 6 win at Wells Fargo Center, Brown now famously challenged the Celtic fans to arrive for Game 7 on Sunday afternoon with more gusto than they’d able to muster in the playoffs thus far.It seemed like a questionably strategy at the time, but it worked. The fans were the engine that powered the Celts through some rough early going to a blowout 112-88 victory that catapulted them into Eastern Conference Finals against the Miami Heat.Brown, who endured a James Harden elbow/forearm in the chops, gave the props where they were due.“Nothing like a shot to the face to wake you right up,” said Brown. “It sparked the Garden. I called the Garden out in the last game and, way to respond. The energy in the building was through the roof. It was amazing. ...

Biden says Tuesday eyed to resume debt limit talks

Published Fri, 01 Nov 2024 01:26:28 GMT

REHOBOTH BEACH, Del. — President Joe Biden and congressional leaders will likely resume talks on Tuesday at the White House over the debt limit, the president said Sunday, as the nation continues to edge closer to its legal borrowing authority with no agreement in sight.The meeting was initially supposed to be Friday, but was abruptly postponed so staff-level talks could continue before Biden and the four congressional leaders huddled for a second time. Administration and congressional officials said Sunday that a meeting has not been finalized, although Tuesday was the likeliest option as Biden returns to Washington on Monday and is scheduled to leave for the Group of 7 summit in Japan on Wednesday.Biden did not detail much progress in the talks, but said he remained hopeful that an agreement could be reached with Republicans to avoid what would be an unprecedented debt default, which could trigger a financial catastrophe.“I remain optimistic because I’m a congenital op...
