By LINLEY SANDERS and NICHOLAS RICCARDI WASHINGTON (AP) — A majority of Republicans say they are confident in the 2024 vote count after Donald Trump’s win, according to a new poll that finds a sharp turnaround from GOP voters’ skepticism about U. S. elections after the president-elect spent four years lying about his loss to President Joe Biden. About 6 in 10 Republicans said they have “a great deal” or “quite a bit” of confidence that the votes in last year’s presidential election were counted correctly nationwide, according to the poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.

MIAMI — The tipping point apparently came in the wake of Wednesday’s victory over the New Orleans Pelicans when it came to Jimmy Butler’s souring relationship with the Miami Heat turning toxic. In the wake of an uneven effort that night by Butler, Butler’s camp was left with the perception that the team was considering a suspension. Then came Butler’s pointed comments after Thursday night’s loss to the visiting Indiana Pacers that he no longer saw a future with the Heat as a viable option. While not a public trade request, which is banned by the NBA, backchannel machinations have made apparent that Butler would agree to a trade to any of the 29 other NBA teams, the South Florida Sun Sentinel confirmed.

From Butler’s perspective, the Heat not only have made clear they do not plan to move forward with a contract extension, but the team has moved to an offensive system that does not allow him to display his true worth. Butler is under contract for $48.8 million this season.

Surgeon General Vivek Murthy proposed on Friday.

By DARLENE SUPERVILLE and FATIMA HUSSEIN, Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden will visit New Orleans next week, with the city still reeling from the deadly New Year’s rampage in which an Army veteran plowed a truck into revelers. The White House says the president and first lady will travel to New Orleans on Monday to “grieve with the families and community members impacted by the tragic attack.” Fourteen people were killed in the attack.

By ILLIA NOVIKOV, Associated Press KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — U. S. President-elect Donald Trump is “strong and unpredictable,” and those qualities can be a decisive factor in his policy approach to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, according to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. However, Zelenskyy said it won’t be possible to end the almost three years of war in one day, as Trump claimed during his election campaign that he could do. “The ‘hot’ stage of the war can end quite quickly, if Trump is strong in his position,” Zelenskyy said in a Ukrainian television interview late Thursday, referring to fighting on the battlefield. “I believe (Trump) is strong and unpredictable.
