Kamala Harris would overtain Biden in a hypothetical electoral duel against Trump
The vice president of the United States, Kamala Harris, hoards a greater voting intention than the current president, Joe Biden, in case she was the one who faced former President Donald Trump in the November elections, in which the Republican is in the lead in both cases.
A poll exposed by CNN points out that if the situation remains as it was until now, with a duel between Biden and Trump, 49% of voters would give their confidence to the Republican and 43% to the Democrat.
In the event that the candidate was Harris, 47% say they would vote for Trump and 45% for her.
That margin of difference, according to the channel, is narrow enough to think that in that scenario “there is no clear leader.”
Harris’ support lies in part in greater support from women and independent voters: half of the voters would bet on Harris, compared to 44% who would opt for Trump, and among the independents the vice president surpasses the Republican pre-candidate by nine percentage points difference.
The conversation around a new Democratic figure has taken shape after Biden’s weak performance in the debate on June 27, in which he was seen hesitant, without finishing some sentences and without countering Trump’s hoaxes.
Since then, other democratic names have begun to emerge as alternatives, although no one has taken the step.
If he were the governor of California, Gavin Newsom, Trump would have 48% of the voting intentions and Newsom would have 43. With the governor of Michigan, Gretchen Whitmer, there are also five points of difference, in that hypothesis by 47 against 43%.
In general, according to the CNN poll, voters prefer any other Democratic candidate instead of Biden.
75% believe that that party would have better chances on November 5 if the nominee were not the current president.
In the case of those who identify themselves as democrats, the opinion that an alternative would be better also prevails. 56% estimate that the party would do better with another candidate, compared to 43% who continue to defend Biden.
The president has said that he does not plan to retire: “I would not show up again if I did not believe with all my heart and soul that I can do the job. There is too much at stake,” he said a day after his face-to-face with Trump, which took place at CNN headquarters in Atlanta.
Trump, for his part, maintains the favor of his electorate. 83% of Republicans believe that the conservative party will do better in November with him as a candidate, 11 percentage points more than those who thought it in January.
CNN emphasizes that, despite the former president’s advantage in the polls, the opinion about him in general remains low.
39% have a good rating and 54% a bad one, percentages similar to those expressed last fall.

Seven bodies found with signs of torture in Sinaloa
Mexican authorities discovered seven lifeless bodies on Wednesday, showing clear signs of torture, in the rural area of Culiacán, Sinaloa, just one day after the same number of bodies was found in several municipalities in the western state of Mexico.
Six of these seven victims were found along the side of the highway that connects Culiacán to Mazatlán, near Laguna de Canachi, according to local media reports, which also noted that messages addressed to a criminal group were found near the bodies.
This brings the total number of violent deaths in the region to seven within just 24 hours. On Tuesday, authorities reported more victims found in the municipalities of Culiacán, Elota, and Mazatlán.
Among the victims identified was a local cattle rancher named Ramón Velázquez Ontiveros, as well as a police officer from Mazatlán, who was killed by a motorcyclist outside his home in San Marcos.

Málaga paralyzed by new storm as torrential rains hit Spain
Thousands of people were evacuated and trains were suspended as torrential rains once again struck Spain on Wednesday, following the devastating floods that killed at least 223 people two weeks ago, most of them in the Valencia region.
The national meteorological agency (Aemet) issued a maximum, red-level alert for the Andalusian province of Málaga in the south, and for Tarragona in the northeast, due to the new DANA (isolated depression at high levels), also known as a cold drop.
The city of Málaga appeared to be the hardest hit by the rains, with more than 3,000 people evacuated from 1,000 homes near rivers, flooded streets, and the suspension of urban transport and train services to Madrid.
“Today Málaga is paralyzed,” said Andalusia’s regional president, Juan Manuel Moreno, to reporters. “I know it is a problem for citizens not being able to take their children to school or go to work, but after what we saw in Valencia, we need to ‘prevent’ and minimize the impact in terms of loss of life,” he added.
The storm also led to the postponement of a match between Spain and Poland in the Billie Jean King Cup women’s tennis competition, which was scheduled for Wednesday afternoon in Málaga.

Hezbollah launches explosive drone strike on Israel’s defense headquarters
The Lebanese Islamist movement Hezbollah claimed on Wednesday that it launched an attack with explosive drones against the Israeli army’s headquarters in Tel Aviv.
The Iran-backed organization reported in a statement that it had carried out “an aerial attack with a squadron of explosive drones” targeting the site that houses Israel’s main defense institutions.
Hezbollah later stated that it also fired a barrage of rockets at the Glilot military intelligence base in the suburbs of Tel Aviv.
The Israeli military indicated that “sirens sounded in several areas of northern and central Israel following the launch of projectiles from Lebanon.”
It later clarified that “five projectiles were identified over the territory, and some were intercepted.”
