Attendees at this week’s RNC say they expect the 2024 presidential primary contest to mimic that of 2016, with a wide array of incumbent congressional members, governors and business leaders. And while there may not be another reality TV star who runs again in four years, many in the Republican Party say who their 2024 candidates are hinges solely on Trump’s re-election bid this year.

Getting back to the race track Friday helped, but Gordon — who won the pole for the season-ending Ford 400 at Homestead-Miami Speedway — still was left wondering might have been. And it also left him wondering about how he would change the new Chase for the Sprint Cup format.

RELATED: Gotham Knights: Explaining Clayface’s Comic Origins Despite mixed reviews, Gotham Knights is packed with enough content to keep DC superhero fans busy for a long time.

Even though WB Games Montreal is trying its hardest to put some physical space between Gotham Knights and The Dark Knight, Batman’s presence is guaranteed to loom over the game in more ways than one. The topic of who inherits the hero’s cowl, regardless of whether Bruce Wayne returns to action, will likely underpin the game’s narrative as the surviving members of his family fight the Court of Owls. Based on historical precedents and fan reception, Dick Grayson’s Nightwing is the most likely candidate to pick up the mantle of Batman at some point during the game’s story....

Gotham Knights is currently in the midst of intermittent character spotlights that highlight each character individually, and other details about Gotham Knights’ co-op functionality was offered recently. But if Gotham Knights truly wishes for its characters to stand out in-game, it should feature unique, cinematic endings for each....

“I’m not prepared to say what we will do in June,” Cuomo told reporters, one day after New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio announced that citywide school closures would remain in place through the end of the current academic year. Cuomo originally seemed to disagree with the mayor’s decision, describing it as an “opinion” and citing a need for further discussion in his own subsequent comments. When asked to clarify the state’s position on resuming in-person instruction on Sunday, he confirmed school closures would persist for at least the foreseeable future but emphasized that June—during which classes would ordinarily take place for several weeks before summer break—is still a ways ahead....
