Outside linebacker Jonah Elliss was coming off surgery to repair a torn labrum. Wide receiver Troy Franklin weighed in at the scouting combine eight pounds lighter due to having suffered the flu and there were allegations made about his commitment to football. Running back Audric Estime ran the slowest time at the combine. Wide receiver Devaughn Vele was in line to turn 27 as a rookie. Those were some of the reasons players selected in the draft last April went lower than they had expected. But the Broncos saw beyond some of these possible issues. “With each player when we drafted them, we probably had a grade two rounds earlier,’’ said Broncos coach Sean Payton, excluding quarterback Bo Nix being taken No. 12 in the first round out of Oregon. “That doesn’t happen often. I think most importantly was the vision for each guy.” The Broncos (6-5) have an impressive class of rookies, starting with Nix, who is getting better each week and was AFC Offensive Player of the Week after throwing for 307 yards and four touchdowns in last Sunday’s 38-6 win over Atlanta. Elliss, taken with the No. 76 pick in the third round of Utah, has been a key performer off the bench and has three sacks entering Sunday’s game at Las Vegas. Franklin, who went No. 102 in the fourth round out of Oregon, has 17 catches for 159 yards and two touchdowns. Estime, selected No. 147 in the fifth round from Notre Dame, has 164 yards rushing in seven games and is pushing Javonte Williams to be Denver’s top back. And Vele, who went No. 235 in the seventh round out of Utah, has 26 catches for 281 yards and a touchdown. Overall, the Broncos had seven picks in the draft. Among the other two, cornerback Kris Abrams-Draine (fifth round, No. 145) has been inactive for all 11 games this season, and offensive lineman Nick Gargiulo (seventh round, No. 256) is on the practice squad. It might be a stretch to say the Broncos had projected Elliss as a first-round pick, which would have been two rounds ahead of where he went. Still, Elliss, who had 12 sacks in 10 games for the Utah Utes prior to his shoulder surgery last November, likely would have gone in the second round had there not been medical questions. “For sure,’’ Elliss said about whether going later than he had expected has given him additional motivation. “You see that all the time where guys are projected to go somewhere and they go a little later and they got that extra chip on their shoulder. I would say you get that for sure.” Franklin has a chip on his shoulder. As Nix’s teammate with the Ducks last season, he caught 81 passes for 1,383 yards and 14 touchdowns. So why did he fall so far after he thought he could go in the second round and figured there was no way he would last past the third? “I think, one because, I weighed in really light at the combine,’’ said the 6-foot-3 Franklin, who weighed 176 pounds after playing at 184 last season with the Ducks. “I got sick a week or two prior and I just wasn’t eating.” Franklin, now back up to 184 pounds, said he also dropped in the draft “because of some of the things that people were saying about me.” Oregon coach Dan Lanning said last May there were some scouts who said “the guy doesn’t love football,’’ something Lanning dismissed. “Yeah, some weird stuff,’’ Franklin said. “That’s one of the things I heard, too. I’ve been playing since I was like five. I put in all the work in everything it takes to get here. I definitely love the sport.” For Estime, there also was a number at the combine that hurt his stock. It was his 40-yard dash time of 4.71 seconds, the lowest for any running back in Indianapolis. “I didn’t run the 40 in what I was supposed to,’’ said the 5-11, 227-pound Estime, who rushed for 1,341 yards and 18 touchdowns last year with the Fighting Irish. “But at the end of the day, I’m not a track runner, I’m a football player and I play football at a high level.” While getting drafted lower than projected affects a player with his contract in his first four seasons, Estime is pleased he ended up with the Broncos. “I definitely feel like I went later than I thought, but I don’t really even think about that anymore,’’ Estime said. “I’m really focused on what’s in front of us and we have a really good draft class. Coach Payton said it when we first got there that we got something special and it’s showing. “Coach Payton said he had a third-round draft grade on me and a lot of other teams thought (that). This is the best fit for me. ... But I definitely use (getting drafted lower than expected) for a little extra motivation.” Vele, who caught 98 passes in his final two seasons with the Utes, also called the Broncos an ideal fit for him. Vele, who had gone on a Mormon mission to Samoa for two years before enrolling in college and then spent five years at Utah, likely fell in the draft since he was 26 at the time and will turn 27 on Dec. 12. “It doesn’t matter,’’ he said. “All that matters is this is a production-based business and you’ve got to make sure you produce.” Asked if he has a chip on his shoulder due to being selected so late, Vele said, “I feel you should always have a chip on your shoulder regardless of where you’re drafted.” Put it all together and early reviews have been glowing for Denver’s draft class. “Heck, yeah,’’ Franklin said. “I think the Broncos got good value in this draft. We’re going to go out there and do what we do. We don’t really care about where we got picked at now. It’s over, and we’re still playing.” What I’m hearing -- When Broncos safety JL Skinner was growing up in San Diego, he became a “big fan” of basketball star Kawhi Leonard when he played for San Diego State from 2009-11. After Leonard entered the NBA, Skinner’s favorite team has been the one that has the forward. “I just follow Kawhi wherever he goes,’’ said Skinner, who has followed him from San Antonio to Toronto and to the Los Angeles Clippers since 2019. Skinner has never met Leonard but would welcome doing so. “I like how he plays at his own pace,’’ he said. “You can’t speed him up and you can’t slow him down, he’s just going to get to his spot. And I like his defense.” -- Defensive back Steve Foley is relishing having been inducted into the Broncos Ring of Fame at their Oct. 6 game against the Raiders at Empower Field at Mile High. “I never thought an orange blazer could look so good as when I saw the other Ring of Famers present that weekend,’’ said Foley, who played for the Broncos from 1976-86 and is their all-time interception leader with 44. “Dennis Smith walked up. Steve Atwater. Randy Gradisher. I was looking around, saying, ‘Man, those orange blazers look good.’’’ What I’m thinking -- Payton brought up a good point when talking about why the Broncos had no problem with the NFL flexing a Week 16 game on Sunday, Dec. 22 at the Los Angeles Chargers to Thursday Night Football on Dec. 19. They could have nixed the flex since it gives Denver two games this season on the road on a Thursday after playing on Sunday. But Payton noted that flexed out was the Cleveland at Cincinnati game and the Broncos now will have three more days of rest than the Bengals for a Week 17 game at Cincinnati, rather than the other way around. That game could be pivotal for the Broncos in their quest to make the playoffs. It will be played either on Saturday, Dec. 27 or Sunday, Dec. 28, with the Saturday date more likely. -- Kudos to Payton and his wife Skylene, who have donated $150,000 for a new playground at the Children’s Hospital Colorado at the Anschutz Medical Campus in Aurora. According to the hospital, the playground will provide an area of rehabilitation and respect for patients and their families while care is being provided. Payton and his wife had toured the hospital in June to learn more about giving back. What I’m seeing --Over the last three games, Broncos receiver Marvin Mims Jr. has had a kickoff return of 38 yards at Baltimore, a punt return of 28 yards at Kansas City and a punt return of 37 yards against Atlanta. One gets the feeling he is about to break an even longer runback. “For sure,’’ he said. “I think just from me being a Pro Bowler last year (as a returner) and being up there at the top of the league, we had a lot of targets on our backs as a unit. So now we’re really stepping up to the challenge and bringing it to the teams that want to bring it to us.” --Outside linebacker Nik Bonitto is seeking to become just the second Broncos player to lead the NFL in sacks, following Elvis Dumervil, who had 17 in 2009. Bonitto is tied for third in the NFL with nine with Dexter Lawrence of the New York Giants, trailing Cincinnati’s Trey Hendrickson, who has 11 1⁄2, and Cleveland’s Myles Garrett, who has 10. Bonitto will share a field in December with the two current sack leaders since Denver will play host to the Browns on Monday Night Football on Dec. 2 and later play at Cincinnati.

Penn State rolls past Maryland, clinches berth in Big Ten title game

NoneLOS ANGELES (AP) — Right when the Los Angeles Rams' offense has dropped into a disconcerting slump, their defense has held three straight opponents under 10 points for the first time in decades. Although the Rams (10-6) are closing in on an NFC West title and another playoff berth with a five-game winning streak, the way they're doing it makes their postseason prospects quite unpredictable. The methodology has been strange, but the results are not: After holding off Arizona 13-9 on Saturday night, Los Angeles has won nine of 11 and is very close to claiming its fourth division title and sixth playoff berth in coach Sean McVay's eight seasons. “I’m proud of this group and the way they battled back,” Matthew Stafford said. “A lot of people doubted us, and a lot of people wrote us off at 1-4. To be able to sit here with our record what it is right now, I feel proud of this group.” The Rams hadn't held three straight opponents to single-digit scoring since 1975, but rookie coordinator Chris Shula's defense has done it with a strong front and a little luck on the back end, including the last-minute interception by Ahkello Witherspoon on a pass that deflected off star Arizona tight end Trey McBride's head at the goal line. Kyler Murray threw it before McBride was probably ready because Shula had called a zero blitz on first down at the Los Angeles 5. “I want to make more plays to make sure they don’t have to do as much as they did (against Arizona), but I’m proud of them,” Stafford said of the Rams' defense. "It’s awesome to watch where they were in training camp to where they are now. Shula is doing a hell of a job. We all knew he would. Those guys are playing hard for him.” But the Rams have scored more than 21 points just once during their five-game winning streak, their longest since their Super Bowl championship season in 2021. They’ve managed only three touchdowns in their last three games while scoring fewer than 20 points each time out, although that stretch includes games played in the rain (San Francisco) and in subfreezing temperatures (New York Jets). Against the Cardinals in Inglewood's ideal weather, the Rams’ offense still produced one TD, a season-worst 12 first downs and only 257 total yards — 139 fewer than Arizona. The running game struggled again, as it often does when all five starting offensive linemen aren't healthy, while the entire roster aside from Puka Nacua combined for just seven receptions for 60 yards — a surprising number for a McVay offense. “I don’t think there’s one thing I can point to,” McVay said Sunday. “I could go on and on about some of the things, starting with me, but then also about our execution in terms of getting connected in the run game, targeting the right way, making sure that the ball is going where it should go, and guys that I know are capable of playing the way that we’ve seen. If they do that, then I know that it’s not as far as sometimes it can feel like. But ultimately, we’ve got to do it.” What's working The young front four remains the strength of the defense. Jared Verse had a tremendous game on the edge against Murray and Arizona's running game, while fellow rookie Braden Fiske and second-year pros Kobie Turner and Byron Young all recorded sacks. What needs help The Rams again failed to establish the running game despite never trailing Arizona. Kyren Williams got his second-fewest carries of the season (13, with just five in the second half), while rookie Blake Corum was barely involved. Los Angeles' 3.9 yards per rush is the second-lowest mark in the NFL even though Williams began Sunday third in the league with 1,299 yards. Stock up Witherspoon not only made the game-saving interception, but the eight-year veteran who went unsigned until September also has seized the starting cornerback job from Cobie Durant, who didn't play on defense against the Cards despite being healthy again. McVay said Witherspoon's play during Durant's brief injury absence resulted in the change. Stock down Cooper Kupp had one catch against Arizona, and he has just 12 receptions in the past five games, matching the least productive five-game stretch of his eight-year career. Stafford has said the Rams need to get their Super Bowl 56 MVP more involved, and Kupp says he's healthy — yet it isn't happening. Injuries McVay believes the Rams stayed healthy outside of a stinger for rookie safety Kam Kinchens, but they felt the absence of RT Rob Havenstein, who injured his shoulder last week during an unpadded practice. Backup Joe Noteboom committed three holding penalties and got beaten repeatedly. Key number 4 — Stafford's consecutive games without taking a sack. That's the longest streak of his 16-year career, yet he has only one 200-yard passing game in that stretch. Next steps The Rams began Sunday preparing as if they'll play the Seahawks (9-7) next Saturday, although the game could happen a day later. McVay won't show his cards, but if the Rams have clinched, they seem likely to rest several regulars for the playoffs. ___ AP NFL: https://apnews.com/NFL Greg Beacham, The Associated PressDEC biologist Todd receives honor Michael Todd, aquatic biologist for the Department of Environmental Conservation’s Bureau of Fisheries in Region 9, was recently named Professional Conservationist of the Year by the New York State Conservation Council, the state’s largest conservation/sportsman organization. Todd began with DEC in 2003 as a fish and wildlife technician at the Lake Erie Fisheries Research Unit after graduating from the SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry. His primary responsibility as an aquatic biologist with DEC is an angler outreach and education specialist. In a typical year, Todd runs at least eight youth fisheries clinics throughout Western New York, reaching over 600 participants. The programs focus on teaching basic fishing skills through a five-station process that Todd developed, followed by fishing to utilize the skills that participants learned. Todd is responsible for updating the Western New York Fishing Hotline. He also provides public outreach at sportsmen’s shows, fishing expos and county fairs. He coordinates all the Region 9 salmon and trout stocking efforts in Lake Ontario, working with local federations running four net pen projects that raise Chinooks and steelhead for the Great Lakes. Quinn Galante, of Massachusetts, shows off a brown trout he caught while fishing with Capt. Joe Srouji of Ransomville. NYPA facilities closing for season As winter conditions arrive in Western New York, the New York Power Authority has announced that they are ready to close its popular fishing facilities for the winter season starting at dusk on Sunday . The facilities include the fishing pier in the lower Niagara River at Devil’s Hole; the shoreline stairway in Devil’s Hole; and adjacent lower parking area at the base of NYPA’s Robert Moses Niagara Power Plant. The fishing pier near the Upper Mountain Fire Company at the Lewiston Reservoir, as well as the water intakes along the upper Niagara River, also will close for the season. Each winter, NYPA closes the facilities for safety reasons due to freezing temperatures or snowy conditions. The fishing facilities will reopen in the spring when the snow and ice have sufficiently cleared. The fish cleaning station will reopen once the threat of freezing temperatures has passed. For information on the fishing pier, call 716-286-6662 for a recorded message. Sponsored pheasant hunt deadline looms Applications to host a sponsored pheasant hunt are being accepted through Jan 10. Such hunts can be hosted at any point during an open pheasant season. These hunts have historically been offered during youth hunt weekends and prior to firearms deer seasons. However, due to the length of the pheasant season, there are plenty of opportunities for late-season sponsored hunts. Sponsored hunts are free, noncompetitive events open to the public and coordinated by a group, club, individual or organization to benefit youth, women, first-time hunters, veterans, people with disabilities, and other underrepresented groups. Pheasants are provided free of cost, with a maximum of two pheasants per registered hunter.

Artificial intelligence (AI) tools could be used to manipulate online audiences into making decisions – ranging from what to buy to who to vote for – according to researchers at the University of Cambridge. The paper highlights an emerging new marketplace for “digital signals of intent” – known as the “intention economy” – where AI assistants understand, forecast and manipulate human intentions and sell that information on to companies who can profit from it. The intention economy is touted by researchers at Cambridge’s Leverhulme Centre for the Future of Intelligence (LCFI) as a successor to the attention economy, where social networks keep users hooked on their platforms and serve them adverts. The intention economy involves AI-savvy tech companies selling what they know about your motivations, from plans for a stay in a hotel to opinions on a political candidate, to the highest bidder. “For decades, attention has been the currency of the internet ,” said Dr Jonnie Penn, an historian of technology at LCFI. “Sharing your attention with social media platforms such as Facebook and Instagram drove the online economy.” He added: “Unless regulated, the intention economy will treat your motivations as the new currency. It will be a gold rush for those who target, steer and sell human intentions. “We should start to consider the likely impact such a marketplace would have on human aspirations, including free and fair elections, a free press and fair market competition, before we become victims of its unintended consequences.” The study claims that large language models (LLMs), the technology that underpins AI tools such as the ChatGPT chatbot, will be used to “anticipate and steer” users based on “intentional, behavioural and psychological data”. The authors said the attention economy allows advertisers to buy access to users’ attention in the present via real-time bidding on ad exchanges or buy it in the future by acquiring a month’s-worth of ad space on a billboard. LLMs will be able to access attention in real-time as well, by, for instance, asking if a user has thought about seeing a particular film – “have you thought about seeing Spider-Man tonight?” – as well as making suggestions relating to future intentions, such as asking: “You mentioned feeling overworked, shall I book you that movie ticket we’d talked about?” The study raises a scenario where these examples are “dynamically generated” to match factors such as a user’s “personal behavioural traces” and “psychological profile”. “In an intention economy, an LLM could, at low cost, leverage a user’s cadence, politics, vocabulary, age, gender, preferences for sycophancy, and so on, in concert with brokered bids, to maximise the likelihood of achieving a given aim (eg to sell a film ticket),” the study suggests. In such a world, an AI model would steer conversations in the service of advertisers, businesses and other third parties. Advertisers will be able to use generative AI tools to create bespoke online ads, the report claims. It also cites the example of an AI model created by Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta, called Cicero, that has achieved the “human-level” ability to play the board game Diplomacy – a game that the authors say is dependent on inferring and predicting the intent of opponents. AI models will be able to tweak their outputs in response to “streams of incoming user-generated data”, the study added, citing research showing that models can infer personal information through workaday exchanges and even “steer” conversations in order to gain more personal information. The study then raises a future scenario where Meta will auction off to advertisers a user’s intent to book a restaurant, flight or hotel. Although there is already an industry devoted to forecasting and bidding on human behaviour, the report said, AI models will distill those practices into a “highly quantified, dynamic and personalised format”. The study quotes the research team behind Cicero warning that an “[AI] agent may learn to nudge its conversational partner to achieve a particular objective”. The research refers to tech executives discussing how AI models will be able to predict a user’s intent and actions. It quotes the chief executive of the largest AI chipmaker, Jensen Huang of Nvidia , who said last year that models will “figure out what is your intention, what is your desire, what are you trying to do, given the context, and present the information to you in the best possible way”.Dublin, Dec 1 (AP) A marathon vote-counting exercise was underway Saturday in Ireland's national election after an exit poll suggested that the contest is a close-fought race among the country's three largest political parties. Election officials opened ballot boxes at count centres across the country, kicking off what could be several days of tallying the results. If the exit poll is borne out, that could be followed by days or weeks of negotiations to form a coalition government.

The exit poll suggested voters' support is split widely among the three big parties — Fine Gael, Fianna Fail, and Sinn Fein — as well as several smaller parties and an assortment of independents ranging from the left to the far right. The poll said that centre-right party Fine Gael was the first choice of 21 per cent of voters, and another centre-right party, Fianna Fail, of 19.5 per cent. The two parties governed in coalition before the election. Left-of-centre opposition party Sinn Fein was at 21.1 per cent in the poll.

Pollster Ipsos B&A asked 5,018 voters across the country how they had cast their ballots. The survey has a margin of error of plus or minus 1.4 percentage points. The figures only give an indication and don't reveal which parties will form the next government. Ireland uses a complex system of proportional representation in which each of the country's 43 constituencies elects several lawmakers and voters rank candidates in order of preference. As a result, it can take some time for full results to be known. The cost of living — especially Ireland's acute housing crisis — was a dominant topic in the three-week campaign, alongside immigration, which has become an emotive and challenging issue in a country of 5.4 million people long defined by emigration. The result will show whether Ireland bucks the global trend of incumbents being ousted by disgruntled voters after years of pandemic, international instability and cost-of-living pressures. The outgoing government was led by the two parties that have dominated Irish politics for the past century: Fine Gael and Fianna Fail. They have similar policies, but are longtime rivals with origins on opposing sides of Ireland's 1920s civil war. After the 2020 election ended in a virtual dead heat, they formed a coalition. Before polling day, analysts said the most likely outcome was another Fine Gael-Fianna Fail coalition. That remains a likely option. The front-runners to be the next taoiseach, or prime minister, are current Taoiseach Simon Harris of Fine Gael and Fianna Fail leader Micheál Martin — despite their parties' relatively lackluster showing. Harris, Martin and Sinn Fein leader Mary Lou McDonald all won-re-election to their parliamentary seats in results announced Saturday. Fine Gael candidate Paschal Donohoe, a minister in the outgoing government, said the main theme of the election was “one of the centre holding.” “The big picture is, at a time in which incumbent governments all over Europe are struggling to get re-elected, the two larger parties within this government, in particular Fine Gael, are going to deliver a very strong performance,” he said at the count centre in Dublin. The two parties would need the support of smaller groups or independents to achieve a majority in the 174-seat Dail, the lower house of Parliament. The Green Party, which held 12 seats in the last parliament and propped up the governing coalition, acknowledged that it was headed for a disappointing result. Among a large crop of independent candidates was reputed organised crime boss Gerry “the Monk” Hutch, who has seen a groundswell of support since he was bailed on money-laundering charges in Spain this month in order to run for election. Early results suggested he stood a good chance of winning a seat in Dublin. Sinn Fein achieved a stunning breakthrough in the 2020 election, topping the popular vote, but was shut out of government because Fianna Fail and Fine Gael refused to work with it, citing its leftist policies and historic ties with the Irish Republican Army during three decades of violence in Northern Ireland. Though Sinn Fein, which aims to reunite Ireland with the independent Republic of Ireland, could become the largest party in the Dail, it may struggle to get enough coalition partners to form a government. During the election campaign, both Fine Gael and Fianna Fail maintained they wouldn't go into government with it. A Sinn Fein-led government would shake up Irish politics — and the future of the United Kingdom. The party is already the largest in Northern Ireland, and a Sinn Fein government in the republic would push for a referendum on Irish reunification in the next few years. Party leader McDonald said that Sinn Fein had “broken the political mold” in Ireland. “Two-party politics is now gone. It's consigned to the dustbin of history, and that in itself is very significant," she said as she awaited results at a count centre in Dublin. “The question now arises for us, what do we do with that?” (AP) (This is an unedited and auto-generated story from Syndicated News feed, LatestLY Staff may not have modified or edited the content body)

It seems like years, but it was just one month ago that the media effort to stop Donald Trump reached its final, most desperate phase in the closing days of the 2024 presidential campaign. The Atlantic published an article quoting two unnamed sources who said they heard Trump say, sometime during his first term in office, that "I need the kind of generals that Hitler had." That led the virulently anti-Trump publication to speculate about what it called Trump's "evident desire to wield military power, and power over the military, in the manner of Hitler and other dictators." The article set off days of fevered Trump/Hitler speculation in some media outlets. And then the Hitler talk broadened with discussion of Trump's upcoming rally in New York's Madison Square Garden, scheduled a few days later on Oct. 27. Many commentators compared the event to the infamous Nazi rally held at the Garden in 1939. For example, after calling Trump a fascist, former rival Hillary Clinton said Trump would be "reenacting the Madison Square Garden rally in 1939." During its coverage, MSNBC intercut footage from the old Nazi rally with video of the Trump rally. The network's Jonathan Capehart called the scene "particularly chilling, because in 1939, more than 20,000 supporters of a different fascist leader -- Adolf Hitler -- packed the Garden for a so-called 'pro-America rally.'" Late-night host Stephen Colbert noted positive coverage of the rally on Fox News and said: "Wow, how would they have covered Nuremberg? High-five enthusiasts thrilled by superstar Austrian painter's tiny mustache?" Such Trump-is-Hitler observations were quite common. In reality, the rally was an epic event, "living, breathing proof of former President Donald Trump's success in broadening the appeal of the Republican Party." But when a comedian speaking hours before Trump told an unfunny and poorly received joke about Puerto Rico and garbage, the critics found a new reason to pounce. The New York Times called the rally "a closing carnival of grievances, misogyny and racism." And it just might, many speculated, cost Trump the election. The Hitler charge, so white-hot just a few days before, was refined a bit; in some media accounts, the Madison Square Garden rally became a festival of anti-Hispanic hate. Many anti-Trump voices in the media found that idea particularly appealing because polls had shown for months that Trump support was growing among Hispanic voters. Perhaps this could stop that progress and help Vice President Kamala Harris. Politico reported that "Trump's Puerto Rico fallout is 'spreading like wildfire' in Pennsylvania," which had a significant Hispanic population and was, of course, considered the swing state that could determine the entire election. "To have this closing message at this stage is disastrous," declared CNN's Alyssa Farah Griffin. At the Daily Beast, the headline was "Trump in Denial Over Disastrous Latino-Bashing MSG Rally." And Fortune reported, "Trump just blew a huge lead, and the Madison Square Garden rally started the drop." Suddenly, Trump's opponents sensed momentum. Top Harris adviser David Plouffe told CBS the rally was "the worst closing argument in the history of American politics." Everyone looked for a backlash. Hopes rose when a Latin entertainment star, Nicky Jam, who had endorsed Trump, withdrew the endorsement in a message to his 43.5 million Instagram followers. Was a reaction building? No. A planned protest in majority-Hispanic Allentown, Pennsylvania, where Trump held his first rally after Madison Square Garden, went nowhere. A few protesters showed up, chanted a bit and left, while thousands attended the Trump event. Polls suggested that Trump's support among Hispanic voters was basically unaffected. And then, on Election Day, exit polls showed that Trump won a stunning 46% of the Latino vote -- a huge improvement over Republican performances in years past and one of the many factors contributing to his decisive victory over Harris. What is striking, after Trump's victory in both the popular vote and the Electoral College, is how quickly the Hitler talk disappeared. Before the election, MSNBC's Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski, two of Trump's most aggressive critics, called Trump a fascist and described the Madison Square Garden rally as "Nazi-like." After the election, they traveled to Florida for an audience with Trump, saying they wanted to "restart communications." With a Nazi? The Hitler moment turned out to be a final convulsion rather than the new normal. Trump's victory, rather than ignite more fiery protests, brought at least a moment of relative peace. "While President-elect Trump's 2016 win sparked shock, outrage, and massive protests, the response to his 2024 has been more muted," Axios reported in "The Resistance goes quiet." One longtime Trump antagonist noted that "exhaustion is real" among those who have been protesting Trump for nearly a decade now. Of course, there might be another Hitler moment at any time; the final days of the campaign were certainly not the first time Trump's adversaries have called him a Nazi. But the intensity of the rhetoric of Oct. 27 and the relative tranquility of Nov. 27 presents a striking contrast.
