NH voters say they’re not swayed by Trump indictment

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 18:39:35 GMT

Voters in New Hampshire who spoke with 7NEWS on Friday said they weren’t swayed one way or the other after news of former President Donald Trump’s indictment spread. Those who support him said they’d still back the former president.Frank Licata, who campaigned for Trump in 2015 and 2016, said he’s seen the former president overcome controversy in the past. “Every time something came up, whether it was the Access Hollywood tapes or whether it was any kind of blooper he said out of his mouth, it didn’t hurt him at all. People will say, ‘Oh, wow, he’s done now,’ but then no, it just made Teflon Don more strong,” he said. New Hampshire voter Frank Quinn said the indictment would have no impact on his decision of who to vote for in 2024.Another voter said, “I think that the people who are on his side are going to side with him once they charge him. It’s going to make him more popular than he even is now in their eyes...

Rain into tomorrow, storms possible

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 18:39:35 GMT

7Weather – Rain is here. Showers will be off and on over the next 24 hours. There’s a potential for thunderstorms tomorrow evening. We dry out Sunday with a cool wind. The wet and stormy weather will be from a system creating a severe weather outbreak across the middle of the country. The storm will be much weaker as it reaches our area. It’ll still have some energy so there’s a chance for thunderstorms late tomorrow evening (7-10 pm). The Storm Prediction Center highlights a slight chance for scattered severe storms in yellow. Although the greatest chance for stronger storms will mainly be for western Mass including the Berks and Litchfield Hills. Tomorrow evening, wind will be the biggest threat. There’s a risk for heavy rain and hail too. The chance for a tornado is low, but not zero, because there’s a lot of energy above us in the clouds with this system. This would mainly be for western Mass, because the storm will continue to weaken as it sp...

With guidance from Kenley Jansen, Zack Kelly ready to learn from shaky Opening Day

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 18:39:35 GMT

When Corey Kluber loaded the bases in the top of the fourth on Red Sox Opening Day, it was a bit surprising to see who was on the receiving end of the call to the bullpen.Rather than go to one of his many veteran options, Alex Cora brought in rookie reliever Zack Kelly.The 28-year-old righty debuted last Aug. 29 and made 13 appearances for the big-league club. In 11 of his games, he entered at the start of a frame; only once did he face a bases-loaded situation. In a bit of an ironic twist, that, too, was an Orioles game. On that late September night, he gave up back-to-back singles to score two of the inherited runners, then got three quick outs.In two-thirds of an inning on Thursday, Kelly struck out two and didn’t allow a hit, but walked two and had a wild pitch. Twelve of his 22 pitches were for strikes.  As with that first bases-loaded jam last fall, two of the three inherited runners scored.After the game, he offered an honest self-assessment.“I was kind of frustra...

Revolution midfielder, Arlington native Noel Buck is making an impact

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 18:39:35 GMT

The New England Revolution are off to their best start since 2005 and midfielder Noel Buck has his footprints all over it.Buck, a 17-year-old homegrown player from Arlington, looks to make his sixth consecutive start when the Revolution (4-1-0) host ever dangerous New York City FC (2-2-1) in a signature Eastern Conference clash on Saturday night (7:30) at Gillette Stadium.“He is a little bit ahead of schedule, he has done a real good job,” said Revolution sporting director and head coach Bruce Arena. “There is nothing that his keeping him off (the pitch), he is playing a good solid game for us.“He is in every game but he has not played 90 minutes every game. He has been good and very reliable defensively. He has been in possession and he has helped us create chances in the attack. He has been pretty well rounded in his game.”Buck made the jump from the Revolution Academy to Revolution II in short order before joining the parent club in 2022. Last season he appeared in seven MLS game...

Ticker: Many electric vehicles to lose big tax credit; Stocks rally to cap a winning month

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 18:39:35 GMT

Fewer new electric vehicles will qualify for a full $7,500 federal tax credit later this year, and many will get only half that, under rules proposed Friday by the U.S. Treasury Department.The rules, required under last year’s Inflation Reduction Act, are likely to slow consumer acceptance of electric vehicles and could delay President Joe Biden’s ambitious goal that half of new passenger vehicles sold in the U.S. run on electricity by 2030.The new rules take effect April 18 and are aimed at reducing U.S. dependence on China and other countries for battery supply chains for electric vehicles.Electric vehicles now cost an average of more than $58,000, according to Kelley Blue Book, a price that’s beyond the reach of many U.S. households. The tax credits are designed to bring prices down and attract more buyers. But $3,750, half the full credit, may not be enough to entice them away from less-costly gasoline-powered vehicles.Stocks rally to cap a winning monthStocks rallie...

Far-right influencer convicted in voter suppression scheme

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 18:39:35 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — A self-styled far-right propagandist from Florida was convicted Friday of charges alleging that he conspired to deprive individuals of their right to vote in the 2016 presidential election.Douglass Mackey, 33, of West Palm Beach, Florida, was convicted in Brooklyn federal court before Judge Ann M. Donnelly after a one-week trial. On the internet, he was known as “Ricky Vaughn.”In 2016, Mackey had about 58,000 Twitter followers and was ranked by the MIT Media Lab as the 107th-most important influencer of the then-upcoming presidential election, prosecutors said. He had described himself as an “American nationalist” who regularly retweeted Trump and promoted conspiracy theories about voter fraud by Democrats.Mackey, who was arrested in January 2021, could face up to 10 years in prison. His sentencing is set for Aug. 16. His lawyer, Andrew Frisch, said in an email that the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan will have multiple reasons to choose from to vacate...

Mug shot as a political boost? Some politicians have tried

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 18:39:35 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — A celebrity and insatiable publicity hound long before he was president, Donald Trump has been photographed countless times. But never like this. Now that a New York grand jury has voted to indict him for his role in the payment of hush money to a porn actor, Trump will have to appear at district attorney headquarters in Manhattan to be booked, fingerprinted and get a mug shot taken. The former president, the first ever to be indicted, is expected to surrender to authorities early next week.New York law discourages the release of mug shots in most cases, though they have leaked in the past. Less clear is whether Trump would seek to have the picture released himself, for political or other reasons. Within minutes of word of his indictment breaking, his 2024 presidential campaign was sending fundraising messages off the news. Some Trump aides have floated the idea of holding a post-booking press conference — a political trail blazed by Texas Gov. Rick Perry when he s...

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — The new attorney for a woman accused of killing and dismembering a man in Green Bay is seeking a change of venue in the case.Christopher Froelich, who represents Taylor Schabusiness, filed the motion Thursday, saying “a fair and impartial trial cannot be had in Brown County … due to substantial pre-trial publicity and other factors.”Froelich is asking the court to change the location of the trial or to bring jurors in from another county.Schabusiness, 25, is charged with first-degree intentional homicide, mutilating a corpse and third-degree sexual assault in the killing of Shad Thyrion, 25, in February 2022.Authorities say she strangled Thyrion at a home in Green Bay, sexually abused him and dismembered his body, leaving parts of him throughout the house and in a vehicle.Schabusiness has pleaded not guilty and not guilty by reason of mental disease or defect.
