The Republican Party of Florida nixed its planned June 27 gubernatorial primary debate after U.S. Rep. Byron Donalds, endorsed by President Trump, was the only candidate to meet criteria like 10% poll support, $10 million raised, and 10,000 donors. Polls show Donalds leading at 38.8% to 54%, with Lt. Gov. Jay Collins at 7.6%, investor James Fishback at 4.1%, and former House Speaker Paul Renner at 2.2%. Gov. Ron DeSantis called the move counterproductive, arguing voters deserve to see candidates debate, while Donalds' camp dismissed alternatives as participation trophies; the party now offers individual speeches ahead of the August 18 primary.

A striking stat highlights how coaches of Mbappé's teams claimed five of the last six Champions League titles from 2021 to 2026, but he has none to his name. Tuchel led Chelsea in 2021 after coaching him at PSG, Ancelotti won with Madrid in 2022 and 2024 right as Mbappé joined, and Enrique guided PSG to back-to-back triumphs in 2025 and 2026—after Mbappé's departure. Despite his 70 UCL goals and World Cup win, fans meme him as a 'UCL curse,' though Madrid supporters insist he'll lift it soon with time on his side at 27.

Wichtigste Erkenntnis

Environment Minister Irene Vélez announced on April 13 a plan to euthanize up to 80 invasive hippos, part of a $2 million strategy that also includes sterilization and relocation. These animals, imported in the 1980s from Africa, have multiplied from four to around 200 without predators, spreading over 100 kilometers, trampling farmland, polluting waters, and competing with native species like manatees. Officials warn the population could reach 1,000 by 2035, while animal rights groups call the culling cruel and past non-lethal efforts ineffective due to the hippos' size and aggression.
