Sununu, a former New Hampshire senator, had sought to distance himself from Donald Trump through a series of adverts claiming he did not know the president particularly well. Collins said the strategy reminded her of Carey’s comment. Tapper and Bash…

The party also held a strong position in several closely watched local and congressional contests.

Abdul El-Sayed used his victory speech in Michigan to mock defeated Senate opponent Mike Rogers and taunt Vice-President JD Vance after the closely fought race was called in his favour. The senator-elect addressed supporters at a rally early on Wednesday morning, turning first to Mr Rogers, who has not delivered a concession speech. Wishing Mr Rogers well in retirement in Florida, Mr El-Sayed referred to his opponent’s large house and two yachts, saying he could focus on them instead. “You chose hate, and Michigan chose hope. May we never have to see the likes of you again,” he said. Mr…

Alonso has used the Brazilian sparingly this season, but handed him a place in the starting line-up at Stamford Bridge despite apparent reservations over his physicality. The decision suggested United were considered vulnerable enough for the 19-year-old to make a difference. Estevao justified his selection with an influential display, repeatedly causing Manchester United problems. He also had a goal ruled out for offside following a VAR review, a decision that was described as particularly harsh. Estevao Willian gives…
