WASHINGTON scarpe nike air max plus italia , Dec. 21 (Xinhua) -- Due to continued low support, U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham announced Monday that he was quitting the Republican Party's race for the White House in 2016.
Graham, a senator from South Carolina, made the announcement in a Youtube video message, which said that he "is suspending my campaign for president."
Graham's move was expected because his campaign has in fact never taken off as he has been stuck in low single digits in national polls.
As of Monday, Graham have gained only 0.5 percent of support in the RealPolitics' average of recent national polling. Even in his home state of South Carolina nike air max plus tn italia , his support has fallen down to 1 percent.
Graham's poor poll numbers have disqualified him from taking part in the previous five major Republican presidential debates.
The senator, a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, had hoped that his experience on national security could help his campaign at a time when security is one of the top concerns for Americans in the wake of the recent terror attack in southern California.
A strongly armed couple, believed to be radicalized by the militant group Islamic State, shot dead 14 people and wounded 21 others in the Dec. 2 terror attack on a social services center in San Bernardino, California.
Graham is the fourth Republican candidate to quit the Republican presidential race following former Texas Governor Rick Perry nike air max plus italia , Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker and Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal.
NAIROBI, Jan. 13 (Xinhua) -- With focus on the Olympics, Florence Kiplagat, the Half Marathon record holder, has confirmed she will return to the Barcelona to defend her title on Feb. 14.
Indeed Kiplagat has forged a love relationship with the city of Barcelona, where she set a world record last year in winning the 21km race in 65 minutes and 09 second.
And while the world will be marking the Valentine's Day Nike Air Max TN Uomo Nere Rosse Italia , Kiplagat will be spreading her love on the streets of Barcelona eyeing her third world half marathon tile.
"I have been training well for this event and will be back in Barcelona in February to try and defend my crown," she said, Wednesday from Eldoret.
Kiplagat will be aiming to break the world half marathon record for the third time in a row.
Kiplagat, the 2010 world half marathon champion, set a world record of 1:05:12 two years ago in Barcelona.
She took three seconds off that mark at the 2015 edition, also setting world records for 15km (46:14) and 20km (1:01:54) along the way.
The 28-year-old Kenyan went on to win the Chicago Marathon in October Nike Air Max TN Uomo Nere Verdi Italia , her third big city marathon win following her 2011 and 2013 triumphs in Berlin.
But with the Olympics on the horizon, Kiplagat will be running sparingly as she also plans to compete at the London marathon in April, where Kenya will select its Olympic team for marathon in Rio.
Four years ago, Kiplagat was a distant fifth in London and was overlooked for the Kenya team to the London Olympics.
"This time round, I will put in my best and hopefully be among the best three Kenyans if not winning London marathon. But that can wait, now the focus is on the Barcelona Half marathon where I have a big challenge to retain my title Uomo Nike Air Max 270 Triple Nere Italia ," she said. Enditem
WASHINGTON — Under intensifying pressure, Attorney General Jeff Sessions abruptly agreed Thursday to recuse himself from any investigation into Russian meddling in America's 2016 presidential election. He acted after revelations he twice spoke with the Russian ambassador during the campaign and failed to say so when pressed by Congress.
Sessions rejected any suggestion that he had tried to mislead anyone about his contacts with the Russian, saying, "That is not my intent. That is not correct."
But he did allow that he should have been more careful in his testimony during his confirmation hearing, saying, "I should have slowed down and said Uomo Nike Air VaporMax Plus Nere Italia , 'But I did meet one Russian official a couple of times.'"
The White House has stood by Sessions in the latest controversy to dog President Donald Trump's young administration, though officials say they first learned about his contacts with the ambassador from a reporter Wednesday night. Trump himself said Thursday he had "total" confidence in Sessions and didn't think he needed to recuse himself — not long before he did.
Trump later laid the controversy at the feet of Democrats, saying they are trying to save face. "The Democrats are overplaying their hand," he said in a statement Thursday night. "They lost the election and now, they have lost their grip on reality. The real story is all of the illegal leaks of classified and other information. It is a total witch hunt!"
One of Sessions' conversations with Ambassador Sergey Kislyak occurred at a July event on the sidelines of the Republican National Convention in Cleveland. At that same event, the ambassador also spoke with Carter Page Uomo Nike Air VaporMax Plus Bianche Italia , who briefly advised Trump's campaign on foreign policy, according to a person with knowledge of the discussion.
Separately, a White House official said Thursday that Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, and ousted national security adviser Michael Flynn met with Kislyak at Trump Tower in New York in December. The official described that sit-down as a brief courtesy meeting.
Flynn was fired last month for misleading Vice President Mike Pence about his contacts with Kislyak.
The Trump team's account of Flynn's contacts with the ambassador has changed several times. The White House did not disclose the in-person meeting, or Kushner's involvement Uomo Nike Air VaporMax Plus Sunset Nere Arancione Italia , until Thursday.
Both the White House official and the person with knowledge of Page's discussion insisted on anonymity because they were not authorized to publicly disclose the meetings.
