From northbound Leland, I enter to make a left turn onto westbound Basile. I think that cars going straight from southbound Leland should yield to me when I am already in the roundabout. Consistently, they do not. They treat my action as a standard left turn, where I need to yield to them.Is there an exception to the general roundabout yield rule?Jill McCoy, San JoseA: Cars in the roundabout have the right-of-way.Q: I live within a block of a school and have the following thoughts to share:1.

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 11:24:37 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — Miami Mayor Francis Suarez said Friday that he has qualified for next week’s Republican presidential debate, becoming the ninth White House hopeful to meet the fundraising and polling thresholds required to participate in the opening face-off of the 2024 campaign.Suarez, 45 and the only Hispanic in the field, will be perhaps the least-known Republican on the stage Wednesday in Milwaukee.

He argued that he is uniquely positioned to help the Republican Party reach out to Hispanic and younger voters in particular.“Oftentimes, it’s not policy because we agree, by and large about policy, right? It’s personality, dynamism. It’s the ability to connect,” he told The Associated Press in an interview confirming his debate attendance.So far, nine candidates say they have met the debate qualifi...
