Massachusetts native and political provocateur Corey Lewandowski has apparently fallen out of favor in New York billionaire Donald Trump's campaign to become the Republican nominee for president.
Lewandowski, born and raised in Lowell, reportedly fell victim to a campaign overhaul launched by The Donald last week. The move came as pundits and Republican insiders increasingly question whether Trump will emerge from this summer's Republican National Convention as the nominee despite leading his rivals throughout the campaign thus far.
HAVANA (AP) — Raul Castro will hold the Cuban Communist Party's highest post for another five years alongside his hardline second-in-command, state media reported Tuesday, in a resounding message that the island's aging revolutionary leaders will retain control in the face of detente with the United States and widespread popular dissatisfaction with the country's economic performance.
Government news sites said Castro, 84, would remain the party's first secretary and Jose Ramon Machado Ventura would hold the post of second secretary for a second term. Castro currently is both president and first secretary. The decision means he will hold a position at least as powerful as the presidency even after stepping down from that post in 2018.
