ANKENY, Iowa (AP) — Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said Saturday he would consider Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds as a potential running mate, should he win the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, and dismissed former President Donald Trump’s recent complaints about her as “totally out of hand.”“Of course,” DeSantis said when asked whether he would consider the second-term Republican. “I mean, she’s one of the top public servants in America.”Trump last week criticized Reynolds, immensely popular among the state’s GOP base, for her seemingly cozy relationship with DeSantis while stating her public neutrality as the lead Republican figure in the state that hosts the lead-off presidential caucuses in less than six months.Reynolds has appeared with other GOP White House prospects, but has moderated conversations with DeSantis and his wife Casey DeSantis, while also attending Trump’s first campaign event in Iowa last March.DeSantis noted that he and Reynolds banter over their similar records, an...APD searching for suspect in north Austin aggravated assault

AUSTIN (KXAN) – The City of Austin is one step closer to making major improvements to the Barton Springs Bridge.

"I met with some friends from high school," said Walker. "It worked out well because they're on summer vacation and back from college.

The Warriors moved to 0-5 in Las Vegas Summer League, but the game looked to be slowing down for rookie Trayce Jackson-Davis in his second game. And that bodes well for his chances to earn some minutes as Golden State’s fourth big option.Jackson-Davis recorded a double-double with 18 points and 10 rebounds, two assists and, notably, two blocks and two steals in the Warriors’ 108-101 loss to the Toronto Raptors on Saturday afternoon.Not shown in his low assist count was his strong feel for making the extra pass — a handful of quick-thinking and athletic baseline passes and in the two-man game showed the kind of vision that could earn him minutes with the big league team.The Warriors have two roster spots and a pair of two-way spots open if the Warriors keep Lester Quinones in that third two-way spot. Jacskon-Davis’ performance may make the Warriors hesitate to fill one of those 15-man spots with another center.The Warriors could, in theory, sign a player such ...Latest news
