Colorado’s March 5 presidential primaries — the state’s first formal foray into the 2024 election — are firming up, and the competition isn’t as simple as incumbent-versus-challenger.As it stood Friday, voters who mark Democratic ballots will have their pick of eight candidates and a no-preference option. The Republican ballot will have at least six listed candidates — and likely seven — plus a write-in option.But it’s a more fluid situation than in elections past, thanks to the recent uncertainty surrounding former President Donald Trump.The undisputed Republican frontrunner was barred by the Colorado Supreme Court from appearing on the ballot in its 4-3 ruling on Dec. 19 — the first time a state found him ineligible because of his conduct surrounding the Jan. 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol riot.

By Najib Jobain, Samy Magdy and Jack Jeffery | Associated PressRAFAH, Gaza Strip — Tens of thousands of Palestinians streamed into an already crowded town at the southernmost end of Gaza in recent days, according to the United Nations, fleeing Israel’s bombardment of the center of the strip, where hospital officials said dozens were killed Friday.Israel’s unprecedented air and ground offensive against Hamas has displaced some 85% of the Gaza Strip’s 2.3 million residents, sending swells of people seeking shelter in Israeli-designated safe areas that the military has nevertheless also bombed.
