Deportivo Táchira achieved its fourth consecutive victory in the Venezuelan soccer league (Liga FUTVE), thereby consolidating its leadership in Group A of the 2024 Clausura Tournament, whose fourth round date ended this Sunday.
Táchira doubles the 6 points of the second, Rayo Zuliano, whom they beat on this day 3-1, thanks to the double from Maurice Cova and the goal from the Argentine Leandro Fioravanti, in the match played at the Pueblo Nuevo sports center, in Saint Christopher.
Meanwhile, Carabobo, leader of Group B and Apertura champion, added just one point after drawing 1-1 with La Guaira, which is hot on the heels of its rival on this fourth date.
Gol
José Manuel Balza did not give La Guaira’s team time to warm up, and scored his team’s only goal in this match one minute into the game. Then Keiber Alberto Lamadrid equaled, in 12th.
Carabobo has eight points and Deportivo La Guaira, seven.
The winner of the Clausura will face Carabobo in the final of the national league, but if they win, they automatically become the absolute champion.
Like the Apertura Tournament, the Clausura champion qualifies directly to the Copa Libertadores, while the runner-up will go to the Sudamericana, both tournaments in 2025.

How did Anna Rodriguez assess President Biden’s messaging about the economy and inflation during his CBS News interview?
**Interview with Political Analyst Anna Rodriguez on President Biden’s 2022 CBS News Interview**
**Interviewer:** Welcome, Anna! Thank you for joining us today to discuss President Biden’s 2022 interview with CBS News. A lot has transpired since then, but let’s focus on the key themes from that discussion. What were your main takeaways from this interview?
**Anna Rodriguez:** Thank you for having me! The 2022 CBS interview was quite revealing, as it highlighted both the achievements and challenges the Biden administration faced at that time. Biden was clearly enjoying a summer of relative stability, buoyed by positive public events, like the concert given by James Taylor—which signaled a return to normalcy post-pandemic for many Americans.
**Interviewer:** Absolutely. Looking back, how effective do you think his messaging was during that interview, particularly regarding the state of the economy and inflation?
**Anna Rodriguez:** Biden did a decent job of addressing the economic concerns, but the complexities of inflation and job growth are difficult to simplify. He aimed to communicate that while there were challenges, there were also significant recovery signs. However, public perception still leaned heavily on the concerns, which affected his approval ratings both during and after the summer.
**Interviewer:** Interesting. The interview occurred during a pivotal time as the midterms approached. How do you think the sentiments expressed influenced voter perception going into those elections?
**Anna Rodriguez:** The interview was a double-edged sword. On one hand, it offered a chance for Biden to assert his control over the narrative and highlight his accomplishments. On the other, if people felt the issues of inflation were downplayed, it could lead to voter discontent. Ultimately, candidates’ effectiveness in conveying responsiveness to these concerns during the midterms was essential.
**Interviewer:** Given the political landscape now, how do you think that interview fits into the broader narrative of Biden’s presidency?
**Anna Rodriguez:** It serves as a snapshot of a moment when he was attempting to stabilize his administration’s image. In the long run, how voters perceive his leadership during crises will be crucial, especially as we approach future elections. The combination of successful communication and tangible economic improvements could very well determine the trajectory of his presidency moving forward.
**Interviewer:** Thank you, Anna, for these insights! It’s clear that understanding past communications is essential for evaluating future political strategies.
**Anna Rodriguez:** My pleasure! It’s always a complex but fascinating field.
This discussion sheds light on Biden’s approaches during a key time, emphasizing the interplay between public perception and political strategy.
