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.

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 Biden’s exclusive interview address key policy issues following the recent presidential debate?
**Interview on Recent Presidential Debate and Biden’s Exclusive Interview**
*Interviewer:* Thank you for joining us today. We’ve just seen President Biden’s exclusive interview with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos following a highly anticipated presidential debate. What were your key takeaways from the interview?
*Guest Expert:* Thank you for having me. One of the most significant aspects of the interview was how President Biden addressed the concerns raised during the debate. He seemed focused on clarifying his policies and reassuring voters about his administration’s achievements. The timing of this interview was crucial, as it allowed him to steer the narrative shortly after the debate, which can often dominate media discussions.
*Interviewer:* That’s a great point. In the interview, how did Biden respond to criticism about his performance during the debate?
*Guest Expert:* Biden was quite defensive about some of the critiques, emphasizing that debates are only one way to gauge a candidate’s readiness. He highlighted his experience and the progress made in his administration despite the challenges posed by the pandemic and economic issues. His tone suggested a desire to pivot from any perceived debate missteps by focusing on future plans and accomplishments.
*Interviewer:* Did he touch on any specific policy issues during the conversation?
*Guest Expert:* Yes, he discussed several key issues, including healthcare, climate change, and the economy. Biden reiterated his commitment to affordable healthcare and initiatives aimed at combating climate change, which are central to his platform. He also sought to connect these policies to the everyday lives of American citizens, indicating that his administration is working on solutions that matter to them directly.
*Interviewer:* It sounds like Biden is trying to take control of the narrative. How effective do you think this strategy will be moving forward?
*Guest Expert:* It remains to be seen. Historically, post-debate interviews can help candidates regain momentum, especially if they address concerns effectively. However, public perception can be stubborn, and any lingering doubts from the debate may take time to overcome. The success of this strategy largely depends on whether Biden can rally support and connect with undecided voters in the upcoming weeks.
*Interviewer:* Thank you for your insights. This was a crucial moment for Biden, and we look forward to seeing how it shapes the campaign as it progresses.
*Guest Expert:* Thank you! It’s going to be an interesting few months ahead as we approach the election.
