5. RADOJA NAMED TO TEAM OF THE MATCHDAY

Sporting Kansas City midfielder Nemanja Radoja was named to the MLS Team of the Matchday on Monday as one of the top 20 players in Major League Soccer for Matchday 26 of the regular season.

Radoja assisted on both goals in Sporting’s 2-1 road win at the San Jose Earthquakes on Saturday – setting up Erik Thommy in the 48th minute and providing a pinpoint pass for Alan Pulido in the 57th minute – as SKC won a third match in a seven-day span for the first time in club history.

The 31-year-old Serbian holding midfielder became the first Sporting KC player to record two assists in an MLS match this season and he did so against San Jose for a second time in as many years. Radoja, who has covered the most distance of any SKC player during the regular season (146 miles, per Sportec), leads Sporting with 2,183 minutes played this year in all competitions.

WICHITA, Kan. (KWCH) – Many Americans were shocked as they learned of an attempt on Former President Donald Trump’s life.

“We should be reflecting and thinking about our actions and why something like this would happen,” said Kansas Speaker of the House Dan Hawkins, “why it gets to that point.”

One question on many minds is how the 2024 presidential campaign carries on after such an event.

“Is this going to change the campaign? Is this going to change who wins and who loses? It’s way too early to tell,” said Dr. Neal Allen, Wichita State University Associate Professor of Political Science.

Allen says the full impact hasn’t been felt yet on the campaign trail, but he does not anticipate a major change.

“Even the assassination attempt fits pretty well into the kind of image Donald Trump is presenting,” said Allen, “you know he presents strength, certainty of purpose, Trump usually does that with lots of words and yesterday he did it with one.”

How voters will respond at the polls is just as uncertain. Kansas Republicans think the assassination attempt could energize their supporters.

“It wasn’t about somebody shooting Trump because we knew what happened, but rather this is going to cause people to put their heels in the sand,” said Kansas District 94 Representative Leo Delperdang, “I think it’s going to bring a lot more voters out on the Republican side.”

But not everyone is as convinced.

“There are unfortunately a whole lot of shootings in America and it’s entirely possible that you’re going to have hundreds, thousands, maybe even millions of people who will hear this news and they’ll say he got winged in the ear,” said Friends University Professor of Political Science Dr. Russell Arben Fox, “I don’t think it’s likely, but it is not beyond the realm of possibility.”
