José Acosta es barbero en Los Ángeles. Su negocio, en un barrio latino, pasó de tener movimiento entre lunes y jueves, manejable con un flujo constante de clientes fijos, a estar casi desierto. Tiene claro a que se debe la poca actividad: “Esta administración de Trump que está afectando a todos con las redadas, atacando a la gente hispana, la economía que está mal, todo sigue subiendo y ahora con lo de la guerra peor, y cuando te llegan los clientes te dicen que la están pasando difícil, tú te das cuenta porque el cliente llega con el pelo ya largo, que ya no se lo corta seguido”.

La elección presidencial de 2024 demostró el poder de Donald Trump como candidato. Su mensaje sobre la economía cautivó al electorado, entre ellos a los hispanos, que lo creyeron un empresario exitoso. Poco después de su elección de 2024, Eduardo Sánchez, inmigrante nicaragüense, le dijo a CNN en San Francisco que, aunque le costó trabajo votar por Trump, “apenas sobrevivía” por la economía durante la presidencia de Biden y por eso, aunque se consideraba independiente y le chocaba la retórica del candidato sobre inmigración, la inflación lo hizo decidirse.

El respaldo de los hispanos para Trump en esos comicios fue sorprendente. Kamala Harris ganó el voto de los latinos, que históricamente se inclinan más por el partido demócrata, con un 51 %, pero Trump obtuvo 46 %, un logro importante, si se tiene en cuenta que el registro anterior lo tenía George W. Bush con un 40 % en 2004.

Si usted ha seguido la carrera política de Trump, aun si no, sabe que nadie es tan ganador como él, sabe tanto o tiene la razón con tanta frecuencia. Bueno, eso es lo que él mismo dice sin cesar y sin ruborizarse. En las elecciones de 2024, lo demostró. Trump venció en los siete estados bisagra (o swing states en inglés), término para aquellas disputas que no se podían proyectar para demócratas o republicanos: Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Carolina del Norte, Pensilvania y Wisconsin. Como una bisagra, podían ir para un lado o para el otro, y fueron para los republicanos. Además de eso, logró en Texas, que tiene como eslogan que allá todo es más grande, una victoria contundente entre el grupo mayoritario del estado, los hispanos.

Trump obtuvo el 55 % del voto hispano de Texas, 9 puntos más que el promedio nacional, una hazaña, si se tiene en cuenta que en 2020 recibió un 41 % y en 2016 apenas un 34 %. Con el voto hispano de su lado Trump y los republicanos allanaban el camino para el futuro, por lo menos esa fue una de las conclusiones tras su victoria.

Los estrategas políticos saben que en Estados Unidos las elecciones de medio término, las que ocurren dos años después de las presidenciales y en las que se elige la Cámara de Representantes y una tercera parte del Senado, favorecen a la oposición. Trump alertó a su partido que, si pierden las mayorías en noviembre, será sometido, de nuevo, a juicio político o impeachment. Texas fue el primer estado en responder al llamado del mandatario, al modificar su mapa electoral a mitad de camino —se acostumbra hacer cada diez años con los resultados del Censo— para darle ventaja a los republicanos en cinco distritos electorales controlados por los demócratas. En la actualidad, los republicanos controlan 25 distritos y los demócra

(CNN) — There’s a new Ozzy Osbourne.

Jack Osbourne, son of the late rocker, has announced that his newborn daughter has been named after his dad.

“Introducing Ozzy Matilda Osbourne,” reads the caption on an Instagram video showing the new baby.

She is the second child of Osbourne and his wife, Aree Gearhart. Their first child together, Maple, was born in July 2022.

The newest Osbourne was born March 5, weighing 7 pounds, 12 ounces.

The original Ozzy Osbourne died in July 2025 following years of health challenges. He was 76.

His family has been open about their struggles with grief since losing the Black Sabbath frontman.

Much of the attention recently has fallen on Kelly Osbourne, the second daughter shared between Ozzy and wife Sharon, who has been scrutinized by the public after appearing noticeably thinner at recent public events.

She issued a statement late last year addressing the chatter. “I don’t even know how to say this so I’m just going to say it: To the people who keep thinking they’re being funny and mean by writing comments like ‘Are you ill,’ or ‘Get off Ozempic’ or “You don’t look right.’ My dad just died, and I’m doing the best that I can, and the only thing I have to live for right now is my family,” Kelly Osbourne said in a video shared by journalist and family friend, Piers Morgan. “And I choose to share my content with you and share the happy side of my life not the miserable side of my life. So to all those people, f**k off!”

Jack Osbourne appeared last month alongside Kelly and their mother at the Grammy Awards, where Ozzy Osbourne was honored with a performance of the Black Sabbath classic “War Pigs.”

The elder Osbourne played what ended up being his final gig, the “Back to the Beginning” charity concert with Black Sabbath held at Villa Park in Birmingham, England, seventeen days before his passing,

During a recently published episode of Jamie Kennedy’s “Hate To Break It To Ya” podcast, Jack Osbourne talked about his father referring to himself as a “retired” rock star shortly before his death.

“He was done,” Jack Osbourne said. “He was ok with his journey.”

He shared the news of his wife being pregnant in December 2025 and told UK publication The Sun that they had told his father shortly before his death that he was to be a grandpa again.

The new baby brought joy, according to the younger Osbourne.

“It’s very much taken energy out of the grieving side of things and parked in a bit more hopefulness,” he said.

Osbourne also shares children Pearl Clementine, 13, Andy Rose, 10, and Minnie Theodora, 7, with his ex-wife, entrepreneur and author Lisa Stelly.
