Pence backing Ga. gov as Trump backs rival

NEW YORK — Former Vice President Mike Pence will campaign with Georgia’s incumbent Republican Gov. Brian Kemp the day before this month’s GOP primary in his most significant political break with former President Donald Trump to date.

Kemp’s campaign announced Friday morning that Pence will headline a get-outthe-vote rally for Kemp on Monday, May 23. That puts Pence in direct conflict with Trump-endorsed candidate David Perdue, who has been trailing in the polls.

2023 Oscars set for March 13

NEW YORK — Next year’s Academy Awards will take place March 13, the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences announced Friday. The date for the 95th Academy Awards moves the show up slightly from this year, when they where held unusually late on March 27, partly due to the February Olympics. But it will also leave in place a stretched-out awards season that some have argued saps the Oscars of drama.
