Chiefs Repeat as Super Bowl Champions
The Kansas City Chiefs beat the San Francisco 49ers in overtime, winning their second straight Super Bowl by a score of 25-22. You can see the game’s highlights here.
Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes was named the Super Bowl’s Most Valuable Player for the third time to go with his three Super Bowl rings.
The stadium in Las Vegas was packed with A-list celebrities, including Elon Musk, Lady Gaga, and Beyonce, among others. Taylor Swift was there as well, watching the game’s dramatic finish and then celebrating with Travis Kelce on the field.
After the two teams tied in regulation, the 49ers got the ball first in overtime. They drove to the Chiefs four-yard line but were forced to kick a field goal, and the Chiefs scored a touchdown on their next drive.
Poll: 86% Say Biden Too Old to Run for Office
An overwhelming majority of Americans — 86% — think President Biden is too old to serve another term, according to an ABC News/Ipsos poll taken just days after a Justice Department report raised questions about President Biden’s memory.
The White House has battled back against the report’s description of the president as a “well-meaning elderly man with a poor memory,” claiming it was a politically motivated hit job.
Nonetheless, the survey showed that 91% of independents felt Biden was too old, and 73% of Democrats agreed. Asked about Donald Trump’s age, overall 62% said he was too old, but only 35% of Republicans agreed.
The Special Counsel report exonerated Biden of criminal charges for mishandling classified documents. In the ABC poll, 38% said he should have been charged.
Valentine’s Day Spending Nears $26 Billion

The survey showed that the most popular gifts, ranked in order, were candy, greeting cards, flowers, an evening out, jewelry, clothing, and gift cards. Consumers expect to spend $185 on average.
