The Los Angeles Angels announced that manager Ron Washington will stay on medical leave for the remainder of the 2025 season with an unspecified medical issue. 

Washington, 73, has been sidelined for the last week after he experienced shortness of breath at the end of the Angels’ series against the New York Yankees that ended on June 19. 

Following that series, Washington flew back to Southern California and was placed on medical leave after he underwent a series of tests. Washington is currently the oldest manager in MLB.

"We’re starting to see the personality of the team take the personality of (Ron Washington)," Angels general manager Perry Minasian said in a statement. "There’s some resiliency, there’s some toughness, and that’s exactly what Ron is.

"(The players) are going to go out there and play as hard as they play for Ron, day in and day out."

Angels bench coach Ray Montgomery, who filled for Washington when he was initially placed on medical leave, was named interim manager.

Washington was hired by the Angels prior to the 2024 season, and is 103-140 in 243 games with the team. He was the manager of the Texas Rangers for eight seasons (2007-2014) and had a 664-611 record with them.

He led the Rangers to back-to-back World Series appearances in 2010 and 2011 before stepping down abruptly in September 2014.

The Angels are 40-41 on the season, and have a 7-4 record with Montgomery at the helm. 

This is Montgomery's first time as an MLB manager in his coaching career. He joined the Angels as their director of player personnel for the 2020 season and became the team’s bench coach in 2021. 

The Angels lost 15-9 to the Washington Nationals on Friday and will look to rebound when they play the Nationals in the second game of their three-game series at 9:38 p.m. ET on Saturday.

A new poll from Pew Research Center highlighted President Donald Trump’s growing coalition of racially and ethnically diverse voters, Thursday. 

The Pew Research Center poll, which the organization calls "a study of the 2024 election, based on validated voters," said that Trump made up extensive ground with Hispanic voters, Black voters and Asian voters. 

It found that Trump significantly closed the gap on Hispanic voters, with 51% of them going to former Vice President Kamala Harris, and 48% going to Trump, a significant shift from the 2020 presidential election, when Trump fell behind with Hispanic voters to former President Joe Biden, 61%-36%.

Trump increased his support among Black voters by 7%, with 15% of Black voters supporting Trump in November, up from 8% during the 2020 presidential election. 

Asian voters, while still trending to the left with 57% supporting Harris, voted 40% for Trump, up from 2020, when 70% supported Biden and 30% went for Trump. 

The voters' level of education also played a role. 

Trump had a 14-point advantage, 56% to 42%, among voters who did not have a 4-year college degree, with the Pew Research Center reporting that Trump doubled his 2016 margin among these voters. 

Harris won college-education voters by a margin of 57% to 41%.

Voters who lived in rural areas also chose Trump overwhelmingly, 69%-29%, while 65% of urban voters chose Harris, and only 33% chose Trump. 

Trump also did well among religious voters, with almost two-thirds, or 64% of them who attended religious services monthly or more backing Trump, and only about a third, or 34%, voting for Harris. 

The 45th and 47th president also gained some ground with men, with 55% - 43% voting for him. Men under 50-years-old chose Trump 49% - 48%. In 2020, they chose Biden by 10 points, with 53% going for Biden, and 43% going for Trump.

"President Trump’s historic reelection and the overall MAGA movement is a big tent welcome for all and home to a large swath of the American people," Harrison Fields, special assistant to the president and principal deputy press secretary, said in a statement to Fox News Digital. 

"The President continues to foster a national pride that should be celebrated daily, and he is honored to serve all Americans," Fields added. "The American people voted for a return to common sense, and the President is delivering on every campaign promise supported by 77 million voters and is ushering in our Golden Age."
