Olympic voters weigh Trump effect on Los Angeles 2024 bid AP Sports Writer
Donald Trump’s election as U.S. president has the potential to influence Los Angeles’ chances of hosting the 2024 Olympics. For better or worse. Some International Olympic Committee members — who will choose among Los Angeles, Paris and Budapest, Hungary, in a vote next September — cited possible pros and cons on Wednesday of Trump’s role in the American bid. As a polarizing presidential candidate, Trump’s words on Muslims,
Mexicans and other issues could have offended some of the 98 IOC members from around the world who will select the host city. “It may have,” the IOC’s longest-serving member, Dick Pound of Canada, told The Associated Press.
