LONDON (AP) — Northern Ireland's Democratic Unionist Party formally endorsed Jeffrey Donaldson as its new leader on Saturday, a position that will likely see him become the country's first minister.Donaldson received 32 votes of the party's 36-strong electoral college, which is made up of the party's 28 lawmakers in the Northern Ireland assembly and its eight members of parliament in London.
