Harris will cut her own path as President with fresh perspective: Biden

President Joe Biden on Tuesday said Kamala Harris would cut her own path once she wins the 2024 election, allowing for more daylight between him and his vice president as she works to win over skeptical voters three weeks before Election Day. Kamala will take the country in her own direction, and that's one of the most important differences in this election, he said. Kamala's perspective on our problems will be fresh and new. Donald Trump's perspective old and failed and quite frankly, thoroughly totally dishonest. Biden's comments may give Harris more license to stake out her own political and policy stances in the critical closing phase of the presidential race, and appear to go further to distance the two than Harris has herself. The vice president's aides have privately expressed some frustration that the 81-year-old president has been too focused on his own legacy and not the race to succeed him. But Harris has of late faced increasing pressure to articulate how she'd govern .

Two shot during Trump assassination attempt say secret service failed them

Two men who were shot during the first assassination attempt on Donald Trump this summer say the US Secret Service was negligent in protecting the former president and other bystanders at the campaign rally in Pennsylvania. David Dutch, 57, an ex-Marine, and James Copenhaver, 74, a retired liquor store manager, told NBC News in an exclusive interview Monday they were excited to be sitting in the bleachers behind the Republican nominee at the fairgrounds in Butler on July 13 when gunshots rang out and they were hit. Another man, Corey Comperatore, 50, was killed in the shooting while shielding his family. Trump was wounded in the ear. The interview with the two Pennsylvania men who were critically injured marked their first public statements since 20-year-old shooter Thomas Matthew Crooks of Bethel Park, Pennsylvania, opened fire in July from an unsecured rooftop nearby before he was fatally shot by sharpshooters. It was like getting hit with a sledgehammer right in the chest, sai

US elections 2024: Harris, Trump campaign in battleground Pennsylvania

Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump took their fight for Pennsylvania to opposite ends of the state Monday, with Harris speaking in the northwest corner in Erie and Trump in the southeastern suburbs of Philadelphia. Democrat Harris and Republican Trump have been making regular appearances in what is the country's largest battleground state it will be Harris' tenth visit to Pennsylvania this campaign season, and just last week Trump made stops in both Scranton and Reading. Harris at an evening campaign rally planned to raise Trump's comments over the weekend suggesting that the U.S. military be used to deal with the enemy from within, according to a senior Harris campaign official. The official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to preview the remarks ahead of a campaign rally in Erie, said Harris will hammer home the idea that Trump sees Americans who disagree with him as enemies. She'll argue that the comments made in a Fox News Sunday Morning ...

Trump's protests aside, his agenda significantly overlaps with Project 2025

Donald Trump insists that Project 2025, a nearly 1,000-page blueprint for a hard-right turn in American government and society, does not reflect his priorities for a White House encore. I haven't read it. I don't want to read it purposefully, the Republican presidential nominee said September 10 on the debate stage. Yet from economics, immigration and education policy to civil rights and foreign affairs, there are common ideas and shared ideology between Project 2025 and Trump's outline for another term from his official Agenda 47 slate, the Republican platform he personally approved and his other statements. There are also differences: Project 2025, led by the Heritage Foundation and written by many conservatives who worked in or with Trump's administration, offers more particulars on some issues than the former president. Here's a look at how Trump's 2024 campaign and Project 2025 align and deviate: Key tax proposals could benefit the wealthy TRUMP: His tax policies lean broa

Armed man arrested at checkpoint near Trump's weekend rally in California

A Nevada man with a shotgun, a loaded handgun and ammunition in his vehicle was arrested at a security checkpoint outside Donald Trump's rally Saturday night in the Southern California desert, authorities said Sunday. The suspect, a 49-year-old resident of Las Vegas, was driving a black SUV that was stopped by deputies assigned to the rally in Coachella, east of Los Angeles, the Riverside County Sheriff's Department said in a statement. He was released Saturday on USD 5,000 bail. The man was arrested on suspicion of possessing a loaded firearm and possession of a high-capacity magazine, the department said. This incident did not impact the safety of former President Trump or attendees of the event, the statement said. The suspect is scheduled to appear in court on January 2, 2025, according to online records. Media members, as well as VIP ticket holders, were routed through a number of intersections manned by state and local law enforcement officers before arriving at a large, gr

America First Policy Institute, group advising Trump, says systems breached

A group helping to lay the groundwork for a future Donald Trump administration said its computer systems were breached, marking the second known instance that people supporting the former president have been the target of a cyberattack. The America First Policy Institute discovered the breach last week. It would not say what materials were compromised. As the leading policy group in the America First movement, it is not surprising that hostile foreign actors would attempt to infiltrate our IT, Marc Lotter, the organization's chief communications officer, said in a statement. The tactics, techniques, and procedures of the threat actor are similar to that of nation-state sponsored activities we have seen, allowing us to remediate and respond quickly. AFPI is one of several groups formed after Trump left office to help lay the groundwork for the next Republican administration. It has been publishing policy guides and penning executive orders and draft legislation for Trump to potential

Harris in good health, possesses resiliency for prez fight, says her doctor

Vice President Kamala Harris is in excellent health and possesses the physical and mental resiliency required to serve as president, her doctor said in a letter released Saturday that summarizes her medical history and status. Dr Joshua Simmons, a US Army colonel and physician to the vice president, wrote that Harris, 59, maintains a healthy, active lifestyle and that her most recent physical last April was unremarkable. She possesses the physical and mental resiliency required to successfully execute the duties of the Presidency, to include those as Chief Executive, Head of State and Commander in Chief, he wrote in a two-page letter. Harris' advisers hope to use the moment to draw a contrast with Republican Donald Trump, who has released only limited information about his health over the years, and raise questions about his fitness to serve, according to a campaign aide who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive matters. Trump, 78, has released very little health ...

Donald Trump drives his anti-immigration message in Aurora, Colorado

Donald Trump detoured from the battleground states Friday to visit a Colorado suburb that's been in the news over illegal immigration as he drives a message, often using false or misleading claims and dehumanizing language, that migrants are causing chaos in smaller American cities and towns. Trump's rally in Aurora marked the first time ahead of the November election that either presidential campaign has visited Colorado, which reliably votes Democratic statewide. The Republican nominee has long promised to stage the largest deportation operation in U.S. history and has made immigration core to his political persona since launching his first campaign in 2015. In recent months, Trump has pinpointed specific smaller communities that have seen large arrivals of migrants, with tensions flaring locally over resources and some longtime residents expressing distrust about sudden demographic changes. Aurora entered the spotlight in August when a video circulated showing armed men walking .

Trump's campaign requests military aircraft, vehicles after Iran's threats

Donald Trump 's aides have requested a slew of stepped-up security measures, including military aircraft capable of shooting down surface-to-air missiles to transport the former president in the race's final stretch, amid growing concerns over threats from Iran in a campaign already shaken by violence. The campaign's highly unusual request comes as the Republican candidate faces death threats from Iran, which has also targeted other former Trump administration officials and has also been blamed for a widespread hack of top campaign officials. Trump narrowly survived one assassination attempt and U.S. Secret Service agents foiled a second, though neither case has been publicly linked to Iranian actors. Beyond a military plane, the campaign has asked for special armored vehicles typically reserved for sitting presidents, expanded temporary flight restrictions over his rallies and his residences, reimbursements for decoy aircraft, and more money for the U.S. Secret Service and local law

Joe Biden tells Trump to 'get a life, man,' stop storm misinformation

President Joe Biden on Thursday publicly admonished Donald Trump, telling his predecessor to get a life, man and try to help people impacted by a pair of devastating hurricanes rather than spreading misinformation about the federal response. Speaking at the White House on the government's work to address Hurricanes Milton and Helene, Biden condemned the reckless, irresponsible and relentless disinformation and outright lies that continue to flow." The White House, and Biden personally, have spent days decrying Trump for making false claims about the disaster response, including that federal funding is being diverted for use on people in the country illegally and that such assistance is capped at USD 750. The USD 750 is an immediate need disbursement, Biden explained, to cover urgent requirements like food, diapers and baby formula That USD 750 that they're talking about, Mr. Trump and all those other people know it's a lie to suggest that's all they're going to get, Biden said. "It'

US inflation likely cooled again last month in sign of healthy economy

Donald Trump's contributions from small-dollar donors have plummeted since his last bid for the White House, presenting the former president with a financial challenge as he attempts to keep pace with Democrats' fundraising machine. Fewer than a third of the Republican's campaign contributions have come from donors who gave less than $200 - down from nearly half of all donations in his 2020 race, according to an analysis by The Associated Press and OpenSecrets, an organization that tracks political spending. The total collected from small donors has also declined, according to the analysis. Trump raised $98 million from such contributors through June, a 40% drop compared to the $165 million they contributed during a corresponding period in his previous presidential race. The dip has forced Trump to rely more on wealthy donors and groups backed by them, a shift that cuts into the populist message that first propelled him to the White House. The decline in donations could not come at
