Will not run again for president, if lose 2024 elections: Donald Trump

Former President Donald Trump said on Sunday that he doesn't think he'd run again for president in 2028 if he falls short in his bid to return to the White House in 2024. No, I don't. I think that will be, that will be it, Trump said when journalist Sharyl Attkisson asked him if he'd run again. The comment was notable both because Trump seemed to rule out a fourth bid for the White House and because he rarely admits the possibility he could legitimately lose an election. Trump normally insists that could only happen if there were widespread cheating, a false allegation he made in 2020 and he's preemptively made again during his 2024 presidential campaign. Trump would be 82 in 2028, a year older than President Joe Biden is now. Biden bowed out of the race in July following his disastrous debate performance and months of being hammered by Trump and other conservatives as being too old and erratic for the job. Attkisson interviewed Trump for her show Full Measure." Also during the ...

Jury begins deliberations on Trump Train encounter with Biden-Harris bus

A jury in Texas began to deliberate Friday whether the so-called Trump Train that surrounded a Biden-Harris campaign bus days before the 2020 election in a heated highway encounter amounted to political intimidation. "This case is not about politics, Robert Meyer, an attorney representing those aboard the bus, told the jury. It's about safety. The civil trial has spanned two weeks in a federal courthouse in Austin has included testimony from former Texas Democratic lawmaker Wendy Davis, who ran for governor in 2014, and is one of three people who was on board the bus and brought the lawsuit against six supporters of former President Donald Trump. No criminal charges have been filed against the Trump supporters, who have argued that their actions during the convoy on Oct 30, 2020, were protected speech. Video that Davis recorded from the bus shows pickup trucks with large Trump flags slowing down to box in the bus as it tried to move away from the group of Trump supporters. One of t

Biden opens foreign policy stretch as allies shift gaze to Trump, Harris

President Joe Biden is opening a busy stretch Friday tending to international allies anxious about where US foreign policy is headed when he leaves office in four month, most likely leaving behind a difficult set of crises for former President Donald Trump or Vice President Kamala Harris to contend with. But even as Biden launches into a week of talks with world leaders that will take place in Delaware, the White House and at the United Nations, global attention has begun drifting toward Trump and Harris, who are offering voters and the world sharply diverging views on foreign policy. The more I talk to people around the world, the more I get a sense of profound anxiety about the shape of the US election, said Jon Alterman, a senior vice president at the Centre for Strategic and International Studies in Washington. Alterman added that Biden's upcoming engagements with world leaders could seem like a sideshow as much of the world focuses on Harris and Trump. Biden kicks off his sp

Communication failures prior to Trump's July assassination bid: Report

Communication breakdowns with local law enforcement hampered the Secret Service's performance ahead of a July assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump, according to a new report that lays out a litany of missed opportunities to stop a gunman who opened fire from an unsecured roof. A five-page document summarising the Secret Service report's key conclusions finds fault with both local and federal law enforcement, underscoring the cascading and wide-ranging failings that preceded the July 13 shooting at a Butler, Pennsylvania, campaign rally where Trump was wounded in the ear by gunfire. Though the failed response has been well-documented through congressional testimony, news media investigations and other public statements, the report being released on Friday marks the Secret Service's most formal attempt to catalog the errors of the day and is being released amid fresh scrutiny following Sunday's arrest in Florida of a man who authorities say wanted to kill Trump. It's

Voters split on whether Harris or Trump would do better on economy: Poll

Going into November's election, neither Kamala Harris nor Donald Trump has a decisive edge with the public on the economy, turning an issue that was once a clear strength for Trump into the equivalent of a political jump ball. About 4 in 10 registered voters say Republican Trump would do a better job handling the economy, while a similar number say that about the Democratic vice president, according to a new poll by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. About 1 in 10 voters don't trust either candidate, and a similar share has equal faith in them. The finding is a warning sign for Trump, who has tried to link Harris to President Joe Biden's economic track record. The new poll suggests that Harris may be escaping some of the president's baggage on the issue, undercutting what was previously one of Trump's major advantages. The economy has long been a weak issue for Biden: A separate AP-NORC poll conducted in late June, before Biden's disastrous debate with ...

Georgia election rule changes by Trump allies raise fear of chaos in Nov

Four years ago, Georgia was at the centre of former President Donald Trump's attempts to overturn his loss to Democrat Joe Biden. Democrats worry that Trump is at it again, even before the first votes have been cast. Many Democrats in the crucial swing state believe Trump-aligned Republicans are laying the groundwork for another attempt to undermine the vote should the GOP nominee narrowly lose in November, this time by manipulating election rules. The turmoil springs from a takeover of the Georgia State Election Board earlier this year by Trump allies after Republican lawmakers yanked the secretary of state, who had resisted Trump's efforts to subvert the election in 2020, off the panel. The new majority started making election rule changes that have alarmed Democrats, legal experts and democracy advocates. One provides for an undefined reasonable inquiry before county election officials certify results, while another allows county election officials to examine all election related

Harris hits Trump's promise of mass deportations as former head rallies

Vice President Kamala Harris on Wednesday criticised Republican Donald Trump's promise to deport millions of people who are in the United States illegally, questioning whether he would rely on massive raids and detention camps to carry it out. Harris, the Democratic presidential nominee, told the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute's annual leadership conference that the nation can find both a pathway to citizenship for those who want to come and at the same time secure the border. "We can do both, and we must do both," she said. Trump, for his part, held a rally in Uniondale on New York's Long Island as both candidates took a break Wednesday from campaigning in the toss-up states that will likely decide the Nov 5 election. Before heading out to the suburbs, Trump stopped at a Bitcoin cafe in New York City. Trump has recently embraced cryptocurrency and on Monday night helped launch his family's new cryptocurrency venture. Harris harked back to the Trump administration's ...
