Trump slams Google over claims it was censoring news related to him

Former US president Donald Trump has lashed out at Google over reports that was censoring news and photos of the Republican presidential candidate. "Google has been very bad. They've been very irresponsible and I have a feeling that Google is going to be close to shut down because I don't think Congress is going to take it. I really don't think so. Google has to be careful," Trump told Fox News in an interview. Early this week, Trump alleged that it was virtually impossible to find pictures or anything about the failed assassination bid on him on July 13 on Google. Google, however, denied those allegations. Over the past few days, some people on X have posted claims that search is censoring' or banning' particular terms. That's not happening, and we want to set the record straight. The posts relate to our Autocomplete feature, which predicts queries to save you time. Autocomplete, it said in a social media post.

US Vice President Kamala Harris becomes Democratic presidential nominee

US Vice President Kamala Harris, who is of Indian and African heritage, was declared the 2024 presidential nominee of the ruling Democratic Party on Friday after she won enough votes from Democratic delegates in a virtual roll call. Harris, 59, would face Republican presidential candidate and former president Donald Trump, 78, in the general elections scheduled to be held on November 5. "I am honoured to be the Democratic nominee for President of the United States. I will officially accept the nomination next week. This campaign is about people coming together, fuelled by love of country, to fight for the best of who we are, Harris, who was abruptly thrust into the role of presidential candidate late last month after President Joe Biden withdrew from the race for the White House, said. A step away from breaking the last glass ceiling of the United States, Harris became the first ever woman of colour to be on the top of a presidential ticket of a major American political party. She i

Trump undecided on debate with Kamala Harris as presidential race heats up

Former US President and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump on Friday said that he has not yet decided on whether to participate in a debate with his potential Democratic rival, Vice President Kamala Harris. Well, I want to. And we're leading in the polls it seems by quite a bit still...She's (Harris) better than he (Joe Biden) is, but I think ultimately she'll be worse than him, Trump told Fox News in an interview. If I didn't do the debate, they'd say, Oh Trump's not doing the debate.' It's the same thing they'll say now. I mean right now I say, why should I do a debate? I'm leading in the polls. And everybody knows her, everybody knows me, said the former president. The Harris Campaign slammed Trump for not agreeing to a debate so far. Yet again, he dodged, squirmed, and made excuses for why he's too scared to face Kamala Harris on the debate stage, the rival campaign said. The Harris Campaign has alleged that Trump, who once said he would debate any time, any place,

Kamala Harris presidential campaign raises record $310 million in July

Kamala Harris has raised a record USD 310 million in July, her campaign said on Friday, as the presumptive Democratic Party nominee stepped up her election campaign against her Republican Party rival Donald Trump in the US presidential election. Comparatively, the rival Trump campaign of the Republican Party raised USD 138.7 million in July and has USD 327 million cash on hand. Vice President Harris, 59, is the only candidate who has filed paperwork to be the nominee of the Democratic Party for the November 5 presidential elections after her boss and incumbent President Joe Biden on July 20 announced his withdrawal from the race and endorsed her as the candidate. With today's announcement, Team Harris has already raised over USD 1 billion this cycle, the fastest a presidential campaign has crossed the USD 1 billion threshold in presidential history, the Harris Campaign said Friday. This is a history-making haul for a candidate who will make history this November. The tremendous ...

Few Americans trust Secret Service after gunman nearly killed Trump: Poll

Most Americans have doubts about the Secret Service's ability to keep presidential candidates safe after last month's attempt on former President Donald Trump's life, a new poll from the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research finds. Only around 3 in 10 Americans are extremely or very confident that the Secret Service can keep the presidential candidates safe from violence before the election, according to the poll. The survey also found that about 7 in 10 Americans think the Secret Service bears at least a moderate amount of responsibility for the assassination attempt. The law enforcement agency tasked with protecting presidents for more than a century is under intense scrutiny after a gunman got within 150 yards of Trump and fired several bullets from an AR-style rifle. Trump was injured in one ear but was millimeters away from being killed. The poll was conducted after the resignation of director Kimberly Cheatle, who faced intense questioning at a congressional

Trump campaign's July fundraise falls short of Harris' first-week total

Republican former President Donald Trump 's campaign and its related affiliates announced that they had raised USD 138.7 million last month less than what his new opponent in November's election, Vice President Kamala Harris, took in during her White House bid's opening week. Trump's campaign says it has USD 327 million in cash on hand heading into August, with the election now just a bit more than three months away. Harris' campaign has yet to announce its July fundraising totals or say how much it has in campaign funds, but it says the vice president's entry into the race has sparked a wave of new donations and volunteers. The former president's campaign, the Republican National Committee and other entities previously announced raising USD 331 million in the three-month period that ended in June meaning their July totals were above that pace. They may have been helped by Trump surviving an assassination attempt during a rally in Pennsylvania on July 13, which galvanised some of

Trump's gag order remains in effect after hush money conviction: NY court

A New York appeals court on Thursday denied Donald Trump's bid to end a gag order in his hush money criminal case, rejecting the Republican former president's argument that his May conviction constitutes a change in circumstances that warrants lifting the restrictions. A five-judge panel in the state's mid-level appellate court ruled that the trial judge, Juan M Merchan, was correct in extending parts of the gag order until Trump is sentenced, writing that the fair administration of justice necessarily includes sentencing. The ruling came a day after Trump's lawyers tried to file papers asking the appellate court to immediately lift the gag order. With its ruling imminent, the court rejected the filing, which called the restrictions an unconstitutional, election-interfering muzzle on Trump's free speech. In a copy of the prospective filing provided to the Associated Press, Trump's lawyers wrote that Vice President Kamala Harris' entry into the presidential race gives the matter new

Trump makes his 2024 campaign about Harris' race, ignores Republicans

Donald Trump has found tremendous success from the very first moment he stepped onto the presidential stage by stoking racial animus. Democrats expressed new outrage this week at the former president's derisive and false charge that Vice President Kamala Harris, who is of Jamaican and Indian heritage, only recently turned Black for political gain. Some Republicans even from within Trump's own campaign seemed to distance themselves from the comment. But Trump's rhetoric this week, and his record on race since he entered politics nearly a decade ago, indicate that divisive attacks on race may emerge as a core GOP argument in the three-month sprint to Election Day whether his allies want them to or not. A Trump adviser, granted anonymity Thursday to discuss internal strategy, said the campaign doesn't need to focus on identity politics because the case against Harris is that she is so liberal it's dangerous. The adviser pointed to Harris' record on the Southern border, crime, the ..

India wants to play a responsible role globally, says Biden admin

Describing India as a great power which will never be a formal ally or partner of the US, the Biden administration has told lawmakers that New Delhi wants to play a responsible role globally. These remarks were made by Deputy Secretary of State Kurt Campbell during a hearing on US-China Competitiveness Beyond the Indo-Pacific on Tuesday, amidst indications that Prime Minister Narendra Modi may visit Kyiv later this month against the backdrop of renewed global efforts to end Russia's war on Ukraine. One of the hardest things to keep in mind is that India is also a great power. It has its own beliefs and its own interests. They will never be a formal ally or partner of the United States. But it doesn't mean that we cannot have the strongest of possible relationships as allied nations on the global stage, Kurt told members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee during the hearing. He was responding to a question from Senator James Risch about the recent Moscow visit of Prime Ministe

Radical left Democratic Party bosses installed Kamala as puppet: Trump

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has alleged that the left Democratic Party bosses have installed Kamala Harris as a "puppet candidate" who is "totally scripted, owned, and controlled" by the donors and the power brokers. The former president's remarks came at an election rally in Pennsylvania, a state where he escaped an assassination attempt on July 13. The radical left Democrat party bosses have installed a puppet candidate to fight only for themselves. Kamala Harris got zero votes. She's totally scripted, owned, and controlled by the donors and the power brokers who created her campaign and who rip off our government and make billions and billions of dollars, Trump, 78, said. Trump has intensified his attacks on Harris as the race for the November 5 presidential election gained momentum with opinion polls showing that the Vice President has narrowed the gap with her Republican rival. Trump accused Harris, 59, of lying about 81-year-old Joe Biden's mental and physi

Trump ramps up his defense of Vance after one of the rockiest VP rollouts

Donald Trump is used to defending himself. But this week, the Republican presidential nominee has been put in the rare position of having to defend someone else his running mate, Ohio Sen. JD Vance. When Vance was first introduced at the Republican National Convention last month, many GOP officials said they didn't know much about him. Since then, the void has been filled with multiple reports of controversial statements especially Vance's previous suggestion that Vice President Kamala Harris and other so-called childless cat ladies want to make the country miserable that have made his rollout among the most turbulent in recent history. I'm just speaking for myself. And I think I'm speaking for him, too, Trump said during a contentious interview Wednesday at the National Association of Black Journalists conference in Chicago. My interpretation is he's strongly family-oriented. But that doesn't mean that if you don't have a family, there's something wrong with that. Conservative .

Harris calls Trump's false claims about race divisive, disrespectful

Vice President Kamala Harris said former President Donald Trump's false assertions about her race were the same old show" as she emphasised the need for Black women to organise for his defeat this November. Addressing the Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority Inc. one of "Divine Nine" historically Black fraternities and sororities in Houston, Harris told the crowd, "When I look out at everyone here, I see family. She drew knowing chuckles from the audience as she mentioned Trump's comments earlier in the day at the annual meeting of the National Association of Black Journalists. Trump said Harris, the first Black woman and Asian American to serve as vice president, had in the past promoted only her Indian heritage. I didn't know she was Black until a number of years ago when she happened to turn Black and now she wants to be known as Black. So, I don't know, is she Indian or is she Black? Trump said while addressing the NABJ in Chicago. Harris responded briefly during her address to the ...

Trump campaign launches new ads, calls Kamala Harris 'dangerously liberal'

The Trump campaign has launched a new ad in battleground states alleging that dangerously liberal Kamala Harris failed to stop the invasion of illegal immigrants at the Southern border of the US, an allegation rejected by the rival Harris campaign. Border Czar Kamala Harris's failure has made America less safe: migrant crime is up, terrorists have entered through her open border, fentanyl deaths are exploding, and human trafficking is impacting every state. Harris is dangerously liberal, and Americans are paying the price," Danielle Alvarez, senior advisor to the Trump campaign said on Tuesday. Trump created the most secure border in our country's history. In just a few short years, Border Czar Kamala opened the floodgates to millions of illegal immigrants, said the campaign. Dangerously liberal Kamala Harris believes in open borders. Just yesterday, her national surrogate Senator Elizabeth Warren made it clear Kamala Harris plans on not only allowing millions more illegal aliens in
