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

'If you got something to say say it to my face': Harris as she slams Trump

US Vice President and Democratic Party's presumptive presidential candidate Kamala Harris has challenged her Republican rival, former president Donald Trump, for a debate, provoking him to say whatever he has to say to her face. Addressing an election rally in the state of Georgia's Atlanta city on Tuesday, Harris, 59, said that the nature of presidential elections changed after she entered the race. She officially declared her candidacy after incumbent President Joe Biden withdrew from the race for a second term on July 20. The momentum in this race is shifting. There are signs that Donald Trump is feeling it. You may have noticed. So last week, you may have seen, he pulled out of the debate in September he had previously agreed to, Harris said. Well Donald, I do hope you'll reconsider meeting me on the debate stage because as the saying goes, if you got something to say, say it to my face, she said to a cheering crowd. So, here's the funny thing about that. Here's the funny thin

Google autocomplete results of Trump assassination bid stems questions

With fewer than 100 days until the 2024 election, social media users are claiming that a lack of Google autocomplete results about former President Donald Trump and his attempted assassination is evidence of election interference. Many posts include screenshots showing what the autocomplete feature, which predicts what users are trying to type, has generated for text such as attempted assassination of tr or president donald. Among the pictured results for the former phrase are references to other assassination attempts, including that of Harry Truman and Gerald Ford, but nothing for Trump. The latter provides two options president donald duck and president donald regan. Multiple high-profile figures, including Trump and sitting members of Congress, promoted the claim across social media platforms, collectively amassing more than 1 million likes and shares by Tuesday. Trump did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Google attributed the situation to existing protections

Harris 'has a lot of great options' for running mate: N Carolina governor

A day after confirming he wouldn't be a candidate for Vice President Kamala Harris' running mate, North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper said Tuesday at a public event that he's excited that Democrats have a lot of great options for her to choose from. Speaking in coastal Brunswick County with US Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Michael Regan to celebrate federal funding for land conservation, Cooper reiterated his Monday message by saying "this was not the right time for our state or for me to potentially be on a national ticket. Cooper, barred by term limits from seeking reelection this year, had been among roughly a dozen potential contenders that Harris' team was initially looking at for a vice presidential pick. He's been a surrogate for President Joe Biden's reelection bid and now for Harris. I am going to work every day to see that she is elected," Cooper told WECT-TV. I believe that she will win, and I look forward to this campaign because she has the right message and

At Georgia rally, Harris demonstrates show of valor, confidence for Nov win

Vice President Kamala Harris told a cheering, boisterous, packed arena on Tuesday that the next few months would be a serious fight and acknowledged the Democrats were right now the underdogs but assured the crowd they would win in November. We have a fight in front of us," the likely nominee said. The momentum in this race is shifting. And there are signs Donald Trump is feeling it." Little more than a week ago, Georgia appeared to be slipping out of the Democrats' reach: President Joe Biden's campaign pledged to concentrate more on holding the Midwestern "blue wall" states and indicated they might be willing to forsake Sun Belt battlegrounds. But now that Biden has bowed out of the race and Harris is the likely nominee, Democrats are expressing new hopes of an expanded electoral map and welcoming the vice president to the state that delivered Biden his narrowest victory margin in 2020 with a show of political force intended to signal a new landscape against Trump. Harris said wh

Trump biggest threat to health, welfare programmes: Harris campaign

Former US president Donald Trump, who is also the Republican presidential nominee, is the biggest threat to health, welfare and social security programmes, the rival Harris campaign alleged Tuesday. A second Trump term would undo nearly 60 years of progress in helping low- and middle-income Americans access the quality, affordable health care they need, the Harris campaign said in a statement. Donald Trump is the biggest threat to Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security since their inception. He tried cutting Social Security and Medicare every single year he was in office, Harris for President spokesperson Ammar Moussa said. There is only one candidate in this race who will protect and expand earned benefits programmes that millions of Americans rely on Vice President Harris, Mossa said. According to the Harris campaign, Trump and his extreme Project 2025 allies will do everything in their power to gut these programmes because they've come out and said it. Trump proposed cuts to

Harris, who is married to a Jewish man, doesn't like Jewish people: Trump

Former President Donald Trump in an interview on Tuesday claimed Vice President Kamala Harris, who is married to a Jewish man, doesn't like Jewish people" and seemed to agree with a radio host who called second gentleman Doug Emhoff a crappy Jew. Trump, in an interview on WABC radio on Tuesday, claimed Harris looked uncomfortable while meeting last week with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. You can see the disdain, he said, adding, No. 1, she doesn't like Israel. No. 2, she doesn't like Jewish people. You know it, I know it and everybody knows it and nobody wants to say it. Trump has tried to capitalise on divisions in the Democratic Party over the Israel-Hamas war and sought to paint his political opponents as antisemitic while overlooking some of his own past comments and behaviour, such as dining at his Florida club with a Holocaust-denying white nationalist. With Harris replacing President Joe Biden as the likely Democratic presidential nominee, Trump has escalated his

Olympics 2024: Donald Trump criticises opening ceremony, calls it disgrace

Former US president Donald Trump has criticised the opening ceremony of the Summer Olympics in Paris, calling it a "disgrace", amidst outrage over a scene which critics say parodied Leonardo da Vinci's acclaimed painting "The Last Supper." I thought that the opening ceremony was a disgrace, actually. I thought it was a disgrace," Trump, the Republican Party's presidential candidate for the November 5 general elections, told 'The Ingraham Angle' on Fox News on Monday night. I am very open-minded. But I think, what they did was a disgrace, he said in response to a question. House Speaker Mike Johnson has also condemned the opening ceremony. Last night's mockery of the Last Supper was shocking and insulting to Christian people around the world who watched the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, he said in a post on X. The war on our faith and traditional values knows no bounds today. But we know that truth and virtue will always prevail. The light shines in the darkness, and the .

Here's how Harris and Trump differ on artificial intelligence policy

Two days after President Joe Biden signed a sweeping executive order on artificial intelligence last year, Vice President Kamala Harris brought the wonky document to a global AI summit, telling an international audience what set the U.S. apart in its approach to AI safety. In an event meant to address the potential catastrophes posed by futuristic forms of AI, Harris made waves by pivoting to present-day concerns - and the need to codify protections quickly without stifling innovation. When a senior is kicked off his healthcare plan because of a faulty AI algorithm, is that not existential for him?" Harris told a crowd in London last November. When a woman is threatened by an abusive partner with explicit deepfake photographs, is that not existential for her? Now, she's running for president and her chief opponent, former President Donald Trump, has said he wants to cancel the Biden order. Trump's running mate, Ohio Sen. JD Vance, also brings his own views on AI, which are influence

Harris a far worse, radical presidential candidate than Biden: Trump

Former president and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has called his likely Democratic opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris, a worse candidate than President Joe Biden, who she replaced more than a week ago. I think she (Harris) is the worst candidate than him (Biden). She is far more radical left, Trump told Fox News host Laura Ingraham in an interview on Monday, his first after Harris, 59, became the presumptive nominee of the Democratic Party. Harris officially declared her candidacy after incumbent President Biden withdrew from the race for a second term on July 20. She is expected to be officially declared as the presidential candidate by the Democrats next month. I thought she was a little younger. I mean, she's 60 years old. I didn't realise she was 60. She's talking a big game. But her game is pretty bad. She was the border czar. She's trying to pretend that she wasn't, Trump said. She was for defunding the police. She was for open borders. She was for havin

US Congress creates bipartisan task force to probe Trump assassination bid

The US House of Representatives has announced the creation of a 13-member bipartisan congressional task force on the attempted assassination of former president and Republican Party presidential nominee Donald Trump. Trump, 78, survived the attempt on his life on July 13 when a 20-year-old shooter fired multiple shots at him at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania, injuring his right ear. The shooting left one person attending the rally dead and two others in serious condition. The suspected shooter was shot and killed by a member of the Secret Service. We have the utmost confidence in this bipartisan group of steady, highly qualified and capable Members of Congress to move quickly to find the facts, ensure accountability, and help make certain such failures never happen again, said House Speaker Mike Johnson and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries on Monday. The task force has been formed to understand what went wrong on the day of the attempted assassination, to ensure accountabil

Biden slams US SC for prez immunity decision, says court mired in crisis

President Joe Biden has said the US Supreme Court is mired in a "crisis of ethics", slamming its recent decisions on presidential immunity, as he raised serious questions on the integrity and independence of the American judiciary system. Biden, 81, harshly criticised the apex court on Monday while delivering remarks at the 60th Anniversary of the Civil Rights Act at the Lyndon B. Johnson Presidential Library in Austin, Texas. On top of its extreme decisions, the court is mired in a crisis of ethics, Biden said. He said the Supreme Court "most recently and most shockingly established a "dangerous precedent" in the former president Donald Trump versus the United States case. They ruled, as you know, that the president of the United States has immunity for potential crimes he may have committed while in office, immunity, he said. Earlier this month, the Supreme Court ruled that former presidents have broad immunity from prosecution. It prolonged the delay in the criminal case agains
