Trump wants to turn US democracy into dictatorship: VP Kamala Harris

Former US president and the presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump would turn the American democracy into a dictatorship, Vice President Kamala Harris said on Tuesday. "Donald Trump wants to turn our democracy into a dictatorship. And the Supreme Court basically just declared he can get away with it," Harris said in Las Vegas, as she launched AANHPIs for Biden-Harris, a national organising and engagement programme that will mobilise Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) voters, communities and leaders across the country. Harris alleged that Trump's advisers have created a 900-page blueprint that they are calling "Project 2025", detailing everything else they plan to do in a second term, including a plan to cut Social Security, repeal the USD-35 cap on insulin, eliminate the Department of Education and end programmes like Head Start. "Project 2025 outlines a plan to limit access to contraception and for a nationwide abortion ban with or without an act of

Nikki Haley releases her delegates to support Trump at RNC next week

Nikki Haley is releasing the delegates she won during this year's Republican primary so that they're free to support Donald Trump at next week's convention, a move that goes toward solidifying GOP support around the party's presumptive nominee. Haley on Tuesday opted to release her 97 delegates won across a dozen primaries and caucuses earlier this year, according to her former campaign. In a statement, the former South Carolina governor and United Nations ambassador called for party unity at the upcoming Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, also calling Democratic President Joe Biden not competent to serve a second term and saying that Vice President Kamala Harris whom Haley repeatedly intimated would end up as president in Biden's stead would be a disaster for America. We need a president who will hold our enemies to account, secure our border, cut our debt, and get our economy back on track," Haley said. "I encourage my delegates to support Donald Trump next week in ...

No plans to drop out of race against Trump: Biden tells Democrats

US President Joe Biden told congressional Democrats on Monday that he is "firmly committed" to running for re-election against his Republican rival Donald Trump and called for speculation over his candidacy to end despite mounting concerns about his mental fitness and the viability of his campaign. In a strongly-worded letter to some donors and Democrats who are demanding that he quit the race for the White House on November 5, Biden, the presumptive candidate of the Democratic Party, sought to address their growing concerns. "I have heard the concerns that people have their good faith fears and worries about what is at stake in this selection. I am not blind to them, 81-year-old Biden wrote in the letter to the Democratic lawmakers in the US Congress. I can respond to all this by saying clearly and unequivocally: I wouldn't be running again if I did not absolutely believe I was the best person to beat Donald Trump in 2024, asserted the president, who after his June 27 disastrous .

From plane to fundraisers, everything in place for Republican VP candidate

The future Republican vice presidential candidate's plane is currently parked in an undisclosed hangar, an empty spot on its fuselage for where a decal featuring his or her name will soon be placed. Fundraisers have been planned. All that's left: an announcement from former President Donald Trump on who's his pick. Senior advisers and longtime allies insist they still don't know who the presumptive GOP nominee will choose to join him on the ticket with many believing the choice is still in flux. The decision will come at an unprecedented time of upheaval in the presidential race. President Joe Biden and the Democratic Party continue to grapple with his dismal debate performance and the intensifying calls for the 81-year-old president to step aside in favor of a younger candidate. The Democrats' crisis has given Trump little incentive to change the subject with a VP announcement that would be sure to draw a flurry of attention and focus to his pick. But Trump will have plenty of

Europeans seek to 'Trump-proof' Nato as Biden's leadership falters

Growing skepticism about President Joe Biden's reelection chances has European leaders heading to the NATO summit in Washington confronting the prospect that the military alliance's most prominent critic, Donald Trump, may return to power over its mightiest military. NATO made up of 32 European and North American allies committed to defending each other from armed attack will stress strength through solidarity as it celebrates its 75th anniversary during the summit starting Tuesday. Event host Biden, who pulled allies into a global network to help Ukraine fight off Russia's invasion, has called the alliance the most unified it has ever been. But behind the scenes, a dominant topic will be preparing for possible division, as the power of far-right forces unfriendly to NATO grows in the US and other countries including France, raising concerns about how strong support will stay for the alliance and the military aid that its members send to Ukraine. At the presidential debate, Biden

Judge declines to scrap charges against Trump valet in classified docs case

The federal judge presiding over the classified documents case against Donald Trump refused Saturday to throw out charges against a co-defendant of the former president. Lawyers for Walt Nauta, Trump's personal valet, had asked US District Judge Aileen Cannon to dismiss the indictment against their client. They argued, among other things, that Nauta was charged because of insufficient cooperation with prosecutors' investigation and because of a personal animus that they say prosecutors harbored against one of Nauta's attorneys. Special counsel Jack Smith's team has denied all the claims, and Cannon in her four-page order Saturday said Nauta had not met the high bar required to get the case dismissed. Nauta and another co-defendant, Mar-a-Lago property manager, Carlos De Oliveira, are accused of conspiring with Trump to conceal evidence from investigators as they sought to recover classified documents that were taken to the Palm Beach, Florida property after Trump's presidency ...

Biden may decide whether to remain in presidential race: Hawaii governor

President Joe Biden could make a decision within days whether to remain a candidate for reelection, said Hawaii's governor who participated in a recent meeting with Biden and other Democratic governors and whose family has known the president for years. And if Biden decides not to run, Hawaii Gov. Josh Green told The Associated Press on Saturday that he believes the president will designate Vice President Kamala Harris to replace him on the ticket. I think the president stays in this race unless he feels that it is not winnable, or he feels that he has to hear other voices in his inner circle that he shouldn't run, Green said. If the president felt that he wasn't up to it and truly not up to it, he would step down." We'll probably know in the next couple of days how the president feels about all this, he said. Biden has repeatedly insisted that he will remain in the race against his likely Republican opponent, former President Donald Trump. But questions about Biden's mental acuity

Republicans turn focus to Harris as talk of replacing Biden intensifies

For years it's been a Republican scare tactic. A vote to reelect President Joe Biden, the GOP often charges, is really a vote for Vice President Kamala Harris. It's an attack line sometimes tinged with racist and misogynist undertones and often macabre imagery. But after Biden's dismal performance at last week's presidential debate, which has sparked Democratic calls for him to step aside, what was once dismissed as a far-right conspiracy Harris replacing Biden could now have a chance of coming to pass. And Republicans, including Donald Trump, are ramping up their attacks. Trump and his allies have been rolling out new attack lines against Harris, insulting her abilities, painting her as Biden's chief enabler and accusing her of being part of a coverup of his health. It's an effort, campaign officials insist, that is not a reflection of their concerns about a potential change at the top of the ticket, given Biden's insistence he is not leaving the race. But in a post marking ...

Was sick during debate, only 'Lord Almighty' can drive me out: Biden

US President Joe Biden on Friday said he had a bad night and he was "exhausted and "sick during his first presidential debate with his Republican rival Donald Trump. He asserted that only the "Lord Almighty" could make him drop out of the race to win the November 5 election. Biden, 81, said this in a television interview, a week after his subpar debate performance in Atlanta on June 27 against Trump, following which some of his own party leaders started urging him to step down and his approval rating plummeted. Seeking his second term from his fellow Americans, Biden alleged that Trump is a pathological liar. "It was a bad episode. No indication of any serious condition. I was exhausted. I didn't listen to my instincts in terms of preparing and -- and a bad night," Biden told ABC News during his first interview after the debate, adding that his top party leadership are asking him to stay in the race. "Because I was sick. I was feeling terrible. Matter of fact the docs (doctors are
