He should be on this stage tonight: Trump's rivals during 2nd GOP debate

Donald Trump's rivals laid into him repeatedly during the second presidential debate on Wednesday, ripping the former president for skipping the event as they sought to dent his commanding early lead in the Republican primary. He should be on this stage tonight, said Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who is attempting to establish himself as the leading Trump alternative despite recent struggles to break out from the rest of the back. He owes it to you to defend his record where they added USD 7.8 trillion to the debt. That set the stage for the inflation we have now. Seven GOP candidates squared off at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in California for an event hosted by Fox Business Network. Trump was in Michigan, delivering a prime-time speech that continued through the start of the debate, attempting to capitalize on the Auto Workers Union strike and trying to appeal to rank-and-file union members in a key state that could help decide the general election. The debate comes at a .

Biden sounds clarion call to defend democracy in his re-election campaign

On the anniversary of the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, President Joe Biden stood in early 2022 at the literal epicenter of the insurrection and accused Donald Trump of continuing to hold a dagger at democracy's throat. Biden closed out the summer that same year in the shadow of Philadelphia's Independence Hall, decrying Trumpism as a menace to democratic institutions. And that November, as voters were casting ballots in the midterm elections, Biden again sounded a clarion call to protect democratic institutions, warning that their underpinnings remained under threat. Biden on Thursday will make his fourth in a series of presidential addresses about the state of democracy, a cause that is a key motivator and a touchstone for him as he tries to remain in office even in the face of low approval ratings and widespread concern from voters about his age. The location for this speech, as was the case for the others, was deliberately chosen: It will be near Arizona State University, which houses th

Trump rails against electric cars in Michigan while GOP challengers debate

As his Republican rivals prepared to gather onstage in California for their second primary debate, Donald Trump was in battleground Michigan Wednesday night working to win over blue-collar voters by lambasting President Joe Biden and his push for electric cars in the midst of an autoworkers' strike. A vote for President Trump means the future of the automobile will be made in America, Trump said at Drake Enterprises, a non-unionized auto parts supplier in Clinton Township, about a half-hour outside Detroit. The Republican front-runner's trip comes a day after Biden became the first sitting president in U.S. history to walk a picket line as he joined United Auto Workers in Detroit. The union is pushing for higher wages, shorter work weeks and assurances from the country's top automakers that new electric vehicle jobs will be unionized. The dueling appearances preview what will likely be a chief dynamic of the 2024 general election, which increasingly looks like a rematch between Trum

Trump defrauded banks, insurers while building real estate empire: Judge

A judge has ruled that Donald Trump committed fraud for years while building the real estate empire that catapulted him to fame and the White House. Judge Arthur Engoron, ruling in a civil lawsuit brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James on Tuesday, found that the former president and his company deceived banks, insurers and others by massively overvaluing his assets and exaggerating his net worth on paperwork used in making deals and securing loans. Engoron ordered that some of Trump's business licenses be rescinded as punishment, making it difficult or impossible for them to do business in New York, and said he would continue to have an independent monitor oversee Trump Organization operations. Trump's lawyer, Christopher Kise, said they intend to appeal the decision, calling it a miscarriage of justice and completely disconnected from the facts and governing law. The decision seeks to nationalize one of the most successful corporate empires in the United States and sei

Republicans meet for second presidential debate to blunt Trump's momentum

Republicans are meeting for their second presidential debate on Wednesday as his top rivals seek to blunt the momentum of Donald Trump, who is so confident of cruising through the party's primary that he again won't share a stage with them. Seven GOP candidates will be at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library for an event hosted by Fox Business Network. Trump will be in Michigan, delivering a prime-time speech attempting to capitalize on the Auto Workers Union strike and trying to appeal to rank-and-file union members in a key state for the general election. The debate comes at a critical moment in the GOP campaign, with less than four months before the Iowa caucuses formally launch the presidential nomination process. For now, Trump is dominating the field even as he faces a range of vulnerabilities, including four criminal indictments that raise the prospect of decades in prison. His rivals are running out of time to dent his lead, which is building a sense of urgency among som

Trump joins Michigan battleground to compete with Biden for union votes

As his Republican rivals gather onstage in California for their second primary debate, former President Donald Trump will be in battleground Michigan on Wednesday night working to win over blue-collar voters in the midst of an autoworkers' strike. Trump's trip comes a day after President Joe Biden became the first sitting president in US history to walk a picket line as he joined United Auto Workers in Detroit. The union is pushing for higher wages, shorter work weeks and assurances from the country's top automakers that new electric vehicle jobs will be unionised. The dueling appearances reflect what will likely be a chief dynamic of the 2024 general election, which is increasingly looking like a rematch between Trump and Biden. Michigan is expected to be a critical battleground state as both candidates try to paint themselves as champions of the working class. Trump is scheduled to deliver primetime remarks at Drake Enterprises, a non-unionised auto parts supplier in Clinton ...

Ramaswamy accuses Trump of making false promise in not repealing Obamacare

Republican presidential hopeful Vivek Ramaswamy swiped at former President Donald Trump on Thursday for failing to repeal and replace the health care overhaul championed by his predecessor, President Barack Obama. I am never somebody who will make a false promise, Ramaswamy said at an event in a suburb of Columbus, Ohio. My friend Donald Trump promised us: repeal and replace Obamacare. Eight years later, did it happen? No, it did not. It is a false promise if it is contingent on Congress. It was a rare dig at Trump by Ramaswamy, a 38-year-old businessman who is a fierce defender of the former president even while running against him for the 2024 Republican nomination. Ramaswamy has referred to Trump as the best president of the 21st century and at times has drawn criticism from other campaigns for his praise of Trump. Ramaswamy is among a pack of candidates trailing Trump and generally falling behind Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis in national polls. Some polls suggest that he is perform

Biden tells broadway theatre that Trump is determined to destroy nation

President Joe Biden on Monday told a packed Broadway theatre full of big-name stars hosting a fundraiser in his honour that he was running for reelection because Donald Trump was determined to destroy the nation. Democracy is at stake, he told the audience at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre. Hate groups have been emboldened, he said. Books are being banned. Children go to school fearing shootings. Let there be no question, Donald Trump and his MAGA Republicans are determined to destroy American democracy, he said, referring to the former president's slogan, Make America Great Again. "And I will always defend, protect and fight for our democracy. Biden also accused Trump and his allies of bowing down to authoritarians: I will not side with dictators like Putin. Maybe Trump and his MAGA friends can bow down but I won't." It was the among the president's strongest rebukes of the Republican front-runner and former president, who is facing criminal charges for his role in the effort to overtu

Trump to meet with striking autoworkers in Michigan, to skip GOP debate

Former President Donald Trump will travel to the battleground state of Michigan next week to meet with striking autoworkers instead of participating in the second Republican presidential debate, a person familiar with his plans said Monday. Trump, who also skipped the first debate last month, has signaled that he is already focused on the 2024 election against President Joe Biden as he maintains a wide lead against his GOP rivals in primary polls. In recent days, he has been leaning hard into the strike, painting himself as sympathetic to the workers and accusing Biden of trying to destroy the car industry by expanding electric cars and other green energy policies. The September 27 trip, first reported by The New York Times, will also include a primetime speech, according to the person familiar with the plans who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity before they were made public. That's the date others in the GOP field will gather at the Ronald Reagan Presidential

Trump's last-minute legal challenge could disrupt New York fraud trial

A last-minute legal challenge by Donald Trump 's lawyers could disrupt a trial scheduled for next month in the New York attorney general's business fraud lawsuit against the former president and his company. A state appeals court judge on Thursday ordered a potential postponement of the non-jury trial, scheduled to start October 2, after Trump's lawyers filed a lawsuit accusing the trial judge, Arthur Engoron, of repeatedly abusing his authority. Justice David Friedman, a judge on the state's intermediate appellate court, granted an interim stay of the trial and ordered the full appeals court to consider the lawsuit on an expedited basis. The court indicated it would issue a decision the week of September 25, meaning the trial could still start on schedule depending on how it rules. Among the issues raised by Trump's lawyers were Engoron's terse refusal to grant their recent request for a three-week trial delay, which he ruled as completely without merit, and lingering uncertainty

Trump must use secure facility to review classified evidence in docs case

A federal judge in the case charging Donald Trump with illegally hoarding top secret documents at his Florida estate directed the former president on Wednesday to use a secure facility to review classified evidence and sharply restricted his ability to discuss that information with others. US District Judge Aileen Cannon issued a protective order saying that Trump and his legal team cannot disclose classified information in the case to anyone other than the court, government personnel who hold appropriate security clearances and have been determined to have a need-to-know and others "specifically authorized to access that information". The order from Cannon followed a sealed hearing this week between lawyers for Trump and two other defendants in the case and prosecutors on special counsel Jack Smith's team. It concerned a generally perfunctory, but in this case contested, issue of how the parties should be directed to handle the classified evidence at the centre of the ...

Georgia election case prosecutors cite fairness in urging 1 trial for Trump

Prosecutors who have accused former President Donald Trump and 18 others of participating in an illegal scheme to overturn the results of the 2020 election in Georgia maintain that all of the defendants should be tried together, citing efficiency and fairness. The case was brought under the state's anti-racketeering law, meaning the same witnesses and evidence will be used in any trial, they wrote in a brief they said was filed on Tuesday. Holding several lengthy trials instead would create an enormous strain on the judicial resources of the county superior court and would randomly favour the defendants tried later, who would have the advantage of seeing the state's evidence and arguments ahead of time, prosecutors wrote. Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis said last month in announcing the charges that she wanted to try all 19 defendants together. Two of the people charged have filed speedy trial demands, and Judge Scott McAfee set their trial for October 23. At a hearing

Trump lawyers seek recusal of judge presiding over election subversion case

Lawyers for Donald Trump on Monday asked the federal judge presiding over his election subversion case in Washington to recuse herself, saying her past public statements about the former president and his connection to the January 6, 2021, riot at the US Capitol call into question whether she can be fair. The recusal motion from Trump's lawyers takes aim at US District Judge Tanya Chutkan, a former assistant public defender who was nominated to the bench by President Barack Obama and has since stood out as one of the toughest punishers of January 6 defendants. The request that she step aside is the latest flashpoint in already delicate relations between the defense team and the judge, who has repeatedly warned against inflammatory public comments from Trump but has nonetheless been lambasted on social media by him. Although Judge Chutkan may genuinely intend to give President Trump a fair trial and may believe that she can do so her public statements unavoidably taint these ...
