Biden heads into a make-or-break stretch for his imperiled prez campaign

President Joe Biden on Thursday opened a critical stretch in his effort to salvage his imperiled reelection campaign, arguing the stakes extend far beyond his own political prospects to the future of the country's economy and democracy itself. There is a growing sense that Biden may have just days to make a persuasive case that he is fit for office before Democratic support for him completely evaporates in the aftermath of his disastrous debate performance last week against Republican Donald Trump. In an interview with a Wisconsin radio station that aired Thursday, Biden said, The stakes are really high. I know you know this. For democracy, for freedom ... our economy, they're all on the line." He added: The president is the most powerful office in the world. But we need someone with wisdom and character." The interview on the Earl Ingram Show on the Civic Media Radio Network, taped Wednesday, was the part of a media and public events blitz that the Democratic president and his sta

Biden vows to keep running even as signs point to eroding support

A defiant President Joe Biden vowed on Wednesday to keep running for reelection, rejecting growing pressure from Democrats to withdraw after a disastrous debate performance raised questions about his readiness. But in an ominous sign for the president, a leading ally publicly suggested a way that the party might choose someone else. I am running. I am the leader of the Democratic Party. No one is pushing me out," Biden said in a call with staffers on his reelection campaign, according to a top aide who posted his comment on the X social media platform. Biden was pulling every possible lever to try to salvage his reelection campaign talking to top legislators, pumping up his campaign staff and meeting later in the day with Democratic governors before a planned weekend blitz of travel and a network TV interview. But there were signs that support for Biden was rapidly eroding among Democrats on Capitol Hill. Rep. Jim Clyburn, a longtime Biden ally, said he would back a mini-primary i

Nikki Haley jabs top American journalist over Joe Biden's term prediction

Indian American politician Nikki Haley on Wednesday took a jibe at top American journalist George Stephanopoulos who had questioned her claim that President Joe Biden would not complete his first term and that voting for him would be a vote for Vice President Kamala Harris. Haley had said this to Stephanopoulos in an interview of the ABC News last year when she was a primary presidential candidate of the Republican Party. Haley has now suspended her campaign. "Believe me now, George?" Haley wrote on X, formerly Twitter, as she shared an edited clip from her interview with Stephanopoulos last year. The Republican leader's post comes amid media reports and internal murmurs in Democratic party that Biden should leave the election race amid his dismal performance in the presidential debate against his Republican rival Donald Trump. The post that Haley shared was captioned, "Biden is set to do his first post-debate interview with ABC's George Stephanopoulos. Here's George shouting over

US presidential elections: Trump has six point lead over Biden, says poll

Presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump has developed a six per cent lead over his Democratic rival incumbent Joe Biden with 80 percent saying that the current White House occupant is too old to run for a second term, according to a latest poll by The Wall Street Journal. The Wall Street Journal said Trump's lead over Biden in a two-person matchup, 48 per cent to 42 per cent is the widest in Journal surveys dating to late 2021 and compares with a 2-point lead in February. The new survey began interviewing voters two days after the debate with Trump that left Democrats panicked about the 81-year-old president's possible cognitive decline and their party's weakening election prospects in November, the daily reported. According to the survey, Democrats show significant discontent with Biden as their nominee. Some 76 per cent say he is too old to run this year, or about the same share as Republicans who hold that view. Two-thirds of Democrats would replace Biden on the ballot with .

Indian-origin attorney elected alternate delegate to Republican Convention

Indian-American community leader and attorney Hardam Tripathi has been elected as an official alternate delegate for the Republican National Convention in Wisconsin later this month that would formally nominate former US president Donald Trump as the party's presidential candidate. Trump, 78, is the presumptive Republican Party candidate for the presidential election and is pitched against 81-year-old incumbent President Joe Biden from the Democratic Party. The Republican National Party (RNP) convention in Milwaukee from July 14 to 18 would formally nominate Trump as its nominee for the November 5 presidential elections. A lifelong member of the Republican Party, Tripathi, said, This will be my first time serving as a National Delegate at the RNC and it is a distinct honour to represent Florida's 15th Congressional District in a historic election that is forthcoming in these great United States of America.

Pressure on Biden to step aside, Democrats feel powerless to replace him

Bernie Sanders describes President Joe Biden's recent debate performance as painful. In an interview, he says he's not confident that Biden can win this fall. But the progressive senator from Vermont does not want Biden to step aside. Instead, Sanders, who served as Biden's chief rival in the Democratic Party's 2020 nomination fight, is calling on voters to adopt a maturity as they view their options this fall. A presidential election is not a Grammy Award contest for the best singer or entertainer. It's about who has the best policies that impact our lives," Sanders said. I'm going to do everything I can to see that Biden gets reelected. That's putting the best face on it. Nearly a week after Biden's disastrous debate performance, questions about his ability to remain in the race are intensifying among concerned Democrats. But there is also a growing sense that the party has trapped itself in a bad situation with no clear solution, caught in a primary process set up to protect Bid

VP Harris has better chance of retaining WH than Prez Biden: CNN poll

Vice President Kamala Harris, who is of Indian and African heritage, has a better chance of retaining the White House in the November presidential polls than her boss President Joe Biden has, according to a latest CNN poll. The approval rating of Biden, 81, has plummeted after his dismal debate performance in Atlanta last week against his predecessor Donald Trump. Since the debate, there has been increasing voices in the ruling Democratic party for Biden to step down and let someone else run the race for the crucial November 5 presidential elections. According to the CNN poll conducted by SRS, Trump is ahead of Biden by six points. The poll also finds Harris within striking distance of Trump in a hypothetical matchup: 47 per cent of registered voters support Trump, 45 per cent Harris, a result within the margin of error that suggests there is no clear leader under such a scenario. Harris' slightly stronger showing against Trump rests at least in part on broader support from women

Trump's campaign raises $331 mn in 2nd quarter, beating Biden's haul

Donald Trump's campaign says it outraised President Joe Biden in the year's second quarter, with a reported haul of $331 million. That number bests the $264 million that Biden's reelection campaign and the Democratic National Committee reported raising over the same period earlier Tuesday, eliminating Biden's cash advantage and potentially undercutting Biden's efforts to calm fears within his party after last week's disastrous debate performance, which has prompted calls for him to step aside. Trump's total includes $111.8 million that the campaign says it raised in June. That sum is less than the $127 million Biden reported raising last month, which includes more than $33 million on the day of the debate and in its aftermath. But Trump's campaign reports that it ended the quarter with $284.9 million cash on hand, compared with $240 million reported by Biden. President Trump's campaign fundraising operation is thriving day after day and month after month," Trump campaign senior ...

US deepening relationship with India in several key areas: Official

The US is deepening its relationship with India in several key areas, including economic and security cooperation, a senior official has said, emphasising that Washington will continue to cultivate this relationship. State Department Deputy Spokesperson Vedant Patel made the remarks on Monday at his daily news conference in response to a question on US-India relations and the recent conversation between President Joe Biden and Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the sidelines of the recent G7 Summit in Italy.

Hunter Biden sues Fox News over explicit images in streaming series

Hunter Biden has accused Fox News in a lawsuit of unlawfully publishing explicit images of him as part of a streaming series. The president's son filed the lawsuit Sunday in state court in Manhattan over images in The Trial of Hunter Biden, which debuted on the streaming service Fox Nation in 2022. The series features a mock trial of Hunter Biden on charges he has not faced and it includes images of Biden in the nude and engaged in sex acts, according to the lawsuit. The lawsuit claims the dissemination of intimate images without his consent violated New York's so-called revenge porn law. Fox published and disseminated these Intimate Images to its vast audience of millions as part of an entertainment program in order to humiliate, harass, annoy and alarm Mr. Biden and to tarnish his reputation, according to the lawsuit. A Fox News spokesperson called it an entirely politically motivated lawsuit" that was "devoid of merit" in an emailed statement. The statement noted that attorneys
