The Russian president's spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, was speaking a week after Putin said in a teasing remark that he favoured Harris over Trump
Kamala Harris' direct stare, confident body language and frankly incredulous expression at his statements put paid to intimidation of the kind Donald Trump inflicted on Hillary Clinton in 2016
US Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has accused his Democratic rival Kamala Harris of hating Israel and said if she became president, the Jewish state would not exist "within two years from now". Trump's comments came during a bitter televised debate with Harris on Tuesday in Pennsylvania. He asserted that the Israel-Hamas war would have never started if he had been president. She wouldn't even meet with Netanyahu when he went to Congress to make a very important speech. She refused to be there because she was at a sorority party of hers She hates Israel," Trump, 78, said. "If she is president I believe Israel will not exist within two years from now, he claimed. I've been pretty good at predictions, but I hope I'm wrong on that one," the former president said. At the same time, in her own way, she hates the Arab population, because the whole place is going to get blown up: Arabs, Jewish people, Israel. Israel will be gone, Trump said during the debate hosted by ...
Biden and Harris will start their day with a visit to the New York City site where planes brought down the World Trade Center's twin towers
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and British Foreign Secretary David Lammy arrived in Kyiv on a joint visit Wednesday, as Ukraine presses the West to allow it to use long-range missiles against Russia. The top diplomats reached the Ukrainian capital by train hours after the US presidential debate during which Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Trump sparred over the 2 1/2-year war in Ukraine. Blinken travelled from London, where he accused Iran of providing Russia with Fath-360 short-range ballistic missiles, calling the move a dramatic escalation of the war. For months, Ukraine has been requesting approval to use long-range weapons from the United States and Western allies to strike targets in Russia, and is expected to press harder given Russia's latest reported weapons acquisition. If we are allowed to destroy military targets or weapons prepared by the enemy for attacks on Ukraine, it would certainly bring more safety for our civilians, our people, and our ..
Several high-profile celebrities have openly endorsed Kamala Harris, with their public backing helping her campaign gain significant traction
In a fiery 90-minute debate, Harris frequently rattled Donald Trump with personal attacks, throwing him off message and raising the temperature of this highly anticipated contest
Kamala Harris and Donald Trump showcased starkly different visions for the country on abortion, immigration and American democracy as they met for the first time Tuesday for perhaps their only debate before November's presidential election. The Democratic vice president moved to get under the skin of the former Republican president, provoking him with reminders about the 2020 election loss that he still denies and delivering derisive asides at his other false claims. Harris' needling prompted Trump to launch into the sort of freewheeling personal attacks and digressions that his advisers and supporters have tried to steer him away from. The vice president moved to far more effectively press the Democratic case against Trump than President Joe Biden did in June, presaging a more contentious and competitive race now that Harris is the one taking on Trump. The pair outlined sharply opposite visions of where the nation is and where they intend to take it if elected. Harris promised tax
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has said he will end the Russia-Ukraine war if he wins the November presidential elections, an assertion dismissed by his Democratic rival Kamala Harris who said the former US president would "just give up". Trading barbs with Vice President Harris on Tuesday at their first presidential debate in Pennsylvania ahead of the US general elections on November 5, Trump said the war would have never started had he been the president. I'll get the war with Ukraine and Russia ended. If I'm president-elect, I'll get it done before even becoming president, Trump, 78, said in response to a question during the debate. Asserting there was no threat of war in the four years he was president from 2017 to 2021, Trump said, "I know (Russian President Vladimir) Putin very well. He would have never -- and there was no threat of it either, by the way, for four years -- gone into Ukraine and killed millions of people when you add it up... Trump blamed the .

With eight weeks to go before the Nov. 5 election, and days until early voting starts in some states, the debate - the only one scheduled - presented both opportunities and risks
The US is remembering the lives taken and those reshaped by 9/11, marking an anniversary laced this year with presidential campaign politics. Sept 11 the date when hijacked plane attacks killed nearly 3,000 people in 2001 falls in the thick of the presidential election season every four years, and it comes at an especially pointed moment this time. Fresh off their first-ever debate Tuesday night, Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump are both expected to attend 9/11 observances at the World Trade Center in New York and the Flight 93 National Memorial in Pennsylvania. Then-senators and presidential campaign rivals John McCain and Barack Obama made a visible effort to put politics aside on the 2008 anniversary. They visited ground zero together to pay their respects and lay flowers in a reflecting pool at what was then still a pit. It's not yet clear whether Harris and Trump even will cross paths. If they do, it would be an extraordinary encounter at a somb

In a fiery debate between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump in the run-up to November elections in the US, the former US president made outlandish claims over immigrants, abortions, among others
Former President Donald Trump persisted Tuesday in saying during a nationally televised presidential debate that he had won the 2020 election and continued to take no responsibility for any of the mayhem that unfolded at the US Capitol on January 6, 2021, when his supporters stormed the building to block the peaceful transfer of power. The comments underscored the Republican's refusal, even four years later, to accept the reality of his defeat and his unwillingness to admit the extent to which his falsehoods about his election loss emboldened the mob that rushed the Capitol, resulting in violent clashes with law enforcement. It also made clear that Trump's grievances about 2020 remain central to his campaign against his Democratic opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris, as he continues to profess allegiance to the rioters. Asked twice if he regretted anything he did on January 6, when he told his supporters to march to the Capitol and exhorted them to fight like hell, Trump at first
