Trump breaks GOP losing streak in Dearborn with Arab-American support

Faced with two choices she didn't like, Suehaila Amen chose neither. Instead, the longtime Democrat from the Arab American stronghold of Dearborn, Michigan, backed a third-party candidate for president, adding her voice to a remarkable turnaround that helped Donald Trump reclaim Michigan and the presidency. In Dearborn, where nearly half of the 110,000 residents are of Arab descent, Vice President Kamala Harris received over 2,500 fewer votes than Trump, who became the first Republican presidential candidate since former President George W. Bush in 2000 to win the city. Harris also lost neighboring Dearborn Heights to Trump, who in his previous term as president banned travel from several mostly-Muslim countries. Harris lost the presidential vote in two Detroit-area cities with large Arab American populations after months of warnings from local Democrats about the Biden-Harris administration's unwavering support for Israel in the war in Gaza. Some said they backed Trump after he ...

Biden should resign, make Harris first female President, says former aide

A former staffer of Vice President Kamala Harris urged President Joe Biden to resign and install his deputy as the first woman president of the country, although for a short duration. Joe Biden has been amazing but he should fulfil one last promise - to be transitional," Jamal Simmons, former communications director for the vice president said on a social media post after making a similar suggestion during a Sunday talk show. Joe Biden's been a phenomenal president, he's lived up to so many of the promises he's made. There's one promise left that he could fulfil, being a transitional figure. He could resign the presidency in the next 30 days, make Kamala Harris President of the United States," Simmons told CNN's"Situation Room in an interview. "It'd turn tables on Trump, keep Kamala from presiding over January 6 and make it easier for the next woman to run, he said. It would absolve her from having to oversee the January 6 transition of her own defeat. And it would make sure, it wo

Democrats need to focus on economic hardships: Indian American Congressman

Days after the defeat of Kamala Harris in the presidential elections, a top Indian American Congressman on Sunday said that the Democratic Party should focus only on addressing the economic hardships of the people. We need to have a vision on building new factories, on helping raise the minimum wage, on dealing with childcare, and emphasizing that our party has a better economic story," said Ro Khanna, who represents Silicon Valley in the US House of Representatives told CBS News in an interview. We did not have a compelling enough economic vision. The Democratic Party should have one simple mission, and that is to address the economic hardships and struggles of many Americans, not just working-class Americans, a large slice of Americans who feel the American Dream has slipped away for their families and their kids, Khanna said. "I think that could unify our party, moderates and progressives. It transcends race and will help us with Latino voters, Black voters, white working-class .

In the House, Republicans have so far won 216 seats against 209 of the Democrats. The majority mark is 218.

Trump has now flipped it back. He campaigned heavily o

Trump urges supporters to donate to Democrats, help in 'financial crisis'

President-elect Donald Trump urged his supporters to donate to Democrats to help them overcome the "financial strain" in the aftermath of the general elections. In a social media post, Trump expressed his surprise that the Democrats didn't have lots of dollars left over. "Now they are being squeezed by vendors and others, he said after reports emerged that the Harris Campaign is USD 20 million in debt. Kamala Harris's campaign ended with at least USD 20 million in debt, per two sources familiar. Harris raised over USD 1 billion and had USD 118 million in the bank as of Oct 16, said Christopher Cadelago, the California bureau chief of Politico. "I am very surprised that the Democrats, who fought a hard and valiant fight in the 2020 Presidential Election, raising a record amount of money, didn't have lots of dollars left over. Now they are being squeezed by vendors and others, he said. "Whatever we can do to help them during this difficult period, I would strongly recommend we, as a

Democracy motivating factor for both Harris, Trump voters in Prez poll

While inflation and immigration emerged as the dominant themes in this year's presidential race, another issue was prominent in the minds of voters for both major candidates: the stakes for democracy. Half of voters identified democracy as the single most important motivating factor for their vote. That was higher than the share of voters who answered the same way about inflation, the situation at the US-Mexico border, abortion policy or free speech, according to AP VoteCast, a survey of more than 120,000 voters nationwide. Notably, backers of Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris and Republican Donald Trump, the president-elect, saw the issue from different perspectives. About two-thirds of Harris voters said the future of democracy was the most important factor for their votes. No other topic high prices, abortion policy, free speech or the potential of the first woman to be elected as president was as big a factor for her supporters. Harris especially leaned into this messagi

Your unifying message of hope will keep inspiring many: Rahul to Harris

Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi has written to outgoing US Vice President Kamala Harris congratulating her on her spirited presidential campaign and said her unifying message of hope will continue to inspire many.

Your unifying message of hope will continue to inspire many," Gandhi said in his letter to Harris.

America of your dreams calling: Biden tells Democratic supporters

Outgoing US President Joe Biden on Thursday vowed to ensure a peaceful and orderly transfer of power to President-elect Donald Trump in January and said the electoral drubbing did not mean the Democrats' movement was defeated. Biden made the comments during an address to the nation a day after Trump, 78, was re-elected as the 47th president of the US after defeating Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic Party's nominee. Trump, who lost the 2020 elections to President Biden, pulled off an incredible comeback, wresting 295 electoral college votes against Harris' 226 in a fierce contest that almost left the Americans with two world views. Yesterday, I spoke with President-elect Trump to congratulate him on his victory. I assured him that I would direct my entire administration to work with his team to ensure a peaceful and orderly transition," Biden said in his address from the Rose Garden of the White House. "That's what the American people deserve, he added. The US President

California Guv calls session to protect liberal policies from Trump admin

California's Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom, a fierce critic of former President Donald Trump, on Thursday called for lawmakers to convene a special session later this year to safeguard the state's progressive policies on climate change, reproductive rights and immigration ahead of another Trump presidency. The move a day after the former president resoundingly defeated Vice President Kamala Harris in the presidential race effectively reignited California's resistance campaign against conservative policies that state Democratic leaders started during the first Trump administration. The freedoms we hold dear in California are under attack and we won't sit idle, Newsom, who reportedly has ambitions on the national stage, said in a statement. California has faced this challenge before, and we know how to respond. We are prepared to fight in the courts, and we will do everything necessary to ensure Californians have the support and resources they need to thrive. Newsom and lawmakers sa

Here is how five key demographic groups voted in 2024 US Presidential poll

Donald Trump won the presidency after holding tight to his core base of voters and slightly expanding his coalition to include several groups that have traditionally been a part of the Democratic base. That finding comes from AP VoteCast, a sweeping survey of more than 120,000 voters nationwide that shows what issues mattered to voters in this election. Trump picked up a small but significant share of Black and Hispanic voters, and made narrow gains with men and women. As Trump chipped away at parts of Democrats' coalition, Vice President Kamala Harris wasn't able to make enough of her own gains. Trump succeeded in locking down his traditionally older, white base of voters, and he slightly expanded his margins with other groups into a winning coalition. Here's how five key demographic groups voted, according to AP VoteCast. Most Trump voters were white, a trend that continued from 2020 Slightly more than 8 in 10 Trump voters in this election were white, roughly in line with 2020.
