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 .

America deserves badass commander-in-chief right now: Vivek Ramaswamy

Of the view that the comeback of president-elect Donald Trump is the American comeback, entrepreneur-turned-politician Vivek Ramaswamy on Wednesday said that the country deserves a "badass commander-in-chief" right now and that's exactly what it got. Trump, 78, not only won the November 5 presidential elections in both popular votes and electoral college votes but also got the Republican Party control of the House of Representatives and the Senate. Here's the reason why Donald Trump won by the largest margin of any president in modern history. He's not an ideologue. He's not a policy wonk. He's an American badass. They tried to DQ him, jail him, kill him (twice). None of it worked. Our self-appointed betters' in the media misunderstood him, underestimated him, doubted him, Ramaswamy said on Wednesday. But not once during this campaign did Trump misunderstand, underestimate, or doubt himself. As everyone at Mar-a-Lago celebrated around him last night, I watched him unfazed, with full

Donald Trump sowed doubts about voting until results showed him winning

President-elect Donald Trump and his Republican allies had spent months seeding doubt in the integrity of American voting systems and priming supporters to expect a 2024 election riddled with massive and inevitable fraud. The former president continued laying that groundwork even during a mostly smooth day of voting Tuesday, making unsubstantiated claims related to Philadelphia and Detroit and highlighting concerns about election operations in Milwaukee. Shortly before polls began closing, he took to his social media platform to announce, without providing details, A lot of talk about massive CHEATING in Philadelphia. The declaration produced immediate denials from city leaders who said there was zero evidence of any wrongdoing. Yet Trump's grim warnings abruptly ended in the later hours of the evening as early returns began tipping in his favour. During his election night speech, the president-elect touted a magnificent victory as he claimed ownership for the favourable results and

US presidential election outcome also verdict on Biden: Former Indian envoy

With Donald Trump elected president of the US, riding a historic political comeback, a former Indian diplomat on Wednesday said the election outcome is also a verdict on incumbent President Joe Biden. The 78-year-old Republican leader won the US presidency for a second term, trouncing his Democratic rival Kamala Harris in a bitterly-fought election. While the formal Inauguration ceremony at the White House is still nearly two months away, India's former ambassador to Italy, K P Fabian, suggested that Trump would like the "Ukraine war to be over". Asked about the outcome of the US election, Fabian said, "Though Kamala Harris was the candidate, it was also a verdict on (Joe) Biden. Because, she was the Vice President and Biden nominated her. So, partly, she was carrying the Biden burden in respect of the economy." And, with prices going up, especially of gas, and for Americans who roam all round in their cars, this is very important, he said. Many US voters counted immigration, bord
