India-American releases music video to rally support for Harris-Walz

An Indian American Democratic fundraiser on Thursday released a new digital video titled "I WILL VOTE FOR KAMALA HARRIS-TIM WALZ" to rally the South Asian voters in key battleground states. The Bollywood-inspired video, set to the instrumental version from movie Animal based on one of A.R. Rahman's iconic song "Dil Hai Chhota Sa, Chhoti Si Asha" from the movie Roja, is aimed at connecting with the South Asian communities across Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Georgia, Nevada, Arizona, and North Carolina. This is the moment for us to unite and show our support for Kamala Harris, said Ajay Bhutoria, National Finance Committee member for the Kamala Harris presidential campaign. He also announced plans to release additional Bollywood-inspired videos as part of ongoing efforts to boost voter turnout for Harris and her running mate Tim Walz. The choice is clear between Kamala Harris' vision for a better future and Trump's divisiveness. Thousands of South Asian volunteers are organizi

Experts warn Trump's economic plans could fuel higher inflation rates

With characteristic bravado, Donald Trump has vowed that if voters return him to the White House, inflation will vanish completely". It's a message tailored for Americans who are still exasperated by the jump in consumer prices that began 3 1/2 years ago. Yet most mainstream economists say Trump's policy proposals wouldn't vanquish inflation. They'd make it worse. They warn that his plans to impose huge tariffs on imported goods, deport millions of migrant workers and demand a voice in the Federal Reserve's interest rate policies would likely send prices surging. Sixteen Nobel Prize-winning economists signed a letter in June expressing fear that Trump's proposals would reignite' inflation, which has plummeted since peaking at 9.1 per cent in 2022 and is nearly back to the Fed's 2 per cent target. Last month, the Peterson Institute for International Economics predicted that Trump's policies would drive consumer prices sharply higher two years into his second term. Peterson's analysi

Suspicious package sent to elections officials in Minnesota prompts probe

The FBI and the US Postal Inspection Service on Friday were investigating the origin of a suspicious package that was sent to the Minnesota Secretary of State's Office, prompting an hourslong evacuation. Friday's episode in Minnesota was the latest in a string of suspicious package deliveries to elections officials in more than 15 states earlier this month. The Minnesota Secretary of State's Office in St Paul was evacuated around noon on Friday, and the building remained under lockdown into the afternoon, said Cassondra Knudson, a spokesperson for the office. The package was addressed to the office with a return address to the United States Traitor Elimination Army, the office said in a news release. That matches the sender of a package to the Colorado Secretary of State's Office earlier this month. Minnesota Secretary of State Steve Simon said his office would work with law enforcement agencies to hold whoever sent the package accountable. Threatening election officials is ...

Russians mock US election allegations as Putin says he supports Harris

Russian commentators on Thursday mocked allegations that Moscow was meddling again in the US presidential election, and President Vladimir Putin appeared to bolster the teasing tone by wryly claiming he supported Vice President Kamala Harris. On Wednesday, the US Justice Department said the Russian state-owned broadcaster RT is carrying out a covert campaign to influence the American public ahead of the election. Two state media employees were charged, and 10 people and two entities were sanctioned, with Kremlin-run websites seized. The Justice Department did not identify which candidate the propaganda campaign was meant to boost. But internal strategy notes from participants in the effort released by the Justice Department make clear that former President Donald Trump was the intended beneficiary, even though the candidates' names were blacked out. The Kremlin has dismissed previous allegations of interference in US elections, from 2016 and onward, as nonsense. A Foreign Ministry .

Harris-Walz embark on bus tour in Pennsylvania before Chicago convention

Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris and running mate Tim Walz embarked on a bus tour in southwestern Pennsylvania on Sunday, hoping to ride a wave of enthusiasm for her candidacy to their party's nominating convention in Chicago this week. Vice President Harris and Walz, the governor of Minnesota, were joined by their spouses, Doug Emhoff and Gwen Walz, as they arrived at Pittsburgh International Airport and greeted supporters. They will make stops in the Pittsburgh area to glad-hand with voters. Harris and Emhoff were scheduled to deliver remarks at an event in the borough of Rochester, in Beaver County, which Donald Trump, the Republican presidential nominee, won in 2020. The stop came exactly four weeks after President Joe Biden Biden dropped his reelection bid and endorsed Harris to replace him on the ticket. Southwestern Pennsylvania is a critical part of a key battleground state that has long commanded the attention of presidential candidates. The state voted for Tru

Beyond childless cat ladies, JD Vance's long quest to encourage more births

Five summers ago, Donald Trump's running mate JD Vance then a 34-year-old memoirist and father of a 2-year-old boy took the stage at a conservative conference and tackled an issue that would become a core part of his political brand: the United States' declining fertility rate. Our people aren't having enough children to replace themselves. That should bother us, Vance told the gathering in Washington. He outlined the obvious concern that Social Security depends on younger workers' contributions and then said, We want babies not just because they are economically useful. We want more babies because children are good. And we believe children are good, because we are not sociopaths. Vance repeatedly expressed alarm about declining birth rates as he launched his political career in 2021 with a bid for the U.S. Senate in Ohio. His criticism then of Vice President Kamala Harris, now the Democratic presidential nominee, and other high-profile Democrats as childless cat ladies who didn't

Harris gains ground in key battleground States, continues fundraising spree

: Indian American Kamala Harris, Vice President of the United States and the Democratic presidential nominee, has gained ground nationally and also in several key battleground States. Harris, 59, not only continues to be on a fundraising spree, taking her campaign coffers to an unprecedented level but also has been receiving a record crowd in her rallies. We will win this election, Harris told a fundraiser in San Francisco wherein she raised another USD 12 million that was attended by some 700 donors, including several Indian Americans.

Picking the VP: Inside the 16 days between Harris' launch & her Walz choice

Kamala Harris' whirlwind process to select Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate can be summed up in a word: weird. With President Joe Biden and Harris, his vice president, seeking a second term together, Democrats weren't supposed to have a veep search at all. But as soon as the 81-year-old president ended his campaign and endorsed Harris, it was go time. And there was no playbook for the newly elevated candidate and a vetting team that in a normal campaign would have months, not days, to make such a critical decision. What followed was a 16-day blitz on parallel tracks. There was the behind-the-scenes action: Harris' lieutenants furiously researching contenders, the vice president debating options with top aides and confidants, and, finally, a weekend of interviews with finalists. And there was the public campaign: Contenders found every cable news camera, stumped in battleground states for the prospective boss, tried out attack lines on Republican nominee Donald Trump and h
