US voters fear post-election violence, attempts to overturn results: Poll

American voters are approaching the presidential election with deep unease about what could follow, including the potential for political violence, attempts to overturn the election results and its broader implications for democracy, according to a new poll. The findings of the survey, conducted by The Associated Press-NORC Centre for Public Affairs Research, speak to persistent concerns about the fragility of the world's oldest democracy, nearly four years after former President Donald Trump's refusal to accept the 2020 election results inspired a mob of his supporters to storm the US Capitol in a violent attempt to stop the peaceful transfer of power. About 4 in 10 registered voters say they are extremely or very concerned about violent attempts to overturn the results after the November election. A similar share is worried about legal efforts to do so. And about 1 in 3 voters say they are extremely or very concerned about attempts by local or state election officials to stop the

Trump veers away from swing states for his Madison Square Garden moment

Donald Trump is finally getting his Madison Square Garden moment. With just over a week to go before Election Day, the former president will take the stage at one of the country's most iconic venues, hosting a hometown rally to deliver his campaign's closing message against Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris. Madison Square Garden is the centre of the universe," said Trump campaign senior adviser Jason Miller, noting the venue's storied history hosting events including the 1971 Fight of the Century." The rally is one of a series of detours Trump has made from battleground states, including a recent rally in Coachella, California best known for the famous music festival named after the town and one over the summer on the Jersey Shore. This summer he campaigned in the South Bronx. While some Democrats and TV pundits have questioned Trump's decision to hold what they dismiss as vanity events, the rally guarantees Trump what he most craves: the spotlight, wall-to-wall coverage a

Vivek Ramaswamy seeks single-day nationwide voting, opposes early voting

Entrepreneur-turned-politician Vivek Ramaswamy on Thursday opposed the provision of early voting and instead called for a single-day nationwide voting and making an identity card compulsory for voters' identification. I'll be honest with you. I don't love early voting. I never have. I believe we need single-day voting on Election Day as a national holiday with paper ballots and government-issued ID to match the voter file. That's what I believe. That's what Donald Trump believes, Ramaswamy said at an election rally in the battle ground state of Arizona that was addressed by Trump. Let me tell you something. You got to play by the rules we have in order to change the rules to what they should be. So I'm asking you, as Republicans, we may not like early voting. Get out there and do it anyway because we have an election to win and a country to save, he said. Our founding fathers, they made a sacrifice. There were 56 men who signed the Declaration of Independence. What happened to them?

Kamala Harris attacks Republican rival, says 'Trump unfit to be president'

Launching a scathing attack on her Republican rival former president Donald Trump, Vice President and Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris on Wednesday charged that he is unfit to lead the country. Yesterday we learned that Donald Trump's former chief of staff, John Kelly, a retired four-star general, confirmed that while Donald Trump was president, he said he wanted generals like Adolf Hitler had, Harris told reporters at her official residence in the American Capital. Donald Trump said that because he does not want a military that is loyal to the United States Constitution. He wants a military that is loyal to him. He wants a military who will be loyal to him personally, one that will obey his orders even when he tells them to break the law or abandon their oath to the Constitution of the United States, she said. In just the past week, Donald Trump has repeatedly called his fellow Americans the enemy from within, and even said that he would use the United States military

Vice President Kamala Harris, who is the presidential nominee of the ruling Democratic party, plans to make a closing argument of the electrifying election campaign at the iconic Ellipse, the park just outside the White House on October 29, exactly a week ahead of the November 5 general elections. Expected to be attended by thousands of her supporters, Harris (60) plans to make a passionate appeal to the nation and urge her fellow countrymen to vote for a new vision and turn the page during her address from the historic Ellipse on Tuesday, October 29, multiple media reports said Wednesday.

Around 21 million Americans have already voted in US presidential polls

Two weeks before the US presidential elections, as many as 21 million Americans have already cast their vote in the middle of an intense election campaign between the two candidates: Vice President Kamala Harris from the Democratic Party and the former president Donald Trump from the Republican Party. According to data from the Election Lab at the University of Florida, about 7.8 million votes have come in through early in-person methods while the remaining over 13.3 million votes have been cast through mail ballots. Unlike the Indian general elections, wherein campaigning stops 36 hours before the start of the voting, both campaigning and voting go parallel to each other at least for about four weeks. The US presidential elections are scheduled to be held on November 5. Political pundits say the winner would be decided on the results of the polls in seven battleground States: Arizona, Nevada, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Georgia. Early voting is a unique

Global leaders terrified of Trump, quietly tell me, 'he can't win': Biden

President Joe Biden tore into his predecessor on Tuesday, suggesting that global leaders are terrified of what Donald Trump's return to the White House could do to democratic rule around the world. Every international meeting I attend, Biden said, specifically referencing his whirlwind trip to Germany last week, They pull me aside one leader after the other, quietly and say, Joe, he can't win.' My democracy is at stake. His voice rising, Biden then asked if, America walks away, who leads the world? Who? Name me a country. The comments came during what was supposed to be a rather staid speech on health care in New Hampshire. They were a dose of unfiltered politics at an event otherwise focused on Biden's policy legacy with the race to replace him just two weeks from concluding. And they made clear that the president also sees not having Trump succeed him as an important piece of how he might go down in history. After the speech, Biden went to a campaign office to support New ...

Russia, Iran may fuel violent post-election protests in US: Intel officials

Russia and Iran may try to encourage violent protests in the US after next month's election, senior intelligence officials warned Tuesday, citing two recent examples of foreign intelligence agencies seeking to sow discord ahead of the vote. The officials, with the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, said both countries could support violent protests either by covertly organizing events themselves or by encouraging participation in those planned by domestic groups. The aim, the officials said, would be to increase division, cast doubt on election results and complicate the transfer of presidential power. In January, Russian military intelligence tried to recruit an American to organize protests in the US, according to a declassified national intelligence memo released publicly Tuesday. The American was probably unwitting and did not know he was in contact with Russian agents, the memo said. The US first accused the Iranian government of covertly supporting protests again

Ready if Trump tries to declare early win, not worried about sexism: Harris

Vice President Kamala Harris said Tuesday that her team is prepared to challenge Donald Trump if he tries to prematurely declare victory in the 2024 election but she's first focused on beating the Republican nominee. Harris spoke to NBC News just two weeks before Election Day, as part of a media blitz meant to deliver her closing argument before as many persuadable voters as possible. She said she was not concerned about the role sexism could play in the election, as she stands to be the first woman elected to the White House, and again defended President Joe Biden's fitness for office. Harris said the Democrats have the resources and the expertise should Trump try to subvert the election. This is a person, Donald Trump, who tried to undo the a free and fair election, who still denies the will of the people, who incited a violent mob to attack the United States Capitol and some 140 law enforcement officers were attacked. Some were killed. This is a very serious matter, she ...
