Trump questions acceptance of transgenders at Moms for Liberty gathering

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump lamented the growing acceptance of transgender Americans Friday in an appearance at the annual gathering of Moms for Liberty, a national nonprofit that has spearheaded efforts to get mentions of LGBTQ+ identity and structural racism out of K-12 classrooms. Trump said transgender women should not be allowed to play in women's sports and said access to gender-affirming health care should be restricted. But he largely stuck to his favourite topics during an hourlong fireside chat in Washington, where he lashed out at President Joe Biden, deplored illegal immigration and reminisced about his parents' marriage, his path to being the reality television star of The Apprentice and the debate that ended Biden's reelection campaign. Our country is being poisoned. And your schools and your children are suffering greatly because they're going into the classrooms and taking disease, and they don't even speak English," Trump said of immigrants crossing

US elections: America ready to turn page on Trump, says Kamala Harris

The American people are ready to "turn the page" on Donald Trump, Kamala Harris has said, asserting that her Republican challenger is pushing an agenda which "divides" the country and "diminishes the character" of its people. In her first major television interview of her presidential campaign, the 59-year-old US Vice President, who will face Trump in the November 5 elections, said the American people are ready for a "new way forward". "I think sadly in the last decade, we have had in the former president someone who has really been pushing an agenda and an environment that is about diminishing the character and the strength of who we are as Americans really dividing our nation," Harris, in a joint interview with her running mate Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, told CNN. "And I think people are ready to turn the page on that," Harris, the Democratic Party's candidate, said. "The American people are ready for a new way forward. Our former president has pushed an agenda that diminishes

In first sit-down interview, Kamala Harris says 'my values not changed'

Vice President Kamala Harris has said my values have not changed, as she was questioned along with her running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, in their first major television interview of their presidential campaign. The interview with CNN's Dana Bash on Thursday gives Harris a chance to quell criticism that she has eschewed uncontrolled environments, while also giving her a fresh platform to define her campaign and test her political mettle ahead of an upcoming debate with former President Donald Trump set for Sept 10. But it also carries risk as her team tries to build on momentum from the ticket shakeup following Joe Biden's exit and last week's Democratic National Convention. The full CNN interview is set to air at 9 pm EDT. It was taped at 1:45 pm at Kim's Cafe, a local Black-owned restaurant in Savannah, Georgia, and excerpts were released Thursday afternoon. Harris was asked about changes in her policies over the years, specifically her reversals on fracking and ...

Harris not backing from Biden's democracy focus, but putting her spin on it

Before dropping his bid for reelection, President Joe Biden framed voters' choice in November in dark and ominous terms, painting Republican nominee Donald Trump as a menace to American democracy and questioning whether the country could survive if he won. The Democratic Party's new nominee, Vice President Kamala Harris, isn't exactly shrinking from that message, warning in her Thursday night acceptance speech of extremely serious consequences of Trump returning to the White House. But Harris is putting her own spin on what has been a central messaging strategy for Democrats. Rather than focusing on the existential threat a second Trump term could pose to the country's foundational institutions and traditions, she is expanding Democrats' definition of what's at stake in this election: It's about preserving personal freedoms. The fresh frame was on full display this week at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, where attendees wrote their own definitions of freedom on handma

Will ensure America always has strongest, lethal fighting force: Harris

Kamala Harris has said that, if elected the commander-in-chief of the US, she will ensure that the country always has the strongest and most lethal fighting force in the world, Israel has the ability to defend itself and Ukraine and NATO allies are not abandoned. Harris, 59, made these remarks as she formally accepted the Democratic Party's presidential nomination to take on Republican rival and former president Donald Trump in the November 5 election. In her address to the Democratic National Convention here on Thursday, she said that she would never hesitate to take whatever action is necessary to defend American forces and the country's interests against Iran and Iran-backed terrorists. "And I will not cosy up to tyrants and dictators like Kim-Jong-Un, who are rooting for Trump. Because they know he is easy to manipulate with flattery and favours. They know Trump won't hold autocrats accountablebecause he wants to be an autocrat,' Harris said. "As President, I will never waver i

Harris, 59, is the first ever Indian-American and Black woman to be nominated as presidential candidate of the either Democratic or Republican parties.

I know there are people of various political views watching tonight. And I want you to know: I promise to be a president for all Americans...,' she said.

Top Democratic leaders attack Trump, say his policies will divide America

Top Democratic leaders have hammered Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump for being an agent of chaos and that his failed policies would take America backwards. Democrats used their national convention in Chicago on Wednesday to cast the former president as an existential danger and project Vice President Kamala Harris as the best person to lead the nation. Harris, 59, will take on former president Trump, 78, in the November 5 election. Former president Bill Clinton in his address to the Democratic National Convention said Trump - a paragon of consistency - is dividing, blaming, and belittling. He creates and curates chaos. It's showmanship, but it's not leadership, he said. On the other hand, he said Harris is the only candidate in this race with the vision, the experience, the temperament and the will. Now, how does Donald Trump use his voice? Mostly to talk about himself, his vengeance, vendettas, complaints, and conspiracies. The next time you hear him, don't count t

Harris receives support from top Democratic leaders in bid to White House

Kamala Harris has received unprecedented support from three top leaders of the party -- former president Bill Clinton, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi -- in her bid to break the last glass ceiling of the United States. All three leaders, who have nationwide appeal, in prime-time speeches on Wednesday described Harris as the best individual who can lead the country right now. Clinton said Harris is the only candidate in this race with the vision, the experience, the temperament and the will. "And yes - the sheer joy - to do that on good and bad days. To be our voice, said Clinton in his address to the Democratic National Convention here. Harris, 59, is scheduled to formally accept the Democratic Party's presidential nomination on Thursday to take on Republican rival Donald Trump, 78, in the November 5 election. If elected, Harris, who is of Indian and African heritage, would break one of the highest glass ceilings left for women in the ..
