Want to make America hate again: Far-right group Far Boys' founder

Bitcoin briefly climbed above $70,000 as investors braced themselves for MicroStrategy earnings and counted the days to the US presidential election according to a detailed report by CNBC.

The CNBC report further explained that, the price of bitcoin was last higher by about 3 per cent at $69,925.00, according to Coin Metrics. Further, at about 6:00 p.m. Eastern on October 28, it touched $70,207.02 and has been oscillating since.

Stocks tied to the price of the cryptocurrency were little changed in extended trading. In regular trading on October 28, crypto exchange platform Coinbase rallied by 5 per cent and bitcoin proxy MicroStrategy soared by nearly 9 per cent.

The last time bitcoin touched $70,000 was in June of this year. It has tested that level several times this year, after hitting a record of $73,797.68 in March. Earlier forays above $70,000 have been limited to mere blips.

Optimism is building ahead of the US presidential election next week. Bitcoin has been confined to a tight range between $55,000 and $70,000.

Still, it may be poised for a breakout with stocks hitting new highs this month. As there are major events to follow in the first week of November, election day on November 5 and another Federal Reserve rate policy decision on November 7.

Republican nominee and former president Donald Trump has been courting the crypto industry this year and presented himself as the pro-crypto candidate. Whereas democratic nominee and Vice President Kamala Harris have been more muted on crypto, and the industry is split on how her potential presidency could affect crypto companies.

The outcome is widely viewed as a key catalyst for future price action in the bitcoin, but investors have watching and waiting as the election approaches. Last week, bitcoin surged toward $70,000, but it ultimately fell short of the threshold.

Investors are also watching for earnings from Coinbase and MicroStrategy, both slated for October 30. On October 28, MicroStrategy, which trades as a high-beta play on the price of bitcoin, registered its highest close since March 15, 2000. MicroStrategy is looking to extend its seven-week win streak, its longest since rally since an 11-week streak that ended in late October 2010.

U.S. Elections: Kamala Harris and Donald Trump Deliver Final Appeals To Voters

Billionaire Elon Musk attended Donald Trump’s important rally in Manhattan with his 4-year-old son, who wore a custom red hat with the slogan “Make Voting Great Again,” a play on Trump’s well-known phrase "Make America Great Again".

The Tesla CEO arrived at Madison Square Garden in New York on Sunday (Oct 27), accompanied by his mother, Maye Musk, and his son, X Æ A-Xii, who was seen holding a Trump Vance sign featuring his father’s name.

At the event were several notable figures, including Trump’s running mate JD Vance, Trump’s wife Melania, his sons Donald Jr. and Eric, wrestler Hulk Hogan, and TV personality Dr. Phil. Also present were members of Trump’s presidential transition team, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard, alongside Musk.

X Æ A-Xii, born on 4 May 2020, is Musk’s son with singer Grimes. Musk, wearing his own black MAGA hat, held his son before taking to the stage, standing next to former First Lady Melania Trump.

As Donald Trump and Kamala Harris fight in the race for the White House, one key term is back in the limelight: the US Electoral College.

The US president is elected on the basis of two, not one, elections: the popular votes, followed by electoral college votes.

This is a unique form of proportionate voting which could be confusing to people in other countries.

Here is what you should know about the Electoral College.

Simply put, the Electoral College is a group of electors chosen to represent the election choices of each American state.

Based on population data derived from the Census, each state is allocated a specific number of electoral college votes that adds up to 538 (see list below).

<h2>Why was the Electoral College established in the US?</h2>

The Electoral College system was established in view of the possibility that, considering the different population sizes of each state, the popular vote could be skewed in favour of one winner.

For instance, whoever wins California could take the White House, as it has the largest population. This would not be a proportionate mandate that takes into account the wishes of the people of all states.&nbsp;

In order to solve this, the Founding Fathers of the US introduced the Electoral College as a compromise between congressional selection and direct popular vote.

The Electoral College consists of 538 votes. Whoever gets a total of 270 or more electoral college votes wins the election.

The electors' numbers in each state are proportionate to how many members of Congress it sends. One electoral college vote is equal to one house seat plus two senate seats.

The District of Columbia, which is not a state, has three electors. This exemption was given under the 23rd Amendment of the Constitution, which treats the District of Columbia as a state for electoral college purposes.

<h2>How are Electoral College electors chosen?</h2>

In the general elections, voters are actually choosing their preferred electors rather than directly voting for the presidential candidates.

In most states, the 'winner-takes-all' system is used, meaning all electoral votes for these states go to the candidate who has won the popular vote there.

The states of Maine and Nebraska, however, use a proportionate&nbsp;method.

<h2>How electoral votes are recorded and announced</h2>

Once the general election is over on 5th November, the state officials will prepare a Certificate of Ascertainment listing the electors and their votes, which is sent to the National Archives and Records Administration or NARA.&nbsp;

These electors will meet on the first Tuesday after the second Wednesday in December to cast their votes for president and vice president.&nbsp;

Their votes are then recorded and sent to Congress, which counts them on January 6 at a joint session presided over by the incumbent vice president.&nbsp;

The announcement of the electoral college by the Congress will follow.

This is the formal declaration of the president-elect and vice president-elect, ending the US presidential election process.

The new president will the oath of office on January 20.

<h2>The Electoral College in numbers: States and votes</h2>

As already mentioned, there are a total of 538 electoral votes, and the majority mark, or the magic number, is 270.

US Presidential Elections: Donald Trump, Kamala Harris Make Final Push For Victory

In a recent three-hour interview on Joe Rogan’s influential podcast, former US President Donald Trump reiterated his controversial proposal to eliminate income taxes in favour of tariffs as detailed in a report by CNBC. When Rogan directly questioned him about the feasibility of such a plan, Trump replied, “Yeah, sure, but why not?” 

Trump emphasised that his administration would prioritize protecting American jobs and industries, stating, “We will not allow the enemy to come in and take our jobs... unless they pay a big price. And the big price is tariffs.” This approach forms a core element of Trump’s economic strategy as he campaigns for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination.

Possibility of a $2 trillion loss over a decade<o:p></o:p>

Among his proposed tax reforms, Trump suggests removing income taxes on tips, overtime pay, and Social Security benefits, along with reinstating his 2017 tax cuts, which are set to expire in 2025. He has also mentioned potential income tax exemptions for specific groups, including fire-fighters, police officers, military personnel, and veterans. However, estimates indicate that eliminating income taxes on these categories could result in a staggering $2 trillion loss over a decade, according to the Tax Foundation, a nonpartisan think tank.

The proposal is a 20% tariff on imports

To counterbalance these projected losses, Trump proposes implementing a 20 per cent tariff on imports from all countries, with higher rates specifically for Chinese goods. Nonetheless, economic analysts expressed doubts about the viability of this strategy. Garrett Watson, a senior policy analyst at the Tax Foundation, pointed out that even the most aggressive tariff increases would not generate sufficient revenue to compensate for the substantial income tax losses. He noted that while tariffs might bring in approximately $3.8 trillion over ten years, individual income taxes are expected to yield around $33 trillion in the same timeframe.

The broader implication of Trump’s tax plan, which includes these tariffs, could lead to an expansion of the federal deficit by $3 trillion over the next decade, according to Watson. Additionally, the burden of tariffs would primarily fall on the US importers, potentially driving up production costs and consumer prices, an issue particularly concerning as inflation appears to be stabilising now due to the policies of the US Federal Reserve.

Vice President Kamala Harris has criticised Trump’s approach, characterizing it as a “sales tax on the American people” and arguing that it disproportionately affects low-income individuals. In response to these accusations, Trump defended his proposal on social media, claiming that tariffs are “paid for by the abusing country.” However, critics have pointed out that such taxes ultimately burden US consumers.

As Trump continues to advocate for his tariff-centric tax overhaul, the debate over its economic implications intensifies, with analysts and opponents urging caution about its potential impact on middle-class Americans.

Donald Trump advocates tariff-driven tax overhaul

American daily newspaper The Los Angeles Times would not be endorsing Vice President and Democratic candidate Kamala Harris for the November 5 presidential election in the United States (US).

American daily newspaper The Los Angeles Times would not be endorsing Vice President and Democratic candidate Kamala Harris for the November 5 presidential election in the United States (US). According to reports on Sunday (Oct 27), LA Times owner Patrick Soon-Shiong had vetoed the planned endorsement, informing board members through an intermediary that the newspaper would not make a recommendation in the presidential race between Harris and Republican candidate and former president Donald Trump. Also read | Chinese hackers allegedly intercept calls, texts of Trump, Harris campaigns ahead of 2024 US election Following the decision, thousands of LA Times readers cancelled their subscriptions to the newspaper, and three members of the editorial board resigned, a report by The New York Times (NYT) said. What was the motivation for the decision? Patrick's daughter Nika revealed the reason why the newspaper refused to endorse Harris. Nika, 31, said the decision was motivated by Kamala Harris' continued support for Israel amid the Israel-Hamas war in the Gaza Strip. Nika is a far-left political activist who displays a Palestinian flag on her profile on the social media platform X. In a series of posts on X, Nika said last Friday (Oct 25), "There is a lot of controversy and confusion over the LAT’s decision not to endorse a presidential candidate. I trust the Editorial Board’s judgment. For me, genocide is the line in the sand." As Mandela said: “The temptation is to speak in muffled tones about the rights of the people of Palestine. Having achieved our own freedom, we can fall into the trap of washing our hands of difficulties that others face. Yet we would be less than human if we did so.” pic.twitter.com/SdAAFpI2io — Nika Soon-Shiong 🇵🇸 (@nikasoonshiong) October 25, 2024 × "The temptation is to speak in muffled tones about an issue the international courts have called a plausible genocide. But this moment requires opposition to crimes against humanity, ethnic cleansing, and Apartheid – as my parents did in South Africa," she added. A report by the Daily Mail on Sunday said that Nika has no formal role at the newspaper, and has been previously accused of having undue influence at the organisation. 'This is not a vote for Donald Trump' Nika also said in her series of posts on X that the LA Times' decision not to endorse Harris did not mean that the newspaper was backing Trump.

US election: LA Times owner blocks newspaper from endorsing Kamala Harris. Here's why

Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris and Republican nominee Donald Trump are currently in a nail-biting race as the&nbsp;election day in the&nbsp;United States nears. However, the Democrats have reportedly been expressing fear about Harris'&nbsp;victory, whereas Republicans feel confident about Trump.&nbsp;

However, polls suggest that both candidates have a near-equal chance of entering the White House.&nbsp;

The Guardian's 10-day polling tracking average shows that Harris has been maintaining the single-point advantage over her Republican rival she had a week earlier, 47 per cent to 46 per cent.&nbsp;

According to the poll averages, Vice President Harris is leading by a single point in Michigan and by less than one per cent in Pennsylvania, Georgia, Wisconsin and Nevada.&nbsp;

Meanwhile, Trump has been leading with two points in North Carolina and with one point in Arizona.&nbsp;

Even though Harris has been warning that Trump represents fascism and dictatorship-in-waiting, her Democrats&nbsp;have been nervous recently.&nbsp;

"A growing number of top Democrats tell us privately they feel Vice-President Kamala Harris will lose – even though polls show a coin-toss finish 11 days from now," Axios founders, Mike Allen and Jim VandeHei wrote in their&nbsp;newspaper on Friday (Oct 25).&nbsp;

They also noted how the "top Democrats are already starting to point fingers at who'd be more responsible for a Harris loss — President Biden for dragging his feet, or Harris herself. 'Going down?'&nbsp;a top Democratic official texted," according to the Axios story.

Meanwhile, the Trump campaign looks "shockingly confident", talking in "granular detail" about White House posts and policy playbooks for next year.&nbsp;

Moreover, Trump who is 78, has been rated "too old" by more than half of the voters, 51 per cent compared with just five per cent who said the same of Harris.&nbsp;

According to the EAC, poll workers are critical to the success of an election. "Having an adequate number of poll workers to staff polling places on and before Election Day can ensure voters receive the assistance they need at the polls and can help provide a positive and smooth voting experience for all," the commission says. What are the duties of a poll worker? The EAC says that while specific duties and compensation vary depending on location, poll workers are the face of the election office during voting. "Most jurisdictions task election workers with setting up and preparing the polling location, welcoming voters, verifying voter registrations, and issuing ballots," according to the commission's website. Poll workers are also responsible for helping ensure voters understand the voting process by demonstrating how to use voting equipment and explaining voting procedures. How to become a poll worker?

US presidential election 2024: What ID should you bring on polling day? A look at the guidelines

The influential Washington Post newspaper, owned by Amazon billionaire Jeff Bezos, announced Friday it will endorse neither Democrat Kamala Harris nor Republican Donald Trump in the US presidential election.

CEO William Lewis said this was a return "to our roots of not endorsing presidential candidates."

However, the Post editorial board has endorsed candidates for much of the last four decades -- all of them Democrats -- before deciding to stay on the sidelines in one of the most polarizing elections in US history.

Newspaper editorials have little of their once-powerful political heft. But the Post -- whose slogan is "Democracy dies in darkness" -- is one traditional media outlet that retains influence among Washington's elite.

Trump's campaign quickly pounced, crowing that "Harris is so bad, The Washington Post decided to never endorse another presidential candidate again."

The Washington Post Guild, which represents unionized staff at the newspaper, said it was "deeply concerned."

"We are already seeing cancellations from once loyal readers," a statement said.

US media reported that a senior Post figure, editor at large Robert Kagan, had resigned in protest.

<h2>- Billionaire owners -</h2>

The Post's decision follows a similar move by another of the big remaining US newspapers, the Los Angeles Times.

The billionaire owner of the Times blocked the editorial board from issuing an endorsement for Harris, according to editorial editor Mariel Garza, who resigned in response on Wednesday.

According to a report by The Washington Post on its website, Bezos likewise intervened to block the board from publishing its editorial in favor of Harris. However, a source close to the Post's leadership told AFP that this "is inaccurate."

By contrast, The New York Times endorsed Harris in September, calling her "the only patriotic choice for president" and warning that "it is hard to imagine a candidate more unworthy to serve as president of the United States" than Trump.

On Friday, Harris also scored the backing of The Philadelphia Inquirer, the biggest newspaper in swing state Pennsylvania, which declared that "voters face an easy but tectonic choice."

The Republican got his own boost Friday from the New York Post, the Rupert Murdoch-owned tabloid, which declared that "America is ready for today's heroic Donald Trump to reclaim the presidency."

<h2>- 'Cowardice'? -</h2>

In a statement, The Washington Post's Lewis wrote that the paper would not make presidential endorsements again.

"Our job at The Washington Post is to provide through the newsroom non-partisan news for all Americans, and thought-provoking, reported views from our opinion team to help our readers make up their own minds," he said.

The Post has been endorsing Democratic candidates consistently as far back as the 1980s, always making clear that the editorial board works separately to the newsgathering operation -- as is typical in US news organizations.

The Post's former executive editor, Marty Baron, lashed out at the daily's "cowardice, with democracy as its casualty."

Baron said that Trump would see the decision "as an invitation to further intimidate" Bezos.

Washington Post says will not endorse Harris or Trump in election

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, during his interview with Joe Rogan&nbsp;on Friday (Oct 25), said that he is completely committed to bringing Robert F&nbsp;Kennedy Jr, into his administration if he wins the United States presidential election on November 5 and returns&nbsp;to the White House.

Trump sat for a three-hour interview in Austin, Texas on Friday, which was then published to Rogan's social media channels.&nbsp;

Robert F&nbsp;Kennedy Jr&nbsp;was the former independent presidential nominee, who later suspended his bid and endorsed the former US president.&nbsp;

The podcaster asked the former president whether he was "completely committed" to bringing Kennedy Jr, into his administration.

"Oh, I completely am," Trump responded. "But the only thing I want to be a little careful about with him is the environmental. Because he doesn't like oil, I love oil and gas."

Trump added that he would like Kennedy to "focus on health, do whatever you want."

He said that he had been pressured not to work with Kennedy Jr, citing "big Pharma" as one of the examples.&nbsp;

Kennedy Jr has been involved in spreading scepticism about vaccines, rejecting the overwhelming consensus among scientists that the benefits of vaccinations outweigh the rare risk of side effects.

He further claimed pharmaceutical companies conspire to prevent health improvements because they make so much money selling drugs to people with chronic illnesses.

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump on Saturday (Oct 26) said that he would open up the files on the assassinations of former United States president John F&nbsp;Kennedy and civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr&nbsp;if he gets elected next month.&nbsp;

Trump appeared on The Joe Rogan Experience, where he said that he was asked "by a lot of reasonable people" not to open the Kennedy files but he will open them upon returning to the White House.

"I opened them up partially. I met with good people. I mean, you know, look, I've met with good people, people that were well-meaning. Mike Pompeo was one of them. He's a good person. They called me. They said, 'Sir, would rather have you not' and I did open them, but I was asked by some people not to open them," Trump said referring to the Kennedy files.

The presidential election in the United States (US) is just a few days away. The top contenders in the November 5 election are Donald Trump (Republican Party) and Kamala Harris (Democratic Party).

The presidential election in the United States (US) is just a few days away. The top contenders in the November 5 election are Donald Trump (Republican Party) and Kamala Harris (Democratic Party). Voters across the country are gearing up to vote for their preferred candidate who will lead the country for the next four years. Millions of voters have already cast their ballot early, both by mail and in person. In the run-up to election day, a question arises- can American citizens who do not have a permanent address be allowed to vote? Here is what the government says: 'You don't need a home to vote' According to vote.gov, American citizens do not require a home or a permanent address to cast their vote in elections. "If you are a homeless service provider, the United States Interagency Council on Homelessness has more resources for helping people vote," the website states. There are certain things to keep in mind while voting: > Each state and territory has its own voter ID (identification) rules. You may not need an ID to register to vote, but in most states, you must bring identification to vote in person. > In case you do not have an ID, you can get it at your state motor vehicle office, even if you do not drive. You may need to pay to get an ID card, but some organisations may be able to help you pay the ID fee. Some states also offer ID cards for free or at a reduced cost for unhoused people. Also read | Michigan US Presidential Election 2024: Voting, Result info, Candidates and all you need to know > You need to provide a mailing address so your state can send you important voting information by mail. The mailing address does not have to be a fixed home address. If you do not have a fixed home address to get mail, you can use a different address as your mailing address. > According to the government, some examples of a mailing address are- a nearby shelter if you don't live there, a nearby religious centre, and the home address of a family member who lives nearby. > If you're homeless or do not have a permanent address, you can use a description of the place where you live or sleep as your home address, such as a park or the intersections of street corners. > However, this description cannot be used as your mailing address. What happens if you move after you register to vote? If you move after you have registered to vote, make sure to call or visit your local election office to update both your home and mailing address. Many states allow you to update your address on your state’s election website. You can also call or visit your local election office to update your address. After you update your address, you can vote in elections in your new location, the government says. In some states, you must live at your address for a certain number of days before you can register to vote there.

US presidential election 2024: Can you vote in polls without a permanent address?

In a move to attract young voters of the US, the Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump appeared on a nearly three-hour-long podcast of star podcaster Joe Rogan on Friday (Oct 25) where he shared his views on election polls, income tax and life on Mars.&nbsp;

<h2>Democrats 'cheat' in 2020 election</h2>

Giving Trump an opportunity to repeat his claims of election fraud in 2020, Rogan said, "I want to talk about 2020 because you said over and over again that you were robbed in 2020. How do you think you were robbed?"

In response, Trump said that the judges "did not have what it took to turn over an election. The former US president was seen repeating his claims that mail-in ballots were not safe and the Democrats used the global pandemic to "cheat" in 2020 US elections.&nbsp;

Rogan compared Trump's questioning of the 2020 election with COVID-19 as the American podcaster said that Trump gets "labelled" an election denier just like a person gets labelled as an anti-vaxxer after raising questions about the drawbacks of the COVID-19 vaccine.&nbsp;

<h2>Tariffs replacing income tax</h2>

Trump also shared his support to remove federal income tax as Rogan asked if he was serious about replacing income taxes with tariffs to which the Republican said, "Why not?"&nbsp;

Trump's economic policies have been highly criticised by various economists with most of them saying his economic policies will cost around $15 trillion to the US and will lead the country towards the federal deficit.&nbsp;

<h2>Is there life on Mars?&nbsp;</h2>

In addition to his claims on election fraud,&nbsp;Trump also shared his distrust on election polls.&nbsp;

"You know how polls are done?" Trump asked Rogan as the Republican said, "Oh, I’m going to get myself in trouble. So I don’t believe too much in them.”

Apart from discussing his political views, Trump tried impressing the young audience, especially males, of Rogan's podcast as he shared his thoughts on the idea of life on Mars.&nbsp;

Trump said he had "never been a believer" in extraterrestrial life but after listening to Rogan's interviews with jet pilots who claimed seeing "strange things" in the sky, he can't deny it.&nbsp;

"There’s no reason not to think that Mars and all these planets don’t have life,” she said.&nbsp;

<h2>Rogan's 'changed' views on trump&nbsp;</h2>

Joe Rogan has more than 14.5 million followers on Spotify and 17.6 million on YouTube with many of them being low-propensity voters. Trump's campaign tried drawing them to the polls via this podcast.&nbsp;

Just two years ago in 2022, Rogan had refused to invite&nbsp;Trump on his podcast saying the former president is a "threat to democracy."&nbsp;

But, Rogan claimed, after watching Trump's assassination attempt in Pennsylvania, he rethought his decision.&nbsp;

“Once they shot you, I was like, ‘He’s got to come in here,’” Rogan said.&nbsp;

From election fraud to life on Mars, key takeaways from Joe Rogan's podcast with Trump

The Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump turned to Joe Rogan to gain votes as the former United States president asked the American podcaster to endorse him for the November election.&nbsp;

Trump told Rogan that he "cannot vote for Kamala Harris."

After delaying his&nbsp;rally in the US state of&nbsp;Michigan&nbsp;and leaving supporters waiting for him in the cold, Trump joined Rogan for a three-hour-long podcast to attract young voters.&nbsp;

The Republican boasted that the billionaire and Tesla CEO Elon Musk endorsed him so he should too.&nbsp;

“He gave me the nicest endorsement. You should do the same thing, Joe, because you cannot be voting for Kamala,” the former president said.&nbsp;

Referring to the Russian martial artist Khabib Abdulmanapovich Nurmagomedov, Trump said, "I’ve been watching you for years. You’re definitely not a Kamala person. You’re a Khabib person—not a Kamala person."

Trump's interview&nbsp;with Rogan came just two years after the American podcaster strictly turned down an invitation to invite the former president on his show calling the Republican&nbsp;an "existential threat to democracy." 
&nbsp; 
Trump, once again, did not miss the chance to talk about his failed assassination attempt in July to gain votes as he called being US president "a dangerous business."

“I understand what I’m doing. You make yourself a target, and it’s a very dangerous business. I never thought of that when I took on the role," he said.&nbsp;

<h2>What was discussed in the podcast?</h2>

From repeating his claims that 2020 was rigged&nbsp;to the conspiracies that there is life on Mars, Trump discussed numerous issues on Rogan's podcast.

The former president also highlighted his economic policies, which have been termed as "dangerous" for the US by Nobel Prize-winning economists. He confirmed that he will replace federal income taxes with tariffs if re-elected in November. Trump said he "didn't just float the idea but actually serious about it."

You should do the same thing, Joe, because you cannot be voting for Kamala,” the former president said. Referring to the Russian martial artist Khabib Abdulmanapovich Nurmagomedov, Trump said, "I’ve been watching you for years. You’re definitely not a Kamala person. You’re a Khabib person—not a Kamala person." Trump's interview with Rogan came just two years after the American podcaster strictly turned down an invitation to invite the former president on his show calling the Republican an "existential threat to democracy." Trump, once again, did not miss the chance to talk about his failed assassination attempt in July to gain votes as he called being US president "a dangerous business." “I understand what I’m doing. You make yourself a target, and it’s a very dangerous business. I never thought of that when I took on the role," he said. What was discussed in the podcast? From repeating his claims that 2020 was rigged to the conspiracies that there is life on Mars, Trump discussed numerous issues on Rogan's podcast.

Trump Enters World's 500 Richest List For First Time In 11 Weeks

Vice President Kamala Harris campaigned in Atlanta, Georgia, alongside former President Barack Obama as she made a final push to win over voters, with only two weeks left until Election Day. The event featured a musical performance by Bruce Springsteen and a guest appearance from filmmaker Tyler Perry.

The event attracted several high-profile attendees, including director Spike Lee, media mogul Tyler Perry, and renowned actor Samuel L. Jackson.

During the rally, Springsteen expressed concerns shared by Democrats and some former Trump administration officials, saying, "Donald Trump is running to be an American tyrant." The singer, famous for his socially aware, working-class anthems, performed three songs, including “The Promised Land,” adding to Harris’s appeal to blue-collar voters.

Harris is enlisting the support of well-known celebrities in key states to gain an edge over her opponent, Donald Trump. Reports suggest she will appear with Beyoncé in Texas later this week, part of a series of events in battleground regions.

At the Atlanta event, Harris encouraged Georgia voters to make their voices heard. Georgia, which turned blue for the first time since 1992 four years ago, also shifted control of the US&nbsp;Senate to the Democrats. She warned of “brutally serious” consequences if Trump were to win the presidency again, adding, “Someone who says we should terminate the Constitution of the United States of America should never again stand behind the seal of the president of the United States of America. Never again.”

Harris made a special appeal to young voters, emphasising the need for new, hopeful leadership. “There is an overwhelming call for a fresh start, for a new generation of leadership that is optimistic and excited about what we can do together,” Harris said.

"There is a yearning for a president of the United States who will see you, who gets you and who will fight for you,” she added.&nbsp;

Obama spoke to the crowd, acknowledging that many people desire change but argued that Trump was not the candidate who would deliver positive change. “I get why people are looking to shake things up,” he said, referring to his own 2008 campaign slogan. “But what I cannot understand is why anybody would think that Donald Trump would shake things up in ways that are good for you, he added.”

"We do not need four years of a wannabe king, a wannabe dictator, running around trying to punish his enemies," Obama said.

Democrats anxious about Kamala Harris' path to victory in US elections

United States former president and Republican&nbsp;presidential&nbsp;nominee Donald Trump is facing fresh accusations of groping a former model in the presence of late sexual abuser&nbsp;Jeffrey Epstein in Trump Tower in 1993.&nbsp;

Stacey Williams was a professional model in the 1990s and had for the first time been introduced to Trump by Epstein at a Christmas party in 1992.

Williams claimed that she had casually dated Epstein for some months and had found that "he and Donald were really, really good friends and spent a lot of time together."

Speaking about the groping incident to The Guardian, Williams said that in 1993, Epstein took her to Trump Tower where she faced the alleged sexual misconduct.&nbsp;

The former model said that moments after she entered the Trump Tower, the former president pulled her towards him and began groping her. Williams said that Trump placed his hands “all over my breasts” along with her waist and her buttocks.&nbsp;

Williams said at that moment she froze as she was “deeply confused” and further alleged that she saw Trump and Epstein smiling at each other.

Reacting to the allegations, press secretary for Donald Trump’s campaign Karoline Leavitt said, “These accusations, made by a former activist for Barack Obama and announced on a Harris campaign call two weeks before the election, are unequivocally false. It’s obvious this fake story was contrived by the Harris campaign.”

<h2>Felt like a piece of meat in a “twisted game”, says Williams&nbsp;</h2>

Williams said that after the alleged incident she immediately left the Trump Tower and felt angry towards Epstein.&nbsp;

“Jeffrey and I left and he didn’t look at me or speak to me and I felt this seething rage around me, and when we got down to the sidewalk, he looked at me and just berated me, and said: ‘Why did you let him do that?’” Williams said on the Zoom call.

“He made me feel so disgusting and I remember being so utterly confused,” she added, further saying that she felt she was part of a “twisted game”.

“I felt shame and disgust and as we went our separate ways, I felt this sensation of revisiting it, while the hands were all over me. And I had this horrible pit in my stomach that it was somehow orchestrated. I felt like a piece of meat,” the former model said while speaking to the Guardian.

Later, Epstein was convicted of multiple sex offences and ended up taking his own life in prison&nbsp;in 2019.

Black Males in US Edge Over Trump as Obama Loses Cool

Russian President Vladimir Putin said Thursday his relationship with the United States after the presidential elections would depend on what attitude Washington adopts, as he welcomed comments by Donald Trump on his desire to end the Ukraine conflict as "sincere".

But the Kremlin leader struck a hardline tone, warning the West it was an "illusion" to think Russia could be defeated on the battlefield and that any peace deal would have to recognise Russia's control of swathes of Ukrainian territory.

Putin was speaking at the end of the BRICS summit in the city of Kazan, where he had faced calls from some of Russia's most important allies for the fighting in Ukraine to end.

"How Russian-American relations will develop after the election will depend on the United States. If they are open, then we will also be open. And if they don't want it, then fine," Putin told reporters in Kazan.

Relations between the two superpowers have sunk to their lowest since the Cold War amid Moscow's military offensive on Ukraine.

Next month's US election is set to be critical in the course of future ties and the conflict in Ukraine.

Trump has repeatedly expressed skepticism over Washington's multi-billion dollar aid to Ukraine and claimed that if elected he could end the fighting in a matter of hours.

Putin said Trump "spoke about his desire to do everything to end the conflict in Ukraine. I think he is being sincere. Of course, we welcome statements like this, whoever they come from."

<h2>'Realities on the ground'&nbsp;</h2>

Chinese President Xi Jinping and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi were among around 20 leaders who gathered for the BRICS summit, the largest diplomatic event in Russia since Putin ordered troops into Ukraine in February 2022.

The Kremlin leader said Moscow was open to considering peace initiatives and welcomed BRICS leaders offering to mediate.

But he said any deal must consider the "realities on the ground" -- a reference to Ukrainian territory controlled by Russian forces.

"We are ready to look at any proposals for peace negotiations that are based on the realities on the ground. We won't accept anything else," he said.

Putin has previously demanded Kyiv effectively capitulate by pulling its troops back as a precondition to ceasefire talks.

And on Thursday he blasted the West for thinking Russia could be defeated on the battlefield.

Moscow's opponents "do not conceal their aim to deal our country a strategic defeat", he said. &nbsp;&nbsp;

"I will say directly that these are illusionary calculations, that can be made only by those who do not know Russia's history."&nbsp;

Russia has faced fresh accusations of escalating the conflict this week with the United States, South Korea, NATO and Kyiv all saying North Korea had deployed troops to Russia.

Kyiv said Thursday it had intelligence the soldiers had already been deployed to Russia's western Kursk region, where Ukraine is mounting a cross-border offensive.

Putin refused to confirm or deny the reports on Thursday, instead accusing Ukraine and the West of aggravating the conflict.

<h2>Middle East&nbsp;</h2>

Putin will later sit down for talks with United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres in the pair's first meeting since April 2022.

The UN chief had pleaded earlier for a "just peace" in Ukraine in a speech delivered in front of Putin.

"We need peace in Ukraine. A just peace in line with the UN Charter, international law, and (UN) General Assembly resolution," Guterres told the summit.&nbsp;

Ukraine has strongly criticised Guterres's decision to meet the "criminal Putin".

Guterres also demanded an "immediate ceasefire" in Gaza, the release of hostages, and an "immediate cessation of hostilities" in Lebanon.

Other world leaders at the summit also called for an end to Israel's wars in Lebanon and Gaza, with Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas saying Israel was trying to starve Gazan civilians and drive them from their territory.&nbsp;

Xi warned about "serious challenges" in the world and said he hoped BRICS countries could be a "stabilising force for peace".

"We need to continue to push for a ceasefire in Gaza, relaunch the two-state solution and stop the spread of war in Lebanon. There should be no more suffering and destruction in Palestine and Lebanon," Xi said.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian slammed the UN Security Council's role in front of Guterres, saying international bodies "lack the necessary efficiency to extinguish the fire of this crisis".

BRICS Summit: Putin says ball in US court on Russian-American relations

Mayor Shawn Reilly of Waukesha, Wisconsin county, who was a Republican for most of his life, has now said that he will be endorsing Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris for president.

Speaking in an interview on Wednesday (Oct 23), Reilly said he does not want Donald Trump to return to the White House.&nbsp;

Wisconsin is the most populous Republican-voting county in the state that is viewed as crucial to Harris’s hopes of winning the US Presidential elections.&nbsp;

Reilly, 63, said that he had never endorsed a Democrat before, adding that this election is different.&nbsp;

“It’s very easy to not even stick your nose in this — that’s the easiest way to go about it,” he said. “But the reason I’m doing it is because I think we’re at a crossroads. I’m very afraid of the direction our country will head in if Donald Trump becomes president. I think we’ll be heading down a road of authoritarianism and fascism.”

“It is a vote against Trump,” he said. “I am terrified of Donald Trump becoming our next president for all the reasons I have indicated: he’s already been impeached twice. He’s been convicted of felonies and this is not what the United States needs.”

Moreover, Fred Upton, a Republican former congressman, also endorsed Kamala Harris, the Detroit News reported. He has been representing a western Michigan district for 36 years.&nbsp;

He was one of 10 Republicans to vote for Donald Trump’s impeachment after January 6, however, he said he had voted Democratic in a presidential election for the first time in his life because he is turned off by the former president’s extremism and believes Harris will be more successful at governing with bipartisan support.

“Watching Trump day after day, he’s ignored the advice of many senior, respected Republicans to stay on the issues,” Upton said in an interview with the Detroit News.

“Instead, he’s still talking about the election being stolen, trashing women left and right. He’s just totally unhinged. We don’t need this chaos. We need to move forward, and that’s why I’m where I am.”
