The United States Postal Service is popularly known for delivering mail despite snow, rain or heat, but it faces a new foe in President Donald Trump.

Ahead of the November 3 elections in which millions of voters are expected to cast ballots by mail due to the coronavirus, Trump has leveled an unprecedented attack at the USPS, opposing efforts to give the cash-strapped agency more money even as changes there have caused widespread delays in delivering letters and packages.

"They need that money in order to have the post office work so it can take all of these millions and millions of ballots," Trump told Fox News on Thursday, calling the money "fraudulent."

"But if they don't get those... that means you can't have universal mail-in voting."

<a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/us-house-speaker-considering-recalling-congress-over-post-office-woes-320879">Also read:&nbsp;US House Speaker considering recalling Congress over Post Office woes</a>

On Saturday, Trump continued his assault on mail-in voting by telling reporters it would be a "catastrophe" and retweeting articles and comments alleging fraud.

The Democratic opposition has sharply condemned Trump's statements, with some lawmakers claiming that the president is plotting to snarl the post office to undermine voting, create uncertainty and win a second term.

"Pure Trump. He doesn't want an election," said Democratic challenger Joe Biden.

Biden's running mate, Senator Kamala Harris, tweeted: "We cannot let Donald Trump destroy the United States Postal Service."

Trump, asked by a reporter Saturday if he was trying to hobble the USPS, replied: "No, not at all."

But the concerns are unlikely to disappear.

Reflecting the escalating nature of the controversy, former president Barack Obama has also weighed in.

"What we've never seen before is a president say, 'I'm going to try to actively kneecap the Postal Service ... and I will be explicit about the reason I'm doing it,'" Obama said in a podcast with a former aide.

On Saturday, protesters gathered at the Washington home of Postmaster General Louis DeJoy, blaring horns and banging pots in anger.

USPS spokesman David Partenheimer attributed changes at the agency to its poor financial state.

"We are not slowing down election mail or any other mail," he told AFP.

"The Postal Service is in a financially unsustainable position, stemming from substantial declines in mail volume and a broken business model," he explained.

"We face an impending liquidity crisis," Partenheimer said, calling on Congress and regulators to enact reforms.

Meanwhile, in Congress... 
The postal troubles come as Congress remains deadlocked over a new stimulus bill to follow the $2.2 trillion CARES Act package passed in March as the coronavirus crisis erupted.

Democrats have proposed giving the USPS billions of dollars in funding, and Trump -- after first saying he opposed that -- said Friday that perhaps some new funds could be included in a compromise.&nbsp;

On Saturday he blamed the Democrats again, telling reporters they "aren't approving proper funding for postal, and they're not approving the proper funding for this ridiculous thing that they want to do which is all mail-in voting."

"You're right, there has to be more resources, I agree," he said. &nbsp;

Trump said candidly in April that mail-in voting "doesn't work out well for Republicans" and has repeatedly described such ballots as prone to fraud.

Experts disagree.&nbsp;

A study this year by New York University's Brennan Center for Justice found that "it is... more likely for an American to be struck by lightning than to commit mail voting fraud."

In an interview, American Postal Workers Union President Mark Dimondstein blamed the nationwide slowdowns in mail deliveries on measures implemented by DeJoy, a Republican fundraiser appointed by Trump who took office in June and pledged to reform the agency.

Dimondstein said overtime has recently been reduced, meaning carriers leave distribution centers immediately rather than wait 10 or 15 minutes for delayed mail, as they previously did.

That, combined with the around 40,000 workers who have had to quarantine since March because of COVID-19, has created delays.

DeJoy -- defended by Trump as a "fantastic man" -- has "arbitrarily reduced hours of work of the employees, but the same work is still there to get done," Dimondstein said.

States act 
As concerns mount over the USPS's ability to handle the expected surge in ballots, states are working to ensure their residents' votes count.

Pennsylvania this week asked its supreme court to push back its deadline for accepting mail-in ballots.

In a court filing, it cited a letter from a USPS official to the state warning of "a risk that ballots requested near the deadline under state law will not be returned by mail in time to be counted under your laws."&nbsp;

The Washington Post reported on Friday similar notices were sent to 45 other states and the District of Columbia.

Jon Tester, a Democratic senator from Montana, also has asked DeJoy in writing to explain reports that the USPS was removing mailboxes from towns in the state.&nbsp;

Late Friday, a USPS spokesman told CNN that removal of mailboxes was being halted in 16 states, including Montana, and parts of two others.

Dimondstein said he hoped Trump's "brazen challenge to the democratic right -- that somehow he's going to starve this institution to suppress the vote -- somehow gives more impetus to Congress to react."&nbsp;

"Congress needs to act, and they need to act soon," he said.

Postal slowdown sparks claims of plot to undermine US vote

US President Donald Trump's competitor Joe Biden has lashed out at Trump for spreading&nbsp;"abhorrent" lies about Biden's choice of Vice President Kamala Harris and her eligibility to become a Vice President.

"I heard it today that she doesn't meet the requirements," Trump said, after an article was published by a law professor questioning Harris' parents immigration at the time of her birth — Harris' mother is Indian and father is Jamaican.&nbsp;

Biden camp slams Trumps for 'abhorrent' birther lies about Kamala Harris

Donald Trump's ex-lawyer&nbsp;Michael Cohen has alleged him of colluding with Russia to win elections, and promises proof of it in his new book.

Cohen is publishing a book titled&nbsp;"Disloyal, A Memoir.", in which he alleges Trump of colluding with Russia and much more.

A 3,700 word long foreword of the book was published recently.&nbsp;"Trump had cheated in the election, with Russian connivance, as you will discover in these pages, because doing anything — and I mean anything — to `win` has always been his business model and way of life," Cohen writes in the book`s foreword, which was published online on Thursday.

While the foreword does not reveal anything new about the accusations, it is still unclear if the book will be able to reveal any additional detail or proof regarding these allegations, which have been circling Trump for few years now from different sources.

Former Special Counsel Robert Mueller last year concluded that Russia waged a major campaign to help Trump to victory in 2016. However, Mueller was unable to establish a criminal relationship between the two.

Cohen, on the other hand, has worked closely with Trump over the years and therefore more proof on these allegations is being expected from Cohen's book.

His book has been the center of controversy for months now. The ex-aide was given the permission to publish the book in July end after he was dragged to&nbsp;Otisville prison as a retaliation for planning to publish a book about Trump.

Trump's administration has been trying to halt the production of this book for months now.&nbsp;White House spokesman Brian Morgenstern has now replied with question marks on Chen's credibility calling him to be a 'liar' and accusing him of oublishing the book only to make money from sales.

"He readily admits to lying routinely but expects people to believe him now so that he can make money from book sales. It’s unfortunate that the media is exploiting this sad and desperate man to attack President Trump,” Morgenstern said.

Michael Cohen's lawyers have not yet responded back to the accusation made from the White House.

While the foreword does not reveal anything new about the accusations, it is still unclear if the book will be able to reveal any additional detail or proof regarding these allegations, which have been circling Trump for few years now from different sources. Former Special Counsel Robert Mueller last year concluded that Russia waged a major campaign to help Trump to victory in 2016. However, Mueller was unable to establish a criminal relationship between the two. Cohen, on the other hand, has worked closely with Trump over the years and therefore more proof on these allegations is being expected from Cohen's book. His book has been the center of controversy for months now. The ex-aide was given the permission to publish the book in July end after he was dragged to Otisville prison as a retaliation for planning to publish a book about Trump. Trump's administration has been trying to halt the production of this book for months now. White House spokesman Brian Morgenstern has now replied with question marks on Chen's credibility calling him to be a 'liar' and accusing him of oublishing the book only to make money from sales. "He readily admits to lying routinely but expects people to believe him now so that he can make money from book sales. It’s unfortunate that the media is exploiting this sad and desperate man to attack President Trump,” Morgenstern said. Michael Cohen's lawyers have not yet responded back to the accusation made from the White House.

Harris becomes the first Black woman and the first Asian American to compete on a major party's presidential ticket.

WION Fineprint: Democrat Joe Biden chooses Senator Kamala Harris as VP candidate

Kamala Harris today is the subject of global headlines because despite dropping out of the US presidential election she is back in the race. She has joined hands with her toughest opponent and will be the vice-presidential nominee for the Democrats as Joe Biden has picked her as his running mate.

With less than 90 days left for the US presidential election which will be held on November 3, America will decide who gets to rent the White House for the next four years even when it is gripped by the pandemic.

It is make-or-break time for the Democrats which is the party in Opposition in America. It is desperately trying to pull Donald Trump down and deny him a second term.

Biden's choice of Kamala Harris as his vice presidential candidate gives the Democrats a fighting chance. Kamala Harris, 55,&nbsp;ticks all four boxes - she&nbsp;is the first female, person of colour, Indian-American, vice president choice.

Until last year Harris was a favourite in the presidential race. She was an outspoken critic of Donald Trump and her performance during the debates went viral across the world. Harris had even unsettled Biden on several occasions especially on the issue of race but she couldn’t keep her campaign going as it ran out of funds.

Former President Barack Obama has given his blessing to Biden's pick. Biden by picking Harris has put aside his differences with Harris and going after the common enemy- Donald Trump.

Biden's announcement today was telling and his camp sent out a text message to the supporters, it said: "Joe Biden here. big news: I’ve chosen Kamala Harris as my running mate. Together, with you, we’re going to beat Trump." 
&nbsp; 
Experts consider Harris as a safe choice for Biden. She is a reliable Democrat with strong experience in domestic policy and as an Indian-American, Harris would help Biden secure that vote bank.

US President Donald Trump has tried to win over Indian-Americans too with his appearances alongside Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Houston and Ahmedabad.

Trump’s vice president Mike Pence welcomed Harris to the race. Pence said that he is looking forward to facing her in October at the debate of the vice-presidential candidates in Salt Lake City.

"There are those in power who are doing their darndest to discourage people from voting by closing polling locations and targeting minorities and students with restrictive ID laws and attacking our voting rights with surgical precision, even undermining the postal service in the run-up to an election that's going to be dependent on mail-in ballots so people don't get sick," Obama said.

With less than 100 days to go for the presidential election, leaders on both sides are sharpening their rhetoric. President Trump backs the aggressive actions of security forces calling the protester's anarchists.

Black Lives Matter movement takes political colour as US elections near

President Donald Trump suggested that the US election should be delayed with less than 100 days left for voting day.

No presidential election has ever been postponed in the United States even during the civil war, or World War-II.

In his tweet, the US president spoke out against universal mail-in voting. America gives the option to cast votes through postal ballots. It will be widely used in America this time because of the Wuhan virus.

America is the worst hit country in the world and may not flatten the curve anytime soon. Postal votes will enable social distancing but Trump is against it.

The US president says if votes are mailed in then it will be the most inaccurate and fraudulent election in the history of America, therefore the election can be delayed until the people can go out and vote.

Later on Thursday, Trump faced the press and was bombarded with questions. However, he stuck to his message. Trump claimed ballots will be forged and the election will be triggered.

Several studies have shown that all forms of voting fraud are very rare in the US. The US president himself set up a panel to investigate election corruption but it was disbanded as they found no real evidence of fraud.

The president cannot cancel or postpone it with an order since a law made in the 1845 permanently fixed the election date - the first Tuesday in November. This year it falls on November 3. Only the US Congress can delay the polls with a constitution amendment and major lawmakers have already rejected the idea.

Senior members of Trump's own party say that the election will happen on November 3. Democrats haven't backed Trump. Some feel it will buy him some time to make some gains. Trump is behind Joe Biden in the opinion polls. A delay would buy him some time. Unfortunately for Trump he doesn’t have the powers to make his wish come true.

Gravitas: Biden or Trump, Who will America vote for?

US President Donald Trump has a long record of leaving musicians miffed by using their songs at his rallies.

The Rolling Stones

“You can’t always get what you want”, an enduring rock anthem by the&nbsp;Rolling Stones was a popular choice at many of Donald Trump's events.

It was played again at the close of Trump's recent rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma - an indoor event criticised for its potential to spread coronavirus.

This prompted the English rock band to issue a statement in which they have said that their legal team is working with BMI, a music rights organisation, to stop use of their material in Trump's reelection campaign. “If Donald Trump disregards the exclusion and persists, then he would face a lawsuit for breaking the embargo and playing music that has not been licensed”, the statement reads.

The legendary band had also objected to this during his 2016 campaign, accusing him of using their music to fire up his conservative base at rallies.

Tom Petty

The family of the late Tom Petty also filed a cease and desist notice to the Trump campaign. Petty's 1989 hit “I won't back down" was played at the rally in Tulsa.

Neil Young

In 2018, Grammy award-winning musician Neil Young lashed out at Trump after hearing one of his songs played against his wishes during Trump's pre-midterm campaign rallies.

The Canadian-born musician admonished Trump for using his 1990 single, “Rockin’ in the free world,” in spite of earlier warnings.

Rihanna

In 2018, Rihanna discovered her music was being played during one of his rallies via twitter. She quickly put an end to it, writing “me nor my people would ever be at or around one of those tragic rallies, so thanks for the heads up.”

Elton John

While running for president, Trump used Elton John's songs “Rocket man" and “Tiny dancer" as warm-up music to his campaign rallies. But the iconic British singer made it clear that he didn't want his music involved in American politics, going on to say, “I’m not a Republican in a million years."

Adele

In 2016, upon finding out that Trump was playing her music at his events, Adele's spokesperson announced that she had not given him permission to use her music. The singer went on to endorse Hillary Clinton during a concert.

The history of musicians chastising Trump for using their music at his rallies

United States Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden’s first fundraiser with former President Barack Obama&nbsp;in view of the upcoming elections&nbsp;has raised over $4 million from 120,000 people.

Biden’s campaign announced the same ahead of Obama and Biden’s joint appearance on Tuesday.

This may be Biden’s largest haul from small donors in the country. For the first time ever in May, Biden’s collection had amassed more money than his rival Trump - $80 million vs $74 million.

Donald Trump announced plans to stand for elections again in 2017. He has a lot of edge over Biden in terms of fudnds. Throughout the course of his presidency, he has collected $265 million in cash by the end of May. On the other hand, Biden and the Democrats have $122 million.

Way before the campaigning kick-started, Biden had weak fundraising numbers, which stirred trouble among the Democrats, who were worried about his nomination. However, over the last few weeks, given emerging dialogue about racial injustice and the delayed response to coronavirus which Trump is accused of, Biden’s support has grown tremendously. Most polls show Biden leading the charts, with Trump falling to second place.

Former US president Obama’s endorsement of Biden may also have fuelled this response, as the former Prez enjoys a lot of a support among the American masses. Obama had planned to campaign for Biden more formally but all plans were halted owing to COVID-19, which has killed more people in the US than it has anywhere else in the world.

With the lesser amount in reserve for campaign, Biden’s campaigning may not be able to allot more money to advertising and other operations that promote coming out to vote, especially given the paranoia around COVID-19.

Just last week, a fundraiser hosted by Elizabeth Warren, a senator was able to amass $6 million, the highest for Biden’s campaign.

Recently, Trump held his first post-coronavirus rally in Tulsa, which saw lesser turnout than expected.&nbsp;Reportedly, thousands of tickets were reserved by TikTok and K-pop fans who had no plans of going to the rally.

Trump has been in the centre of another controversy owing to the book released by his ex-aide. The book is titled “The Room Where It Happened”, and has been at the centre of controversy in terms of its content. According to Bolton, Trump had sought political favours from Chinese President Xi Jinping and had allegedly not raised any red flags with China’s treatment of Uighur Muslims, who are reportedly kept in concentration camps.
