<p>Top US intelligence officials said on Monday (July 29) that Russia was relying on unwitting Americans and commercial public relations (PR) firms in Russia&nbsp;to spread disinformation about the upcoming presidential election.</p>

<p>As per a report by the news agency Associated Press on Tuesday, an official from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence told reporters, "The American public should know that content that they read online — especially on social media — could be foreign propaganda, even if it appears to be coming from fellow Americans or originating in the United States."</p>

<p>A tumultuous few weeks in American politics has forced Russia, Iran, and China to revise some of the details of their propaganda playbook, the Associated Press report said.

Astrologer who predicted Biden's exit from US election reveals name of next president

<p>Here are a few numbers that help understand how rapidly America’s political landscape has changed since President Joe Biden gave up his bid to run for a second term just 107 days before the November elections and endorsed his Vice President, Kamala Harris.</p>

<p>She hit the ground running with a speed and efficiency few in her Democratic Party would have predicted and left many in the Republican Party awed and bewildered.</p>

<p>The de-facto presidential nominee of the Democrats set a string of records. Within 24 hours after Biden’s announcement, the Harris campaign netted the largest fund-raising haul ever in that time period: $81 million. By the end of the week, contributions totalled $200&nbsp;million, from 1.4 million donors, according to the campaign.</p>

<p>Roughly two-thirds of those who opened their wallets did so for the first time in the 2024 election cycle – a sign of enthusiasm and hope from voters who had feared the 81-year-old Biden could not lead the Democrats to victory.</p>

<p>On the Sunday (Jul 28) after Biden’s announcement, a group called Win With Black Women hosted a video call to support Harris and was joined by 44,000 people who pledged more than $1.5 million to her campaign. Four days later, a similar call aimed at white women attracted 160,000 participants and brought in $8.5 million.</p>

<p>“Kamala Broke Zoom,” proclaimed the headline over a cable news story which described the event as a world record.</p>

<p>Determined to keep the momentum, Harris wasted no time to hit the campaign trail. Her first stop was in Milwaukee, just a week after the end of the Republican National Convention at which former president Donald Trump formally accepted his party’s nomination as its presidential candidate.</p>

<p>The mood at the RNC was joyous. Trump had survived an assassination attempt a few days before the convention and he and most of his followers ascribed his survival – a bullet nicked his ear – to divine intervention. Party faithful and many political analysts predicted that election victory was all but certain.</p>

<p>Few could have imagined that boisterous crowds of fired-up Democrats would chant for a Harris victory in the same city a few days later.</p>

<p>While she is not the official Democratic nominee yet – that will happen at next month’s Democratic National Convention – she has been endorsed by every single party heavyweight, from former Speaker of the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi to former president Barack Obama and his wife Michelle.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/kamala-harris-raised-200-million-in-first-week-of-presidential-campaign-744981"><strong>Also read |&nbsp;Kamala Harris raised $200 million in first week of presidential campaign</strong></a></p>

<p>Unlike Trump, Harris has yet to pick a running mate for the campaign. With just over 100 days to go, time is of the essence but so is thorough vetting and careful consideration. That has become obvious with Trump’s choice of his running mate, JD Vance.</p>

<p>His controversial statements on the role of women and the size of families have made headlines around the country and the world, creating cartoons and social network memes.</p>

<p>The most damaging comment came from an interview with the right-wing commentator Tucker Carlson while he was running for the Ohio Senate seat in 2021. The video clip surfaced a few weeks ago and has circulated dozens of times. Vance said: “We’re effectively run in this country – via the Democrats, via our corporate oligarchs – by a bunch of childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives and the choices they have made, and so they want to make the rest of the country miserable, too.”</p>

<p>As statements causing offence to millions of potential voters go, this ranks very high on the list. About a third of all households in the US&nbsp;own at least one cat and their number is estimated at 93 million. There are no statistics on how many cat owners are childless women but one angry woman reacted with a social network posting of a photograph of music superstar Taylor Swift with her cat draped around her neck.</p>

<p>If Kamala Harris were to beat Trump in the elections, she would follow up her “firsts” in Zoom calls and fundraising with more firsts. She would be the first female and bi-racial president – her mother is Indian and her father is Jamaican.</p>

<p>The Trump campaign no longer scoffs at the idea of a Harris victory and neither do conservative pundits or even the Wall Street Journal, America’s most widely circulated conservative newspaper. Its Sunday edition carried a front-page story headlined Harris Erases Trump’s Lead. Sub-headline: WSJ poll shows race effectively tied with three months to go after Biden’s exit.</p>

<p>On the opinion page of the same issue (July 27), veteran columnist Peggy Noonan, whose insightful writing is widely respected across the political spectrum, headlined her piece The Kamala Harris Surprise and wrote “I had long thought Kamala Harris couldn’t beat Donald Trump. That’s wrong. She can. We’re a 50-50 country, each side gets 40 going in, you fight for the rest but it can always go either way.”</p>

<p>In the Democrats’ favour in the rhetorical battle over the next few month is an argument the Republicans have used endlessly to attack Biden: his age. At 81, so the chorus went, he was too old to serve another four years. Now, Trump, at 78, will be the oldest person in US history to run for the presidency. Kamala Harris is 59.</p>

Here are a few numbers that help understand how rapidly America’s political landscape has changed since President Joe Biden gave up his bid to run for a second term just 107 days before the November elections and endorsed his Vice President, Kamala Harris.

Here are a few numbers that help understand how rapidly America’s political landscape has changed since President Joe Biden gave up his bid to run for a second term just 107 days before the November elections and endorsed his Vice President, Kamala Harris. She hit the ground running with a speed and efficiency few in her Democratic Party would have predicted and left many in the Republican Party awed and bewildered. The de-facto presidential nominee of the Democrats set a string of records. Within 24 hours after Biden’s announcement, the Harris campaign netted the largest fund-raising haul ever in that time period: $81 million. By the end of the week, contributions totalled $200 million, from 1.4 million donors, according to the campaign. Roughly two-thirds of those who opened their wallets did so for the first time in the 2024 election cycle – a sign of enthusiasm and hope from voters who had feared the 81-year-old Biden could not lead the Democrats to victory. On the Sunday (Jul 28) after Biden’s announcement, a group called Win With Black Women hosted a video call to support Harris and was joined by 44,000 people who pledged more than $1.5 million to her campaign. Four days later, a similar call aimed at white women attracted 160,000 participants and brought in $8.5 million. “Kamala Broke Zoom,” proclaimed the headline over a cable news story which described the event as a world record. Determined to keep the momentum, Harris wasted no time to hit the campaign trail. Her first stop was in Milwaukee, just a week after the end of the Republican National Convention at which former president Donald Trump formally accepted his party’s nomination as its presidential candidate. The mood at the RNC was joyous. Trump had survived an assassination attempt a few days before the convention and he and most of his followers ascribed his survival – a bullet nicked his ear – to divine intervention. Party faithful and many political analysts predicted that election victory was all but certain. Few could have imagined that boisterous crowds of fired-up Democrats would chant for a Harris victory in the same city a few days later. While she is not the official Democratic nominee yet – that will happen at next month’s Democratic National Convention – she has been endorsed by every single party heavyweight, from former Speaker of the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi to former president Barack Obama and his wife Michelle. Also read | Kamala Harris raised $200 million in first week of presidential campaign Unlike Trump, Harris has yet to pick a running mate for the campaign. With just over 100 days to go, time is of the essence but so is thorough vetting and careful consideration. That has become obvious with Trump’s choice of his running mate, JD Vance. His controversial statements on the role of women and the size of families have made headlines around the country and the world, creating cartoons and social network memes. The most damaging comment came from an interview with the right-wing commentator Tucker Carlson while he was running for the Ohio Senate seat in 2021. The video clip surfaced a few weeks ago and has circulated dozens of times. Vance said: “We’re effectively run in this country – via the Democrats, via our corporate oligarchs – by a bunch of childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives and the choices they have made, and so they want to make the rest of the country miserable, too.” As statements causing offence to millions of potential voters go, this ranks very high on the list. About a third of all households in the US own at least one cat and their number is estimated at 93 million. There are no statistics on how many cat owners are childless women but one angry woman reacted with a social network posting of a photograph of music superstar Taylor Swift with her cat draped around her neck. If Kamala Harris were to beat Trump in the elections, she would follow up her “firsts” in Zoom calls and fundraising with more firsts. She would be the first female and bi-racial president – her mother is Indian and her father is Jamaican. Watch | US Presidential Race: Trump & Harris renew attacks at weekend campaign events, race enters new phase × The Trump campaign no longer scoffs at the idea of a Harris victory and neither do conservative pundits or even the Wall Street Journal, America’s most widely circulated conservative newspaper. Its Sunday edition carried a front-page story headlined Harris Erases Trump’s Lead. Sub-headline: WSJ poll shows race effectively tied with three months to go after Biden’s exit. On the opinion page of the same issue (July 27), veteran columnist Peggy Noonan, whose insightful writing is widely respected across the political spectrum, headlined her piece The Kamala Harris Surprise and wrote “I had long thought Kamala Harris couldn’t beat Donald Trump. That’s wrong. She can. We’re a 50-50 country, each side gets 40 going in, you fight for the rest but it can always go either way.” In the Democrats’ favour in the rhetorical battle over the next few month is an argument the Republicans have used endlessly to attack Biden: his age. At 81, so the chorus went, he was too old to serve another four years. Now, Trump, at 78, will be the oldest person in US history to run for the presidency. Kamala Harris is 59.

In run-up to elections, Kamala Harris is changing America’s political landscape

<p>Kamala Harris's campaign has raised a whopping $200 million after she emerged as the frontrunner for the Democrat presidential nominee last week. The donations have skyrocketed after President Joe Biden dropped his re-election bid and endorsed Harris as the presidential candidate.&nbsp;</p>

<p>As of Sunday (Jul 28), the bulk of donations (66 per cent) came from first-time contributors in the 2024 election cycle.&nbsp;Additionally, over 170,000 volunteers have also signed up to help the Harris campaign which has only 100 days to take on rival, Donald Trump.&nbsp;</p>

<p>On Saturday (Jul 27), Haris campaigned in Pittsfield, Massachusettes where the fundraiser managed to raise approximately $1,4 million, shattering the earlier estimates of $400,000 by a countrymile.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“The momentum and energy for Vice President Harris is real — and so are the fundamentals of this race: this election will be very close and decided by a small number of voters in just a few states,” wrote Michael Tyler, Harris's campaign communications director.&nbsp;</p>

<p>While most Republicans had predicted Harris to be a weak candidate in front of Trump, her popularity in recent days has given a major scare to the GOP lawmakers.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Trump has also resorted to making personal jibes against the vice president, suggesting that the former president knew about the increasing threat.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>“She was a bum three weeks ago.&nbsp;She was a bum, a failed vice president," said Trump on Friday (Jul 26).&nbsp;</p>

'Crooked Joe Biden wasn't...': Trump reacts after Biden drops out of the presidential race

<p>Amid pressure from the allies after the debate debacle, US President Joe Biden officially stepped down from the 2024 presidential race on Sunday (Jul 21).</p>

<p>Not just his Republican rivals, Biden's own Democratic allies had mounted pressure on the 81-year-old's shoulders to 'pass the torch' and make way for an alternative with better winning prospects. Vice President Kamala Harris is the frontrunner for the&nbsp;party's ticket against Donald Trump for the 2024 presidential election following her endorsement by Biden.</p>

<p>Reactions are pouring in from around the world as Biden officially takes the back seat. Here we look at some of them:</p>

<p>Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump took to his Truth Social app and said Biden was 'never' fit to serve as president.</p>

<h2><strong>Michigan governor Gretchen Whitmer</strong></h2>

<p>Michigan governor Gretchen Whitmer has praised Biden saying he “is a great public servant who knows better than anyone what it takes to defeat Donald Trump.”</p>

<p>“My job in this election will remain the same: doing everything I can to elect Democrats and stop Donald Trump, a convicted felon whose agenda of raising families’ costs, banning abortion nationwide, and abusing the power of the White House to settle his own scores is completely wrong for Michigan,” Whitmer said on X.<br />

Amid pressure from the allies after the debate debacle, US President Joe Biden officially stepped down from the 2024 presidential race on Sunday (Jul 21). Not just his Republican rivals, Biden's own Democratic allies had mounted pressure on the 81-year-old's shoulders to 'pass the torch' and make way for an alternative with better winning prospects.

Amid pressure from the allies after the debate debacle, US President Joe Biden officially stepped down from the 2024 presidential race on Sunday (Jul 21). Not just his Republican rivals, Biden's own Democratic allies had mounted pressure on the 81-year-old's shoulders to 'pass the torch' and make way for an alternative with better winning prospects. Vice President Kamala Harris is the frontrunner for the party's ticket against Donald Trump for the 2024 presidential election following her endorsement by Biden. Reactions are pouring in from around the world as Biden officially takes the back seat. Here we look at some of them: Donald Trump Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump took to his Truth Social app and said Biden was 'never' fit to serve as president. "Crooked Joe Biden was not fit to run for President, and is certainly not fit to serve - And never was! He only attained the position of President by lies, Fake News, and not leaving his Basement. All those around him, including his Doctor and the Media, knew that he wasn’t capable of being President, and he wasn’t - And now, look what he’s done to our Country, with millions of people coming across our Border, totally unchecked and unvetted, many from prisons, mental institutions, and record numbers of terrorists. We will suffer greatly because of his presidency, but we will remedy the damage he has done very quickly. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!" Trump wrote. Vivek Ramaswamy Vivek Ramaswamy, meanwhile, struck a cautionary tone. On X, he wrote, "We’re not running against a candidate. We’re running against a system." We’re not running against a candidate. We’re running against a system. — Vivek Ramaswamy (@VivekGRamaswamy) July 21, 2024 × Chuck Schumer Majority Leader of the United States Senate Chuck Schumer thanked Joe Biden for being a "great leader". "Joe Biden has not only been a great president and a great legislative leader but he's a truly amazing human being. His decision, of course, was not easy, but he once again put his country, his party, and our future first. Joe, today shows you are a true patriot and great American." Speaker Mike Johnson Speaker Mike Johnson took it a step further. He asked Biden to leave the White House immediately. "If Joe Biden is not fit to run for President, he is not fit to serve as President. He must resign the office immediately," he wrote. At this unprecedented juncture in American history, we must be clear about what just happened. The Democrat Party forced the Democrat nominee off the ballot, just over 100 days before the election.

‘Not fit to serve either’: Reactions pour in as Joe Biden drops out of 2024 presidential race

<p>US Vice President Kamala Harris gave her first public remarks and praised President Joe Biden after he gave up his re-election bid and endorsed her as the Democrat&nbsp;nominee for the November elections.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Harris first provided an update on Biden's health, stating that the president wanted to be here but was recovering at his home in Delaware.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“Our president, Joe Biden, wanted to be here today. He is feeling much better and recovering fast, and he looks forward to getting back on the road," said Harris.&nbsp;</p>

<p>She reflected on Biden's work as president and waxed lyrical as to how he had surpassed the legacy of most of his predecessors.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"And I wanted to say a few words about our president. Joe Biden’s legacy of accomplishments over the past three years is unmatched in modern history. In one term, he has already surpassed the legacy of most presidents who have served two terms in office,” Harris said.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The VP went back in time and said it was during her time with Biden's son Beau that she realised what kind of man the Democrat leader was.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"I first came to know President Biden through his son Beau. We worked together as attorneys general in our states, and back then, Beau would often tell me stories about his dad. He would talk about the kind of father and the kind of man that Joe Biden is," said Harris.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"The qualities that Beau revered in his father are the same qualities that I have seen every day in our president, his honesty, his integrity, his commitment to his faith and his family, his big heart and his love, deep love of our country. And I am a first-hand witness that every day our president, Joe Biden, fights for the American people, and we are deeply, deeply grateful for his service to our nation," she signed off as saying.&nbsp;</p>

‘His legacy is unmatched’: Kamala Harris in first speech after Biden drops out of presidential race

<p>Joe Biden has withdrawn from the race for the US presidency,&nbsp;succumbing&nbsp;to the mounting pressure from his Democratic colleagues on Capitol Hill as well as&nbsp;top donors.</p>

<p>Instead, Biden has thrown his weight behind Vice President&nbsp;Kamala Harris to be the Democratic nominee in the November elections.</p>

<p>"My fellow Democrats, I have decided not to accept the nomination and to focus all my energies on my duties as President for the remainder of my term. My very first decision as the party nominee in 2020 was to pick Kamala Harris as my Vice President. And it’s been the best decision I’ve made. Today I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our party this year. Democrats — it’s time to come together and beat Trump. Let’s do this," Biden wrote.</p>

Joe Biden finally bows to pressure, withdraws from US presidential race

<p>Former United States&nbsp;House of Representatives&nbsp;Speaker Nancy Pelosi had a terse exchange with a reporter on Wednesday (Jul 10) while walking down a hallway. The reporter, Rachel Scott from ABC News, asked Pelosi if she thought President Joe Biden should remain in the race for White House with around four months left for the presidential election.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Pelosi, who was initially reluctant to discuss such matters in the hallway, eventually stopped and turned to address Scott's questions about Biden's reelection bid.</p>

<p>“Am I speaking English to you? I’m not going to be making any statements about any of that right now in the hallway,” Pelosi told Scott, as shown in a video that the ABC News reporter posted on X.</p>

<p>The former US House speaker&nbsp;said that she believes Biden will win in November.</p>

<p>Earlier, in an interview with MSNBC's "Morning Joe," the former speaker turned heads when she stated that it's up to him to decide, despite the president's insistence that he will continue to run for office.</p>

<p>“It’s up to the president to decide if he is going to run,” Pelosi said on MSNBC.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“We’re all encouraging him to make that decision. Because time is running short,” Pelosi said.</p>

<p>Former Obama adviser David Axelrod said later on Wednesday that Pelosi’s comments were significant.</p>
