No 'red wave'

Democratic Party does better than expected in midterms

Donald Trump urged to delay 2024 launch after GOP's uneven election

It was supposed to be a red wave that former President Donald Trump could triumphantly ride to the Republican nomination as he prepares to launch another White House run. Instead, Tuesday night's disappointing results for the GOP are raising new questions about Trump's appeal and the future of a party that has fully embraced him, seemingly at its peril, while at the same time giving new momentum to his most potent potential rival. Indeed, some allies were calling on Trump to delay his planned announcement next week, saying the party's full focus needs to be on Georgia, where Trump-backed football great Herschel Walker's effort to unseat Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock is headed to a runoff that could determine control of the Senate once again. I'll be advising him that he move his announcement until after the Georgia runoff, said former Trump adviser Jason Miller, who spent the night with the former president at his Mar-a-Lago club in Florida. Georgia needs to be the focus of every

Nothing like this has happened since Civil War: Biden on US Capitol attack

US President Joe Biden has described the events of January 6 as something that did not happen since the Civil War. On January 6, 2021, a mob of the then US president Donald Trump's supporters stormed Capitol Hill here and clashed with police just as the Congress had convened to validate Biden's presidential win. Nothing like this has happened since the Civil War. I don't want to exaggerate. But literally, nothing like this has happened since the Civil War (1861-1865), Biden told reporters at a news conference here on Wednesday. Responding to questions, he said if the United States tomorrow were to withdraw from the world, a lot of things would change around the world. A whole lot would change. So, they're very concerned that we are still the open democracy we've been and that we have rules and the institutions matter. That's the context in which I think that they're looking at: Are we back to a place where we are going to accept decisions made by the Court, by the Congress, by the

Democrats beat Trump-backed Republican candidates in liberal states

Democrats easily repelled Republicans backed by former President Donald Trump in several left-leaning states Tuesday, while tougher tests that could decide control of Congress and the future of Joe Biden's presidency awaited in more competitive territory. Despite their liberal history, states like Massachusetts, Maryland and Illinois have elected moderate Republican governors in the past. But the Republicans this year appeared to be too conservative in these states, handing Democrats easy victories in midterm elections that could otherwise prove difficult for the party. Massachusetts and Maryland also saw historic firsts: Democrat Maura Healey became the first woman elected as Massachusetts governor, as well as the first openly lesbian governor of any state, and Wes Moore became the first Black governor of Maryland. Both Democrats and Republicans saw opportunity in the other party's strongholds but came up short. In the Colorado Senate race, Democratic Sen. Michael Bennet defeated .

US midterm polls: Amid high scrutiny, people vote without major hitches

Americans voted without major hitches Tuesday in midterm elections receiving intense scrutiny after two years of false claims and conspiracy theories about how ballots are cast and counted. With polls open across the country, no widespread problems with ballots, long lines or voter intimidation were reported early on, though there were hiccups in some places, which is typical on any Election Day. Vote tabulators malfunctioned in a county in New Jersey and one in Arizona, prompting assurances from officials that ballots would be counted. Some voting sites in North Carolina were delayed in opening because workers showed up late, though officials may extend voting hours. And in one Pennsylvania county, polling places scrambled to replenish low supplies of paper ballots. These are things we see in every election cycle, said Susannah Goodman, director of election security at Common Cause, a group that advocates for voting access. There's nothing majorly concerning this morning. Since th

Former US president Donald Trump to make a 'big announcement' on Nov 15

Former President Donald Trump said Monday he will be making a big announcement next week in Florida as he teased a third presidential run while campaigning in Ohio ahead of the final day of voting in this year's midterm elections. I'm going to be making a very big announcement on Tuesday, Nov. 15 at Mar-a-Lago," Trump said before a cheering crowd in Vandalia, Ohio Monday night, where he was holding his final rally of the midterm season to bolster Senate candidate JD Vance. We want nothing to detract from the importance of tomorrow." Trump has been increasingly explicit about his plans to launch a third presidential campaign, saying in recent days that he would very, very, very probably run again and would be formalizing his intentions very, very soon." I will probably have to do it again but stay tuned, he said Sunday night in Miami. Stay tuned to tomorrow night in the great state of Ohio. Republican officials and some people in Trump's orbit had urged him to wait until after the .

Ahead of crucial midterms, Joe Biden and Trump to make final appeals

An election year that unfolded against the backdrop of economic turmoil, the elimination of federal abortion rights and broad concerns about the future of democracy is concluding with a final full day of campaigning in which leaders of both parties will issue urgent appeals to their supporters. President Joe Biden is holding a Monday evening rally in Maryland, where Democrats have one of their best opportunities to reclaim a Republican-held governor's seat. The appearance is in line with Biden's late-campaign strategy of sticking largely to Democratic strongholds rather than stumping in more competitive territory, where control of Congress may ultimately be decided. His predecessor, former President Donald Trump, will hold his final rally of the campaign in Ohio. As he readies another run for the White House, Ohio holds special meaning for the former president because it was one of the first places where he was able to prove his enduring power among Republican voters. His backing of

US 'in decline'; Biden has his own dire warning, says Donald Trump

Former President Donald Trump is predicting America's destruction if his fellow Republicans don't deliver a massive electoral wave on Tuesday. Democrats, led by President Joe Biden and two other former presidents, are warning that abortion rights, Social Security and even democracy itself are at stake. Three of the six living presidents delivered dire closing messages Saturday in battleground Pennsylvania entering the final weekend of the 2022 midterm elections, but their words echoed across the country as millions of Americans cast ballots to decide the balance of power in Washington and in key state capitals. Polls across America will close on Tuesday, but more than 39 million people have already voted. On Sunday, Biden was set to campaign in suburban New York, while Trump was headed to Florida. If you want to stop the destruction of our country and save the American dream, then on Tuesday you must vote Republican in a giant red wave, Trump told thousands of cheering supporters as

Jan. 6 attack panel extends deadline for Trump to produce documents

The House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol has extended the deadline for former President Donald Trump to turn over documents as part of a subpoena issued last month, while reiterating its request for a sit-down interview. The panel comprised of seven Democrats and two Republicans issued a statement late Friday saying it is in communication with Trump's attorneys. Friday had been the committee's deadline for Trump to produce an extensive number of documents and communications with lawmakers. We have informed the former President's counsel that he must begin producing records no later than next week and he remains under subpoena for deposition testimony starting on November 14th, Chairman Bennie Thompson and Vice Chair Liz Cheney wrote in the statement. With other subpoenas, the committee's deadlines for document or depositions requests have generally been subject to negotiation, but only when there is a direct line of communication with the witness and thei

Judge to appoint monitor for Trump's company to ensure no further fraud

A Manhattan judge said Thursday he will appoint an independent monitor to ensure there is no further fraud at former President Donald Trump's company, restricting its ability to freely make deals, sell assets and change its corporate structure. Judge Arthur Engoron ordered an outside watchdog as he presides over a lawsuit in which New York's attorney general alleges Trump and the Trump Organization misled banks and others about the value of prized assets, including golf courses and hotels bearing his name. Attorney General Letitia James says the company is continuing to engage in fraud and has taken steps to dodge potential penalties from her lawsuit, such as incorporating a new, similarly named entity - Trump Organization LLC - in September, just before the lawsuit was filed. Engoron wrote in an 11-page order that Trump and the Trump Organization demonstrated propensity to engage in persistent fraud and that appointing an outside monitor is the most prudent and narrowly tailored ..

People banned from Twitter won't be restored for weeks: Elon Musk

Elon Musk said on Wednesday that Twitter will not allow anyone who has been kicked off the site to return until it sets up procedures on how to do that, a process that will take at least a few weeks. That would mean people banned from the site for violating Twitter's rules for harassment, violence, or election and COVID-related misinformation will not be able to return before next Tuesday's US midterm elections. The pledge came after Musk, who took control of the social-media site last week after buying it for USD 44 billion, said in a tweet that he had met with a handful of civil-society leaders about how Twitter will continue to combat hate and harassment and enforce its election integrity policies." Those attending the meeting on Tuesday asked Musk not to restore the banned users ahead of the midterms, said Jessica Gonzlez, an attorney and co-CEO of the advocacy group Free Press who attended the meeting. The attendees including leaders from the NAACP, Anti-Defamation League and
