Waukesha (United States) (AFP) - Donald Trump used a break in his hush money trial to stage back-to-back appearances in two Midwestern battleground states Wednesday -- but kept his legal woes front-and-center as he accused President Joe Biden of weaponizing the courts against him. The former Republican president, who is running for a return to the White House, rallied supporters in Wisconsin and Michigan, among the most hotly contested states in his expected rematch with Democrat Biden in November. The speeches featured all of Trump's go-to set-pieces, from complaints about environmentally fri...

Washington (AFP) - Rugged ranch fate, or cruel judgment? South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem, a potential Donald Trump 2024 running mate, has shocked Americans by revealing she once shot her family dog -- a risky acknowledgement in a nation that cherishes its pets. In her forthcoming memoir, obtained by The Guardian newspaper, the conservative Republican describes how, after a hunting excursion gone awry, she shot and killed her "untrainable" 14-month-old dog Cricket. "I hated that dog," Noem, 52, wrote in "No Going Back," according to excerpts published by The Guardian. She explained how Cricke...

Washington (AFP) - Meetings, interviews, fundraising events, official travel: Joe Biden tried this week to be everywhere at once while his rival Donald Trump was held up in court. It was a tactical campaign move by an 81-year-old president who faces mixed polls and nagging questions about his age. Since last Monday, Trump has been tied up in criminal court in connection with alleged hidden payments to a former porn star. And for the next several weeks, the 77-year-old former Republican president, who's been indicted in several other cases, will see his campaign disrupted while he sits in the N...

Washington (AFP) - US President Joe Biden took aim Wednesday at Donald Trump, joking that when his rival famously remarked about injecting bleach to tackle Covid it instead went in his much-discussed hair. "Remember when he was trying to deal with Covid... He suggested just inject a little bleach in your veins," Biden said at a construction workers event in Washington. "He missed, it all went to his hair!" the Democrat quipped, eliciting a burst of laughter among the audience at North America's Building Trade Union, which has endorsed the 81-year-old in this year's election. Biden made a simi...

Washington (AFP) - US President Joe Biden hammered Donald Trump on Tuesday over his role in restricting abortion rights, telling a crowd in Florida that voters will hold his Republican predecessor and opponent personally "accountable" in November. Shortly after Trump departed the New York courtroom where he is on trial, the Democratic president -- whose campaign views the abortion issue as potentially key to winning reelection -- took the stage at a university in Tampa. "Let's be real clear. There's one person responsible for this nightmare. And he's acknowledged it and he brags about it: Dona...

Wilmington (United States) (AFP) - Donald Trump called off a rally on Saturday, the Republican candidate's first campaign event since his criminal trial in New York began this week, due to bad weather threatening the outdoor gathering. Thousands of supporters had gathered for the event at the airport in the North Carolina city of Wilmington when he called in 30 minutes before the scheduled start. "We want to make sure that everybody is safe above all and so they've asked us to ask people to leave the site and seek shelter," Trump said in the call broadcast over the loudspeakers, with thick da...

Schnecksville (United States) (AFP) - Donald Trump's mounting legal woes are just more reason to stick behind the former president, his ardent supporters told AFP on Saturday, just days before the Republican leader's historic criminal trial gets underway in New York. Gathered in the small Pennsylvania town of Schnecksville, his impassioned backers said Saturday they believe Trump will come out of the proceedings stronger than ever. The crowd, braving a chilly wind and some light rain, started gathering Saturday morning to hear the former president speak at night as he campaign once again for t...

Washington (AFP) - Extremely discreet in the White House and even more reserved since leaving Washington, Melania Trump is keeping observers guessing whether she will appear, however warily, on the campaign trail alongside her husband. Aloof and enigmatic, the Slovenian-born former model has been noticeably absent as husband Donald Trump makes his third bid for the White House. Nor has she attended any court hearings with her husband as he navigates a myriad of cases. His first criminal trial begins on Monday, and her plans remain unclear. Her absences are unusual in the United States, where t...

Miami (AFP) - Donald Trump on Friday threw a lifeline to embattled House Speaker Mike Johnson, saying the Republican congressional leader is doing "a very good job." Trump defended Johnson against a move by firebrand Republican congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, whom Trump labeled as a friend, to call a vote for his ouster. "It's not an easy situation for any speaker," Trump said, with Johnson standing near him at the former president's Mar-a-Lago estate. Johnson traveled to Florida on Friday to huddle with Trump in the latest sign of the hard-right presidential candidate's informal, yet u...

Washington (AFP) - Donald Trump has turned being a victim into a central plank of his campaign, an electoral strategy that will be put to the test Monday in Manhattan during the first ever criminal trial of a former US president. The 77-year-old Republican candidate has repeatedly denounced the numerous legal actions against him as political witch hunts brought by Democrats to derail his chances of recapturing the White House in November. Every day for months his campaign has sent supporters nearly a dozen emails and texts written in the billionaire's name, placing foremost emphasis on the cri...
