Los Angeles (AFP) - US President Joe Biden brushed aside jet lag Saturday, flying straight from the G7 in Italy to Los Angeles to a star-studded fundraiser bringing millions of dollars for his election fight against Donald Trump in November. The president was joined by Barack Obama, the previous Democratic commander-in-chief, at an event which included remarks by actors Julia Roberts and George Clooney, as well as singing icon Barbra Streisand. Despite the Hollywood heavyweights, Biden turned serious when he spoke of his rival Trump, and how whoever wins the election will likely have at least ...

Detroit (AFP) - Donald Trump is so proud of a cognitive assessment he took while president that he boasted about it in a speech Saturday, while attacking what he claims is US President Joe Biden's lack of mental acuity. The only problem: he then immediately got confused on the name of the doctor who oversaw the test. Trump extolled his powers of mental recall in a speech to hard-right allies in Detroit, challenging Biden to take the same cognitive exam he says he underwent in 2018 with then White House physician Ronny Jackson. However, he immediately flubbed the name of the former official, wh...

Detroit (AFP) - Donald Trump met with Black voters Saturday as he courted a community that largely supported his rival Joe Biden four years ago but has seen notable numbers of African Americans shift allegiance ahead of November's presidential rematch. But the Republican former president also attended another campaign event later in the day with a more right-leaning audience, a gathering of the controversial conservative group Turning Point Action. Trump used his first appearance, at the 180 Church in Detroit, the largest city in the critical battleground state of Michigan, to suggest he may ...

West Palm Beach (United States) (AFP) - Donald Trump, whose attempted White House return is based in part on attacking President Joe Biden as old and feeble, turned 78 Friday -- just three years younger than his election rival -- with growing questions over his own health. Whoever wins the November election will set a new age record. At 81, Biden is already the oldest man to hold the office and would continue to be so, while if Trump wins, he would become the oldest ever at an inauguration. Trump, aided by the right-wing media ecosystem, has carefully worked to build an image of vigor, in atte...

Washington (AFP) - Republicans in the US Senate on Thursday blocked a bill recognizing a legal right to in vitro fertilization, introduced as part of a Democratic drive to underline threats to reproductive freedoms ahead of November's elections. The legislation would have established a federal right to IVF -- an infertility treatment combining an egg with sperm in a lab -- and for providers to offer the procedure, with expanded insurance coverage to lower costs. The vast majority of Americans tell pollsters IVF is morally acceptable, but the country is divided over the destruction of frozen hu...

The meeting, followed by a separate afternoon get-together with the party's senate contingent, was Trump's first on Capito...

Los Fresnos (United States) (AFP) - Behind metal fences topped with barbed wire, men play volleyball and basketball at a detention center in Texas, passing time as they wait to hear if they will be allowed to stay in the United States. They are among more than 1,000 men housed at this former naval base in the US city of Los Fresnos, just a few miles from the Mexican border, which they all crossed illegally. Tens of thousands of people walk into America every week through informal crossing points along the 2,000-mile (3,000-kilometer) frontier, bringing hopes and dreams from Latin America, Afri...
