New York (AFP) - Donald Trump rolled the dice on a campaign stop in deepest Democratic New York Thursday seeking to woo Black and Latino voters whose support for Joe Biden has shown signs of faltering. The event, in the Bronx where the Republican was trounced in 2020, follows a trend of Trump sorties into traditionally liberal states, most recently in New Jersey and Minnesota. But his speech in the South Bronx was more about signaling that he can draw large crowds among the Hispanic and African-American coalition seen as crucial to Biden's hopes of retaining the White House. Though the crowd w...

Washington (AFP) - The US Senate on Thursday rejected sweeping immigration reforms for the second time this year as Republicans again blocked what would have been the toughest border security package in decades, dismissing it as a Democratic "gimmick." Polling invariably shows immigration as a priority for voters ahead of November's presidential rematch between President Joe Biden and his Republican rival Donald Trump, with illegal crossings at historic highs. The Border Act, hammered out by both sides over months of negotiations, initially had broad support but was killed by Republicans in Fe...

Washington (AFP) - The US Supreme Court on Thursday rejected a challenge to a congressional map in the southern state of South Carolina that civil rights groups said was improperly drawn along racial lines. The case touching on the thorny issues of race and politics could help determine whether Democrats or Republicans control the House of Representatives next year. In a 6-3 vote, the conservative-dominated top court ruled that a congressional district map drawn by the Republican-majority legislature in South Carolina was not an unconstitutional racial gerrymander. The case was one of several ...

Miami (AFP) - A Florida judge held hearings on Wednesday on bids by former president Donald Trump and his co-defendants to dismiss the charges they face for allegedly mishandling classified documents. The hearings were held in Fort Pierce, Florida, before District Judge Aileen Cannon, who has indefinitely postponed Trump's criminal trial in the case. Lawyers for Trump, who is seeking to recapture the White House in November, and his co-defendants -- his valet Walt Nauta and Mar-a-Lago property manager Carlos De Oliveira -- have filed multiple motions seeking to have the case thrown out. Trump ...

Washington (AFP) - Former presidential hopeful Nikki Haley said Wednesday she will vote for Donald Trump in the US election, but said her one-time bitter rival would have to work to win over her moderate support base as he faces President Joe Biden in November. The former South Carolina governor, 52, abandoned her White House ambitions in March after suffering several heavy defeats in primary contests -- and had not previously indicated whether she would support the man who referred to her repeatedly as "birdbrain." Despite having made withering criticism of the scandal-plagued ex-president, H...

Washington (AFP) - Donald Trump drew disbelief -- and some support -- Wednesday after suggesting that standard language from an FBI search warrant executed in 2022 on his Florida mansion showed that President Joe Biden wanted armed agents to shoot him. Trump's latest incendiary claim was in response to a court filing outlining plans for the FBI search at the Mar-a-Lago club, where he kept classified national security documents after leaving the White House. The filing included standard FBI wording stating that agents are allowed to use deadly force if someone is in imminent danger. But Trump, ...

Miami (AFP) - Une juge de Floride (sud-est) n'a pas pris de décision mercredi après une audience consacrée à une nouvelle demande des avocats de Donald Trump d'abandonner les charges pesant contre l'ancien président américain dans l'affaire de sa présumée gestion négligente de documents secrets. Donald Trump, 77 ans, qui est actuellement jugé à New York dans une autre affaire pénale, pour des paiements dissimulés à une ancienne vedette de films X affirmant avoir eu une relation sexuelle avec lui, n'était pas présent à l'audience à Fort Pierce. Le candidat républicain à la présidentielle de nov...

Washington (AFP) - Donald Trump's social media account on Tuesday removed a video showing fake headlines about a "unified reich" if he wins the 2024 US election, as President Joe Biden accused his election rival of using "Hitler's language." Trump's campaign blamed an inattentive staffer for reposting the 30-second clip, which flashed a series of fictitious news stories painting a picture of American prosperity, with one including the term normally associated with Nazi Germany. Biden branded the staffer story a "lame" excuse and launched a full-court press over the latest friction point betwee...

Washington (AFP) - Donald Trump on Tuesday walked back remarks that he was open to restrictions on contraception, after an outcry that underlined his presidential campaign's vulnerability on reproductive rights issues. "I have never, and will never advocate imposing restrictions on birth control, or other contraceptives," Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform, using all caps. "I do not support a ban on birth control, and neither will the Republican Party!" Trump's post appeared to dial down an earlier comment that he was "looking at" the issue, and is the latest case of the former presiden...
