- 2:52Trump accepts nomination in marathon convention speechReuters VideosSTORY: “I proudly accept your nomination for president of the United States.” Former U.S. president Donald Trump on Thursday formally accepted the Republican Party’s nomination for president. His keynote address at the Republican National Convention comes just days after he narrowly escaped an assassination attempt in Pennsylvania, which Trump detailed in a 14-minute account. "I heard a loud whizzing sound and felt something hit me really, really hard on my right ear. I said to myself, 'Wow, what was that? It can only be a bullet." After a dramatic entrance, the former president struck a rare conciliatory tone up front. “I am running to be president for all of America, not half of America, because there is no victory in winning for half of America.” The message of unity didn’t last long however– and Trump soon pivoted to well-worn attacks on the Biden administration in a meandering 90-minute plus speech– the longest ever at a convention. Trump claimed without evidence that his criminal indictments are part of a Democratic conspiracy to prevent his election. He also warned that Joe Biden, his rival in the November election, would usher in "World War Three", while casting himself, as he has many times, as the only candidate capable of saving the country from certain doom. "I could stop wars with a telephone call." Trump devoted much of his speech to attacking migrants, a common theme in his presidential campaigns. "They're coming from everywhere. They're coming at levels that we've never seen before. It is an invasion indeed, and this administration does absolutely nothing to stop them. They’re coming from prisons. They’re coming from jails. They’re coming from mental institutions and insane asylums." Academic studies show that immigrants do not commit crime at a higher rate than native-born Americans. The speech capped a four-day event in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in which Trump’s grip on the Republican Party appeared tighter than ever. "God bless the United States of America, our great country. Thank you very much everybody." :: July 17, 2024 :: Dover, Delaware Biden, meanwhile, is isolating at his home in Delaware, with what his doctor said were mild symptoms of COVID-19. The president has faced mounting pressure from within his own party to drop out of the race since a shaky debate performance in late June. For weeks Biden has remained adamant that he will remain on the ticket, but he is now reportedly taking calls to step aside seriously. One source said he was ‘soul searching’ about whether to withdraw from the race. Multiple Democratic officials think an exit is only a matter of time, according to sources familiar with the matter.19 hours ago

- 1:23Harris slams Trump, Vance at North Carolina rallyReuters VideosSTORY: :: July 18, 2024 :: Fayetteville, North Carolina :: Kamala Harris says JD Vance failed to mention 'extreme' and 'divisive' plans for a second Trump term :: Kamala Harris, U.S. Vice President :: "So, some of you may have heard Donald Trump's running mate deliver remarks at the Republican National Convention. :: "He did not talk about Project 2025, their 900 page blueprint for a second Trump term. He did not talk about it because their plans are extreme and they are divisive. In recent days, they've been trying to portray themselves as the party of unity. But here's the thing. Here's the thing. If you claim to stand for unity, you need to do more than just use the word." "You cannot claim to be for unity if you try to overturn a free and fair election, and threaten to terminate the United States Constitution. And you cannot claim to be for unity when your entire economic agenda is designed to prioritize billionaires and big corporations over the middle class." Harris attended a campaign rally in Fayetteville, North Carolina, while president Joe Biden isolated after testing positive for COVID-19 on Wednesday (July 17). This is Harris's 15th trip to North Carolina since she took office in 2020. Biden's reelection bid faced fresh turmoil after reports that top Democratic leaders had privately pushed the 81-year-old incumbent to end his campaign, while Donald Trump, 78, was set to accept the Republican presidential nomination on Thursday. A campaign official said on Tuesday that Harris had asked Trump's running mate, J.D. Vance, to join an Aug. 13 debate hosted by CBS. The two candidates spoke on Tuesday, the person said, but their teams still had not agreed on debate terms.1 day ago

- 1:26Rwanda's Kagame wins landslide re-election: commissionReuters VideosSTORY: Rwanda's President Paul Kagame has been re-elected with 99.18% of the vote, the National Electoral Commission said on Thursday (July 18). That result - off a reported turnout of 98% - gives him a fourth term and extends his near quarter of a century rule. And it's not exactly a surprising result. Kagame won more than 93% of the vote, according to the commission, in the previous three elections. He helped lead the rebel movement that ended Rwanda's 1994 genocide and has since been praised for rebuilding the country of 14 million people after that most horrific of chapters. The U.S. State Department and others have lauded the development of the economy. But Kagame's government has also been accused by Western nations and rights activists of muzzling the media, assassinating opponents, and backing rebel groups in neighboring Congo. The government has denied all accusations against it. Eight candidates, including some of Kagame's most vocal critics, were barred from the election with the commission citing reasons including missing and incomplete paperwork. During campaigning the president promised continued development and stability.2 days ago

- 1:37JD Vance accepts nomination as Trump's running mateReuters VideosSTORY: :: JD Vance accepts VP nomination, praises Trump and attacks Biden :: Milwaukee, Wisconsin :: July 17, 2024 :: JD Vance, Republican Vice Presidential Candidate "I'm overwhelmed with gratitude to say I officially accept your nomination to be Vice President of the United States of America." "I want all Americans to to go and watch the video of a would be assassin coming 1/4 of an inch from taking his life. Consider the lies they told you about Donald Trump, and then look at that photo of him defiant fist in the air when Donald Trump rose to his feet in that Pennsylvania field, all of America stood with him." "They said he was a tyrant. They said he must be stopped at all costs. But how did he respond? He called for national unity, for national calm, literally right after an assassin nearly took his life." "Now Joe Biden has been a politician in Washington for longer than I've been alive. 39 years old. Kamala Harris is not much further behind. For half a century, he's been the champion of every major policy initiative to make America weaker and poorer. And in four short years, Donald Trump reversed decades of betrayals inflicted by Joe Biden and the rest of the corrupt Washington insiders." "Our movement is about single moms like mine, who struggled with money and addiction but never gave up. And I'm proud to say that tonight my mom is here 10 years, clean and sober. Love you, Mom." In chronicling his hard scrabble journey from a difficult childhood to the U.S. Marines, Yale Law School, venture capitalism and the U.S. Senate, Vance, 39, introduced himself to Americans while using his story to argue he understands their everyday struggles. He accused "career politicians" like President Joe Biden - who Vance noted has been in politics longer than he has been alive - of destroying communities like his with ill-fated trade policies and foreign wars. In a sign of his potential value to the ticket, Vance also appealed to the working and middle classes in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin specifically - three Rust Belt swing states likely to decide the Nov. 5 election. In his speech Vance described his grandmother, "Mamaw," who raised him while his mother struggled with addiction, and acknowledged his mother Beverly, who was on hand to watch him speak. "I am proud to say that tonight my mom is here, 10 years clean and sober," Vance said. "I love you, Mom." A visibly moved Beverly Vance mouthed, "I love you, J.D.," while delegates gave her a standing ovation.2 days ago

That came during a campaign trail trip to Las Vegas. Earlier in the day he was seen shaking hands with diners at a restaurant. Biden was due to speak for UnidosUS, a Latino civil rights organization, when the CEO came on stage and announced he would not be attending the event. "He just tested positive for COVID. .... He said to tell my folks that we're not going to get rid of him that quickly." The U.S. President has since boarded Air Force One to return home to Delaware, where he'll self-isolate after experiencing mild symptoms.

On Wednesday - ABC News, citing sources, said Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer told Biden in a meeting Saturday it would be better for the country and the Democratic Party if he ended his re-election campaign. Schumer's office called the ABC report "idle speculation", and said Schumer, "conveyed the views of his caucus directly to President Biden.
