- 2:19Trump: 'there will be no third debate' with HarrisReuters VideosSTORY: US Republican nominee Donald Trump said he would not take part in another debate with Kamala Harris before the November 5 election, with polls showing Harris had won Tuesday's ABC News Presidential Debate. He made that remark on his Truth Social site - and again at a campaign stop in Arizona: Trump: "So because we've done two debates and because they were successful, there will be no third debate." "As everyone saw two nights ago, we had a monumental victory over Comrade Kamala Harris in the presidential debate." Six Republican donors and three Trump advisers who spoke to Reuters disagreed. They said they believed Harris had won because the former president struggled to stay on message. Senator Lindsey Graham, a prominent Trump ally, publicly told reporters it was a "missed opportunity." At a rally soon after Trump's post went live Harris said the candidates had a responsibility for a second face-off: Harris: "I believe we owe it to the voters to have another debate. Because this election and what is at stake could not be more important.” According to Nielsen data, an estimated 67 million people watched the debate. A majority of debate watchers said Harris outperformed Trump, according to a CNN flash poll released shortly afterward. And, among voters who said they had heard at least something about Tuesday's debate, 53% said Harris won, while 24% said Trump won, according to a Thursday Reuters/Ipsos poll. However the poll found voters continue to favor Trump over Harris on the economy. Clifford Young, Ipsos president of U.S. public affairs, says he thinks there may not be much of a 'debate bump' for Harris. Young: "What we're finding right now is a lot of stability, right? We find at the national level that Harris is in the lead relative to Trump. But on those key fundamentals issues like the economy and inflation, Trump ultimately has the lead. At this point, we're at a stasis moment where at the national level, she's in the lead. But things have not really changed all that much." The poll also found that 54% of registered voters thought one debate between Trump and Harris was enough, while 46% wanted a second.16 hours ago

- 2:23Taylor Swift wins seven VMAs, tying Beyonce for lifetime leadReuters VideosSTORY: Pop megastar Taylor Swift made history at the MTV Video Music Awards on Wednesday (September 11). She took home seven trophies, tying her with Beyonce for the most lifetime honors in the show's 40-year history. Swift snagged top prize for the third time in a row taking Video of the Year for her bleak, black-and-white video “Fortnight” featuring Post Malone. She thanked her boyfriend Travis Kelce as she accepted: “Something that I’ll always remember is when I would finish a take and I’d say cut, and we’d be done with that take, I would always just hear like someone cheering (and clapping) like from across the studio where we were shooting it. And, that person was my boyfriend Travis.” It also came off the back of the singer's endorsement for Democrat candidate Kamala Harris in a Tuesday Instagram post. “Thank you to MTV for giving me this opportunity to thank the fans, to thank you for what you've done. And the fact that this is a fan-voted award and you voted for this. I appreciate it so much. And if you are over 18, please register to vote for something else that's very important for me. It's the 2024 U.S. presidential election. I love you. Show so much. Thank you for this moment.” By the end of the night, Swift's VMA tally was 30, equaling Beyoncé's record – her other awards on Wednesday included Artist of the Year and Song of Summer. Among other winners, Chappell Roan, one of this year's breakout stars, was named best new artist, dedicating her award to the LGBTQ+ community. “I dedicate this to all the drag artists who inspire me, who inspire me, and I dedicate this to queer and trans people that fuel pop, to the gays who dedicate my songs to someone they love or hate.” Katy Perry, recipient of the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award, gave a ten-minute greatest hits performance including "Teenage Dream" and "Firework”.

- 1:08Trump trades roiled after debate with HarrisReuters VideosSTORY: U.S. presidential betting markets swung in Kamala Harris’s favor following her debate with Donald Trump. And investors scrambled to shift their positioning on Wednesday. Shares of Trump Media & Technology Group, the company that owns Truth Social, plunged as much as 18% in Wednesday morning trading. Trump has a more than 50% stake in the company, which has a total market value of $3.7 billion. Its shares are popular among retail traders and sensitive to the former president's chances of a win in the 2024 election. Cryptocurrency-related stocks also fell. Trump has positioned himself as a pro-bitcoin candidate whose return could mark a win for the industry that has accused the current administration of regulatory overreach. One strategist told Reuters that crypto and energy stocks might face headwinds as market sentiment adjusts to the shifting political dynamics. Though one type of energy company did see stock gains… solar firms... as they are seen as benefiting from a Harris win in November.2 days ago

- 3:53Kamala Harris puts Donald Trump on defensive in fiery debateReuters VideosSTORY: :: ABC News Presidential Debate It was a fiery clash at the ABC News Presidential Debate Tuesday night... “Wait a minute. I'm talking now, if you don't mind, please.” ... with Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Kamala Harris both seeking campaign-altering moments in their closely fought election. It was a combative back-and-forth clash over immigration, foreign policy and healthcare, but the debate was light on specific policy details, with Trump seemingly on the defensive as Harris peppered him with jabs about his fitness for office. At one point she goaded him saying audiences at his rallies often left out of boredom. Trump - who has been frustrated over the size of Harris' own crowds - fired back: "We have the biggest rallies, the most incredible rallies in the history of politics.” Before pivoting into a false claim about immigrants eating pets in Springfield, Illinois that was seized on by thousands of social media posts: TRUMP: "In Springfield, they're eating the dogs. The people that came in, they're eating the cats. They're eating. They're eating the pets of the people that live there. And this is what's happening in our country. And it's a shame." HARRIS: “Talk about extreme.” There's less than eight weeks to go before the election, and only days until early voting starts in some states. That made this one of the best chances for the candidates to state their case to tens of millions of voters. It was especially important for Harris, as opinion polls show more than a quarter of likely voters feel they do not know enough about her. She entered the race only seven weeks ago after President Joe Biden's exit. As questions veered toward policy approaches, Harris served up a lengthy attack on abortion limits – a key election issue. Since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned abortion rights in 2022 - statewide bans on abortion have proliferated. Women have been denied emergency care, and victims of incest were unable to terminate their pregnancies. "Trump abortion bans that make no exception even for rape and incest, which - understand what that means - a survivor of a crime, a violation to their body, does not have the right to make a decision about what happens to their body next. That is immoral." However, Trump claimed he believed in exceptions for abortion, a position he compared to President Ronald Reagan. Harris also claimed Trump would support a national ban, an assertion Trump called a lie, while declining to say explicitly that he would veto such a law. The pair clashed over Harris’ racial identity at one point, after an event moderator asked Trump about an event in July when he told Black journalists Harris had recently "become a Black person." TRUMP: "Whatever she wants to be is okay with me. But those were your words, so I don't know. I don't know. I mean, all I can say is I read where she was not black that she put out, and I'll say that. And then I read that she was Black. And that's okay. Either one was okay with me. That's up to her. That's up to her." HARRIS: "Honestly, I think it's a tragedy that we have someone who wants to be president, who has consistently, over the course of his career, attempted to use race to divide the American people.” The two candidates are effectively tied in the seven battleground states likely to decide the election, according to polling averages compiled by the New York Times. During the debate, online prediction market PredictIt's 2024 presidential general election market showed Trump’s likelihood for victory dropping to 47% from 52%. Harris' odds improved to 55% from 53%. In a boost to the Harris campaign, pop megastar Taylor Swift told her 283 million followers on Instagram immediately after the debate that she would back Vice President Harris and her running mate Tim Walz in the Nov. 5 election. She signed it "childless cat lady," a reference to controversial remarks made by Trump's running mate JD Vance.2 days ago

(Journalist: Are you a fan?) At my own peril, I will say nothing but, are you kidding? Absolutely, unequivocally, yes. Look, she is a cultural icon. Something big has happened in the world in terms of the energy and vibrancy she's associated with, the optimism she's associated with. That was a big deal as well.

Look, this is very much two different visions for our country. Ours, which is a vision for the future. And his speeches about the past and taking us backward. And as I said on the debate stage, “we are not going back”. "This is a campaign born out of love of country. We love our country. We believe in who we are. We believe in the American people. This is a campaign about bringing folks together, knowing the vast majority of us have so much more in common than what separates us. It is about inclusion and it is not about division, and it is not about demeaning and name calling. It is about lifting folks up. Working folks, families, children, people who are just not just trying to get by, but trying to get ahead. That's what we stand for. So let's get out of here for these next 56 days. Hard work is good work, and we will win! We will win!" Harris expressed confidence, calling it a "good day," but reminded the crowd that 56 days remained until the election, emphasizing that "there's still a lot of work to do." Joined by her husband, Douglas Emhoff, Harris thanked attendees for their efforts and stressed the importance of winning Pennsylvania, a key swing state that President Joe Biden carried in 2020. During the debate, Harris put Trump on the defensive with a stream of attacks on abortion limits, his fitness for office and his myriad legal woes, as both candidates sought a campaign-altering moment in their closely fought election. A former prosecutor, Harris, 59, appeared to get under the former president's skin repeatedly, prompting a visibly angry Trump, 78, to deliver a series of falsehood-filled retorts.3 days ago
