- 1:07Harris criticizes Trump as the ‘same old show’ at a rallyReuters VideosSTORY: :: Harris criticizes Trump’s debate performance as the ‘same old show’ at a Pennsylvania rally :: Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania :: September 13, 2024 “You'll remember that night I talked about issues that matter to families across America, like bringing down the cost of living, investing in America’s small businesses, protecting reproductive freedom. And keeping our nation safe and secure. But that is not what we heard from Donald Trump. Instead, it was the same old show, the same tired playbook we've heard for years with no plan, no plan on how he would address the needs of the American people. Well, folks, it's time to turn the page. Just turn the page.” “Someone who suggests we should terminate the Constitution of the United States of America, should never again stand behind the seal of the president of the United States. Never again.” Harris made several jabs toward the former U.S. President and Republican presidential nominee, Donald Trump, who she debated on Tuesday (September 10) at a high-stakes debate hosted by ABC News. Pennsylvania, considered a battleground state in the 2024 general election, has been a frequent stop on the campaign trail for both presidential candidates.6 hours ago

Both are against life. I cannot decide. I cannot say. I am not an American, and I will not be voting there. Expelling migrants, not giving them the possibility of working, not welcoming migrants is a sin. It is grave." (FLASH) "On abortion, science says that in the first month after conception, all the organs of a human being are already there, all of them. Performing an abortion is killing a human being. (FLASH) "Generally, it is said that not voting is ugly, it is not good; you must vote, and you must choose the lesser evil. Who is the lesser evil? That lady (Kamala Haris) or that gentleman (Donald Trump)? I don’t know; everyone in conscience (has to) think about it and do this (make a choice)." Pope Francis on Friday (September 13) criticised both former US President Donald Trump over his plan to deport millions of immigrants and US Vice President Kamala Harris over her pro-choice abortion stance. Asked about the U.S. presidential election on his flight back to Rome from Singapore, the pope said not welcoming migrants is a "grave" sin, and likened having an abortion to an "assassination".11 hours ago

- 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.1 day ago

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.

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.3 days ago
