A presidential campaign unlike any other ends on Wednesday. Here’s how we got here

It's the election that no one could have foreseen. Not so long ago, Donald Trump was marinating in anger at Mar-a-Lago after being impeached twice and voted out of the White House. Even some of his closest allies were looking forward to a future without the charismatic yet erratic billionaire leading the Republican Party, especially after his failed attempt to overturn an election ended in violence and shame. When Trump announced his comeback bid two years ago, the New York Post buried the article on page 26. At the same time, Kamala Harris was languishing as a low-profile sidekick to US President Joe Biden. Once seen as a rising star in the Democratic Party, she struggled with both her profile and her portfolio, disappointing her supporters and delighting her critics. No one w...

50 states will vote in the US election. These seven battlegrounds are the only ones that actually matter

There might be 50 states in the United States, but only seven of them really matter in this year's presidential election. The small handful of key battleground states are the only contests in the nation where both Donald Trump and Kamala Harris are considered a genuine chance of winning, and thus hold the key to the presidential race. They certainly were in 2020 – while Joe Biden won the popular vote by about seven million ballots, it was winning Georgia, Arizona and Wisconsin by less than a combined 45,000 votes that sent him to the White House. Pennsylvania Electoral votes: 19 2020 result: Biden win 2016 result: Trump win Arguably the most important of the battlegrounds thanks to its 19 electoral college votes (one fewer than what it had in ...

US President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, convicted of all three felonies in federal gun trial

Hunter Biden, son of US President Joe Biden, could be sentenced just days before the US presidential election after he was convicted of all three felony charges related to the purchase of a revolver in 2018 when, prosecutors argued, he lied on a mandatory gun-purchase form by saying he was not illegally using or addicted to drugs. Jurors on Tuesday (early Wednesday AEST) found Hunter Biden guilty of lying to a federally licensed gun dealer, making a false claim on the application by saying he was not a drug user and illegally having the gun for 11 days. He stared straight ahead and showed little emotion as the verdict was read. After the verdict, he patted his defence attorney on the shoulder. He faces up to 25 years in prison when he is sentenced by Judge Maryellen ...

Rishi Sunak’s plan to make 18-year-olds do national service grabs attention on UK election trail

All 18-year-olds in Britain will have to perform a year of mandatory military or civilian national service if the governing Conservative Party wins the July 4 national election, the party has announced. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak pledged on Sunday to bring back a form of national service for the first time in more than 60 years, seeking to energise his election campaign after a faltering start. The UK introduced military conscription for men and some women during World War II, and imposed 18 months of mandatory military service for men between 1947 and 1960. Since then Britain has had an all-volunteer military whose size has steadily shrunk. Britain's Prime Minister and Conservative Party leader Rishi Sunak reacts as he meets with veterans at a community breakfast duri...
