Biden says of Trump: ‘We gotta lock him up … politically’

US President Joe Biden told New Hampshire Democrats today that "we gotta lock him up", referring to former president Donald Trump, before quickly adding, "politically lock him up". The president was co-opting a 2016 Trump campaign line that referred to Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton - rhetoric that this year's nominee, Vice President Kamala Harris, has discouraged on the campaign trail. Describing some of Trump's plans for a second term, Biden said, "I know this sounds bizarre – it sounds like if I said this five years ago, you'd lock me up. We gotta lock him up."

Israeli strike on school-turned-shelter in Gaza kills 27, two UN peacekeepers hurt in Lebanon

An Israeli strike on a school sheltering the displaced in the Gaza Strip has killed at least 27 people, Palestinian medical officials say. The Israeli military said its Thursday strike targeted militants hiding among civilians, without providing evidence. Israel has continued to strike at what it says are militant targets across the Palestinian enclave even as attention has shifted to its war against Hezbollah in Lebanon and rising tensions with Iran. The military launched a large-scale air and ground operation against Hamas in northern Gaza earlier this week. In a separate development, the UN peacekeeping force in southern Lebanon said an Israeli tank fired on its headquarters in the town of Naqoura, hitting an observation tower and wounding two peacekeepers, who we...

Kamala Harris’s pain-free campaign faces first crunch moment

In American politics it’s customary to suggest that most voters don’t start paying attention to the presidential election until after the Labor Day holiday weekend. Well, that occasion - seen here as the unofficial end of summer - has now been and gone. And as a noticeable chill is felt in the air, many more voters will start to take note of politics. That includes the crucial swing voters in a handful of closely contested states who will ultimately decide the race for the White House. Right on cue, as these eyes start to focus on the election, we have a presidential debate that will see Donald Trump and Kamala Harris go head-to-head for the first time. In fact, it will be the first time the two candidates have ever met in person. The high-stakes event in Philadelphia on Tuesday night ...

Harris and Trump squabble over muted mics at upcoming debate

The campaigns of Vice President Kamala Harris and former president Donald Trump are arguing over whether microphones should be muted except for the candidate whose turn it is to speak, in advance of their high-stakes September 10 debate. While it's common for campaigns to quibble beforehand over debate mechanics, both Harris and Trump are under pressure to deliver a strong performance next month in Philadelphia. The first debate during this campaign led to President Joe Biden's departure from the race. Trump on Sunday night raised the possibility that he might not show up on US network ABC, posting on his Truth Social network that he had watched the network's Sunday show with a "so-called Panel of Trump Haters" and posited, "why would I do the Debate against Kamala Harris on th...
