Trump’s Madison Square Garden event features crude and racist insults

Donald Trump has hosted a rally featuring crude and racist insults at New York's Madison Square Garden, turning what his campaign had dubbed as the event where he would deliver his closing message into an illustration of what turns off his critics. With just over a week before Election Day, speakers at the rally on Sunday night (Monday morning AEDT) labelled Puerto Rico a "floating island of garbage", called Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris "the devil", and said the woman vying to become the first woman and Black woman president had begun her career as a prostitute. "I don't know if you guys know this, but there's literally a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean right now. I think it's called Puerto Rico," said Tony Hinchcliffe, a stand-up comic whose se...

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."

Rudy Giuliani must give control of luxury items and Manhattan apartment to Georgia election workers he defamed, judge rules

A US federal judge has ordered former Donald Trump attorney and New York mayor Rudy Giuliani to turn over all his valuable possessions and his Manhattan penthouse apartment to the control of Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, the Georgia election workers he defamed and to whom he now owes $US150 million ($224 million). Judge Lewis Liman of the federal court in Manhattan said Giuliani must turn over his interest in the property to the women in seven days, to a receivership they will control. The judge's turnover order of the luxury items is swift and simple, but the penthouse apartment will have its control transferred so Freeman and Moss can sell it, potentially for millions of dollars. Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani departs the US District Courthouse after he was...

How does the Electoral College work? Explaining the centuries-old system that decides the US election

When the United States heads to the polls for the election, the popular vote won't decide whether Kamala Harris or Donald Trump becomes president. Instead, it will be whoever wins the most Electoral College votes. It's a political system that's vastly different from our own here in Australia – and it's not without its critics. Here's how it works. It's not the popular vote that decides who wins the US election - its the votes of the Electoral College, like these ones. (AP Photo/Andrew Harnik) How does the Electoral College system work? Each state plus the District of Columbia is allocated a number of Electoral College votes. Whichever presidential candidate wins the popular vote in each state gets all of that state's electoral votes. There are...

Why the Harris campaign has spent $16 million on a Facebook page with 1000 followers

As Donald Trump and Kamala Harris feverishly chase undecided voters in the final stretch of the US presidential campaign, millions of people in battleground states are being served ads on Facebook and Instagram from an obscure page calling itself "The Daily Scroll." The social media ads, which are adorned with a nondescript logo resembling a pair of checkmarks, have promoted news articles from mainstream outlets including CNN, ABC and NBC, showing easing US inflation, cheaper insulin prices, and the consequences of state abortion bans. But the ads on Meta-owned platforms aren't being paid for by any news outlet — they're a product of Harris' presidential campaign, which has spent heavily on social media platforms and embraced influencers to power her online efforts against Trum...
