Trump files to block Kamala Harris from accessing Biden war chest as Musk U-turns on $45m pledge: Live

The Donald Trump campaign has filed a complaint against Kamala Harris accusing her of perpetrating “a $91.5m heist” by improperly accessing Joe Biden’s campaign funds after he stepped out of the race on Sunday.

In a complaint to the Federal Election Commission, Trump campaign’s general counsel David Warrington is seeking to block the transfer of funds, alleging that the “brazen money grab” was in violation of FEC campaign Act of 1971.

Democrats have shrugged off the complaint, not least because Harris was already on the ticket for fundraising by the Biden campaign team.

Calling the claim “baseless”, Charles Lutvak, a spokesperson for the Harris campaign, told the New York Times that “Republicans may be jealous that Democrats are energised to defeat Donald Trump and his MAGA allies”.

Meanwhile, Elon Musk has clarified that he is not donating $45m a month to Trump’s presidential campaign after all. “What’s been reported in the media is simply not true,” the tech billionaire told conservative commentator Jordan Peterson. Trump has been boasting about the perceived pledge, calling Musk a “brilliant guy”.

Clip resurfaces of Vance criticising Harris for being ‘childless’

04:55 , Namita Singh

Comments JD Vance made in 2021 questioning vice president Kamala Harris’ leadership because she did not have biological children have resurfaced, testing the young conservative senator in his early days campaigning as part of the Republicans’ presidential ticket.

During Mr Vance’s bid for the Senate in Ohio, he said in a Fox News interview that “we are effectively run in this country via the Democrats,” and referred to them as “a bunch of childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives and the choices that they’ve made and so they want to make the rest of the country miserable, too”.

He said that included Ms Harris, US transportation secretary Pete Buttigieg and representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a New York Democrat.

“How does it make any sense that we’ve turned our country over to people who don’t really have a direct stake in it?” asked Mr Vance, who is now Donald Trump’s running mate.

Ms Harris became stepmother to two teenagers when she married entertainment lawyer Douglas Emhoff in 2014. And Mr Buttigieg announced he and his husband adopted infant twins in September 2021, more than a month before Vance made those comments.

The clip has started to spread online, with Hillary Clinton sharing it in a Tuesday post on X and adding sarcastically “what a normal, relatable guy who certainly doesn’t hate women having freedoms”.

JD Vance has a walk-on song. It’s about ‘liberating’ America

Keen listeners at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee and Trump rally in Michigan this week may have noticed a subtle development on the campaign trail: JD Vance officially has a walk-on song.

On the surface, the track, 2005’s “America First” by country legend Merle Haggard, seems like a solid fit.

Trump to meet Netanyahu in Florida

04:14 , Namita Singh

Donald Trump will host Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu at his Palm Beach resort on Friday, said the Republican presidential nominee on Tuesday.

“Looking forward to welcoming Bibi Netanyahu at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida,” the former US president said in a post on Truth Social, referring to the Israeli prime minister by his nickname.

The meeting will be their first since the end of Trump’s presidency, during which the two forged close ties, and comes at a time of strains also between Mr Netanyahu and Democratic president Joe Biden over Israel’s war against Hamas militants in Gaza.

Late on Tuesday, Trump also posted a letter written to him by Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas from a day after the former US president had been shot at a rally in Pennsylvania.

Mr Abbas wished Trump “strength and safety,” according to the letter Trump posted. In the same post Trump also said that he looked forward to meeting Netanyahu and working toward achieving peace in the Middle East.

New poll: Harris leads Trump 44 % to 42% in US presidential race

03:30 , Reuters

Vice President Kamala Harris opened up a marginal two-percentage-point lead over Republican Donald Trump after President Joe Biden ended his re-election campaign and passed the torch to her, a Reuters/Ipsos poll found.

The poll, conducted on Monday and Tuesday, followed both the Republican National Convention where Trump on Thursday formally accepted his party’s nomination and the Biden announcement on Sunday he was leaving the race and endorsing Harris.

Harris, whose campaign says she has secured the Democratic nomination, led Trump 44% to 42% in the national poll, a difference within the 3-percentage-point margin of error.

Harris and Trump were tied at 44% in a July 15-16 poll, and Trump led by one percentage point in a July 1-2 poll, both within the same margin of error.

While nationwide surveys give important signals of American support for political candidates, just a handful of competitive states typically tilt the balance in the US Electoral College, which ultimately decides who wins a presidential election.

The most recent poll showed 56% of registered voters agreed with a statement that Harris, 59, was “mentally sharp and able to deal with challenges,” compared to 49% who said the same of Trump, 78.

Only 22% of voters assessed Biden that way.

Biden, 81, ended his reelection effort after a debate with Trump in which he often stammered and failed to aggressively challenge attacks by Trump that included falsehoods.

When voters in the survey were shown a hypothetical ballot that included independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Harris led Trump 42% to 38%, an advantage outside the margin of error. Kennedy, favored by 8% of voters in the poll, has yet to qualify for the ballot in many states ahead of the Nov. 5 election.

The poll, which was conducted online, surveyed 1,241 U.S. adults nationwide, including 1,018 registered voters.

Trump blames Biden/Harris for not protecting him from assassination attempt

01:30 , Oliver O’Connell

Donald Trump is now blaming President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris for “not properly protecting” him during a campaign rally in Pennsylvania where a gunman fired at the former president and killed an attendee.

Trump’s allies have floated baseless and dangerous conspiracy theories about an assassination plot orchestrated by the administration, or debunked claims the Biden administration had rejected pleas from the former president for extra security.

On his Truth Social, Trump revived those claims by directly placing the blame on the president and his likely Democratic rival for the presidency for the threat to his life.

Ohio state senator issues groveling apology for ‘civil war’ remark

An Ohio state senator has issued a groveling apology after he said it would take “a civil war” to save the country if Republicans lose to Democrats in the 2024 presidential election.

At a rally in Middletown, Ohio, on Monday, Republican state Senator George Lang took to the stage before Ohio Senator JD Vance, Donald Trump’s newly-named running mate.

Lang’s remarks began with chants of “Fight! Fight! Fight!” – echoing Trump’s chant in the immediate aftermath of an assassination attempt – before he dived into his speech in support of Vance and the former president.

Trumpworld insists the game hasn’t changed with Biden dropping out – and hits Harris on immigration

Tuesday 23 July 2024 22:59 , Oliver O’Connell

Former president Donald Trump and his Republican allies are planning to go all-in on attacking Vice President Kamala Harris on immigration as she becomes the presumptive Democratic nominee for president.

Harris has seen overwhelming support from Democratic elected officials, activists and labor leaders after President Joe Biden announced he would not see re-election and endorsed her.

But the Trump campaign has sought to hit Harris for her record and tie her to Biden’s immigration policies, which polling showed voters overwhelmingly trust Trump to handle more than Democrats.

‘Can you believe they put that thing in writing?’: Kamala Harris links Trump to Project 2025 in debut rally

Tuesday 23 July 2024 22:30 , Oliver O’Connell

In her first campaign rally as the presumptive Democratic nominee to face Donald Trump, vice president Kamala Harris took aim at her Republican rival and a widely derided Trump-linked platform that provides a blueprint for the next GOP administration.

“Donald Trump wants to take our country backward,” she said in remarks from Milwaukee on Tuesday, just two days after President Joe Biden ended his re-election campaign and endorsed his vice president.

Harris, who secured enough delegate pledges to clinch the Democratic Party’s nomination within a little over 24 hours after announcing her candidacy, linked Trump to Project 2025, the Heritage Foundation-backed plan for his administration, and one that his campaign is now furiously trying to distance itself.

Trump appeals ‘egregious’ $454m civil fraud verdict

Tuesday 23 July 2024 21:30 , Oliver O’Connell

Donald Trump is seeking to overturn the $454m New York civil fraud ruling that threatens his financial health as he makes his third bid for the White House.

In February, Justice Arthur Engoron hit the former president, his sons Eric and Donald Trump Jr, and top executives at the Trump Organization with the multi-million-dollar judgment after finding that they lied to banks and insurers by inflating his net worth in order to secure more favorable loans.

On Monday, Trump’s legal team appealed the judgment, slamming it as “egregious”, “erroneous” and “draconian” and claiming that it handed New York Attorney General Letitia James “limitless power”.

Fox News host slams ‘cutesy’ and ‘ridiculous’ attacks on Trump’s age — despite years of similar attacks on Biden

A Fox News host has claimed it’s “ridiculous” for Democrats to question Donald Trump’s age – despite the 78-year-old ex-president being the oldest presidential nominee in US history after Joe Biden dropped out of the race for the White House.

Less than 24 hours after the 81-year-old president stepped off the Democratic ticket on Sunday Kamala Harris, 59, has secured enough delegates to be nominated as the party’s presidential candidate. That has led Democrats to pounce on Trump and his age — a tactic straight out of the GOP playbook against Biden.

Project 2025 — a blueprint for Trump’s presidency spearheaded by the Heritage Foundation and more than a dozen former Trump administration officials — is essentially a wishlist for his administration with plans to expand his executive authority, replace civil servants with ideologically aligned appointees, crush abortion rights and impose an anti-immigrant agenda, among other policies.

Following President Joe Biden’s announcement on Sunday that he would be stepping aside to let Vice President Kamala Harris mount her own bid for the Oval Office, Harris posted on X and took direct aim at the right-wing agenda.

At yesterday’s Oversight Committee hearing, Director Cheatle instilled no confidence that she has the ability to ensure the Secret Service can meet its protective mission. Egregious security failures leading up to and at the Butler, Pennsylvania campaign rally resulted in the assassination attempt of President Trump, the murder of an innocent victim, and harm to others in the crowd. While Director Cheatle’s resignation is a step toward accountability, we need a full review of how these security failures happened so that we can prevent them going forward. We will continue our oversight of the Secret Service in support of the House Task Force to deliver transparency, accountability, and solutions to ensure this never happens again.

Trump appeals ‘egregious’ $454m civil fraud verdict

Tuesday 23 July 2024 14:45 , Oliver O’Connell

Donald Trump is seeking to overturn the $454m New York civil fraud ruling that threatens his financial health as he makes his third bid for the White House.

In February, Justice Arthur Engoron hit the former president, his sons Eric and Donald Trump Jr, and top executives at the Trump Organization with the multi-million-dollar judgment after finding that they lied to banks and insurers by inflating his net worth in order to secure more favorable loans.

On Monday, Trump’s legal team appealed the judgment, slamming it as “egregious”, “erroneous” and “draconian” and claiming that it handed New York Attorney General Letitia James “limitless power”.

Tuesday 23 July 2024 14:15 , Joe Sommerlad

Republican populist Marjorie Taylor Greene fired off a string of tweets attacking Cheatle as she was grilled by House members yesterday.

“I’ve never seen a more incompetent woman in my life. Cheatle should have resigned,” Greene, who sits on the Oversight Committee, said of the Secret Service Director in a post shared on X during the hearing.

“Instead she’s covering it all up, refusing to answer questions and hand over information.”

Tuesday 23 July 2024 13:45 , Joe Sommerlad

Conservative social media users have been astonished to find that they “actually agree” with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez after she laid into the head of the Secret Service over the failed assassination attempt on Trump.

The New York Democrat known for her progressive activism, blasted the lengthy time taken to prepare a report on the recent assassination attempt on Trump as “not acceptable.”

Secret Service Director on Trump shooting: ‘We failed’

Tuesday 23 July 2024 13:15 , Joe Sommerlad

Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle admitted on Monday that her agency failed to protect Trump from the assassination attempt at his rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, 10 days ago, calling it the “most significant operational failure… in decades.”

Cheatle was grilled by House Oversight Committee members at a contentious hearing over the blunders that allowed gunman Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, to scale a roof and open fire with his father’s AR-15 assault-style rifle.

Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have come out demanding Cheatle step down as the agency’s leader.

Scarborough says Trump is ‘freaking out’ over Biden’s withdrawal

Tuesday 23 July 2024 12:45 , Joe Sommerlad

Morning Joe presenter Joe Scarborough has claimed that Donald Trump and the Republican Party are “freaking out” over Biden’s decision to withdraw his re-election bid, an opinion certainly supported by Trump’s latest Truth Social ravings.

Reacting to the news of Biden’s abdication on Monday’s instalment of the MSNBC program, the former congressman said: “I’ve heard from inside the Trump campaign for some time right now that the one thing Donald Trump feared was not having Joe Biden to run against.

“If you talk about boxing, he was used to going against Biden, right? So, what have they done? They’ve switched it up – it’s going to be a southpaw now.”

Boebert demands ‘proof of life’ from Biden

Tuesday 23 July 2024 12:15 , Joe Sommerlad

Republican firebrand Lauren Boebert has demanded “proof of life” from Joe Biden in a bizarre rant following the president’s announcement that he is dropping his re-election campaign.

The attention-seeking Colorado Congresswoman, who has gloated at Biden’s leaving the White House race, said she wanted confirmation that the commander-in-chief was really still alive.

Trump campaign releases update on ear injury

Tuesday 23 July 2024 11:15 , Joe Sommerlad

The Republican nominee’s campaign has released an update on the candidate’s, a little over a week after he survived an attempted assassination at a MAGA rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

The memo, from Texas Congressman Ronny Jackson, who served as Trump’s White House physician, offers new details on the nature of the GOP nominee’s injuries and the treatment he received in the immediate aftermath of the attack.

According to Jackson, Trump sustained a gunshot wound to the right ear from a high-powered riffle that came “less than a quarter of an inch from entering his head, and struck the top of his right ear.”

Trump and Vance trash Biden after calls for unity: ‘He draws flies’

Tuesday 23 July 2024 09:45 , Joe Sommerlad

The Republican nominee and his running mate gave a joint interview to Jesse Watters of Fox News last night in which they were inevitably cruel about Joe Biden (remember last week’s post-shooting “unity” message?), conspiratorial about the FBI and backslapping towards each other.

Trump campaign advisers call Harris ‘dangerously liberal’

Tuesday 23 July 2024 07:56 , Namita Singh

The Trump campaign’s senior advisers have released a memo after Kamala Harris’ Wilmington visit, calling her “dangerously liberal” and saying she “is as bad, if not worse, than Joe Biden.”

“It’s a once-in-a lifetime opportunity to defeat not just one Democrat nominee for president, but two — in the same year!”

The advisers have called the change of Democrat candidate “a ploy to try and shake up the race” and said Ms Harris is just as responsible for Mr Biden’s policies at the US-Mexico border, which saw illegal crossing arrests reach record highs at the end of 2023.

In her first speech since being endorsed by Mr Biden to replace him as the Democratic nominee for November’s election, Ms Harris leaned into her prosecutor background to draw a contrast between herself and Trump, who has been convicted on 34 felony counts in a hush money case in New York.

“I took on perpetrators of all kinds,” Ms Harris said, adding, “I know Donald Trump’s type.”

Trump appeals against $454m New York civil fraud judgment

Tuesday 23 July 2024 07:32 , Namita Singh

Donald Trump has appealed against the New York court judgment that found him and his company guilty of committing $454m fraud in a civil suit.

Calling the judgement “draconian”, his lawyers argued that the “case violates centuries of New York case law”.

Earlier, in February, judge Arthur Engoron found the former president, his company and top executives, including Eric and Donald Trump Jr, guilty of deceiving banks and insurers to obtain favourable deals.

The judge found that the company benefited up to $354m through the scheme as he directed the company to pay $100m as interest in addition to the amount.

In an appeal filed on Monday, Mr Trump’s attorney argued that New York attorney general Letitia James’ lawsuit should have been promptly dismissed, the statute of limitations barred some allegations, that no one was harmed by Trump’s alleged fraud and that James’ involvement in private business transactions threatens to drive business out of the state.

In his first televised interview after an attempted assassination, Donald Trump argued that President Joe Biden did not need a robust security detail for his campaign rallies as the former president questioned why there weren’t “enough people” protecting him when shots were fired at one of his own.

“The problem is Biden doesn’t draw anybody. He draws flies,” said Trump, sitting beside his running mate JD Vance for their first interview together on Fox News on Monday.

“He draws nobody,” Trump said. “You don’t need very many people for that because he does not draw — 30 people show up. We have 55, 65,000 people.”

Trump’s mental health focus of George Conway’s ‘Anti-Psychopath PAC’

Tuesday 23 July 2024 02:30 , Oliver O’Connell

For weeks, reports abounded about President Joe Biden’s cognitive condition in the wake of his terrible performance at last month’s CNN presidential debate. With mounting pressure, finally, this weekend, he quit the presidential race.

But not nearly as much ink has been spilt on the mental condition of Donald Trump.

But as the former President accepted the Republican Party’s nomination for the third consecutive election, conservative attorney George Conway was determined to give him a diagnosis.

He added: “130 yards is like sinking a one-foot pot. It’s considered really close.”

Trump calls for investigation into Biden’s doctors as Vance claims Dems staged ‘coup’

Tuesday 23 July 2024 01:20 , Kelly Rissman

Donald Trump insisted that President Joe Biden’s doctors should be probed for giving him a “wonderful report” while his running mate JD Vance called for the 25th Amendment to be invoked in a new Jesse Watters Primetime interview.

Trump and the newly minted vice presidential candidate sat down with Watters for an interview just one day before Biden made the stunning announcement that he would not seek re-election in the face of mounting pressure from his own party to ditch the race. The historic move came weeks after a disastrous debate that stoked concerns about the 81-year-old’s advanced age and fitness for another four years in office.

During the Fox News interview — which will air in full on Monday — Watters asked Trump: “You’d investigate the people that hid Biden’s condition?”

Trump replied: “Look, you had people that lied to the American public…You ought to take a look at his doctors because his doctors keep giving him this wonderful report.”

“His doctor says he’s in good health … I don’t think he’s in good health,” Trump said.

ICYMI: Republicans seize on Biden announcement to demand he step down as president

Tuesday 23 July 2024 00:30 , Oliver O’Connell

More than five hours before Joe Biden announced he would abandon his re-election run and endorse Kamala Harris for the Democratic nomination, vice presidential candidate JD Vance was already posing disparaging “what-ifs” about the sitting president’s capacity for the job.

“If Joe Biden ends his reelection campaign, how can he justify remaining President?” Donald Trump’s 39-year-old running mate posted on social media. “Not running for re-election would be a clear admission that President Trump was right all along about Biden not being mentally fit enough to serve as Commander-in-Chief. There is no middle ground.”

Monday 22 July 2024 23:30 , Oliver O’Connell

Keen listeners at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee and Trump rally in Michigan this week may have noticed a subtle development on the campaign trail: JD Vance officially has a walk-on song.

On the surface, the track, 2005’s “America First” by country legend Merle Haggard, seems like a solid fit.

After all, it shares a name with one of Donald Trump’s signature slogans, and has lyrics that gel with his criticisms of foreign wars.
