Donald Trump News

Financial giants from Goldman Sachs & Co. to Morgan Stanley and Barclays Plc. are taking a fresh look at how a Donald Trump victory in November could play out in the bond market.

ABC News is all set to host the second US Presidential Debate on September 10. In a matter of nine weeks, the two candidates are expected to have a second face-off. David Muir and Linsey Davis will host the debate and the rules to participate in the debate have been confirmed. The location of the debate is yet to be confirmed. There are also reports that the two Vice-Presidential nominees will also have a debate soon. Many questions have also been raised if Biden will participate in the debate as many Democrats are calling for his replacement on the ballot box.

Joe Biden, fighting to save his endangered reelection effort, used a highly anticipated TV interview Friday to repeatedly reject taking an independent medical evaluation that would show voters he is up for serving another term in office while blaming his disastrous debate performance on a «bad episode» and saying there were «no indications of any serious condition.» «Look, I have a cognitive test every single day,» Biden told ABC's George Stephanopoulos, referring to the tasks he faces daily in a rigorous job. «Every day, I have that test. Everything I do. You know, not only am I campaigning, but I'm running the world.» The 81-year-old Biden made it through the 22-minute interview without any major blunders that would inflict further damage to his imperiled candidacy, but it appeared unlikely to fully tamp down concerns about his age and fitness for another four years and his ability to defeat Donald Trump in November.

Republican contender Donald Trump has said that he would announce the name of his running mate in two weeks. He did not confirm who he would choose, but Senators JD Vance, Marco Rubio, Tim Scott, and Governor Doug Burgum are among the options. In a television interview, the former president said that he has not made up his mind, but these people are under consideration. He also said in the first interview after the first presidential debate that he may wait until it is clear whether Joe Biden will be the Democrat nominee or not.

Joe Biden who were rooting for him these elections, are going through the same feeling you would go through while investing in a shaky bank. After the reigning President' dismal performance in the US Presidential Debate against a tough adversary, Donald Trump, many influential politicians, pollsters and analysts have called for Biden's resignation from the poll race.

Joe Biden defended his performance in the first US Presidential Debate and said that he had nearly fell asleep after undertaking foreign trips. He said that he needed some rest before the debate but could not afford to take it. The 81-year-old president faces opposition from his own party members who have asked him to step down in view of his disastrous performance in the debate. What is not known is that the president had 13 days to take rest after his visit to Italy to attend the G-7 summit.

Joe Biden's campaign is quietly testing the strength of Vice President Kamala Harris against former President Donald Trump in a head-to-head survey of voters, as Biden fights for his political future with a high-stakes news conference Thursday. The survey, which is being conducted this week and was commissioned by the Biden campaign's analytics team, is believed to be the first time since the debate that Biden's aides have sought to measure how the vice president would fare at the top of the ticket. It was described by three people who are informed about it and insisted on anonymity because of the sensitive nature of the information. They did not specify why the survey was being conducted or what the campaign planned to do with the results. It could be read as the team gathering information to present a case to the president that his path forward is slim, or to argue that Biden is still the strongest standard-bearer for his party. The effort comes as some longtime aides and advisers to Biden are said to have become increasingly convinced that he will have to step aside from the campaign, and in recent days have been trying to come up with ways to convince him that he should, The New York Times reported Thursday. A growing number of prominent lawmakers have called for Biden to drop out or suggest he should reconsider his plans to run.

Joe Biden has refused to pull out of the race for the White House in the most unambiguous words, some people believe that he would have to step aside sooner or later and it is not the question of if but when. In an article published in 'New York Post', journalist Henry Olsen wrote that a candidate can come back from a deficit of six points, but before the disastrous first presidential debate on June 27, Biden had the lowest job approval ratings of any first-term president in history. It would be difficult for him to make a comeback from where he is after the debate. The data leaked by Open Labs made it clear that the Democrat contender is behind or tied in normally Democratic states like Minnesota, New Mexico and Virginia. These data were consistent with a 6-point deficit, which is a 10.5-point drop from Biden’s 2020 victory margin. So, there is an uphill task for the incumbent president.

Joe Biden could make a decision within days whether to remain a candidate for reelection, said Hawaii's governor who participated in a recent meeting with Biden and other Democratic governors and whose family has known the president for years. And if Biden decides not to run, Hawaii Gov. Josh Green told The Associated Press on Saturday that he believes the president will designate Vice President Kamala Harris to replace him on the ticket. «I think the president stays in this race unless he feels that it is not winnable, or he feels that he has to hear other voices in his inner circle that he shouldn't run,» Green said. «If the president felt that he wasn't up to it and truly not up to it, he would step down.» «We'll probably know in the next couple of days how the president feels about all this,» he said.

Vice President Kamala Harris distancing herself from Joe Biden though she has hit the campaign trail for the incumbent president and the Democrat contender for the 2024 US Presidential Election? She tops the list of the probables if Biden pulls out of the race for the White House. This question was being asked because though she is campaigning for the Democrats, she mentioned Joe Biden's name only once in her about half an hour interview with 'Essence Fest'. The black women’s magazine held the event on Saturday in New Orleans. Kamala Harris has hit the headlines and many fellow Democrats have put pressure on Biden to withdraw and allow the vice president to challenge Republican contender Donald Trump since his reportedly pathetic performance on the June 27 presidential debate.

WASHINGTON—Facing an uncertain outcome in U.S. elections in November and no clear pathway to NATO membership for his country, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky appealed Tuesday in a speech at the beginning of the alliance summit to a traditional vision of U.S. leadership.

New York judge on Tuesday delayed Donald Trump's sentencing for his conviction on criminal charges stemming from hush money paid to a porn star until Sept. 18, after the former U.S. president asked for a chance to argue he should have been immune from prosecution. The sentencing had previously been set for July 11, just days before the Republican National Convention begins in Milwaukee on July 15. Trump is expected to be his party's nominee to challenge Democratic President Joe Biden in the Nov. 5 election. Trump faces an uphill battle getting the hush money conviction overturned, since much of the conduct at issue in the case predated his time in office. Trump's lawyers on Monday asked Justice Juan Merchan to allow them to argue his conviction in New York state court in Manhattan should be overturned due to the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling on July 1 that presidents are entitled to immunity from criminal prosecution for official acts. Prosecutors with Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's office said Trump's argument was «without merit,» but agreed to delay the sentencing to give Trump the chance to make his case. A Manhattan jury on May 30 found him guilty of falsifying business records to cover up his former lawyer Michael Cohen's $130,000 payment to adult film actress Stormy Daniels to stay quiet about an alleged 2006 sexual encounter until after the 2016 election, when Trump defeated Democrat Hillary Clinton.

WASHINGTON—As President Biden continues to grapple with the fallout from his bad debate against former President Donald Trump, more Democrats are publicly and privately suggesting Vice President Kamala Harris is the only viable replacement if Biden were to bow out of the race. The president has insisted he will not step aside, arguing he is best positioned to defeat Trump in November. But Democrats are nonetheless weighing the possibilities ahead, including the prospect that the party might find itself scrambling to nominate a successor if Biden, 81, is unable to overcome the increased skepticism from donors, party strategists and some Democratic lawmakers over his political future.

Joe Biden on Friday asserted that he is the presidential nominee of the Democratic party, he is in the race and will win the election again as he sought to clear all the doubts about the future of his candidacy for the November 5 elections. Over the past week, there has been speculation about him leaving the race, with increasing voices inside the party calling for his departure following his poor debate performance in Atlanta last week. On Friday, Biden sought to clear all such doubts. «We had a little debate last week. Can't say it was my best performance. But ever since then, there's been a lot of speculation. What's Joe going to do? Is he going to stay in the race? Is he going to drop out? What's he going to do? Well, here's my answer. I am running and going to win again,» Biden told his cheering supporters in the battle ground State of Wisconsin. «I am the sitting President of the United States of America, no small part because of you. That's not a joke. In 2020, you came through for me. I'm the nominee of the Democratic Party. I'm the nominee of this party because millions of Democrats like you just voted for me in primaries all across America. You voted for me to be your nominee. No one else. You, the votes. The voters did that,» he said during the rally.

Top crypto industry leaders reportedly met with a senior White House official in Washington on Wednesday where they discussed their concerns about the Biden administration’s stricter crypto regulations and explored ways to improve their relationship.
