2024 election was over, the then vice president Kamala Harris made the tough phone call to president-elect Donald Trump to concede the election. As expected, the call was tense and awkward, but new information from Chris Whipple's upcoming new book 'Uncharted: How Trump Beat Biden, Harris, and the Odds in the Wildest Campaign in History', highlighted just how uncomfortable the conversation actually was, as per a report. The call was arranged from her Naval Observatory residence in Washington D.C., with her campaign Chief of Staff Sheila Nix and White House Chief of Staff Lorraine Voles, reported Daily Mail. According to Whipple's book, «Nix called the president-elect on her cell phone — but for some reason couldn't merge the call with the vice president's phone. So Voles called Harris on hers — and she and Nix pressed the phones together,» quoted Daily Mail. After Trump picked up the call, Voles told Trump that, «The vice president is on the line,» as quoted in the report.

B Sai Sudharsan has been one of the most consistent batters in this IPL – 74, 63 and 49 in his three outings for Gujarat Titans so far. The left-hander spoke with Boria Majumdar about the team, dressing room culture, presence of Jos Butler and his India ambitions. Excerpts Q: You’ve been incredibly consistent this season. What’s the secret? A: I’m glad I’ve been able to make a difference to my team. I’d say I have understood the T20 game better in the course of the last year and know what I need to do to be consistent and not push things too much. I have worked hard and prepared very well and if I do what I know how to do, runs will surely come. Q: How is it opening the innings with your captain Shubman Gill and how is he as a leader? A: He’s an excellent leader of men. He gives you the freedom to say whatever you feel and batting with him is an absolute pleasure. With him at the other end, you know he will soak in the pressure and play some incredible shots. Your job becomes easier that way and you can just focus on your own thing. Q: Did you enjoy batting with Jos Butler, one of the best white-ball batsmen? A: Absolutely true. Jos is such a calming influence out there. You know there is someone who is in control. He will constantly encourage you and also make sure you don’t feel the pressure. He is a leader and you will know it if you bat with him. I have enjoyed every minute we have batted together and learnt a lot in the process.

Donald Trump antagonised world leaders across the globe with his most extensive set of tariffs yet, he was scheduled to fly to Florida and potentially see the one leader he has called his «favourite president». That leader, President Javier Milei of Argentina, had flown overnight to receive an award Thursday at a right-wing gala at Mar-a-Lago. Trump was scheduled to also be there late Thursday — Milei said Trump would receive an award, too — and Milei said he hoped the two would meet. It was Milei's 10th trip to the US in 15 months as president, and nearly every time, he has met Trump or Elon Musk. Trump has posited that he is reshuffling US foreign policy strictly around what is good for the United States. So what can be puzzling about his elevation of Argentina to the front row of America's allies — Milei and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni were the only world leaders onstage at Trump's inauguration — is that the chronically distressed South American nation is not particularly important as an economic or geopolitical partner. Instead, through Milei, Argentina has offered Trump something else he appears to crave: adoration. «I love him because he loves Trump,» Trump said of Milei in a speech last year. «Anybody that loves me, I like them.»
