Harris stepped up in difficult situation, led historic campaign: Joe Biden

President Joe Biden on Wednesday applauded Vice President Kamala Harris for leading a historic campaign under extraordinary circumstances. What America saw today was the Kamala Harris I know and deeply admire. She's been a tremendous partner and public servant full of integrity, courage, and character, Biden said in a statement. Under extraordinary circumstances, she stepped up and led a historic campaign that embodied what's possible when guided by a strong moral compass and a clear vision for a nation that is more free, more just, and full of more opportunities for all Americans, he said. As I've said before, selecting Kamala was the very first decision I made when I became the nominee for president in 2020. It was the best decision I made. Her story represents the best of America's story. And as she made clear today, I have no doubt that she'll continue writing that story, he said. She will continue the fight with purpose, determination, and joy. She will continue to be a champi

Trump Media gains, even as Truth Social parent reports $19 mn loss

The parent company of Donald Trump's social networking site Truth Social lost USD 19.2 million in the last quarter, according to an earnings report released on the same day he won back the presidency. Trump Media and Technology Group reported late Tuesday that much of that loss stemmed from more than USD 12 million in legal fees, along with a decline in revenue, according to the surprise Election Day earnings report. Its stock price surged Wednesday but that was more likely due to Trump's defeat of Vice President Kamala Harris to retake the presidency than on its profit prospects. Trump created the company after he was banned from Twitter and Facebook following the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot. Revenue for the three-month period that ended on September 30 was just over USD 1 million, down nearly 6 per cent from a year earlier. Trump Media, based in Sarasota, Florida, has lost more than USD 363 million so far this year. Trump Media said some of its costs related to the launch of i

I am proud of VP Kamala Harris, says Indian American Congressman Ro Khanna

After her worst defeat in electoral history, Indian American Congressman Ro Khanna on Wednesday said that he is proud of Vice President Kamala Harris and one day Americans will recognise her blazing a trail. Harris, as a Democratic presidential nominee, lost to her Republican rival and now president-elect Donald Trump during the November 5 general elections. Today, I want to say I am proud of Kamala Harris, Khanna, 48, said. Representing Silicon Valley in the US House of Representatives, Khanna was re-elected for a fifth consecutive term on Tuesday. He grew up in Pennsylvania. As a young kid growing up in Bucks County, I would never have imagined an African and Indian American woman would become the nominee and get 48 per cent in Pennsylvania. Progress is hard. But one day Americans will recognise her blazing a trail, Khanna said. Khanna maintained that the Democrats, who have lost the White House along with the Senate and the House of Representatives, would bounce back soon. In 1

I concede election, but do not concede fight that fuelled campaign: Harris

Conceding her defeat in the elections to president-elect Donald Trump, Vice President Kamala Harris on Wednesday showed a combative mood by saying that she will not concede the fight that fuelled her presidential election campaign. While I concede this election, I do not concede the fight that fuels this campaign, Harris told thousands of her supporters at Howard University in Washington DC. This is a time to organise, to mobilise and to stay engaged for the sake of freedom and justice and the future that we all know, we can build together, Harris said in her remarks as she told her supporters that earlier in the day, she called Trump to congratulate him on his electoral victory. During the call, she said, she promised a peaceful transition of power. She noted that there is disappointment among her supporters. I get it, but we must accept the results of this election. I also told him that we will help him and that we will engage in a peaceful transfer of power, a fundamental princi

Donald Trump sowed doubts about voting until results showed him winning

President-elect Donald Trump and his Republican allies had spent months seeding doubt in the integrity of American voting systems and priming supporters to expect a 2024 election riddled with massive and inevitable fraud. The former president continued laying that groundwork even during a mostly smooth day of voting Tuesday, making unsubstantiated claims related to Philadelphia and Detroit and highlighting concerns about election operations in Milwaukee. Shortly before polls began closing, he took to his social media platform to announce, without providing details, A lot of talk about massive CHEATING in Philadelphia. The declaration produced immediate denials from city leaders who said there was zero evidence of any wrongdoing. Yet Trump's grim warnings abruptly ended in the later hours of the evening as early returns began tipping in his favour. During his election night speech, the president-elect touted a magnificent victory as he claimed ownership for the favourable results and

Democrats hoped Harris would rescue them, she called Trump to concede

Kamala Harris called President-elect Donald Trump on Wednesday to concede the election and congratulate him on his victory, according to a senior adviser to the vice president. The aide, who declined to be identified discussing a private conversation, said Harris talked about the need for a peaceful transfer of power. Harris, once viewed as a potential saviour for the Democratic Party after Joe Biden's reelection campaign stalled, is reckoning with a profound rejection by American voters in this year's presidential election. She trailed in every battleground state to Donald Trump, a man she described as an existential danger to the country's foundational institutions. And Trump appeared on track to win the popular vote for the first time in his three campaigns for the White House even after two impeachments, felony convictions and his attempt to overturn his previous election loss. Harris planned to deliver a concession speech Wednesday at 4 pm, her office announced. She'll speak

Biden, Kamala Harris, call Trump, congratulate him on his victory in polls

Vice President Kamala Harris on Wednesday conceded defeat in the US presidential election as she called up President-elect Donald Trump and congratulated on his victory. Trump won the US presidential election for a second term, handing a shock defeat to Harris, in one of the most remarkable comebacks in American electoral history after he was evicted from power four years back. Harris "called President-elect Trump to congratulate him on winning the 2024 presidential election," CNN reported, quoting an official in Harris' team. She discussed the importance of a peaceful transfer of power and being a president for all Americans, it said. Trump is the first president after Grover Cleveland 132 years ago to be evicted from the White House and return to it again four years later. Harris is expected to address her supporters a few hours later.
