Kamala Harris intends to ‘beat Trump’ if nominated…

Thank you for joining us this evening full of surprises and we will see you early in the morning for a new life. Good night !

The Trump camp wasted no time in retooling its campaign. A first anti-Harris ad was seen a few minutes ago on the networks. A 30-second spot, which specifically claims she was covering for Biden’s mental decline, would have been paid for by the MAGA Inc Political Action Committee, CNN claims.

If, as you read this live, you feel like filing to replace Biden, know that there are rules that must be followed to run for the Democratic nomination. First, those that apply to any US president, regardless of his party: being 35 years of age or older, being a US citizen at birth, having resided in the country for at least 14 years, and not having already been elected twice. Then there are the rules for this inauguration: to have collected at least 300 signatures from delegates from several US states, to be an “authentic Democrat” and to have gathered “substantial support for your nomination” in the presidential election.

If today Donald Trump calls her “crazy”, about ten years ago he supported her. CNN noted that the Republican donated about $6,000 to Kamala Harris to support her campaign for California attorney general.

You can come across them on the networks, like here. To show their support for Kamala Harris, many internet users are sending an emoji of coconut trees. A reference to a phrase uttered by the vice president in May 2023 that went viral. “Do you think you fell out of a coconut tree? You exist in the context of everything you experience and what came before you,” she said, reminding us that not all students have the same chances of success depending on that environment , they grew up in.

To show their support for Kamala Harris, thousands of internet users have dug up, commented and liked a tweet from January 2021, the start of her vice presidency, in which she wrote “Ready to serve”.

Vice President Kamala Harris reportedly only heard about Biden’s decision this Sunday. At least that’s what the New York Times says, which specifies that most of the president’s team was only informed at the very last minute.

Jill Biden, the president’s wife, responded on her personal X account to her husband’s letter. A little double heart emoji which elicited 200,000 likes from internet users in a matter of hours.

The US president has announced that he will not run for re-election, but the international reactions are more reminiscent of those dealt with at the end of a mandate. The latest, that of Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, who praised Joe Biden’s “leadership” and his commitment to “democratic values, international security, economic prosperity and climate action for current and future generations.

What are the key steps that led Biden to this decision? The news site Axios has made a very clear timeline (but in English) to summarize the course of events – from the debate at the end of June to Adam Schiff’s appeal – which weighed heavily.

We often talk about the US president’s string of blunders to explain the pressure that ordered him not to run, but the turmoil was deeper. Some explanations in the article below:

The Canadian neighbors also have a little word for the outgoing man. “I have known President Biden for years. He is a great man and everything he does is guided by his love for his country. As President, he is a partner to Canadians and a true friend,” wrote Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on X.

Nancy Mace, a Republican elected official, announced she would introduce a resolution Monday calling for the 25th Amendment to be invoked. She thus echoes other elected officials from the Grand Old Party, who mentioned the text as soon as Biden’s announcement. The 25th Amendment allows the vice president, with the support of cabinet members, to remove power from a president if the president is found unfit to hold office. The most used example is a president who is in a coma and can no longer make a decision.

“He looks forward to completing his term and achieving historic results for the American people,” White House spokesman Andrew Bates told CNN. And he will continue to fight to protect Americans’ liberties against sweeping abortion bans and attacks on the rule of law.”

A week after the assassination attempt on the Republican candidate, this new development can hardly be analyzed as good news for Trump’s supporters. We take stock in this article.

CNN got out the calculator and took the average of all the previous polls evaluating the outcome of a Harris-Trump duel in the US presidential election. Result: a neck-and-neck with no clear winner

With Joe Biden’s withdrawal, Donald Trump is on the verge of becoming the oldest presidential candidate in US history, Axios+ explains in a graph.

No time to lose for the Democratic presidential nominee. On X, she is calling for donations to fund her campaign, the heart of a transatlantic election. “If you’re with me, donate now,” she tweets.

Several heads of state publicly thanked the US president for his international achievements. It can be read here:

While announcing his withdrawal, Joe Biden officially installed Kamala Harris as the natural candidate for the Democratic nomination. But will Biden’s current vice president necessarily be the candidate chosen by Democratic delegates to challenge Donald Trump? Several other candidates emerge.
