Donald Trump was reported by the New York Times to be privately insulting Vice President Kamala Harris using vulgar and sexist language, leading to widespread condemnation and speculation from experts who say such attacks could cost him a key demographic.

According to the Times, "Indeed, Mr. Trump has often been in a foul mood the past few weeks. He has ranted about Ms. Harris. He has called her 'nasty,' on 'Fox & Friends,' and a 'b----,' repeatedly, in private, according to two people who heard the remark on different occasions."

This led former Bill Clinton White House aide Keith Boykin to say on his social media, "Trump called Kamala Harris 'a b----,' the New York Times reported today. Pretty sure that language is not going to help him win more women voters." ...

Donald Trump and his Republican allies have levied consistent attacks against President Joe Biden based on his age, but they are now less than enthusiastic after Biden dropped from the race and endorsed Kamala Harris, according to a GOP strategist.

Biden earlier on Sunday released a statement saying he would "stand down" from his campaign, and instead choose to focus on finishing out what's left of his term in office. He later endorsed Harris, which led to a swell of donations that one observer called "off the charts."

Washington (AFP) - The White House launched a fierce pushback Friday against a brutal special counsel report portraying Joe Biden as elderly and forgetful, describing it as a political hit-job on the president in an election year. US Vice President Kamala Harris called the stinging report "politically motivated" while White House spokesman Ian Sams branded it "gratuitous and inappropriate" as they sought to call its impartiality into question. Biden refused to answer questions on the report as he hosted German Chancellor Olaf Scholz in the Oval Office for talks on Ukraine Friday, but the night......
