Washington (AFP) - US President Joe Biden took aim Wednesday at Donald Trump, joking that when his rival famously remarked about injecting bleach to tackle Covid it instead went in his much-discussed hair. "Remember when he was trying to deal with Covid... He suggested just inject a little bleach in your veins," Biden said at a construction workers event in Washington. "He missed, it all went to his hair!" the Democrat quipped, eliciting a burst of laughter among the audience at North America's Building Trade Union, which has endorsed the 81-year-old in this year's election. Biden made a simi...

Washington (AFP) - US President Joe Biden hammered Donald Trump on Tuesday over his role in restricting abortion rights, telling a crowd in Florida that voters will hold his Republican predecessor and opponent personally "accountable" in November. Shortly after Trump departed the New York courtroom where he is on trial, the Democratic president -- whose campaign views the abortion issue as potentially key to winning reelection -- took the stage at a university in Tampa. "Let's be real clear. There's one person responsible for this nightmare. And he's acknowledged it and he brags about it: Dona...

Wilmington (United States) (AFP) - Donald Trump called off a rally on Saturday, the Republican candidate's first campaign event since his criminal trial in New York began this week, due to bad weather threatening the outdoor gathering. Thousands of supporters had gathered for the event at the airport in the North Carolina city of Wilmington when he called in 30 minutes before the scheduled start. "We want to make sure that everybody is safe above all and so they've asked us to ask people to leave the site and seek shelter," Trump said in the call broadcast over the loudspeakers, with thick da...

Schnecksville (United States) (AFP) - Donald Trump's mounting legal woes are just more reason to stick behind the former president, his ardent supporters told AFP on Saturday, just days before the Republican leader's historic criminal trial gets underway in New York. Gathered in the small Pennsylvania town of Schnecksville, his impassioned backers said Saturday they believe Trump will come out of the proceedings stronger than ever. The crowd, braving a chilly wind and some light rain, started gathering Saturday morning to hear the former president speak at night as he campaign once again for t...

Washington (AFP) - Extremely discreet in the White House and even more reserved since leaving Washington, Melania Trump is keeping observers guessing whether she will appear, however warily, on the campaign trail alongside her husband. Aloof and enigmatic, the Slovenian-born former model has been noticeably absent as husband Donald Trump makes his third bid for the White House. Nor has she attended any court hearings with her husband as he navigates a myriad of cases. His first criminal trial begins on Monday, and her plans remain unclear. Her absences are unusual in the United States, where t...

Miami (AFP) - Donald Trump on Friday threw a lifeline to embattled House Speaker Mike Johnson, saying the Republican congressional leader is doing "a very good job." Trump defended Johnson against a move by firebrand Republican congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, whom Trump labeled as a friend, to call a vote for his ouster. "It's not an easy situation for any speaker," Trump said, with Johnson standing near him at the former president's Mar-a-Lago estate. Johnson traveled to Florida on Friday to huddle with Trump in the latest sign of the hard-right presidential candidate's informal, yet u...

Washington (AFP) - Donald Trump has turned being a victim into a central plank of his campaign, an electoral strategy that will be put to the test Monday in Manhattan during the first ever criminal trial of a former US president. The 77-year-old Republican candidate has repeatedly denounced the numerous legal actions against him as political witch hunts brought by Democrats to derail his chances of recapturing the White House in November. Every day for months his campaign has sent supporters nearly a dozen emails and texts written in the billionaire's name, placing foremost emphasis on the cri...

Washington (AFP) - Donald Trump's campaign said it took in more than $50 million at a single fundraising event Saturday in Florida -- the latest salvo in a swaggering, high-stakes battle for big money with Joe Biden. While spending huge sums of money on campaigning may not be something to brag about in some countries, it's often a source of pride for US political candidates. And this year, raising big bucks is as important as ever, with the November 5 presidential election expected to be the most expensive electoral cycle in US history. The Republican former president and the Democratic incumb...

Washington (AFP) - Republican White House hopeful Donald Trump on Saturday compared himself to South African anti-apartheid icon Nelson Mandela, sparking quick and virulent criticism from President Joe Biden's campaign team. The 77-year-old Trump has been indicted in four different criminal cases, all of which could end in jail time for the billionaire real estate mogul. In one of those cases, he stands accused of paying hush money to a onetime porn star before the 2016 presidential election, which he won over Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton. That trial is set to begin on April 15, and J...

Washington (AFP) - You might argue it's a cruel joke no matter what side of American politics you fall on: Donald Trump sent a message to supporters Monday that appeared to announce he was suspending his reelection campaign, but it turned out to be an April Fools' fundraising bid. The former Republican president, who is seeking to evict his Democrat rival Joe Biden from the White House in November's vote, sent the abrupt message stating "I'm suspending my campaign" to supporters by email and text, accompanied by a link. But clicking on it took users to a site inviting them to donate money to ...
