Washington (AFP) - Joe Biden hopes to capitalize on Donald Trump being stuck in court as he hits the US presidential election campaign trail — and can't resist poking fun at his rival's predicament. While Trump was in his historic hush money trial this week, Biden embarked on a three-day swing through his birthplace, the crucial battleground state of Pennsylvania. He visited his childhood home and campaigned with the Kennedys, while Trump complained about being in a "freezing" New York courtroom unable to campaign. "Under my predecessor -- who's busy right now -- Pennsylvania lost 275,000 jobs...

Philadelphia (AFP) - The legendary Kennedy clan endorsed US President Joe Biden during a campaign trip to Philadelphia Thursday -- underscoring the election threat posed by family black sheep and independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. "I don't want to become emotional, but what an incredible honor to have the support of the Kennedy family," Biden, 81, said after 15 members of politically storied family backed the Democrat against Donald Trump. The Kennedy endorsement is also crucial amid fears that a strong showing by conspiracy theorist and vaccine-skeptic "RFK Jr" could tilt the electio...

Washington (AFP) - Joe Biden raised eyebrows when he hinted that cannibals on the island of New Guinea may have eaten his uncle's body after he was shot down during World War II. And the White House and official records indicated Thursday that -- as with many a family legend -- the facts may indeed be a bit different. Biden paid tribute to his uncle, 2nd Lieutenant Ambrose J. Finnegan, after visiting a war memorial during a campaign trip to the president's hometown of Scranton, Pennsylvania on Wednesday. The 81-year-old president, who was aged one when his uncle died in 1944, reached out to to...

By Andrew CABALLERO-REYNOLDS, avec Danny KEMP à Washington Philadelphie (États-Unis) (AFP) - Toute la légendaire famille Kennedy, ou "presque", a apporté jeudi un soutien très recherché au président Joe Biden, dont la campagne pour demeurer à la Maison Blanche est en partie fragilisée par la candidature rivale du neveu de "JFK", Robert Kennedy Junior. "Je ne veux pas être submergé par l'émotion, mais c'est un honneur extraordinaire d'avoir le soutien de la famille Kennedy", a déclaré Joe Biden, lors d'un meeting de campagne à Philadelphie. Pas moins de 15 membres du clan Kennedy ont affiché da...

Scranton (United States) (AFP) - Joe Biden made a campaign trip to his beloved birthplace Tuesday in Scranton, Pennsylvania, where he unleashed a blistering condemnation of Donald Trump as the tycoon languished in court. The 81-year-old US president even visited his childhood home in the former mining town as he contrasted his blue-collar roots with the election rival he branded a self-obsessed billionaire. In a speech calling for the wealthy to pay more taxes, Biden said he "learned a lot here in Scranton." "I learned that money doesn't determine your worth." "People like Donald Trump learned...

Scranton (United States) (AFP) - US President Joe Biden will draw a stark contrast with Donald Trump on Tuesday when he visits his birthplace in Scranton, Pennsylvania -- while his election rival is stuck in a New York courtroom. The 81-year-old has long traded on his blue-collar image as "Scranton Joe" to reach out to middle- and working-class voters, but his rally in a key battleground state in November's election is even more symbolic. Biden will be relishing the split screen as he tours America's industrial heartland while his Republican real estate tycoon rival is kept off the campaign tr...

Washington (AFP) - US President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden publicly released their 2023 tax return on Monday, carrying on a tradition of transparency temporarily interrupted under predecessor Donald Trump. The annual, unwritten custom is designed to build trust in the White House. Other politicians as well as candidates often also take part. The Bidens earned $619,976 in 2023, most of which was derived from the president's $400,000 salary and Jill Biden's $85,985 compensation for her teaching job at a college in nearby Virginia. That number was up from the $579,514 the couple earned i...

Washington (AFP) - Iran's attack on Israel gives Joe Biden a familiar dilemma, but on steroids -- how to balance support for a difficult ally while preventing the nightmare scenario of a wider war? Tensions with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over Israel's war on Gaza were papered over as the US president offered "ironclad" support, including shooting down Iranian drones. But the White House said it would not support an Israeli counterattack and warned Israel to "think carefully" about escalation that could trigger a full-blown regional conflict. The question then for Biden, who is facing a...

Washington (AFP) - He wanted the US presidential election to be about "Bidenomics." Instead, it risks being about "Bidenflation." Joe Biden faces one of the biggest threats to his hopes of beating Donald Trump from rising prices that are hitting Americans in the wallet. The cost of living is rising more quickly again, just when the 81-year-old Democrat thought he had put the issue behind him to get a clear run at November's vote. Figures this week showed US consumer inflation accelerating to 3.5 percent in the year to March, the second straight month it has risen. Gas prices and rent contribut...

Washington (AFP) - President Joe Biden vowed to "fight like hell" for women's reproductive rights in a reelection ad Thursday, as his team pounced on the backlash to a Republican-backed decision all but outlawing abortion in the swing state of Arizona. "Your bodies and your decisions belong to you, not the government, not Donald Trump," Biden says in the ad, which will be aired in Arizona during popular shows including American Idol and Saturday Night Live this month. Part of what the campaign said was a seven-figure media blitz, the ad is aimed at key Democratic target groups -- young people,...
