Washington (AFP) - US President Joe Biden took pointed digs at election rival Donald Trump Friday as he awarded the country's top civilian honor to Democratic allies including former House speaker Nancy Pelosi and vice president Al Gore. Biden said the veteran Pelosi had "defended democracy" during the January 6, 2021 assault on the US capitol by a mob of Trump supporters enraged by the Republican's election loss a few weeks earlier. Gore meanwhile was "amazing" for accepting his own disputed election loss to George W. Bush in 2000 for the sake of the country, Biden said, drawing a clear contr...

Washington (AFP) - Joe Biden faces a tough reelection battle this November, but for one day at least The Force was with him. Legendary "Star Wars" actor Mark Hamill made a surprise appearance in the White House briefing room on Friday after meeting the US president. Hamill, 72, who played the powerful Jedi knight Luke Skywalker in the film series and is a vocal Biden supporter, took the podium wearing a pair of the president's trademark aviator sunglasses. "I called him 'Mr President,' he said 'You can call me Joe.' And I said, 'Can I call you Joe-bi Wan Kenobi?' He liked that," quipped Hamill...

Washington (AFP) - Joe Biden broke his silence Thursday on the student protests against Israel's war with Hamas but the US president faces a difficult balancing act to avoid hurting his reelection chances against Donald Trump. "There's the right to protest but not the right to cause chaos," the 81-year-old Democrat said in a televised address from the White House. Biden took a tough, law-and-order tone after police broke up some of the protests that have rocked US college campuses, even as he insisted the United States would not "squash dissent." "Vandalism, trespassing, breaking windows, shut...

Students must have the right to free speech but "violent protest is not protected" under the law, US President Joe Biden said on Thursday, as university campuses from New York to Los Angeles were gripped by unrest over Israel's war in Gaza.

"In fact, peaceful protest is in the best tradition of how Americans respond to consequential issues. But neither are we a lawless country. We are a civil society and order must prevail," Biden added. Speaking just ho...

Washington (AFP) - Joe Biden said Friday he is ready to face off against his White House challenger Donald Trump in a presidential debate, with the Republican, ensnarled in multiple criminal cases, proposing to hold the verbal duel at a New York courthouse without delay. Candidate debates have been important milestones in US presidential elections for decades, helping make or break voters' opinions of the contestants' personal style and demeanor as much as their policy chops. But Biden's team has for months been non-committal about his willingness to participate in the tradition, which is us...
