The energy of the Harris campaign has reframed the US election

The reframed campaign is now a sprint to the November election

CommentJuly 31, 2024

CommentJuly 16, 2024
US Vice President Kamala Harris at in New Orleans, Louisiana, on July 6. She's already in the White House and can run as a surrogate incumbent. Reuters
Kamala Harris should replace Biden and take on Trump

Her candidacy would not split the party coalition and she could even energise many despondent Democratic voters

CommentJuly 10, 2024
US President Joe Biden walks off the debate stage with his wife, Jill Biden, in Atlanta on Thursday. Reuters
Democrats are not quite so different from Republicans

By trying to conceal the President's true state of cognition, the Democratic Party, while still preferable to Republicans, doesn't provide all that stark a contrast to them

CommentJuly 01, 2024
Former US president Donald Trump speaks during a campaign event at Historic Greenbrier Farms in Chesapeake, Virginia, on Friday. Bloomberg
Arab Americans should note Trump's use of ‘Palestinian’ as a slur

They are right to be disillusioned with the President's Gaza policy, but voting for a third-party candidate or staying home will only help his rival return to the White House

CommentJune 30, 2024
President Joe Biden speaks during a presidential debate hosted by CNN with Republican presidential candidate former President Donald Trump on Thursday in Atlanta. AP
Biden must drop out of the race before it’s too late

On substance, Donald Trump was dreadful but Democrats' chances of victory cannot rest on a candidate with evident, even if intermittent, mental fog

CommentJune 28, 2024
The first debate between Donald Trump and Joe Biden is scheduled for Thursday. AFP
Why Biden-Trump debate could be most significant in US history

In a debate of many firsts, whoever underperforms stands a good chance of losing the election in November

CommentJune 25, 2024
A woman calling for the resignation of Justice Clarence Thomas outside the US Supreme Court, in Washington, on, June 14. Reuters
Why the US Supreme Court's reputation is so tarnished

Neither the financial shenanigans of Justice Clarence Thomas nor Justice Samuel Alito's ideological leanings are doing the institution – or America – any favours

CommentJune 19, 2024
Donald Trump speaks at a campaign rally on June 9, in Las Vegas. AP
The dishonest spectacle of Trump being interviewed by Dr Phil

Viewers watched two former TV celebrities bonding tightly over conspiratorial and legally unsound theories

CommentJune 14, 2024
US President Joe Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu meet in New York, the month before the October 7 Hamas attacks on Israel, on the sidelines of the 78th United Nations General Assembly in New York City on September 20, 2023. AFP
Netanyahu fighting Biden's plan to end the war bodes ill for the 'special relationship'

Biden says it's time to end the war. Netanyahu disagrees and is unlikely to risk losing his coalition and power just to please Washington

CommentJune 05, 2024
Donald Trump has become the first former US president to be convicted of a felony. Reuters
The verdict on Trump is in, but the jury is still out on Biden and the election

Trump's conviction doesn't rule him out of the White House even if it is undoubtedly a big blow

CommentJune 01, 2024
US President Joe Biden has cast himself as preventing the Democratic Party from falling into the grip of the far left. EPA
Biden's mapping a different route to the White House this time

In the run up to the US presidential election, Biden is relying on a contrast with Trump and appears to be saying: take it or leave it

CommentMay 30, 2024

The US is in a bind over ICC arrest warrants for Israeli and Hamas officials

The biggest problem for Biden is the manifest truth of the accusations
