Harris allies point fingers at Biden for election defeat
WASHINGTON — As Vice President Kamala Harris conceded her loss to Donald Trump, some of her allies blamed her boss, Joe Biden, as they tried to make sense of her defeat.“The biggest onus of this loss is on President Biden,” said Andrew Yang, who ran against Biden in 2020 for the Democratic nomination before endorsing Harris.Biden, who was elected in 2020, sought re-election this year despite relatively low approval ratings and concern about his advancing age.The 81-year-old dropped out of the race only months prior following a disastrous televised debate against Trump, and growing pressure from his own party.High-ranking Democrats, including former president Barack Obama and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi had nudged him to step down.He had refused calls to step down for several...

Trump victory 'major setback' to climate action
WASHINGTON — Donald Trump's return to the White House will have a hugely negative effect on climate change action in the short-term but the longer term impact is less certain, experts say.With world leaders meeting next week for the latest UN climate talks, COP29, the Trump victory will be seen as a huge roadblock to progress in both cutting emissions and raising cash for developing countries.The US president-elect is a known climate sceptic who has called efforts to boost green energy a "scam".But with renewable energy gaining a strong foothold in the US and popular support for wind and solar, Trump's efforts to ramp up oil and gas instead may be less effective.While climate change did not play much of a role in this year's campaign, Trump's likely actions in...

Harris supports frown and cry as they watch her speak
Harris tells supporters 'never give up' and urges peaceful transfer of power
HOWARD — Defeated Democratic candidate Kamala Harris has urged her supporters to accept Donald Trump's White House victory, while telling them to "never give up" fighting for their ideals.At a concession speech in Washington DC, the US vice-president acknowledged "the outcome of this election is not what we wanted", but insisted there must be a peaceful transfer of power.Harris, who canceled a victory speech that had been planned at the same venue one night earlier, also told the crowd not to despair.Trump has won enough key battleground states, including Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Wisconsin, to secure the presidency, with several states left to declare.Harris said in Wednesday's remarks from her alma mater, Howard University: "Hear me when I say,...

Trump wins second term in historic comeback after losing four years ago
WASHINGTON — Donald Trump will be America’s 47th president, CNN projected Wednesday, after mounting the most momentous comeback in political history that will hand him massive, disruptive power at home and will send shockwaves around the world.Four years after leaving Washington as a pariah, following his attempt to overturn the 2020 election to stay in office, Trump’s victory defied two assassination attempts, two presidential impeachments, his criminal conviction and many other criminal charges.Trump vowed at his Mar-a-Lago resort early Wednesday to “heal” the nation, to fix its borders and to deliver a strong and prosperous economy after millions of his voters turned to him amid frustration over high prices for food and housing and embraced his plans for a crackdown on...

US jails Fat Leonard in Navy's biggest bribery scandal
WASHINGTON — A Malaysian businessman has been sentenced to 15 years in jail for his role in the US Navy's biggest corruption scandal and for skipping a previous sentencing hearing.Leonard Glenn Francis, known as "Fat Leonard", pleaded guilty in 2015 to bribing senior Navy officials with millions of dollars in cash, prostitutes, luxury travel and top-shelf liquor and cigars.In exchange, Francis said he received classified information and was able to overcharge the Navy $35m (£27m) for his company's services to the 7th Fleet based in the Indo-Pacific.He had been due for sentencing in 2022 but he escaped in September that year by cutting off his ankle bracelet, and was recaptured within days.The US Attorney's Office said Tuesday's sentence reflected admissions in...

WASHINGTON — Polls have closed in most of the US while voting continues in some Western states as tens of millions of American voters went to the polls Tuesday to choose the country’s next leaders.The voting process, officials said, has been going smoothly, even with issues caused by non-credible bomb threats from Russia that disrupted voting in several states.Some counties in battleground states have started processing mail-in ballots amid high turnout, with officials predicting results will be ready later in the night or Wednesday. But in other locations, polls will stay open later because of the disruptions during the day.Several bomb threats at a few Michigan and Georgia polling places caused delays in the vote as security officials cleared the locations.The threats “appear to...
