“This interview will go down in history,” Donald Trump had written hours before his scheduled conversation with Elon Musk. Well, maybe, if anyone was able to actually listen to it. For the best part of an hour, millions of people tried to log on to Spaces, the part of X designed for live audio discussions.

Kamala Harris’s election campaign has said it raised $200m (£156m) in the week since she became a presidential candidate. The US vice president‘s deputy campaign manager Rob Flaherty said 66% of the funds were raised from new donors, while the campaign has signed up 170,000 new volunteers. US President Joe Biden, 81, withdrew from the
Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has told a crowd of Christians they won’t have to vote again if they vote for him in November, saying “we’ll have it fixed so good”. The former president, who faces federal and state prosecution for his alleged attempts to overturn the US election result in 2020, was attending an
A bullet hit Donald Trump’s ear in an assassination attempt, the FBI has confirmed, after its own director cast doubt on what caused the injury – fuelling anger and conspiracy theories. The statement follows ambiguous comments earlier in the week by Christopher Wray, which fuelled fresh tensions between the Republican presidential candidate and the law
Donald Trump’s running mate has defended comments in which he said the Democratic Party was run “by a bunch of childless cat ladies”. JD Vance’s remarks, from a 2021 Fox News interview, were reposted earlier this week by Friends star Jennifer Aniston. The actress used the clip to criticise his opposition to a law making
Audiences for Veep, the TV series broadcast on Sky, have shot up since Kamala Harris became the Democratic candidate for the White House. Like Selina Meyer, the fictional vice president in the show, she is closer than ever to becoming the first woman president. The prospect is tantalising for Harris but the omens are not
Donald Trump hosted Benjamin Netanyahu at his Florida resort as he dismissed reports of tensions between the pair and attacked Kamala Harris’s “disrespectful” comments about the Gaza war. The former US president welcomed the Israeli prime minister to his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach for their first meeting since September 2020. The Republican presidential nominee
This is a truly extraordinary moment. It is shocking to watch. It’s hard to judge right now how it will reverberate and what the consequences for America and its fractious politics will be. But these are deeply anxious times. The cable news networks were carrying Donald Trump‘s speech live. It had just gone 6.15pm on
Joe Biden has mistakenly referred to Volodymyr Zelenskyy as “President Putin” at the NATO summit – just hours after his allies warned his chances of winning the US election are zero. The US president was speaking in Washington at the end of the three-day summit and made the error while he was introducing the Ukrainian
Joe Biden has pledged more support for Ukraine – including air defence systems – as he welcomed NATO member states to a Washington summit marking the organisation’s 75th anniversary. Dogged by rumours over his health, the US president delivered a forceful and determined speech in which he insisted the bloc was “more powerful than ever”.
Joe Biden’s has shown no symptoms of Parkinson’s disease, his doctor has explained in a letter released after reports claimed a specialist had visited the president several times in the past year. Concerns around the president’s health have risen since Mr Biden’s poor showing in his debate with Donald Trump. Democrats described his performance as
The cow flu virus that has spread through US dairy herds may have taken a “dangerous” step towards being able to infect humans through respiratory infections, scientists have warned. The H5N1 virus, more commonly found in birds, has so far been confirmed in cattle on more than 100 farms in 12 states, with inactivated fragments
Minnesota Vikings rookie cornerback Khyree Jackson and two friends were killed after their car was hit by another vehicle “driving at a high rate of speed”, police in the US have said. The fatal crash in Maryland happened shortly before 3.15am local time on Saturday. Jackson, 24, who had been the front seat passenger of
An extreme heatwave in the US has seen record-breaking temperatures with warnings issued to around 130 million people and heightened concerns over wildfires. San Francisco saw the thermometer hit a blistering 47C (117F) over the weekend while Las Vegas topped out at 46C – a high last reached in 2007. Phoenix recorded 45.5C, just shy
It was the world’s biggest job interview. Joe Biden‘s grilling on primetime TV was a test of suitability for the dual role of president and election winner, when many had already reached the conclusion he’s neither. This 22-minute Q&A with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos felt make or break and, in the event, it was probably more
Joe Biden has again vowed “I am staying in the race” at a rally as pressure mounts on him to quit the presidential election. Doubts grew over the health and capability of the 81-year-old US president after a shaky performance in a debate with opponent Donald Trump last week. Amid questions about whether he has
Donald Trump has claimed Joe Biden is quitting the presidential race after his poor performance in last week’s debate and criticised vice president Kamala Harris as “so f*****g bad”. He made the comments in a clip on his Truth Social site that showed him speaking from a golf buggy. Mr Biden‘s showing against Trump was
Joe Biden has said he “nearly fell asleep” during last week’s first presidential debate and put his poor performance down to travel exhaustion after going “around the world a couple of times” shortly before it. The US president, 81, said he “wasn’t very smart” for having travelled extensively in the weeks leading up to the
Joe Biden didn’t want the Supreme Court decision, that’s clear. Joe Biden’s campaign can feel the benefit, that’s also clear. In a week when Team Biden needs the American public talking about something that isn’t his frailty, the fragility of the rule of law will probably do. It did for him in a Monday evening
Joe Biden has said the historic ruling that former presidents have immunity violates the principle “that there are no kings in America” – and means they can now “ignore the law”. He was speaking after the US Supreme Court decided absolute immunity exists from criminal prosecution for official acts while in office, but not for
