Cardi B reacts to her teleprompter mishap during Kamala Harris’ rally

November 4, 2024 by Areej Afzal

Cardi B encountered a technical glitch during Kamala Harris’ rally.
She faced a teleprompter issue that left her flustered.
She shared her thoughts on the awkward moment after the incident.

Cardi B encountered a technical glitch during Kamala Harris’ rally in Milwaukee on Friday, which momentarily derailed her speech. The 32-year-old rapper faced a teleprompter issue that left her flustered as she addressed the enthusiastic crowd.

“One second, guys. One second,” she said, clearly nervous. “Sorry guys, I’m a little nervous! I’ve been waiting for this moment my whole life. My whole life!” As she struggled to continue, Cardi admitted she needed “patience” for the next couple of minutes until the glitch was fixed.

In a light-hearted moment, she joked, “Patience, where are you, girl?” A staff member eventually provided her with a cell phone to read her speech. “I took my time writing this speech, so I’m going to make sure I deliver it right,” she humbly stated.

“Are we ready to change the next eight years?” Cardi rallied the crowd, highlighting the potential of Harris becoming the first female president of the United States. “Because we are going to make sure we have Kamala Harris in office for eight years!” she declared. At one point, Cardi addressed Harris’ Republican opponent, Donald Trump, asking, “Did you hear what Donny Trump said the other day?” referring to Trump’s controversial comments about protecting women “whether they like it or not.” She added, “Donny, don’t. Please.”

Following the rally, Cardi B shared her thoughts on the awkward moment in a TikTok video, expressing, “my mind be fking racing all goddn day bch.” She defended her decision to read from her phone, stating, “Bch I had to write that st down,” and noted, “B*h I have three kids.”

As the incident circulated on social media, many praised Cardi for maintaining her composure despite the nerves. “Cardi was nervous and the teleprompter broke but she pushed through and delivered the message she has been giving to us since day 1!!” a supporter commented on X, formerly Twitter. Another user appreciated her authenticity, saying, “We love Cardi bc she is not the cookie cutter robot she is authentically herself always!!”]

When will results for the US Presidential election 2024 be announced? Find out

November 4, 2024 by Areej Afzal

People eagerly awaiting the results of the 2024 US Presidential election on Tuesday night (November 5) may face delays unless Democratic nominee Kamala Harris or Republican candidate Donald Trump achieves a substantial victory in key states, particularly the swing states.

If the results reflect the close polling data, which show leads within the margin of error—such as Trump’s narrow 0.4 percent lead in Pennsylvania—it could take days or even weeks to resolve any contested outcomes, potentially involving recounts, according to an IANS report.

Typically, the losing candidate concedes defeat before official results are announced if the outcome is clear. However, Trump has not acknowledged his 2020 loss to President Joe Biden and is likely to contest any defeat this time around. Harris may also pursue legal action in a tightly contested race where just a few hundred votes could determine the winner, with both candidates having teams of lawyers prepared.

Complicating the situation is the fact that the president is elected by an electoral college of 538 members, rather than by the popular vote. In most states, the candidate receiving the majority of votes takes all of that state’s electoral votes, meaning it’s possible to win the popular vote but lose the election. For example, in 2016, Hillary Clinton won nearly 3 million more votes than Trump but lost due to the electoral college, which favored Trump 306 to 227.

The decisive verdict will come from seven swing states where neither party holds a clear majority, collectively worth 93 electoral votes. Each state has different timelines for counting votes, particularly absentee ballots, leading to potential delays in results. If margins are close, recounts may also be requested, further extending the timeline.

If everything proceeds smoothly and margins are wide enough, results might be available as early as midnight in New York (10:30 a.m. IST). However, official announcements are expected to be delayed due to legal challenges. Each state governor must submit the official tally of electoral votes, known as “Certificates of Ascertainment,” by December 11. The electoral college is set to meet on December 17 to cast their votes in their respective state capitals.

Addressing public curiosity about his personal life, he noted, “People are obsessed with the personal lives of others,” and remarked that some invite scrutiny by oversharing. While acknowledging that fans know him through his work, he emphasized his desire to keep his marriage and personal choices private, stating they should remain off-limits.

Umair also entered into a second marriage last month and shared the exciting news on social media.

Karan voiced his fear of challenging questions that may arise.

Filmmaker Karan Johar has shared insights into his unique “Modern Family” dynamics, expressing concerns about his children, Yash and Roohi, and the challenging questions they may pose in the future.

This discussion arose during his appearance on the latest season of Fabulous Lives vs Bollywood Wives, a Netflix reality show. In one episode, actress Neelam Kothari reflected on her divorce from Rishi Sethia and her adopted daughter with her second husband, Samir Soni.

Karan responded to her heartfelt remarks, saying, “That really moved me because I remember those days so clearly. I really teared up, I was actually connecting to it on an emotional level. You spoke about your daughter and that’s also something that struck a chord with me. My constant fear is that I also have to deal with those questions from my own children about my circumstances and that I have a modern family situation.”

As a single parent to twins Yash and Roohi, born via surrogacy in 2017, Karan acknowledges the complexities of his situation. He mentioned, “They will find out things, and I will have to be answerable. Being a single parent, I know I am answerable to my children about so many aspects.” Reflecting on his sexual orientation, he previously stated in a 2020 interview with India Today, “Everybody knows what my sexual orientation is. I don’t need to scream it out.”

Recently, Karan made a comeback to directing with the hit film Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani and has produced several projects through his Dharma Productions, despite facing some box office setbacks. He also sold a 50% stake in Dharma to businessman Adar Poonawalla for ₹1000 crore amid rumors of financial difficulties.

Kamala Harris pledges possible actions to end war in Gaza as US president

November 4, 2024November 4, 2024 by Areej Afzal

In Kamala Harris’ Grandfather’s village, residents pray for her success

Democrat Kamala Harris delivered her closing message for the US presidency at a historic Black church and spoke to Arab Americans in battleground Michigan. During a rally in East Lansing, she acknowledged the impact of Israel’s military actions in Gaza and Lebanon on civilians.

“This year has been difficult, given the scale of death and destruction in Gaza and the civilian casualties and displacement in Lebanon. It is devastating. As president, I will do everything in my power to end the war in Gaza,” Harris stated to applause.

Many Arab and Muslim Americans, along with anti-war activist groups, have criticized US support for Israel amid the widespread civilian casualties and displacements occurring in Gaza and Lebanon. Israel maintains that its military operations target groups like Hamas and Hezbollah.

In her address at Greater Emmanuel Institutional Church in Detroit, Kamala Harris urged action, telling parishioners, “In just two days we have the power to decide the fate of our nation for generations to come. We must act. It’s not enough to only pray; not enough to just talk.”

On the other hand, Donald Trump criticized his opponents at a rally in Pennsylvania denouncing Democrats as a “demonic party.” He stated, “Kamala’s campaign is run on hate and demonisation,” and expressed regret over leaving office.

Trump’s demeanor at rallies in key battleground states sharply contrasted with Kamala Harris’s positive campaign message in Michigan, as both candidates made their final appeals to undecided voters and aimed to energize their supporters as the US presidential race enters its final 48 hours.
