Cardi B addresses rumors of receiving payment for appearing in Kamala Harris’ rally

November 15, 2024 by Areej Afzal

Cardi B addressed claims about receiving payment from Kamala Harris.
Candace Owens questioned whether she was paid for her involvement.
She revealed that she even covered her own expenses for travel and glam.

Cardi B has addressed recent claims about receiving payment for her appearance at a Kamala Harris rally, firmly denying that she was compensated by the campaign.

The rapper’s response came after conservative commentator Candace Owens questioned whether she was paid for her involvement. “I didn’t get paid a dollar and that’s on my three,”

Cardi B said, adding that she even covered her own expenses for travel and glam. “You know damn well I’ll argue you down about politics FOR FREE,” she added, asserting her commitment to political activism.

The rapper had spoken at Harris’ Milwaukee, Wisconsin rally during the 2024 presidential election campaign, where she compared her own experiences as an underdog to that of Kamala Harris. “Like Kamala Harris, I’ve been the underdog, underestimated, and had my success belittled,” Cardi said during her speech.

Despite the efforts of Hollywood elites and celebrities like Cardi B, Jennifer Lopez, Taylor Swift, and Ariana Grande, Harris ultimately lost the election to Donald Trump, who secured a second non-consecutive term.

Cardi B, in a post-election message, expressed admiration for Harris, saying, “No one has ever made me change my mind and you did! You have shown my daughters and women across the country that anything is possible.”

In related news, Oprah Winfrey also denied receiving payment for hosting a celebrity town hall with Harris, stating, “I was paid nothing – ever.”

Joe Biden to address Americans today following Trump’s victory in election

November 7, 2024 by Areej Afzal

US President Joe Biden is set to deliver a somber address to the nation today, promising a peaceful transfer of power to Donald Trump after his political rival triumphed in the election against Kamala Harris, according to AFP reports.

In what is expected to be a difficult moment for Biden, he will speak from the Rose Garden of the White House at 11 am (9 pm Pakistan time) to “discuss the election results and the transition” to Trump’s second term.

Despite the personal challenge, Joe Biden appears determined to distinguish himself from Trump, who refused to concede his 2020 election loss to Biden, culminating in the violent January 6, 2021, Capitol insurrection by Trump supporters.

In an effort to maintain a presidential tone, Biden has invited Trump to meet at the White House, even though their relationship has been marked by years of bitter rivalry. This would be their first meeting since Biden’s poor performance in a debate with Trump in June, which ultimately led to Biden withdrawing from the race.

It is important to note that in the presidential election held yesterday, Donald Trump was re-elected as the President of the United States.

Trump won in 27 states, including Eastern Indiana, Kentucky, and West Virginia, while Kamala Harris claimed victory in 19 states.

In the U.S. presidential election, out of 538 electoral votes, Republican candidate Donald Trump secured 277 votes, while Democratic candidate Kamala Harris received 226 electoral votes. Any candidate needed at least 270 electoral votes out of the total of 538 to win the presidency.

Barack Obama responds to Donald Trump’s victory in US Election 2024

November 7, 2024 by Areej Afzal

Former US President Barack Obama shared his thoughts on Donald Trump’s victory in the presidential elections, offering congratulations to both Trump and J.D. Vance via the social media platform X.

Obama acknowledged that while the election result did not align with the hopes of many, given the significant policy differences between him and the Republican candidate, it was crucial to respect the democratic process. He emphasized that for democracy to thrive, it is essential to accept the outcome, even when it doesn’t match one’s preferred vision.

The former president further stressed the importance of upholding democracy by ensuring a peaceful transition of power, regardless of political disagreements.

Barack Obama expressed pride in Vice President Kamala Harris and Governor Tim Walz, praising them as exceptional individuals who led impressive campaigns. He stated, “Michelle and I could not be prouder of Vice President Harris and Governer Waltz – two extraordinary public servants who ran a remarkable campaign.”

He also shared his gratitude for the officers and volunteers who dedicated themselves wholeheartedly to the presidential election effort, acknowledging their vital contributions.

Barack Obama emphasized that in a diverse nation like the United States, where people from various backgrounds coexist, it’s natural not to always agree with one another. He further stated that for the progress of the country, it’s essential to engage with those who, despite strong differences, approach matters with good intentions and respect.

It is worth noting that Donald Trump has been elected as the 47th president of the United States, marking his second term in office. Out of 538 electoral votes, Trump secured 277, while his Democratic opponent, Kamala Harris, received 226 votes.

On the other hand, Trump’s supporters were quick to praise his win. Elon Musk, a vocal backer of the former president, wrote on X, “The people of America gave @realDonaldTrump a crystal clear mandate for change tonight.”

Caitlyn Jenner also expressed optimism, saying, “Hope is back in America. These two men will single-handedly save western civilization and that starts with a strong United States of America. I am here and at your service and forever indebted to your sacrifice for this country. Let’s Make America Great Again!”

US Election 2024: Kamala Harris issues key statement, Donald Trump to accept defeat if elections are fair

November 6, 2024November 6, 2024 by Areej Afzal

Kamala Harris, the Democratic presidential candidate, released a key statement regarding the U.S. presidential election.

During the electoral process, Vice President Kamala Harris shared a post on the social media platform “X,” saying, “Together, we are fighting for the promise of America – a promise of freedom, opportunity, and equality for all.”

Earlier, in the U.S. presidential election, Republican Party candidate Donald Trump stated that he would accept defeat if the election was fair.

He mentioned that he was expecting to win with a large lead, reaffirming that he would not allow Iran to possess nuclear weapons if elected. He also praised his campaign as being outstanding and added, “If I don’t win the election, I will accept the loss.”

Donald Trump criticized the Secret Service, saying that the agency caused him difficulties, and that he was targeted with machine guns, something he had never experienced in his life.

It is noteworthy that voting is underway across all states for the election of the 47th President of the United States, with the battleground states of Pennsylvania and North Carolina being the focus of attention.

In Pennsylvania, 19 electoral votes will be decided, while in North Carolina, 16 electoral votes are at stake. A candidate needs at least 270 electoral votes to win the election.

Donald Trump leads US Election 2024 with bigger margin than Kamala Harris

November 6, 2024November 6, 2024 by Areej Afzal

Donald Trump has been projected as the winner of the 2024 US presidential election, defeating Kamala Harris with a margin of over 52%.

According to The Associated Press, the former president secured victories in key states, including Alaska, Idaho, Montana, and Texas.

In contrast, Harris claimed wins in states such as Washington, Oregon, California, New York, New Mexico, Illinois, and Colorado.

Jen O’Malley Dillon, Harris’s campaign chair, called for patience and resolve in a message to campaign staff, which was shared with the media. She noted that the tight race was something they had prepared for and predicted that the outcome may not be clear until the early morning hours.

“We’ve been saying for weeks that this race might not be called tonight. This is what we’ve been built for, so let’s finish what we can tonight, get some rest, and be ready to close out strong tomorrow,” she wrote.

On Tuesday, Trump cast his vote in Florida, expressing confidence about his campaign’s performance. “I feel very confident. We came in with a strong lead, and it looks like Republicans have turned out in force. We’ll see how it all turns out, but it seems like they’ve really shown up,” he told reporters.

So far, the states that have supported Kamala Harris include California, Connecticut, Colorado, Delaware, the District of Columbia, Rhode Island, and Maine’s 1st Congressional District.

How can US Election 2024 results affect Pakistan’s economy? Find out

November 5, 2024 by Areej Afzal

Early voting returns may mislead US election results

The economic strategies of US presidential candidates Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, though divergent in many areas, could have significant implications for Pakistan’s trade and investment relations with the United States.

Pakistan exports nearly a fifth of its goods to the US, with textiles and apparel being major contributors. However, Pakistan’s foreign direct investment (FDI) from the US is relatively modest, making up only four percent of total FDI in FY24. This underscores the critical role of US policies, particularly those related to tariffs and trade.

Trump’s “America First” policies, including steep tariffs on Chinese goods, could adversely affect Pakistan, particularly in the textile sector, where it competes with countries benefiting from the US-Dominican Republic-Central America Free Trade Agreement (CBTPA).

A 10% tariff increase on imports could erode Pakistan’s price advantage, exacerbated by high domestic costs. Conversely, Harris, who favors dialogue with China, is less likely to impose new tariffs on countries like Pakistan but may target nations where Chinese production has shifted, such as Vietnam.

Both candidates have proposed policies to boost US middle-class purchasing power. Harris aims to expand child tax credits and provide tax relief to 100 million Americans, potentially increasing demand for consumer goods like apparel. Trump’s proposal to temporarily cap credit card interest rates could similarly boost consumer spending.

However, on corporate taxes, the two candidates diverge sharply. Harris supports increasing the corporate tax rate to 28%, which could dampen US investment abroad, including in Pakistan. In contrast, Trump’s proposed corporate tax cut for domestic manufacturers might further reduce demand for imports, negatively impacting Pakistani exports.

Ultimately, while both candidates seek to strengthen the US economy, their policies could lead to missed opportunities or new challenges for Pakistan, depending on how the geopolitical and economic landscape unfolds.

Orry commented on a post shared by Kamala Harris.
He showed his support for Trump while responding to a follower.

Bollywood’s socialite and popular figure, Orhan Awatramani, better known as Orry has drawn attention for his outspoken support of Donald Trump amid the U.S. presidential election race.

The drama unfolded when Orry commented on a post shared by Kamala Harris’ official campaign page on Instagram. The post featured Harris wearing a sparkling rainbow flag jacket, which led Orry to leave a vomit emoji in the comments—an expression of his disdain.

Orry’s remark shocked many of his Indian followers, prompting one to ask, “Orry, are you a Trump supporter???” to which he quickly replied, “You’re either a Trump supporter or you hate America.” His response generated backlash, with some fans expressing disappointment. One follower wrote, “Nahh, what a disappointment,” while another added, “Sorry, Orry, but I can’t be following you anymore.”

The incident quickly gained traction on Reddit, where users accused him of seeking attention by making controversial statements. One commenter wrote, “He is just trying to stay relevant by making these controversial takes,” while another added, “He probably doesn’t even know what is happening in India.” Many users highlighted the irony of a Mumbai-based figure commenting on U.S. elections without ever showing interest in Indian politics.

US Election 2024: Security strengthened to ensure peaceful voting process

November 5, 2024 by Areej Afzal

Extraordinary security measures have been put in place to ensure a peaceful US election 2024 and to address concerns about violence against election staff.

The National Guard has been deployed in Oregon, Washington, and Nevada, while the FBI has set up a command post to monitor potential threats.

Security has been heightened at nearly 100,000 polling stations across the U.S., with specially trained armed teams assigned to protect election workers.

To safeguard election staff, 1,000 panic buttons have been ordered.

Reports suggest that misinformation could pose a risk to election workers, their families, and the integrity of the process. In Washington, there are concerns of uncertainty lasting through election day and beyond.

Meanwhile, the cybersecurity chief warned that foreign adversaries are spreading disinformation on a larger scale than ever before.

He described misinformation as a “volcano” aimed at the American public, stating that it continues to be a major threat.

Meanwhile, voting for the 47th President of the United States is set to begin in just a few hours, with over 79 million people having already cast their ballots, and the remaining voters will choose their preferred candidate today.

To secure victory in the US election 2024, a candidate needs at least 270 electoral votes out of a total of 538. The race between Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Kamala Harris is expected to be fiercely competitive.

The outcome will largely depend on the results from seven key swing states. Voters will also be selecting all 435 members of the House of Representatives and 34 Senators.

How are votes counted in US Election?

November 5, 2024November 5, 2024 by Abid Khan

WASHINGTON: On November 05, tens of millions of voters will step into ballot booths across the United States.

But the results of the election – including whether Kamala Harris or Donald Trump will be the next president – will not be official until votes are counted and verified, which could take days to fully complete.

In the battleground states expected to decide the election’s winner, the process will be highly scrutinized.

Trump is already questioning the trustworthiness of many of their voting processes and in 2020 he challenged the results of many of their votes in court.

The first polls will begin closing at 18:00 EST (23:00 BST) on Tuesday, but counting votes will extend far beyond then.

In most cases, it can take weeks to reach an official tally, partly because of state rules.

For example, in two battleground states – Pennsylvania and Wisconsin – election workers are not allowed to begin processing mailed-in ballots until election day. That is expected to slow the counting greatly.

It’s important to note that news organisations use unofficial results and projections when they announce winners on election night or the following days, instead of waiting for the final and official count.

Counting, too, varies from location to location and depends on equipment used.

Some counties “feed” ballots into optical scanners, while others may use touch-screen systems or ballot-marking devices to record votes.

The scanners are the most common. They tabulate results, which are then manually recounted and double-checked by hand.

Results are, in turn, shared with electoral officials, the parties and eventually with the public.

The counting can be slowed down by disruptions, legal challenges or complications around provisional ballots.

As of 1 November, there were 203 voting and election cases pending in 40 states, according to Marc Elias, a Democratic election lawyer who filed many of the responses to Trump’s 2020 lawsuits.

They are concentrated in the battleground states of Georgia, which has 25 legal challenges, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Wisconsin and Arizona, according to his count.

Provisional ballots are given to voters when it is unclear whether they are eligible to cast ballots. This could happen, for example, if a person cannot be found in rolls of registered voters.

Ballots can also be challenged by election workers or – in some states – by poll watchers. Once challenged, ballots must be reviewed by election supervisors and made available to state canvass boards before being included, or stricken, from the official final tally.

Each state has its own procedure for recounts and what can trigger them.

Who will lead America, Donald Trump or Kamala Harris? Decision day arrives

November 5, 2024November 5, 2024 by Areej Afzal

Trump leads with 312 electoral votes, Harris trails at 226 in final tally

Who Will Be the Next U.S. President? Will Donald Trump or Kamala Harris Lead the Superpower? Decision Day is Here.

Voting for the 47th President of the United States is set to begin in just a few hours.

Ahead of the official election day on November 5, over 79 million people have already cast their ballots, and the remaining voters will choose their preferred candidate today.

To secure victory, a candidate needs at least 270 electoral votes out of a total of 538. The race between Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Kamala Harris is expected to be fiercely competitive.

The outcome will largely depend on the results from seven key swing states. Voters will also be selecting all 435 members of the House of Representatives and 34 Senators.

Polling will start in Vermont at 3 p.m. Pakistani time, with the times varying across six different U.S. time zones.

Today marks the crucial election to decide America’s next president. If Donald Trump wins, he would become only the second president in U.S. history to return to office after losing a previous election, serving a non-consecutive term.

Earlier, in the final push for the U.S. presidency, Democrat Kamala Harris and Republican Donald Trump took contrasting approaches.

Harris made her last appeal at a historic Black church in Detroit and to Arab Americans in Michigan, stressing the importance of voter action. “In just two days we have the power to decide the fate of our nation for generations to come,” she said, also pledging to end the war in Gaza if elected.

Meanwhile, Trump adopted a provocative tone at a rally in Pennsylvania, criticizing Harris and calling Democrats a “demonic party,” while also attacking the media. He commented on media criticism, saying, “To get me, somebody would have to shoot through the fake news and I don’t mind that so much.”

Although Rihanna cannot cast her vote in the U.S. election today, the Barbadian superstar is still actively supporting a particular presidential candidate.

In a playful Instagram reel, the singer joked about trying to vote using her son’s passport, writing, “I’m trying to sneak into the polls with my son’s passport,” while urging American voters to make their vote count. She also added the hashtag “#VoteCauseICant,” expressing her frustration at not being able to participate.

Here’s what she shared:

Rihanna’s post seemed to reflect her backing of Democratic vice-presidential candidate Kamala Harris. She captioned the video with, “When protecting p****** and firing p****** can happen all in one vote,” which likely refers to her views on the importance of the election.

The hashtag “#TanSuitSeason” was another hint, possibly referencing Harris’ flared-leg tan suit from the Democratic National Convention in August, which garnered significant attention. This fashion choice echoed a similar moment when former President Barack Obama’s tan suit was criticized a decade ago.

Though Rihanna is a prominent figure in this election cycle, she is not eligible to vote due to her Barbadian citizenship. Since moving to the U.S. in 2005, she has not changed her citizenship.

However, her partner A$AP Rocky and their sons, RZA and Riot, are U.S. citizens. Rihanna joins a long list of celebrities, including Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, and Taylor Swift, who have publicly supported Kamala Harris.

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.

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.

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

November 4, 2024November 4, 2024 by Areej Afzal

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.

Donald Trump criticizes Democrats as presidential race enters final stage

November 4, 2024 by Areej Afzal

Donald Trump intensified his confrontational rhetoric against political opponents and reiterated unfounded claims of electoral fraud as the U.S. presidential race entered its final 48 hours.

At a rally in Pennsylvania, Trump labeled Democrats as “demonic” and accused them of “fighting so hard to steal this damn thing,” echoing his fraud claims from 2020. “It’s a crooked country, and we’re going to make it straight,” he declared.

Trump also expressed regret about leaving office after losing to President Joe Biden, stating, “I shouldn’t have left.” He took a jab at the media, commenting on the protective glass barriers at his events following two assassination attempts: “To get me, somebody would have to shoot through the fake news, and I don’t mind that so much.”

In response, a senior official from Harris’s campaign criticized Trump’s remarks, stating, “He really is closing his campaign with total darkness and anger.” Meanwhile, Harris, fresh from an appearance on Saturday Night Live, began her campaign sweep with an event at a Black church in Detroit, emphasizing optimism: “We have the momentum because our campaign is tapping into the ambition, the aspirations, and the dreams of the American people.”

Harris cautioned against being influenced by Trump’s allegations, urging, “I would ask, in particular, people who have not yet voted, to not fall for this tactic, which I think includes suggesting to people that if they vote, their vote won’t matter.”

Recent polling indicates Harris has gained ground, notably leading Trump by three points in Iowa, while a New York Times/Siena poll shows her leading in states crucial for her campaign. Trump, however, asserted, “It’s a choice between whether we will have four more years of incompetence and failure, or whether we will begin the four greatest years in the history of our country.”

Kamala Harris urges action, Donald Trump ramps up rhetoric ahead of elections

November 4, 2024November 4, 2024 by Areej Afzal

Democrat Kamala Harris made her final pitch for the US presidency at a historic Black church and to Arab Americans in battleground Michigan. At the same time, her Republican opponent, Donald Trump, adopted a more provocative tone at a rally in Pennsylvania.

According to recent polls, the race is close, with Trump, 78, gaining ground among Hispanic men, and Harris, 60, enjoying strong support from female voters.

Despite both candidates facing unfavorable perceptions among voters, turnout remains high, with over 78 million Americans having cast their ballots ahead of Election Day. This number is nearing half of the total votes cast in 2020, which had the highest voter turnout in a century. Control of Congress is also at stake, with Republicans expected to secure a Senate majority while Democrats hope to flip the House.

In her address at Greater Emmanuel Institutional Church in Detroit, Kamala Harris told 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.” Later, while addressing Arab Americans, she acknowledged the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, stating, “This year has been difficult… As president, I will do everything in my power to end the war in Gaza.”

Conversely, Trump, at a rally in Pennsylvania, strayed from his script, criticizing Harris and denouncing Democrats as a “demonic party.” He commented on media criticism, saying, “To get me, somebody would have to shoot through the fake news and I don’t mind that so much.”

While Harris focused on undecided voters, Trump aimed to energize his base. He claimed, “Kamala’s campaign is run on hate and demonisation,” and expressed regret over leaving office, saying, “I shouldn’t have left. I mean, honestly, because we did so, we did so well.” Both campaigns are bracing for potential disputes over election results, with Democrats preparing for any premature claims of victory from Trump.
