Could Tim Walz win over Trump voters?

2024/08/07

What does Kamala Harris see in Tim Walz that has propelled him to be her VP pick? And what lines of attack will Trump and Vance use against the pairing now? Walz is little known in much of America - the Minnesota governor, former veteran and school coach has got progressive left policies but he is a gun owner with a love of hunting and fishing. Can he win over the men who once voted Trump?Editor: Tom HughesProducer: Natalie IndgeDigital Editor: Michaela WaltersSocial Media Editor: Georgia

How is Trump coping with being called ‘weird’?

2024/07/31

Kamala Harris has challenged Trump to a debate in the most ‘brat‘ way possible. She’s also introduced a new vibe into the Democrat campaign which involves calling the former president ‘a bit weird’. Is it unsettling Trump? Is it emasculating him? And what form will his response take? Later we discuss the potential VP picks - Kamala Harris will pick her running mate by this time next week. And an update on Donald Trump’s marriage to Melania.Editor: Tom HughesProducers: Natalie IndgeDigital Editor:

Kamala Harris has received the backing of Nancy Pelosi, George Clooney and Beyonce to name but three. She's found a million new small figure donors and got the female power of Silicon Valley behind her. Meanwhile, Trump is having to think about how the campaign has changed overnight. Is the choice of his VP JD Vance still feeling like the right one? And who will Kamala pick to fight the campaign beside her - if she is crowned the new presidential candidate this week?

The sharks circle Joe Biden

The News Agents - USA ·

2024/07/10

George Clooney leads a growing list of people who have called on Joe Biden not to stand again in 2024. Will this shift the White House thinking on this thorny matter? Or will it take former Democratic presidents to weigh in before anything changes. Last night House Democrats seemed resigned to the status quo after their caucus behind closed doors. Biden is currently meeting Keir Starmer and others to celebrate NATOs birthday. NATO a full six years younger than Joe. And how is Trump responding to the

The majority decision by America's Supreme Court to grant Trump almost complete immunity from actions taken whilst in office make him - in the words of one dissenting justice, "a king above the law". What are the implications of this ruling on Trump's future trials? On his behaviour if he wins a second term?And on America's trust in the highest court in the land?Later, the Democrats find themselves, like their presidential candidate at times, frozen, in the aftermath of that TV debate.

2024/06/18

Biden's appearances at the G7 photo call and the Democrat fundraiser have raised eyebrows because of video circulating that appears to show him freezing at certain moments. The White House says don't fall for the clips- they're edited videos or 'cheap fakes'. What's going on? Why are Dems so defensive? And why is Trump mixing up his own doctor's name when he talks about his superior cognitive abilities. It's all shaping up to be a bizarre first TV debate 9 days from now - and we may - may see one

How is Donald Trump planning his revenge?

The News Agents - USA ·

2024/06/06

Donald Trump is wondering aloud what prison would be like. He probably doesn't have to -it's extremely unlikely that the sentence eventually handed down to him in July will be custodial. But his MAGA henchmen are already talking about what happens if he wins in November, and what their revenge on the prosecutors who tried him will be.Has belief in the rule of law amongst MAGA voters broken down? And what is this doing to America? And whilst one trial is behind us, another has just kicked off.Hunter

The Trump first trial, over hush money paid to porn star Stormy Daniels, is over. The real question is, as the jury deliberate - will he be found guilty?All this, while the Biden campaign sweats over stuttering polling data and a president who is apparently obstinate and determined to run the campaign his way.

If the adult porn director Stormy Daniels was the star witness of the Trump trial last week, this week it got even hotter. Trump's former fixer, friend and lawyer took the stand.Except now, Michael Cohen is no friend of Trump. What's more, he's a convicted felon, a liar and a perjurer. Will his presence as a key witness help or hinder the prosecution?And does it matter that he's told a jury he'd like to see Trump jailed?

Stormy Daniels takes the stand against Donald Trump

The News Agents - USA ·

2024/05/08

In a surprise move, the sex worker and pornstar Stormy Daniels appeared as a witness yesterday in the trial of Donald Trump to reveal details of the night they spent together in a Nevada hotel room. The details were specific, and to some ears rather lurid - and included a description of her beating him on the backside with a rolled up magazine. None of this is illegal - but what might be is the money she alleges he paid her to hush it up - money from his campaign funds. Later, we revisit dog

Is Trump above the law and should he have immunity from a case involving his actions around the January 6th insurrection? That's what the Supreme Court has spent the last week arguing about. Amazingly, they might be making a case for why he checks notes... IS immune. We hear from The New York Times Supreme Court supremo Adam Liptak.

Was this against the law? Does it hurt Trump's defence? And why does Trump keep slagging off his critics on social media when he's been gagged ? Later what's actually

2024/04/16

How do you pick a jury of right-minded individuals to pass a fair verdict on Donald Trump? His lawyers say it's impossible, that this trial is a witch hunt, that he's been gagged AND denied the chance to go to his son's graduation. Meanwhile, the judge has just carried on. They're selecting a jury which will witness the first ever criminal trial of a former US president.

Trump‘s Truth Social company has plunged in value on the stock market after losses of more than 58 million were revealed. Luckily, though, he still has his bible business in which he tries to flog a double whammy bible constitution combo for a neat 60 dollars. Trump is trying to win few more Christians whilst simultaneously trying not to endorse an abortion ban that could see the Republicans lose the massive electoral state of Florida.

Trump to face criminal trial ... before the election

The News Agents - USA ·

2024/03/26

Trump will face a criminal trial in front of a jury before the presidential election. He'll be the first ex-president to do so - all while he has to stump up the not so measly 175 million dollars to write off his fraudulent asset evaluations. At least it's not the original $464 million - which was knocked down at the eleventh hour on Monday. Truth Social, his social media site, looks to be earning him a pretty penny at least as it's set to go public.Plus - we talk to Ben Smith of Semafor about the
