In the chaotic power vacuum that followed President Joe Biden’s stunning exit from the 2024 race, a behind-the-scenes battle erupted — one that pitted two of the Democratic Party’s most recognizable figures against each other: Kamala Harris and Barack Obama. According to the bombshell new book Fight: Inside the Wildest Battle for the White House by veteran political reporters Jonathan Allen and Amie Parnes, former Vice President Kamala Harris was “very annoyed” with Obama as she raced toward clinching the Democratic nomination — only to find her party’s most iconic living figure missing in action. “As the hours rolled by, and it became clear that she was well on her way to seizing the nomination by storm, Obama’s opposition to her grew more confounding,” the book reports.

WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S.

Joe Biden’s former chief of staff is pushing back against how his remarks have been portrayed regarding the president’s performance during last year’s widely criticized debate against Donald Trump, clarifying to POLITICO that his criticism was directed at Biden’s top aides—not Biden himself.
“I think the framing is wrong,” Ron Klain wrote in a text message, responding to a Guardian report that described him as offering a “devastating picture” of Biden’s mental and physical condition in an interview for an upcoming book. “My point wasn’t that the president lacked mental acuity … He was out of it because he had been [sidelined], not because he lacked capacity.”

Turkey issued a harsh rebuke of Israel on Thursday, condemning its latest aerial attacks in Syria and calling on Israel to pull out of Syrian territory and stop obstructing efforts aimed at stabilizing the war-torn nation.
“Israel has become the greatest threat to regional security” and is a “strategic destabilizer, causing chaos and feeding terrorism,” the Turkish Foreign Ministry stated.
The ministry continued, “Therefore, in order to establish security throughout the region, Israel must first abandon its expansionist policies, withdraw from the territories it occupies, and stop undermining efforts to establish stability in Syria.”

While flying on Air Force One Thursday, President Trump proudly displayed a sleek prototype of what he called the administration’s $5 million “gold card,” presenting it to reporters with a grin.
Earlier this year, in February, Trump had previewed plans for this luxurious immigration option aimed at wealthy foreigners. The proposal involves a significant transformation of the current EB-5 visa process, long known for its delays and red tape, by offering what he called “green-card privileges-plus” to those who can afford the hefty price tag.
“For $5 million, this could be yours,” Trump told the press. “That was the first of the cards. You know what that card is?”
“It’s the gold card — the Trump card.”
