      Arab American Voters in Dearborn, Michigan, Heard Trump’s Case 

      by

      After supporting Joe Biden in 2020, the majority-Arab American city outside Detroit delivered an unlikely win for Donald Trump, who promised to bring peace to the Middle East.Ameen Almudhari was one of thousands of people in the majority-Arab community of Dearborn, Mich., who helped Joe Biden win the city and defeat Donald Trump in the 2020 presidential election.Four years later, Mr. Almudhari had had enough.This week, he joined thousands of other Dearborn residents in voting for Mr. Trump, helping him score a stunning win in a place that seemed an unlikely source of support in the former president’s bid to return to the White House.Standing next to his 10-year-old son outside an elementary school on the north side of Dearborn on Tuesday evening, Mr. Almudhari, 33, explained his change of heart, part of a remarkable turnabout in Dearborn, which is just outside Detroit.He was, he said, fed up with Mr. Biden’s support of Israel and Ukraine and said the death and destruction being underwritten by the United States drove his decision to back Mr. Trump.“The first time we vote for Joe Biden, but what we see right now, he didn’t stop the genocide in Gaza,” said Mr. Almudhari, a Yemeni American, who faulted the president for spending American money to support the wars in Gaza and Ukraine. His son, Khaled, interrupted him with a smiling comment: “Trump will end the war!”Indeed, Mr. Trump has said as much, and the promise was among a host of reasons cited by voters in Dearborn for the wave of support from Arab and Muslim Americans for Mr. Trump.We are having trouble retrieving the article content.Please enable JavaScript in your browser settings.Thank you for your patience while we verify access.

      Trump jugó con el miedo y la inseguridad económica. Los votantes pasaron por alto sus escándalos

      by

      La victoria de Donald Trump lo convierte, a sus 78 años, en el hombre de más edad elegido presidente de EE. UU.Donald Trump, en la imagen acompañado de Melania Trump, celebra su triunfo en la noche electoral. Trump volverá a Washington con su partido firmemente en control del Senado tras cuatro años en la minoría. Doug Mills/The New York TimesDonald Trump derrotó a la vicepresidenta Kamala Harris, subido a una ola de inquietud por la inflación y la inmigración ilegal para llevar a la Casa Blanca una política de hombre fuerte, y convirtiéndose en el primer expresidente en más de 120 años que gana un segundo mandato tras una derrota en la reelección.Los votantes eligieron a Trump como el líder más fuerte para tiempos inciertos y como alguien a quien veían como un campeón económico comprobado. Pasaron por alto su condena por 34 delitos graves, su papel inspirador de un asalto al Capitolio y sus imputaciones por cargos de intento de subvertir las elecciones de 2020 y de retención de documentos clasificados.La victoria de Trump en una de las campañas más tumultuosas que se recuerdan —incluidos dos intentos fallidos de asesinato— lo convierte, a sus 78 años, en el hombre de más edad elegido presidente de EE. UU.Dirigiéndose a sus partidarios en Palm Beach, Florida, a primera hora de la mañana, Trump declaró: “Este será recordado para siempre como el día en que el pueblo estadounidense recuperó el control de su país”.Volverá a Washington con su partido firmemente en control del Senado tras cuatro años en la minoría. Eso facilitará su presión para instalar a leales de probada eficacia en su gabinete y en otros puestos de alto nivel del gobierno.We are having trouble retrieving the article content.Please enable JavaScript in your browser settings.Thank you for your patience while we verify access.

      Vance se burla de Harris y la califica de ‘basura’ en uno de sus últimos mítines

      by

      Durante su campaña en Atlanta, Vance dijo a sus partidarios: “en nuestro movimiento, queremos a todos los ciudadanos de este país”. Segundos después, llamó “basura” a la vicepresidenta Kamala Harris.El senador por Ohio JD Vance dijo en un mitin de campaña el lunes por la tarde “en dos días vamos a sacar la basura, y la basura se llama Kamala Harris”, momentos después de asegurar que Harris tenía “falta de respeto” e “incluso odio” hacia algunos estadounidenses.En una de sus últimas apariciones en campaña en Atlanta, Vance trató de establecer un contraste entre la campaña de Harris y la de Trump, instando a los estadounidenses a no descartar las relaciones familiares y las amistades por la política. Hizo esa petición tras referirse a las declaraciones del presidente Joe Biden, que denunció el lenguaje racista en el reciente mitin del expresidente Donald Trump en el Madison Square Garden, pero pareció insultar a los partidarios de Trump calificándolos de “basura”.Vance dijo a la multitud que “aquí en nuestro movimiento, amamos a todos los ciudadanos de este país”. Treinta y cinco segundos después, Vance describió a la vicepresidenta como basura. La multitud rugió en aprobación, con muchos dando a Vance una ovación de pie. Vance sonrió cuando el público empezó a corear su nombre.El domingo y el lunes, Vance había desplegado una versión similar de la frase, pero sin calificar directamente a Harris de “basura”. En Raleigh, Carolina del Norte, el domingo, Vance dijo que “ninguno de nuestros conciudadanos, sea cual sea su política, es basura por pensar que Kamala Harris ha hecho un mal trabajo. En solo dos días, vamos a sacar la basura de Washington, DC”.La campaña de Trump y sus partidarios han hecho suyas las confusas declaraciones de Biden denunciando al orador del Madison Square Garden. La semana pasada, en Wisconsin, Trump se sentó en un camión de la basura con la marca Trump y pronunció un discurso con un chaleco naranja de recolector de basura. Algunos simpatizantes han empezado a llevar bolsas de basura a los actos de Trump.Al principio, Vance restó importancia a la reacción contra los comentarios racistas en el Madison Square Garden, diciendo que “tenemos que dejar de ofendernos tanto por cada pequeña cosa en los Estados Unidos de América”. Sin embargo, Vance se apoderó rápidamente de los comentarios “basura” de Biden, y mencionarlos se convirtió en un elemento básico de sus mítines de campaña.En una aparición anterior en Raeford, Carolina del Norte, el mes pasado, Vance también dijo “creo que Kamala Harris está legítimamente loca”, momentos después de lamentar que había perdido amistades por motivos políticos desde que se convirtió en el candidato a la vicepresidencia.Chris Cameron cubre temas políticos para el Times, con enfoque en las noticias de última hora y en la campaña de 2024.

      Brian Bingham, a Veteran, Is Convicted of Assaulting Officer at Capitol Riot

      by

      Brian Glenn Bingham, of New Jersey, hit an officer in the face as the police tried to clear rioters from the building on Jan. 6, 2021, a jury found.On Monday, the eve of this year’s presidential election, a New Jersey man was convicted of assaulting a law enforcement officer as part of the mob of Donald J. Trump supporters who stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.A jury in Federal District Court in Washington, D.C., found the man, Brian Glenn Bingham, of Pennsville, N.J., guilty of the felony offenses of assaulting, resisting or impeding a police officer and civil disorder, and several misdemeanors, prosecutors said.As part of his defense, court records show, Mr. Bingham argued that his actions were colored by the fact that he had been nearby around the time that a Capitol Police lieutenant fatally shot a woman named Ashli Babbitt as she tried to vault through a window near the House Chamber at the Capitol.Mr. Bingham, a 36-year-old Army veteran, is scheduled to be sentenced in February. Kevin A. Tate, a federal public defender representing him, said Mr. Bingham was “disappointed by the verdict and intends to appeal.”Mr. Bingham is among more than 1,532 people who have been criminally charged in connection with the riot, and among more than 571 who have been charged with assaulting or impeding law enforcement officers, according to the Justice Department. He and other supporters of Mr. Trump stormed the Capitol in a bid to prevent the certification of Joseph R. Biden Jr. as the winner of the 2020 presidential election. The investigation into the day’s events is continuing.Mr. Trump, the Republican nominee in this year’s presidential election, was charged with three conspiracy counts arising from the riot. He has pleaded not guilty, and a federal judge will ultimately determine which parts of the indictment should survive under a landmark Supreme Court ruling from July that gives presidents immunity from prosecution for certain official acts while in office.We are having trouble retrieving the article content.Please enable JavaScript in your browser settings.Thank you for your patience while we verify access.

      Biden Returns to His Home Turf to Make Final Pitches for Harris

      by

      Though President Biden has made verbal gaffes on the campaign trail, the Harris campaign still considers him an asset in blue-collar communities like Scranton, Pa.In Scranton, Pa., it’s as though President Biden never left.In the final weeks of the presidential campaign, Mr. Biden has been cast in the shadow of Vice President Kamala Harris amid concerns that his unpopularity could be a liability in her race against former President Donald J. Trump. But as he rallied union members in his hometown on Saturday during one of his last campaign events in office, Mr. Biden was in one of the few places Democrats feel he can still help Ms. Harris on the campaign trail.“When he comes into this town, he is the top of the ticket,” said Sam Kuchwara, a 70-year-old retiree and veteran who is a native of Scranton. “He’s definitely more popular here than Harris.”Scranton is certainly the exception in that respect. Mr. Biden rattled Democrats this week when he appeared to call supporters of Mr. Trump “garbage” while denouncing racist comments made by a comedian at a Trump rally. Even though Mr. Biden later explained that he had meant that the comedian’s “hateful rhetoric” was garbage, Ms. Harris had to spend time on the campaign trail distancing herself from the comment.Ms. Harris’s rallies are far more enthusiastic and energetic than Mr. Biden’s, with crowds of thousands dwarfing those at his events. But Harris campaign officials believe that the incumbent president can still provide a key benefit to Ms. Harris by rallying working-class white voters and union members in battleground states.Enter Scranton Joe.“Scranton becomes part of your heart,” Mr. Biden said to union members cramped inside a carpenter’s union hall. “It crawls into your heart. It’s real.”Mr. Biden used the speech to argue that Mr. Trump would repeal much of his domestic agenda if he beat Ms. Harris, including efforts to invest in unions. He said that even those in the crowd who disagreed with Ms. Harris should vote for her if they wanted to keep aspects of his agenda.We are having trouble retrieving the article content.Please enable JavaScript in your browser settings.Thank you for your patience while we verify access.

      Photographing Every President Since Reagan

      by

      Doug Mills reflects on nearly 40 years of taking photos of presidents.Times Insider explains who we are and what we do and delivers behind-the-scenes insights into how our journalism comes together.Through his camera lens, Doug Mills has seen it all: George H.W. Bush playing horseshoes. An emotional Barack Obama. A shirtless Bill Clinton. And he’s shared what he’s seen with the world.Mr. Mills, a veteran photographer, has captured pictures of every U.S. president since Ronald Reagan. His portfolio includes images of intimate conversations, powerful podium moments and scenes now seared into the American consciousness — like the face of President George W. Bush, realizing that America was under attack while he was reading to schoolchildren.Mr. Mills began his photography career at United Press International before joining The Associated Press. Then, in 2002, he was hired at The New York Times, where his latest assignment has been trailing former President Donald J. Trump. In July, Mr. Mills captured the moment a bullet flew past Mr. Trump’s head at a rally in Butler, Pa., and then a photo of Mr. Trump, ear bloodied, raising his fist.Over the past four decades, cameras and other tools have changed the job considerably, he said. While he once used 35mm SLR film cameras (what photographers used for decades), he now travels with multiple Sony mirrorless digital cameras, which are silent and can shoot at least 20 frames per second. He used to lug around portable dark rooms; now he can transmit images to anywhere in the world directly from his camera, via Wi-Fi or an Ethernet cable, in a matter of seconds.But it’s not just the technology that has changed. Campaigns are more image-driven than ever before, he said, thanks to social media, TV ads and coverage that spans multiple platforms. Not to mention, it’s a nonstop, 24-hour news cycle. He likens covering an election year to a monthslong Super Bowl.“It consumes your life, but I love it,” Mr. Mills said. “I wouldn’t want to be doing anything else.”Mr. Mills, who on election night will be with Mr. Trump at a watch party in Palm Beach, Fla., shared how one image of each president he’s photographed throughout his career came together. — Megan DiTrolioWe are having trouble retrieving the article content.Please enable JavaScript in your browser settings.Thank you for your patience while we verify access.

      Elecciones de Estados Unidos en vivo: Trump y Harris hacen campaña en estados clave

      Green Bay, Wis.Doug Mills/The New York TimesRaleigh, N.C.Kenny Holston/The New York TimesMadison, Wis. Jim Vondruska for The New York Times Green Bay, Wis.Doug Mills/The New York Times📌 Lo más recienteEl expresidente Donald Trump y la vicepresidenta Kamala Harris recorrerán hoy el suroeste en una de sus últimas giras de campaña en la región antes del día de las elecciones. Tras perseguirse mutuamente desde Carolina del Norte hasta Wisconsin ayer, ambos celebran hoy mítines en Arizona y Nevada: Phoenix, Reno y Las Vegas para Harris; y a las afueras de Las Vegas y Phoenix para Trump, que también tiene previsto hacer una parada en Albuquerque, en tradicionalmente demócrata Nuevo México.Sus compañeros de papeleta también estarán en campaña. JD Vance, senador por Ohio, celebrará una asamblea pública enfocada en los votantes más jóvenes en la Universidad de High Point, en Carolina del Norte. Tim Walz, gobernador de Minnesota, hará campaña en Erie, Pensilvania.Faltan cinco días para la jornada electoral.Esto es lo que hay que saber:Actualizaciones de los reporterosNicky Jam retira su apoyo a Trump¿Son legales los selfis electorales?¿Cuándo habrá resultados para presidente?Más para ponerse al díaActualizaciones de los reporterosEn Michigan, un estado clave donde 5,5 millones de personas votaron en las últimas elecciones presidenciales, ya se han entregado casi 1,8 millones de votos en ausencia, según funcionarios electorales. Durante los primeros cinco días de votación anticipada en persona en la mayoría de las ciudades y pueblos, más de 100.000 personas acudieron a las urnas cada día. Donald Trump, el entonces presidente, perdió el estado ante Joseph Biden por menos de 160.000 votos en 2020, y las encuestas muestran una carrera increíblemente reñida entre Trump y la vicepresidenta Kamala Harris.El líder de Hungría cruza los dedos por TrumpViktor Orbán, primer ministro de Hungría y aliado de Donald Trump, muy criticado por sus ataques a las normas democráticas, escribió el jueves en X que acababa de hablar por teléfono con el expresidente. “Le deseé la mejor de las suertes para el próximo martes”, escribió. “Solo faltan cinco días.
