Here is a summary of the most recent news stories from all over the United States.
On Saturday, Donald Trump resumed his campaign tour with a rally in New Hampshire. During the event, he used divisive language such as “blood and soil”, praised statements made by Vladimir Putin and Viktor Orban, and referred to individuals charged for their involvement in the January 6th riots as “hostages”.
He reiterated his claim that immigrants are “contaminating the nation’s blood,” sparking concerns about his escalating inflammatory language as he campaigns for the Republican presidential nomination.
As the United States nears the third commemoration of the assault on the Capitol, driven by his unfounded assertion that the 2020 election was fraudulently taken from him, he referred to those incarcerated in relation to the incident as “hostages” instead of “prisoners.”
The day after a federal jury found his former lawyer Rudy Giuliani guilty of falsely accusing former Georgia election workers Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss of election fraud, he paid a visit, despite the ruling ordering him to pay almost $150 million in damages.
Following a four-day case of slander and a day of discussion, all eight jurors came to a unanimous decision that the ex-mayor of New York should provide each plaintiff with around $16 million in restitution, as well as an extra $20 million for deliberate harm to their emotional well-being. Additionally, they determined that an additional $75 million should be paid in punitive damages.
Outside of the courthouse, Mr. Giuliani remained unapologetic and stated his intention to appeal.
Trump brings back discriminatory attacks against immigrants and recites song lyrics that he believes serve as a cautionary message about immigrants.
During his rally in Reno on Sunday evening, Trump made an untrue statement about migrants, stating that they are crossing the border in the hundreds of thousands. He also promised that if he becomes president, he will put a stop to this “invasion.”
He made a pledge to carry out the biggest deportation operation in US history, but then gave an exaggerated estimate of the number of migrants who entered the US from Mexico during Biden’s presidency (around 15-16 million people).
Trump falsely claimed that the US is being flooded by thousands of Chinese immigrants, primarily young men in their 20s. He referred to this demographic as “the perfect age for an army.”
For the consecutive evening, he performed a tune originally penned by civil rights advocate Oscar Brown in 1963, which later gained popularity as a hit song for soul vocalist Al Wilson.
According to Trump, the way he delivers the lyrics in “The Snake” is similar to reading a book to young children. He believes the song serves as a warning against letting immigrants into the United States. However, the original intention of the song was to be a metaphor for civil rights in white society.
“Do these lyrics ring a bell?” Trump inquired to the audience.
Trump has not yet repeated his statement echoing Mein Kampf that immigrants are “polluting the blood of our nation.”
Donald Trump made a delayed entrance onto the stage in Reno, arriving one and a half hours after the scheduled time.
Trump was introduced to the stage in Reno by Nevada’s GOP chair Michael McDonald, who was criminally charged days ago along with five other Republicans in the state for falsely pledging the state’s electoral votes to Trump in the 2020 presidential election.
At least five states have initiated criminal inquiries into the fraudulent electoral plot, and legal authorities in two states – Georgia and Michigan – have pressed criminal charges against those involved.
Donald Trump arrived on stage approximately 90 minutes behind schedule for his second rally in consecutive days.
The total expense incurred as a result of Trump’s false claims surrounding the election has reached almost $1 billion.
That number will continue to increase.
In just eight months of 2023, the economic consequences of the 2020 election deceit amounted to over $935 million.
This amount does not account for potential losses in lawsuits against Fox News, and also does not factor in the increasing legal expenses related to numerous cases linked to the January 6 attack on the US Capitol. Additionally, there are federal and state criminal cases against Trump and his supporters for their alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election results, fueled by the continued false belief that the outcome was unfairly taken from him.
DeSantis is falling behind in the latest poll, while Trump is anticipating a strong victory in the Iowa caucus.
According to a recent poll, Donald Trump is poised to win by a large margin in the initial stage of the 2024 presidential race, outpacing his opponents.
The latest poll from CBS News, released on Sunday, will serve as one of the final gauges of the Iowa Republican voters before the caucuses commence on January 15th.
Iowa residents are expected to give the former president a significant victory, as his closest opponent is behind him by 36%.
John Bowden from The Independent has reported:
According to Nikki Haley, directing attention towards President Trump’s legal battles is a futile use of energy.
Nikki Haley, a contender for the Republican nomination in 2024 against the former president, refuses to comment on his numerous legal battles.
She stated that examining how they impacted his campaign would be a futile use of energy.
She stated that she will leave it up to the courts to sort out. She also mentioned that the last thing she will do is give her opinion or educate herself on the specifics of his legal proceedings because she is unable to keep track of 91 charges.
The statement made by Trump, accusing of ‘poisoning the blood of the country’, has caused concern among critics, who compare it to Hitler’s rhetoric.
After attempting his anti-immigrant plans and promoting aggressive language on various social media platforms, in interviews, and at campaign events, Donald Trump revisited New Hampshire on Saturday with a statement reminiscent of both Mein Kampf and white supremacist declarations.
The leading candidate for the Republican presidential nomination has increased his use of inflammatory and degrading language and has proudly embraced his reputation as a “day one dictator.” His supporters and campaign team dismiss and deny warnings from political rivals and critics about his promotion of fascist rhetoric.
President Trump will address his supporters in Nevada later today.
Following his speech in New Hampshire this past Saturday, Donald Trump will address his supporters in Reno, Nevada at 2pm on Sunday. This is part of his campaign’s vigorous efforts to gain momentum leading up to the early Republican primary elections next year.
His campaign is also aiming to reduce the impact of any signs of progress from his Republican competitors, such as Nikki Haley, who will be campaigning in Iowa on Sunday.
Donald Trump recently traveled to Nevada following the announcement of criminal charges against a number of his supporters, including the state’s Republican party leader. These individuals were accused of making false promises to award the state’s electoral votes to Trump during the 2020 presidential election.
Five states have initiated criminal investigations into their attempts to undermine, and two states – Georgia and Michigan – have pressed charges against those involved.

Senator Joe Manchin of the United States, who has been contemplating a potential presidential run as a third-party candidate, expressed concerns about the backing for Donald Trump among Americans.
During an interview on CNN’s State of the Union, Jake Tapper asked if Democratic officials should be concerned about President Joe Biden’s chances for re-election. In response, the senator cautioned that another Trump presidency could potentially endanger American democracy.
“I believe we should all be worried about the backing that Donald Trump has,” he stated on Sunday. “He has made it clear who he truly is. And when someone reveals their true self, we should take their word for it.”
He stated that under a Trump administration, democracy would not be the same as it has been for the past 230 years.
“And now, we find ourselves facing a threat,” he stated. “Can our democracy endure? We have faced challenging moments, Jake.”
This is his response to whether he has a set schedule for announcing a third-party candidacy.
Can influential donors propel Nikki Haley to victory over the seemingly unbeatable Donald Trump?
According to Kelly Rissman of The Independent, the ex-UN ambassador is garnering interest from various media outlets, donors, and political leaders. It is uncertain whether her recent acquisitions will give her a fair chance against the previous president.
A federal judge cautions about a delay in handling cases related to the events of January 6.
