Donald Trump relaunched his campaign at a rally in Florida, where he took the opportunity to criticize the Biden administration in his latest speech. He made it clear that his criticism was not aimed solely at Joe Biden, but also at Vice President Kamala Harris.

With the current uncertainty surrounding Biden’s ability to continue his campaign, Trump’s new approach seems to indicate that he sees Kamala Harris as a real potential opponent in this presidential race… and with good reason.

Trump has adopted the moniker “Biden and Harris” to refer to the Democratic administration, underscoring a change in tactics in his campaign.
Trump also criticized Harris for her lack of leadership in the responsibilities assigned to her, while falsely claiming that Kamala Harris had never visited the U.S.-Mexico border, when in fact the vice president made a visit to the border in June 2021.

After several days of silence following Biden’s disastrous debate, Trump finally found his angle, accusing the Democrats of being involved in the biggest information withholding scandal in history.
He insinuated that Biden’s state of health was being hidden from the public by his party.
The White House issued a statement earlier this week detailing the president’s doctor’s medical visits.

Kamala Harris embarked on a series of events to shore up support for Biden, highlighting the Democrats’ positive record and highlighting the successes of his administration during his first term. Conversely, she didn’t forget to mention Trump’s dangerous policies and Project 2025, a worrying plan from the Republican right that proposes ultra-conservative (and sometimes downright deranged) policies for Donald Trump’s potential second term.

Although Trump’s entourage hopes that Biden will remain in the race, Trump’s choice to target Kamala Harris suggests that his campaign strategy is slightly affected by the recent turn of events.
Apparently irritated at not being the center of attention, or perhaps frightened at the idea of facing another candidate, Donald Trump reacted sharply against George Clooney following the publication of an op-ed by the actor in the New York Times… yet against Joe Biden.
Donald Trump Fires Back at George Clooney Over Biden Op-Ed: He ‘Should Get Out of Politics and Go Back to TV. Movies Never Really Worked Out’ https://t.co/Nr0wnqmLrt
In the article, which had the effect of a small political bombshell, Clooney advised President Joe Biden to drop his bid for the 2024 presidential election, the actor’s opinions apparently didn’t sit well with Trump.
On Truth Social, Trump criticized George Clooney, calling him a “fake movie actor” and claiming he’d never come close to starring in a major motion picture.

George Clooney, famous for his support of the Democratic Party and having recently helped raise $30 million for Joe Biden’s campaign, said in an op-ed that age had changed Biden and it was time to choose another candidate.
Trump attacked Clooney, accusing him of turning his back on Biden like a rat, while adding that he and Biden were similar. Trump questioned Clooney’s competence on any subject and criticized the actor for taking up the Democratic argument that Biden, whom he called the worst president in US history, had saved democracy.
Getty Images
It’s worth remembering that in his New York Times article earlier this week, George Clooney expressed his admiration and respect for Joe Biden, as Senator, Vice President and President. He emphasized their friendship and his confidence in Biden, affirming his belief in the latter’s morality and character.
However, Clooney expressed concern about Biden’s abilities, observing a notable decline since the last election. He cited Biden’s disappointing performance in a recent debate with Trump to support his view that Biden is no longer the dynamic leader he once supported. Clooney claimed to have observed Biden’s weaknesses himself a few weeks earlier, at a fundraising event for Biden’s campaign.

In his complaints against the actor, Trump ultimately suggests that Clooney should give up politics and return to television.
Advice that could also apply to himself, when you think about it.
Elon Musk wins a legal victory in the face of a lawsuit filed by former employees of Twitter, now renamed X. A federal court in San Francisco has dismissed the suit by former Twitter employees seeking $500 million in compensation.
Elon Musk was accused of failing to pay $500 million to more than 6,000 laid-off employees following his acquisition of Twitter, a transaction valued at $44 billion and finalized on October 27, 2022.

The judge in charge of the case determined that the fired employees were not entitled to severance pay under the federal Employee Retirement Insurance Security Act.
Getty Images
Among his first measures after acquiring Twitter in 2022, Musk had made a significant reduction in the company’s workforce. In response, laid-off employees filed several lawsuits seeking financial compensation.
Elon Musk announced at the time that all employees leaving the company would receive severance pay equivalent to three months’ salary.

However, the plaintiffs alleged that some employees had received only one month’s salary or no severance pay at all.
Ellen DeGeneres made it abundantly clear at her show in Santa Rosa, California: she’s done with the industry.
While there for three consecutive nights on her Ellen’s Last Stand… Up tour, the comedian announced to the audience that they would never see her on stage again, or at all, the SFGate reported first.
Her most emblematic role, however, as the wife martyred by a deranged Jack Nicholson at the height of his career in Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining, is the one that will endure forever in the imagination of cinephiles around the world.

Duvall reportedly died in her sleep from complications of diabetes at her home in Texas, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Her long-time partner confirmed her death, according to the same source.
In a surprising and devastating op-ed published in the New York Times, George Clooney urged President Joe Biden to withdraw from the presidential race.

George Clooney writes: “This is about age. Nothing more. But also nothing that can be reversed. We are not going to win in November with this president.” https://t.co/BOkwvhjNsI
In doing so, he joins a growing number of celebrities who support the Democratic Party and are calling on the president to cede his seat to another candidate to face Donald Trump in the next election.

Clooney, a longtime Biden supporter and friend, said he was devastated to have to admit that the Joe Biden who was with him three weeks ago at a fundraiser was neither the Joe Biden of the famous “big f*cking deal” of 2010, nor even the Joe Biden of the 2020 elections.
Clooney expresses his dismay at seeing Biden weakened, and his comment highlights the loss of confidence among some of Biden’s most loyal supporters and the growing calls for new leadership within the Democratic Party.
Getty Images
Although Clooney recognizes Biden’s accomplishments and praised his contribution to saving democracy in 2020.
The actor expresses that the president’s current state of health and energy level could threaten the Democratic Party’s chances in the next election.
Getty Images
Clooney’s appeal comes after Joe Biden’s disappointing performance in the televised debate against Donald Trump, as we know.
Remember that a few weeks before the debate, a fundraiser organized by Clooney for Joe Biden in Los Angeles had raised over $30 million! Quite a turnaround for the well-known actor…

However, Clooney seems to share the growing concerns of many Democratic legislators and donors.
As the Democratic National Convention and several fundraising events approach, uncertainty prevails.

At the time of writing, President Biden remains committed to staying in the race until the end.
A recent court ruling in Moscow has ordered the arrest in absentia of Yulia Navalnaya, the widow of Russian opposition leader Alexey Navalny. Russian court representative Kira Yarmysh confirmed the decision, reporting that the Basmannyy district court had charged Yulia Navalnaya with “participation in an extremist organization”.
Alexey Navalny,a well-known critic of Russian President Vladimir Putin, died on February 16 while imprisoned in a Siberian penitentiary. He had been convicted of creating and financing an extremist group while serving a cumulative 19-year sentence.

Navalny’s death sparked national and international outrage, highlighting the dangers of opposing Putin’s regime, which has been in place for almost 25 years. His death came just weeks before the forthcoming Russian presidential elections, due to start on March 15. The international community regards these elections as mere formalities, while Putin’s fifth term was all but assured.

Navalny’s return to Russia in 2021 marked the beginning of his final chapter. Navalny, who had been treated in Germany for poisoning by novichok, a Soviet-era neurotoxin, was arrested on arrival in Russia. Navalny had rejected the charges that led to his imprisonment, believing them to be politically motivated.
Getty Images
Despite the threats, Navalny remained steadfast in his criticism of Putin.
In the aftermath of her husband’s death, Yulia Navalnaya had accused the Russian authorities and President Putin of being behind the tragedy.
Getty Images
In an eight-minute video posted on her husband’s social account, Navalnaya accused Putin of killing the father of her children and taking away the person she loved most. She claimed that the Russian authorities were hiding her husband’s body in order to conceal the true cause of death.

The Kremlin firmly rejects any allegation of involvement in Navalny’s death. Yulia Navalnaya is determined to pursue her husband’s vision for a better Russia.
In a phone interview with Sean Hannity on Fox News, former President Donald Trump shared his thoughts on rival Joe Biden. Trump believes Biden will stay… because of his ego!
Trump, the Republican candidate in the running, addressed the mounting pressure pushing Biden to step down, due to concerns about his physical and mental health. Trump is confident that Biden will continue his campaign despite these concerns, because in his opinion, Biden is driven by his ego and does not wish to withdraw.
According to Trump, the Democratic Party has few options to force Biden out of the race.
Getty Images
Trump also speculated on the consequences of a Biden withdrawal, and speculated that Vice President Kamala Harris would likely be the Democratic nominee. He thinks this will be the case, as he believes Democrats would be very concerned if she wasn’t nominated as a replacement candidate.
Trump’s statements come after Joe Biden recently affirmed in a letter to his party his intention to continue his campaign, despite criticism following his disappointing performance at last month’s debate. In the letter, sent to congressional Democrats, Biden vowed to carry on his campaign and defeat Donald Trump.
Getty Images
In addition, six Democratic elected officials, as well as several celebrities and major party donors, publicly urged Biden to step down, citing his performance at the recent debate and expressing doubts about his ability to fulfill his duties.
Trump described the debate as a strange evening, mentioning that he found Biden’s voice weak and admitting that he didn’t understand exactly what was going on.

The months ahead promise an even stranger fight for the presidency. The coming months promise an even stranger battle for the presidency than it already was!
