Harris gains massive support.

Hundreds of former Republican officials have endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris, amid expectations that she will help the Democratic Party increase its control of both houses of Congress.

CBS reported on August 27th that more than 200 Republican members who had worked for the late President George H.W. Bush, former President George W. Bush, the late Senator John McCain, and Senator Mitt Romney have declared their support for Vice President Kamala Harris in the race for the White House. Supporting the Democratic candidate, the group of Republicans argued that democracy would be "irreparably damaged" if the United States had another term under former President Donald Trump.

"Be brave again"

In an open letter, the group of party members acknowledged ideological disagreements with the Democratic ticket, but stated that this was normal and that "alternatives are unacceptable." The letter urged moderate Republicans and independent voters in battleground states that previously voted for President Joe Biden to "take courage once again." In another development favorable to Harris, the latest analysis by The Hill and Decision Desk HQ shows that Harris replacing Biden has increased the Democratic Party's chances of controlling the White House and both houses of Congress. Accordingly, Harris now has a 55% chance of winning the election compared to Biden's previous 44%. The Republican Party has a 67% chance of controlling the Senate, down from 78% before Biden withdrew. Similarly, the party has a 56% chance of controlling the House of Representatives compared to 61% previously. While many Republicans support Harris, a notable development in the opposite direction is former Democratic Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard (43 years old) declaring her support for Trump. Gabbard ran for president in 2020. She left the party in 2022 and became an independent politician , according to Fox News .

"Embarrassing Day"

In an effort to halt the Democrats' advance, Trump criticized the current administration for "the collapse of trust and respect for America" ​​following the Kabul bombing three years ago as the US-led coalition withdrew from Afghanistan. The incident killed 13 US soldiers and over 100 Afghans. Speaking in Detroit, Michigan, Trump said the withdrawal was "the most shameful day in our nation's history" and caused global conflict. "It led to Russia sending troops into Ukraine, Hamas attacking Israel because it caused us to lose respect," The Hill quoted him as saying. He also devoted much of his speech to the US-Mexico border, vowing to stop the flow of illegal immigrants into the US. Additionally, he outlined his military policy priorities if elected, including establishing a National Guard within the Space Force, ending the Ukraine war, and preventing what he called the possibility of World War III. The former president pledged to build a missile defense system similar to the Iron Dome system that helps Israel intercept short-range rockets.

Proposal to reopen the case against Mr. Trump

AFP reported on August 27 that Special Counsel Jack Smith is asking an appeals court to reopen the case against former President Trump regarding classified documents, which had been dismissed by a federal judge. Trump is accused of illegally possessing classified documents at his Florida home and obstructing recovery efforts, even after leaving office. The case was dismissed last month on the grounds that Special Counsel Jack Smith was illegally appointed. However, Smith appealed on August 26, arguing that his appointment was legal.
