The Super Tuesday on March 5 is the biggest day ahead of the US presidential elections as it will award the highest delegates to candidates on a single day - a make-or-break moment for them. Joe Biden has an unrivalled lead in the Democratic, while Donald Trump leads Nikki Haley in the GOP race.
Dr. Kevin O'Connor, Biden's physician, wrote that the president is adjusting well to a new device that helps control his sleep apnea and has experienced some hip discomfort but also works out five times per week.
Trump, meanwhile, has underperformed with suburban voters and people with a college degree, and faces a faction within his own party that believes he broke the law in one or more of the criminal cases against him.
Biden's response came as the US President seeks to tamp down voter worries and Republican criticisms about his age and stamina by ramping up his appearances.
Haley, who appeared to have outperformed expectations based on opinion polls, defiantly insisted she would fight at least through "Super Tuesday" on March 5, when Republicans in 15 states and one US territory will cast ballots.
Haley raised copious amounts of campaign money and is scheduled to begin a cross-country campaign swing on Sunday in Michigan ahead of Super Tuesday on March 5, when many delegate-rich states hold primaries. But it's unclear how she can stop Trump from clinching enough delegates.
The Kremlin slammed Biden's "churlish" remark and said he behaves in "Hollywood cowboy style" to serve internal political interests. Putin had earlier said he prefers Biden over Trump as US President because the former is more experienced and predictable.
Haley, who has been highly critical of former President Donald Trump, called his recent remarks on NATO "bone-chilling" and accused him of empowering Russian President Vladimir Putin. She stressed on the need to empower alliances with NATO and regional allies to deter threats.
Justice Arthur Engoron, in a sharply worded decision issued after a contentious three-month trial in Manhattan, ruled on Friday that Trump must pay $354.9 million in penalties for fraudulently overstating his net worth to dupe lenders, another legal setback in a civil case.
The lawsuit brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James accused Trump and his family businesses of overstating his net worth by as much as $3.6 billion a year over a decade to fool bankers into giving him better loan terms.
The war of words between two Republican presidential candidates started with a Trump rally on Saturday in South Carolina where the 77-year-old former president, seemingly unaware of his deployment, started questioning his whereabouts.
Separately, Trump also defeated Haley by a wide margin at a Republican caucus held on Thursday in the US Virgin Islands, despite officials flouting several GOP rules. Trump secured all of Nevada's 26 delegates, inching closer to a 2020 rematch with his rival Joe Biden.
Nikki Haley, who is already lagging behind Trump in polls, became the first candidate to lose “none of these candidates” since it was introduced in 1975. Despite downplaying the loss, the results are a major setback to Haley's hopes of trouncing Trump for the Republican presidential nomination.
This comes after two swatting incidents were reported in recent months at her home in South Carolina, one of which happened while her parents were there. Haley has asserted that such incidents will not deter her from "doing what she needs to do".
Addressing a crowd in Las Vegas on Sunday, Biden, who turned 81 last November, erroneously reminisced about his recent conversation with former French president Francois Mitterrand who died in January 1996.
Nikki Haley is trailing ex-US President Donald Trump by 30 points in her home state of South Carolina after the Iowa and New Hampshire primaries, but is gradually improving. She launched an aggressive campaign after receiving support from her supporters asking her to stay in the race.
Haley suffered a blow after Trump edged her out in the New Hampshire primary, tightening his grip on the Republican presidential nomination and increasing chances of a rematch with Joe Biden. Haley is now looking for a strong show in her home state of South Carolina on February 23.
The results were a setback for Haley, Trump's sole challenger, whose options for a presidential nomination are reducing quickly. Trump has now become the first Republican presidential candidate to win primaries in Iowa and New Hampshire since both states began leading the election calendar in 1976.
The vice president is scheduled to begin a series of events focused on abortion in Wisconsin, a key battleground state. Harris' remarks come after Trump secured a landslide victory in the Iowa presidential elections, solidifying a possible 2020 rematch with President Joe Biden in November.
Ramaswamy ended fourth in the Iowa caucuses behind Nikki Haley and suspended his presidential campaign, endorsing Trump for the candidature. Ramaswamy praised the former President throughout his campaigns and even vowed to pardon him from legal cases if elected.
