Congress Has Lost Its Moorings, No Debate About That: Jyotiraditya Scindia

The Congress party has lost its moorings because of leadership's disconnect with the public and the vision for India, Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia said, adding the opposition party is in a very steady state of decline. Mr Scindia, who quit the Congress in 2020 to join the BJP, said his former party has lost its connection in terms of leadership. "I think the Congress Party has lost its moorings. There's no debate about that, it has lost its moorings," he said in a text and video interview with PTI. He was asked if the Congress party had lost the momentum after better-than-expected performance in the April-May general elections. "To be very candid with you, I have no assessment of the Congress party. I believe that the Congress Party is in a very steady state of decline, and I think that's because of three things.

Explained: Why Kamala Harris's Historic White House Bid Fell Short

In a meeting with one of America's most powerful unions in September at its Washington headquarters, Vice President Kamala Harris said she'd protect union jobs and workers' livelihoods better than Donald Trump. But leaders of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, long staunchly allied with her Democratic Party, appeared unconvinced. When Harris argued that her Republican rival was no champion of the working class, the union bosses grilled her, questioning whether she and President Joe Biden had done enough for union workers, according to a Teamster leader who recounted the Sept. 16 meeting to Reuters. Within days, the union publicly embarrassed Harris by declining to endorse a Democratic presidential candidate for the first time since 1996. In the wake of Harris' loss of the 2024 presidential election, her tense exchange with union leaders underscores a critical failure of her campaign: connecting with working-class voters anxious about the economy and high pric

Harris Campaign Spends Final Hours Reminding Pennsylvania Of Trump Ally's Joke About Puerto Rico

The day before Election Day, 17-year-old girl Carmen Hernandez held a cardboard sign with the Puerto Rican flag outside Trump's rally in Reading, Pennsylvania, a city that is two-thirds Hispanic. "What you call trash is our treasure," the sign read. While Trump's campaign had quickly distanced itself from a comic's slam on Puerto Rico as a "floating island of garbage," Kamala Harris' campaign and other Democrats spent the last hours of the 2024 campaign in the nation's largest battleground state linking him to the joke. Harris devoted much of her final full day on the campaign trail to reaching Latino voters in Pennsylvania, a swing state that Democrats consider part of their "blue wall" in the Electoral College. She made multiple stops in what is known as the 222 Corridor, after the highway that connects small cities and towns west and north of Philadelphia. More than 315,000 people who are 18 and older identify as Puerto Ricans in
