Description

Former president Donald Trump held a rally at Madison Square Garden where inflammatory comments were made by opening speakers, including a comedian's remark about Puerto Rico and derogatory comments about Vice President Harris, while Trump labeled Democrats as “the enemy within.” In Georgia, President Salome Zourabichvili called for protests in the capital against the ruling party's election win, rejecting the results as a sign of Russian influence. Michele Norris resigned from the Washington Post in protest of the paper's decision not to endorse a presidential candidate for 2024, criticizing it as a departure from its historical practice. The Egyptian president proposed a two-day cease-fire in Gaza, aiming to release hostages and increase aid, as tensions escalate amid ongoing violence. Shohei Ohtani is expected to play in Game 3 of the World Series after a shoulder injury, as the Dodgers lead the series against the Yankees.
