30 actors who played the president of the United States, and how they compare to the real thing

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Joe Biden is singing the praises of Kamala Harris as calls for him to step aside grow.</li><li>"She's not only a great vice president, she could be president of the United States," he said.</li></ul>President Joe Biden is heaping praise on Vice President Kamala Harris, saying she "could be the president of the United States."<a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLdcEE_SGPQ">Speaking</a> at an NAACP event, he started by slamming former President Donald Trump for his claim during the presidential debate last month that immigrants are "taking Black jobs.""I know what a Black job is. It's the vice president of the United States," he said."Folks, because of you, I am president and Kamala Harris is vice president," he said before adding: "And by the way, she's not only a great vice president, she could be president of the United States."This appeared to be a more articulate version of his praise for Harris at a press conference on Thursday, during which he <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/joe-biden-refers-kamala-harris-vice-president-trump-nato-conference-2024-7">mixed up Harris' and Trump's names</a>."Look, I wouldn't have picked Vice President Trump to be vice president if I didn't think she was not qualified to be vice president," Biden said during the press conference.To be sure, Biden has maintained that he does not intend to drop out of the race amid mounting pressure from Democratic lawmakers, <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/democratic-megadonors-biden-drop-out-list-reed-hastings-abigail-disney-2024-7">donors</a>, and political commentators to step aside in favor of another candidate.In a <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XJP2zlH2nt8">recorded interview</a> on Friday, Complex Networks' Speedy Morman asked Biden whether he was committed to continuing in the race.Biden responded: "Unless I get hit by a train, yeah."He's marching on despite at least <a target="_blank" rel="" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/which-elected-democrats-called-on-joe-biden-drop-out-2024-7">18 House Democrats</a> and <a target="_blank" rel="" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/sen-peter-welch-democrat-calls-biden-drop-out-race-2024-2024-7">one Democratic senator</a> calling on him to quit.In a <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/joe-biden-letter-confronts-democrats-pushing-drop-out-2024-7">letter</a> to House Democrats on July 8, he said: "I wouldn't be running again if I did not absolutely believe I was the best person to beat Donald Trump in 2024."An <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.langerresearch.com/wp-content/uploads/1233a1AftertheDebate.pdf">Ipsos poll</a> of registered voters conducted for ABC News and The Washington Post between July 5 and 9 found that if Harris ran for the top job instead of Biden, she would have a 2-percentage-point edge over Trump.The poll surveyed 2,431 adults and found Harris had a lead over Trump of 49% to 47% among the registered voters surveyed.In contrast, <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.realclearpolling.com/polls/president/general/2024/trump-vs-biden">RealClearPolitics' polling averages</a> indicate that Biden trails Trump in six key swing states.Biden's campaign manager has said that if Biden quits, most of his <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/biden-aide-top-donors-cash-kamala-harris-if-he-quits-2024-7">campaign's sizable war chest</a> will go to Harris.While Harris has backed Biden, she's appeared <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/biden-fumbles-but-harris-does-her-best-at-looking-presidential-2024-7">increasingly presidential</a> after the debate.For instance, on the same day that Biden held a press conference following the NATO summit, Harris put on her own show on the campaign trail in North Carolina.Her staff also changed her schedule after the June CNN debate, having her appear beside Biden for the Fourth of July fireworks and a picnic at the White House, something she had not done before, per <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/07/09/us/politics/kamala-harris-biden-democrats.html">The New York Times</a>.Representatives for the Biden-Harris campaign did not immediately respond to requests for comment from Business Insider sent outside regular business hours.Correction: July 17, 2024 — An earlier version of this story misstated when an Ipsos poll took place.

In a significant diplomatic move, Prime Minister Narendra Modi met with Maldives President Mohamed Muizzu at <keyword id="20751669" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Hyderabad-House" source="keywords" meta.keywordsubtype="org" meta.entityname="Hyderabad House" meta.hostid="261" meta.entityid="Hyderabad House">Hyderabad House</keyword> in Delhi on Monday. This visit is widely seen as an effort to reset ties between the two nations after a year of tense relations. <keyword id="20101322" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="President-Muizzu" source="keywords">President Muizzu</keyword>, who arrived in India on Sunday for a five-day visit, received a red carpet welcome. During a joint press briefing, President Muizzu expressed heartfelt gratitude to India, thanking President Droupadi Murmu, <keyword id="19899320" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="PM-Modi" source="keywords">PM Modi</keyword> and the people of India for their warm reception. He emphasised the Maldives' deep-rooted ties with India, noting that tourism — especially Indian visitors—remains a crucial pillar of the Maldivian economy. “India is our largest source market for tourists, and we hope to welcome even more Indian visitors in the future,” Muizzu remarked. Key areas of cooperation discussed included economic ties and maritime security, critical given the Maldives' position in the Indian Ocean. Following their talks, India granted the financially struggling Maldives a rollover of USD 100 million in Treasury bills, in addition to formalising a <keyword id="23458604" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="currency-swap-agreement" source="keywords">currency swap agreement</keyword> and a ₹3,000 crore currency swap. Prime Minister Modi characterised the "development partnership" as a key component of India-Maldives relations, asserting that India has consistently prioritised the needs of the Maldivian people. "Our development partnership is vital to our relationship with the Maldives, and we have always placed importance on the priorities of its people. This year, SBI rolled over USD 100 million in Treasury Bills, and a USD 400 million currency swap agreement was signed based on the Maldives' requirements," he explained. <div type="Article" hostid="261" msid="106837748" title="Withdraw troops by mid-March, Maldives tells India" mstype="2" mssubtype="0"></div>In September, India announced that the <keyword id="19934368" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="State-Bank-of-India" source="keywords" meta.keywordsubtype="org" meta.entityname="State Bank of India" meta.hostid="261" meta.entityid="State Bank of India">State Bank of India</keyword> would purchase Maldivian government bonds worth USD 50 million, following a similar USD 50 million transaction in May 2024. Additionally, Prime Minister Modi and President Muizzu witnessed the first <keyword id="20563654" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="RuPay-card" source="keywords">RuPay card</keyword> payment transaction launched in the Maldives and virtually inaugurated the runway at Hanimaadhoo International Airport. Modi stated that India and the Maldives would soon be connected through UPI. "Recently, we launched the RuPay card in the Maldives, and in the future, we will link both countries via UPI," he said during a joint press briefing. Muizzu also expressed his desire to conclude a <keyword id="19945642" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Free-Trade-Agreement" source="keywords">Free Trade Agreement</keyword> with India, a step he believes will open the door to greater Indian investment in the Maldives. Modi emphasised India's commitment to supporting the Maldives through various initiatives, including supplying essential commodities and Covid vaccines, inaugurating airports, and constructing social housing. He noted that a new drinking water project is now operational on 28 islands, providing clean water to over 30,000 residents. The leaders also discussed the opening of consulates in Addu and Bengaluru. Tensions between India and the Maldives escalated following Muizzu's election last year, which saw a shift towards a pro-China stance and the promise to withdraw Indian troops stationed in the archipelago. His visit to China before India in January had raised eyebrows in New Delhi, as it was perceived as a slight. However, since attending Modi's swearing-in ceremony for a third term in June, Muizzu has moderated his anti-Indian rhetoric, signalling a thaw in relations. External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar has stated that the discussions provided "a new impetus" to the relationship. This meeting likely marks a positive turn in Indo-Maldivian relations, setting the stage for further cooperation between the two South Asian neighbours.

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Trump will try to use his new status as president-elect to his advantage in NY, experts tell BI.</li><li>Trump is expected to ask immediately to adjourn his hush-money sentencing, they predicted Wednesday.</li></ul>Donald Trump will use <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/election-results-trump-harris-presidential-election-2024-11">his new status as president-elect</a> in a renewed effort to challenge his upcoming sentencing on his Manhattan hush-money conviction, legal experts predicted Wednesday.Trump, <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/donald-trump-election-criminal-cases-presidency-2024-11">the only US president to be convicted</a> of a felony, is scheduled to be sentenced November 26. He faces as little as no jail time and as much as four years prison for falsifying business records to retroactively hide a $130,000 hush-money payment to porn actress Stormy Daniels made two weeks before the 2016 election.As Candidate Trump, he <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/delay-trump-sentencing-is-win-for-campaign-and-his-wallet-2024-9">fought to delay his sentencing</a> repeatedly, arguing that he was too busy and that his responsibilities as the GOP standard-bearer were too important for the case to interrupt.He'll push that argument even harder as president-elect, as his lawyers continue to pursue <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-now-says-scotus-immunity-voids-entire-hush-money-indictment-2024-7">time-consuming legal challenges</a> through the state and federal appellate courts and potentially to the US Supreme Court, as legal experts said he is entitled to do."He's definitely going to throw that around now," said Charles Solomon, who was a Manhattan-based state supreme court justice for 33 years before his 2017 retirement."Wouldn't you use that argument if you were president-elect? Of course he's going to argue that he's about to become leader of the free world, and this is a special case, something that's never happened before," Solomon added."What he's going to try to do is adjourn, adjourn, adjourn," while his lawyers challenge his indictment, trial, and conviction on presidential-immunity grounds, Solomon predicted."And if he doesn't get an adjournment, he can appeal that," the former judge added. "He can seek delays in so many ways."<div type="image" title="Donald Trump at his hush-money trial in Manhattan." height="1785" width="2500" msid="115031144" hostid="261" sizebytes="180074"></div><h2 id="73807c3a-d96a-4b1b-a948-13788ab2fc24">Trump's legal challenges to his hush-money case</h2>Manhattan prosecutors should expect Trump to file a request in the next few days asking the trial judge to adjourn the November 26 sentencing because he's too busy ahead of assuming office, experts predicted Wednesday.The judge, New York Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan, is meanwhile weighing a previous defense request to toss the entire indictment, or at least the conviction. Trump's defense team has argued prosecutors exposed grand jurors and the trial jury to evidence that would be considered "official-act" evidence — meaning evidence involving actions Trump took in his official capacity as president — now barred under the SCOTUS presidential immunity opinion.Prosecutors with the office of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg have countered that any official-act evidence used in their case <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/trumps-immunity-no-bearing-hush-money-conviction-da-bragg-2024-7">amounts to "harmless error."</a>Merchan has said he will issue a written decision on Tuesday, November 12, a week before the sentencing date. Trump's lawyers have said they are prepared to file an immediate state-court appeal if he loses.In a separate effort, Trump is fighting to have the case moved to federal court in Manhattan, again on presidential immunity grounds. A US District Court judge rejected that effort in September, and it remains under appeal by the Second Circuit Court of Appeals.If Merchan wants to proceed with the sentencing — and he may view himself as required to on speedy-trial grounds — Trump can seek a delay in the state and federal appellate courts, said Michel Paradis, an attorney who teaches national security and constitutional law at Columbia Law School."Any of those tracks can get you to the US Supreme Court pretty fast, if that's his goal," Paradis said.<div type="image" title="juan merchan courtroom sketch" height="2268" width="3024" msid="115031148" hostid="261" sizebytes="614716"></div><h2 id="a00f56b0-6ecf-421f-bdfe-956dd498f0ba">A 'unique place in this nation's history'</h2>Merchan addressed the unique circumstances of prosecuting, trying, and sentencing Trump in September, when he agreed to delay the sentencing for a second time.The original sentencing date was July 11, Merchan said in <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/25100960-ny-v-trump-merchan-sentence-delay-20240906">a four-page decision</a> that set the November date."However, on July 1, 2024, the Supreme Court of the United States rendered a historic and intervening decision in Trump v. United States," a decision the defense needed time to respond to, Merchan wrote.He decided to postpone the second sentencing date, September 18, until after the election in recognition of "the unique facts and circumstances of this case," Merchan wrote at the time."This matter is one that stands alone, in a unique place in this Nation's history," the judge added, alluding to Trump's presidential candidacy.Trump's prosecution was already unprecedented when Trump was only a nominee and former president, said Mark Bederow, a criminal defense attorney and former prosecutor for the Manhattan district attorney's office.Trump's election "takes it to a whole other level," Bederow said. "There's no playbook for any of this," he added. "A state judge is now potentially setting himself up to sentence the most powerful federal officer in the world."<div type="image" title="Donald Trump sits at the defense table at his Manhattan hush-money trial. He is flanked by attorneys Todd Blanche and Emil Bove." height="1667" width="2500" msid="115031145" hostid="261" sizebytes="199518"></div>Even if the sentencing happens before Inauguration Day, it's highly unlikely that as a 78-year-old first-time non-violent offender, <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/nyc-judges-weigh-in-on-trump-hush-money-sentencing-2024">Trump will get a jail sentence</a>, former New York City judges have told Business Insider."What's Merchan going to do? He's not going to argue that the next president should go to state prison," said Solomon, the former judge. "He's not going to have him do community service on weekends, and pick up trash in Central Park when he's not dealing with the Joint Chiefs of Staff."Any sentence Merchan metes out would be put on hold, or "stayed," pending Trump's appeal of his conviction, which itself would take years, experts said.Assuming Trump's sentencing delay bids fail, "Merchan will sentence Trump and Trump will appeal the conviction and sentence, first through the New York appellate courts and then the United States Supreme Court," said former federal prosecutor Neama Rahmani."It's more likely that Trump is fined and sentenced to no time and he has to appeal the conviction. This is all unprecedented," Rahmani, the president of West Coast Trial Lawyers, added as a caveat. "And we're in uncharted legal waters."Trump's campaign and lawyers did not immediately respond to a request for comment. A spokesperson for Bragg did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Vice President Harris and former President Trump remain locked in a tight contest ahead of November.</li><li>Harris leads in two new national polls, while both candidates were tied in a third survey.</li></ul>With less than a month before the November general election, <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/silicon-valley-billionaires-investors-kamala-harris-mark-cuban-reid-hoffman-2024-8">Vice President Kamala Harris</a> and <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-donald-trump-rally-butler-pennsylvania-assassination-attempt-2024-10">former President Donald Trump</a> are barnstorming the major swing states as they aim to rev up their respective bases and sway undecided voters.The <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/battleground-states-2024-presidential-election-road-white-house-2022-12">presidential election</a> will be decided in battlegrounds like Arizona, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, but national polls can also point to larger electoral trends.One thing is certain: The race remains incredibly close.Of the three major national polls released on Sunday, Harris retained an edge in two surveys while both candidates were tied in another.In the latest <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-harris-poll-how-information-beliefs-shape-tight-2024-campaign/">CBS News/YouGov poll</a>, Harris had a three-point lead over Trump (51% to 48%) among likely voters. And Harris also led in a new <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/economic-discontent-issue-divisions-add-tight-presidential-contest/story?id=114723390">ABC News/Ipsos poll</a> by two points (50% to 48%) among likely voters.But Harris and Trump were tied in the latest <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-election/dead-heat-trump-pulls-even-harris-nbc-news-poll-rcna174201">NBC News survey</a> (48% to 48%) among registered voters, with the former president <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-election/poll-newly-popular-harris-challenging-trump-change-rcna171308">erasing a five-point lead</a> for the vice president last month.What do these results say about where the race is headed?<h2 id="82c30d6e-fd0c-4c65-8191-7e31571f5194">The economy remains key</h2>One constant in the presidential race is the importance of economic issues in voters' minds.While the unemployment rate is significantly lower than four years ago, inflation has been a recurring issue for Americans.The economy has consistently been one of Trump's strongest issues. Had President Joe Biden remained the Democratic nominee, the former president's advantage on the issue might have been too much for Biden to overcome in states like <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/kamala-harris-immigration-border-security-arizona-trump-swing-voters-2024-8">Arizona</a> and Nevada.But after Biden stepped aside as the presumptive nominee in July, Harris' entry into the race upended the election and allowed Democrats to reframe their economic message independent of the president.In several swing-state polls, Harris has had some success in pulling closer to Trump on <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/harris-trump-blue-wall-economic-message-unions-michigan-pennsylvania-wisconsin-2024-10">the economy</a>.However, the three polls showed that Trump retained an economic advantage.In the NBC poll, Trump had an eleven-point lead over Harris (50% to 39%) on which candidate would best handle inflation and cost of living issues.Meanwhile, respondents in the ABC poll gave Trump an eight-point edge on the economy (46% to 38%) and a seven-point lead on tackling inflation (44% to 37%). However, in the ABC poll, Harris had a five-point advantage (42% to 37%) over Trump regarding which candidate would look out for middle-class Americans.<a target="_blank" href="https://affiliate.insider.com?h=982fc282ae574da29344163d4b9635f2e2200c89c1c6539a03873787497d6994&amp;postID=670bec12e5b540830055031c&amp;postSlug=harris-trump-national-polls-election-2024-10&amp;site=bi&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.scribd.com%2Fdocument%2F779428302%2Fcbsnews-20241013-SUN">In the CBS poll</a>, though, 67% of respondents said that prices on items they purchase have increased in recent months, while only 6% said that prices have declined. But Trump has zeroed in on this issue throughout his campaign.Both candidates — especially Harris — will continue emphasizing <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/what-us-economy-would-look-like-with-trump-biden-presidency-2024-5">economic matters</a> in the weeks ahead.<h2 id="bf4ca264-83a5-4c73-8928-f048c0430b04">Who's the change candidate?</h2>Despite having already served as president, Trump is running as a change candidate — touting conservative stances that would be a stark reversal from those of the Biden administration on issues ranging from immigration to <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/biden-sets-record-most-federal-court-judicial-confirmations-since-jfk-2022-8">judicial appointments</a>.Harris is also running as a change candidate. She's been more forceful than Biden in articulating her views on issues like reproductive rights and <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/kamala-harris-arizona-mexico-border-security-immigration-trump-election-2024-9">border security</a>.On most issues, Trump has sought to tie Harris to Biden at every turn.But so far, she has retained an edge — albeit narrow — on which candidate would represent change.In the NBC News poll, Harris had a five-point lead over Trump on which candidate represented change (45% to 40%). The figure marks a small decline from her nine-point edge in September (47% to 38%).With many voters seeking a candidate who'll shake things up from the Biden years, it's significant that Harris retains an advantage on the issue even though her overall lead in the NBC poll slipped. For many voters — especially young voters concerned over the economy and the <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/israel-military-superiority-lacks-strategic-vision-iran-lebanon-gaza-war-2024-10">conflict in Gaza</a> — the "change" factor remains critical.

A new study analysing long-Covid among children and teenagers in the US has found that <keyword id="44308" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="symptoms" source="Orion">symptoms</keyword> differed between the two groups. While children faced more brain and stomach-related problems, teenagers experienced fatigue, <keyword id="950054" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Physical-Pain" source="Orion">physical pain</keyword>, and loss of smell and taste. Moreover, long-Covid symptoms common in both adults and teens were more than those between teens and children, highlighting the importance of age groups-based COVID-19 research, according to the team of over 140 researchers that conducted the study. Published in The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), the study is part of the US National Institutes of Health (NIH)'s 'RECOVER' Initiative, aimed at understanding and preventing long-Covid, which refers to a set of persisting symptoms months after having COVID-19 <keyword id="6393040" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="infection" source="Orion">infection</keyword>. The researchers studied more than 5,300 children and adolescents, of whom about 3,860 -- - 751 children and 3109 adolescents -- had a history of the viral infection. Caregivers were surveyed for about 75 symptoms that occurred at least 90 days after an initial COVID-19 infection and lasted for at least a month. They were also enquired about their child's overall health and quality of life. Among children aged 6-11 years, the most common long <keyword id="8764262" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Covid" source="Orion">COVID</keyword> symptoms were headache (57%), followed by trouble with memory/focusing, trouble sleeping (44 %) and stomach pain (43 %), the study found. Among the adolescents, about 80% had tiredness or low energy during the day, while physical pain in the body, muscles and joints affected 60% of them. Headaches persisted in 55% of the teens, while 47% of them continued to have trouble remembering or concentrating. While identifying groups of symptoms distinct to each age group, the researchers developed a long-Covid research index that indicates the likelihood of the condition in a child or a teenager. The index, separate for both age groups, included 18 prolonged symptoms that were more common in children and 17 common among teenagers. "The symptoms that make up the research index are not the only symptoms a child may have and they're not the most severe. But they are most predictive in determining who may have long COVID," said lead author of the study Rachel Gross, an associate professor in the departments of <keyword id="492850" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Paediatrics" source="Orion">Paediatrics</keyword> and Population Health at New York University. In the study group, 45% of the infected (338) and 33% of the uninfected children, along with 39% of the infected and 27 % of the uninfected adolescents reported having at least one prolonged symptom, the authors of the study said. Twenty-six symptoms among infected school-age children and 18 symptoms in infected adolescents persisted in at least 5% of the participants, they said.

Symptoms of long Covid differ between children, teens: US study

<ul class="summary-list"><li>A new Des Moines Register/Mediacom Iowa poll shows Harris leading Trump by 3 points in the state.</li><li>It's a significant shift in a conservative-leaning state that Trump won by eight points in 2020.</li></ul>A new <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-iowa-poll-standing-harris-presidential-election-2024-9">Des Moines Register/Mediacom poll</a> published on Saturday showed Vice President Kamala Harris ahead of former President Donald Trump by three points in Iowa, a massive development in a state once <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-iowa-poll-standing-harris-presidential-election-2024-9">seen as a lock</a> for the former president.The Iowa poll — which is viewed as the gold standard of polling in the state and was conducted by the firm Selzer &amp; Co. — showed Harris ahead of Trump 47% to 44% among likely voters.Political experts told Business Insider that the Iowa poll is significant for the Harris campaign given that the demographic makeup of Iowa — rural, older, and largely white voters — is similar to some <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-harris-swing-states-election-2024-10">key swing states</a>."What makes Iowa a good conduit for states like Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, is because they're demographically very similar," John Conway, director of strategy for Republicans Voters Against Trump, said. He said all those states have a large share of white voters.Christian Grose, a professor of political science at the University of Southern California, also said the results bode well for Harris in other states. "This is probably good news for Harris in Wisconsin, Michigan, and elsewhere. If Harris is competitive in Iowa, combined with recent polling showing Trump with single-digit leads in Kansas and other red places, it bodes well for Harris."He added: "It's one poll, so normally, I wouldn't read too much into one poll, but this is a pollster who's pretty good and has been working in Iowa for a long time."The pollster — J. Ann Selzer — has had particular success predicting the Iowa caucuses, he added.Selzer founded Selzer &amp; Co. in 1996. She <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/selzer/">conducts polling</a> for private companies and public opinion surveys but Iowa politics remains her greatest strength, FiveThirtyEight reported in 2016.A representative for Selzer &amp; Co. did not respond to a request for comment.Patricia Crouse, adjunct professor of political science at the University of New Haven, said the Iowa poll is just one data point that shouldn't be used to predict the actual outcome, but that it's still a significant development for Harris considering Trump won the Hawkeye State in 2020 by eight points over now-President Joe Biden."I think we have to be very, very careful about how we're using polls in terms of predicting the outcome of this election, but I do think that even if it's just a moment in time — this poll that was just done — I still think it's significant that Harris is leading," she said. "Even if they were tied in Iowa, I think that's significant."<div type="image" title="Former President Donald Trump in Iowa." height="2636" width="3955" msid="114918467" hostid="261" sizebytes="223688"></div>Crouse said that Iowa's demographic is predominantly white and consists of an older generation of voters who typically skew Republican. That Harris might be gaining in a state like Iowa may signal that a different set of voters, including women and younger voters, are being underrepresented in polling."If Iowa flips to Harris, then it's possible that some of these swing states are being underestimated in their polls in terms of favorability for her," she said.<h2 id="ed1b80b8-1545-4cb3-b5aa-ee6ed22c4c35">Iowa's political shift has been dramatic</h2>A poll showing a Democratic presidential nominee with a lead in Iowa would not have caused such a stir in the past, given its longtime political competitiveness.In 2000, then-Vice President Al Gore won the state by less than a point over then-Texas Gov. George W. Bush. Bush flipped the state to the GOP in his 2004 presidential reelection bid, winning it by a razor-thin 0.67% margin.Iowa later played a key role in the launch of Barack Obama's presidency. In 2008, Obama won the state's Democratic caucus, which propelled his candidacy through the primary race. He went on to win the state easily that year and in his 2012 reelection bid.But the state has <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/iowa-democrats-struggling-ascendant-gop-2024-presidential-race-trump-biden-2023-8">tilted toward the GOP</a> in recent years.Trump defeated former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in the state in the 2016 presidential election. Republican Joni Ernst was first elected to the US Senate in 2014 and continues to hold her seat. And the state legislature is dominated by conservative Republicans.But some cracks are starting to show in the GOP's armor.The Republican-controlled legislature passed a six-week abortion ban that went into effect in July and has proven to be unpopular with Iowans, <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/news/politics/iowa-poll/2024/09/22/most-iowans-support-legal-abortion-oppose-iowas-six-week-ban-new-iowa-poll-shows-fetal-heartbeat-law/75180451007/">according to polling</a> conducted by Selzer &amp; Co. in September.In the survey, 59% of Iowa adults opposed the new abortion law, while only 37% of Iowa adults approved of it. And notably, 69% of female respondents in the Selzer poll opposed the law, while only 27% of Iowa women backed the new restrictions.The law also appears to have taken a toll on the approval ratings of Republican Gov. Kim Reynolds.In the Selzer poll taken in September, <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/news/politics/iowa-poll/2024/09/24/rob-sand-tops-kim-reynolds-brenna-bird-iowa-elected-officials-governors-support-slips-lowest/75196313007/">Reynolds' job approval rating</a> sat at 45%, while 50% of Iowans disapproved of her performance. Since becoming governor in 2017, Reynolds has generally been one of the state's most popular politicians, which makes her most recent approval rating all the more striking.

Kamala Harris' new lead in top Iowa poll could bode well for her in some key swing states

<ul class="summary-list"><li>New NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte visited the UK on Thursday.</li><li>Rutte met with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.</li></ul>Mark Rutte addressed the prospect of a second Trump presidency during his first official visit to London as NATO Secretary General on Thursday.<a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/nato-next-chief-donald-trump-whisperer-vladimir-putin-critic-2024-6">Rutte, a former Dutch prime minister</a>, was in the capital to meet with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer and <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/ukraine-approves-historic-tax-hike-to-help-cover-defense-spending-2024-10">Ukrainian</a> President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.Speaking to reporters outside 10 Downing Street, Rutte said: "I know that he (Trump) understands completely, and agrees with me that this fight in Ukraine is not only about Ukraine, it's also about the safety and the future security of the United States. He knows this.""So, really, stop worrying about a Trump presidency. We do not know who will win. I will work with Kamala Harris if she is chosen, I will work with Donald Trump if he is chosen," he added.Pressed by a reporter on whether he's worried about the US potentially withdrawing support for Ukraine, Rutte said: "I am not worried about that because I am absolutely convinced that the US is in this because they understand it is not only for Ukraine but also for them, and that from Washington to San Francisco, the whole of the US will be less secure if Putin would be successful in Ukraine."Before taking the helm at NATO, Rutte was the prime minister of the Netherlands for 14 years, during which time he developed a reputation as a "Trump whisperer."He earned the nickname after <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/nato-next-chief-donald-trump-whisperer-vladimir-putin-critic-2024-6">successfully placating Trump during</a> a 2018 meeting in which the former president warned that the US would go its "own way" if other countries did not start spending more on their militaries, per <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.politico.eu/article/mark-rutte-nato-donald-trump-vladimir-putin/">Politico</a>.Rachel Rizzo, a nonresident senior fellow at the Atlantic Council's Europe Center, previously said that Rutte could help "Trump-proof" NATO."He's seen as cool, calm, and collected. He knows how to handle big egos, he's worked with Trump before (even praising him at times), and he understands the need for European allies to increase their share of the burden of European security," <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/new-atlanticist/experts-react-dutch-prime-minister-mark-rutte-will-be-natos-next-secretary-general-how-will-he-lead-the-alliance/">Rizzo said</a>.Rutte also answered questions about the potential use of Western-donated weapons to carry out long strikes on Russia — something Zelenskyy has long requested."That is up to the allies," Rutte said.In a post on X following their meeting in London, Zelenskyy said the trio had discussed "Euro-Atlantic integration and the military reinforcement of Ukraine."

'Stop worrying about a Trump presidency,' NATO's new chief says during UK visit

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Four states are voting on minimum wage increases this Election Day.</li><li>The federal minimum wage is $7.25 an hour, but many states have higher rates.</li></ul>This Election Day, minimum wage workers in four states are waiting to learn if they'll get a raise.Though the federal minimum wage has remained at <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/current-federal-minimum-wage-is-13-years-old-inflation-impact-2022-7">$7.25 since 2009</a>, many municipalities have moved to boost it. The <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/mw-consolidated">Department of Labor</a> said that 20 states either default to the federal minimum or have minimum wages that equal $7.25. Washington, DC, has the highest minimum wage at $17.50 an hour.Even with Democrats historically leading the charge for a higher federal minimum, it's a proposition that often gets bipartisan support: In 2020, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/florida-vote-increase-in-minimum-wage-research-on-employment-2020-11">Florida voted</a> to reelect Donald Trump as president — and also voted to gradually bump the minimum wage to $15 per hour.Here's where the minimum wage stands across the country and where it might change.<h2 id="6e75099f-cfe4-4b65-a7a5-8e5720d6f000">Alaska</h2>This Election Day, Alaskans — who <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://ballotpedia.org/Presidential_voting_trends_in_Alaska">historically lean red</a> — are voting on a ballot measure to raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour by 2027 and then peg it to inflation. The minimum wage in <a target="_blank" href="https://www.epi.org/minimum-wage-tracker/#/min_wage/Alaska">Alaska</a> rose to <a target="_blank" href="https://labor.alaska.gov/lss/rights.htm#:~:text=Effective%20January%201%2C%202024%2C%20Alaska,be%20taken%20by%20the%20employer.">$11.73</a> at the start of 2024, meaning the new measure would provide another boost.<a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.elections.alaska.gov/doc/oep/2024/Ballot%20Measure%201_Eng.pdf">Ballot Measure No. 1</a> would also mandate that employers offer paid sick leave, with smaller employers required to provide at least 40 hours and larger employers made to offer at least 56 hours. The Economic Policy Institute, a left-leaning think tank, <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.epi.org/publication/alaskas-minimum-wage/">estimates</a> that the hike would directly affect 16,000 workers in Alaska, and, in total, directly and indirectly affect 30,800 workers across the state.<h2 id="c3d5077e-9755-40fd-a579-1b5d7fe5cf85">California</h2>In <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2024/us/elections/polls-president-california.html">blue stalwart</a> California, where the minimum wage rose to <a target="_blank" href="https://www.dir.ca.gov/dlse/minimum_wage.htm">$16 an hour</a> at the start of 2024, voters are also weighing another boost. <a target="_blank" href="https://lao.ca.gov/BallotAnalysis/Proposition?number=32&amp;year=2024">Proposition 32</a>, if passed, would bring the minimum wage for all workers to $18 an hour by 2026 — and, for larger businesses, the minimum wage would reach $18 by 2025.<h2 id="7c303318-8587-471f-af80-19d4e065d7e1">Missouri</h2>Voters in Missouri, which has voted Republican over the <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://ballotpedia.org/Presidential_voting_trends_in_Missouri">last two decades</a>, are weighing in on whether to boost their minimum wage after another gradual bump at the start of 2024. Missouri's minimum wage is $12.30 an hour. If <a target="_blank" href="https://www.sos.mo.gov/elections/petitions/2024BallotMeasures">Proposition A passes</a>, the minimum wage in Missouri will rise to $15 by 2026.<h2 id="08514347-1876-4b28-9a74-9c95fa750c78">Massachusetts</h2>In Massachusetts — a historically "<a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.wbur.org/news/2024/11/05/massachusetts-presidental-election-maps">deep blue</a>" state — voters are weighing in on a more niche aspect of the minimum wage: what tipped workers should receive.The minimum wage in Massachusetts is $15 an hour, and the tipped minimum wage is $6.75. When tips are included in their wages, tipped workers are meant to reach $15 an hour. Prominent progressives have <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/equal-pay-day-end-tipped-wage-bernie-sanders-amy-schumer-2021-3">criticized the practice of the tipped wage</a>, pointing to findings that show women make up a larger share of the tipped wage force — and wage gaps are smaller for restaurant workers in states with one set minimum wage.If Massachusetts' <a target="_blank" href="https://www.sec.state.ma.us/divisions/elections/publications/information-for-voters-24/quest_5.htm">question 5 passes</a>, the tipped wage would slowly increase to become level with the state minimum wage, reaching full parity by 2029.<h2 id="47e54b83-705d-4c9a-9155-8965d4824b21">Arizona</h2>Conversely, voters in <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/kamala-harris-donald-trump-swing-state-polls-photo-finish-2024-11">the swing state of Arizona</a> are weighing whether to reduce the amount employers are obligated to pay tipped workers. As it stands, Arizona employers are able to pay tipped workers up to $3 less than the standing minimum wage — as long as workers' tips still bring them to the minimum wage.Under <a target="_blank" href="https://www.azleg.gov/alispdfs/Council/2024BallotMeasures/adopted%20analysis%20Proposition%20138%20SCR1040%20-%202024.pdf">Proposition 138</a>, employers would be able to pay their tipped workers up to 25% less than the state's minimum wage, which would put such workers at $10.77 an hour, <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://ballotpedia.org/Arizona_Proposition_138,_Wages_for_Tipped_Workers_Amendment_(2024)">according to Ballotpedia</a>. That would only be allowed, the proposition said, if the employer can "establish that the employee is paid at least the minimum wage plus $2.00 per hour for all hours worked" after including tips.Are you a worker earning at or near the minimum wage in your state?
