He has for instance announced that he plans to create a "social emergency law" that would allow for the price of basic necessities to be frozen, including fuel, gas, electricity and some food items. She has called for the education and health systems to be "rebuilt" and said that "the question of work should once again become a central issue. Like Melenchon, she plans to boost wages. She has said that one of her first acts as president would be to convene negotiations with unions "to put the French back in a position where they can live with dignity from their work".
She is also positioning herself as an ecologist. Among the measures she has rolled out in the French capital are restrictions on car traffic in parts of the city and more bike lanes. Her new mandate plans for the plantation of , trees, the energy renovation of buildings and an end of plastic in school canteens. She faces two major challenges. The first one is that she is seen as a local politician, tied to Paris. The second is that she is the candidate for a floundering party.
The Socialists' candidate in secured just 6. This was followed by heavy defeats in the legislative and European parliament elections. Jadot, 54, is an MEP who already won the Green party ticket for the presidential election in , only to rally behind the Socialist candidate. This time, such an alliance appears unlikely even though the two left-wing parties joined forces to win the Paris and Marseille mayoral elections.
His programme includes pledges to put an end to intensive livestock farming and to weaken lobbies, which he said "swallow up subsidies and public policies so that the climate, health, the environment and social justice finally take precedence".
Not a single euro for Total until Total breaks with its logic of always looking for more oil and more gas in the ground," he has said. He also plans to restore a tax on wealth and to tax financial assets that invest in fossil fuels more. The funds would go towards infrastructure projects, housing, transport and help the economy transition into "a virtuous circle of investment and responsible consumption. The main right-wing party has yet to select its candidate.
Bertrand, 56, is president of the Hauts-De-France region. A former minister for health and then labour, he is currently the one to beat for his fellow LR presidential hopefuls. My son was in Iraq. He spent a year there. He got the Bronze Star. He got a service medal.
He was not a loser. Biden appears to be referring to a recent report in The Atlantic , which zeroed in on Trump's rhetoric about service members. Citing four people with firsthand knowledge of the discussions, the magazine reported that Trump canceled a visit to the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery near Paris in because he feared his hair would become disheveled in the rain.
It's gone up on his watch. Biden's attack is half-true. Asked about this claim, the Biden campaign pointed to a FactCheck. While that number appears to check out, his attack on Trump is unfounded: While homicide has been on the rise, violent crime has remained largely flat under the Trump administration. This is mostly false. It was Hillary Clinton, then the first lady, who used the term "super predator" to advocate for the crime bill that Biden co-authored more than thirty years ago.
Biden did warn of "predators" in a floor speech in support of his bill, however. Trump retorted by saying, "I've paid millions of dollars in taxes, millions of dollars of income tax. Biden's claim accurately reflects new reporting by The New York Times for the years and The information does not include his returns from and According to The Times, Trump had paid no income taxes at all in 10 of the previous 15 years prior to , because he reported losing much more money than he made during that time.
This is mostly true, though Biden actually undercounts the proposed cuts. During an acrimonious exchange, the president defended himself for his reportedly low tax bill by suggesting that if Biden wanted Trump to have not taken advantage of the tax code, then he should have taken action to fix it during his tenure in the U. And he does take advantage of the tax code," Biden said. In reality, despite being in Senate for 36 years, Biden was never technically in a position to re-write the federal tax code.
While in the Senate from to , Biden was chair of the Judiciary and Foreign Relations committees and had no direct hand in writing tax laws. Trump, on the other hand, takes advantage of several loopholes to avoid paying taxes, including some for which he personally lobbied. Among them is a law passed in to limit investors not actively involved in a business from taking deductions and attributing losses against their income.
But Congress largely exempted real estate developers, like Trump. Trump and his allies have attacked the former vice president's son, Hunter Biden, for his foreign business dealings.
What did he do to deserve it? The report, authored by Republican Sens. And on the debate stage, the former vice president said the claim had been "totally discredited. I'm going with favored nations which no president has the courage to do because you're going against big pharma. Numerous fact checks found that there's no evidence that Trump's policies have meaningfully slashed drug prices, as he's repeatedly claimed, let alone "80 to 90 percent.
Brand name drug prices are on the rise, too. Trump just said that "we've had no negative effect" from coronavirus at his rallies, a claim that ignores the spate of Covid cases that have been linked to those campaign events. A handful of Trump's own campaign staff tested positive for Covid in the days surrounding his late-June rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma, including members of the Secret Service.
Former Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain tested positive days after the rally and ultimately died due to complications from the virus. While Cain attended the rally and was photographed without a mask on, it's unclear where he contracted the virus.
Tulsa's top health official said that the rally "likely contributed " to a surge in cases after the rally. Your own chief of staff said you were a disaster," Trump said to Biden Tuesday night. Trump's exaggerating here. It had nothing to do with us doing anything right. It just had to do with luck. It's also worth noting that the swine flu is estimated to have killed 12, in the U.
The Obama administration also received generally high marks for its response to the swine flu. While government reports after the fact identified room for growth they also highlighted successes, like rapid research and development of a vaccine that arrived in less than six months.
This is false, according to all available metrics. The U. For comparison, far smaller countries, like Italy, Germany, and Japan, are reporting between a few hundred and 3, new cases a day.
Other countries are struggling — India is the most affected country by caseload, while Brazil is the third most affected — but the U. It would be more accurate to say the U. As of Tuesday, Sept. Most countries in Africa have fared significantly better than other parts of the world, particularly the U. South Africa, the hardest-hit country on the continent, has recorded more than , cases and 16, deaths as of Tuesday.
That represents 28 deaths per , people, compared to more than 62 deaths per , in the U. For European countries, the U. Trump and Biden came out of the gate with conflicting statements over how many people in the U. Biden said there are million such people — and that they would lose their health care coverage should the Affordable Care Act be eliminated.
Trump insisted Biden's number was wrong. Bush won the election. I knew Jack Kennedy. Jack Kennedy was a friend of mine. Clinton won the election. He replied that at his age, intelligence and experience meant he had the advantage of wisdom. Bush was re-elected. Palin frequently displayed a folksy style.
