Trump coasts to another victory in race for Republican nomination
13 Sept 14:18Key points summarised by AI
Donald Trump secured a lightning victory in South Carolina's Republican primary, decisively defeating rival Nikki Haley in her home state.
This win completes Trump's sweep of the first four major nominating contests, establishing a likely insurmountable lead towards the Republican nomination.
Despite Nikki Haley's pledge to continue her campaign through 'Super Tuesday,' the rapid call of the race suggests mounting pressure for her to withdraw.
Trump immediately pivoted his focus to a general election rematch with President Joe Biden, underscoring his confidence in securing the party's nomination.
Macron condemns those who 'sought to bring down the Republic' after rioting mars nationwide protests
Yesterday 12:56Key points summarised by AI
President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
