The US president was accused by the newspaper of boasting of economic achievements that have no basis in reality. Mr Biden, the report said, has in recent months claimed that the US has the fastest-growing economy in the world, his student debt forgiveness programme passed Congress by just a vote or two, and that key retirement benefits became "more generous thanks to his leadership". "None of that was accurate," the report stated. In a withering assessment, the newspaper added: "The president, who has long been seen as embellishing the truth, has recently overstated his influence on the economy, or omitted key facts." The report by the liberal newspaper stunned many Republicans and Democrats. The New York Times endorsed Mr Biden's candidacy against Donald Trump in 2020 and has typically held back from the scathing criticisms it made of the president's predecessor. The piece noted that Mr Biden's economic exaggerations "generally pale in comparison to the tales spun by his predecessor, President Donald J. Trump", but many Republicans cheered the piece, which comes just two days before Election Day. Follow below for the latest updates.){kind=link}
Donald Trump considered announcing a 2024 run during his high-profile rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday night but reconsidered after advisers warned it would overshadow the midterm elections, according to reports.
It was widely expected the former president would hold off on a much anticipated official declaration until after election day on Tuesday.
However, Mr Trump considered using his rally in Latrobe, Pennsylvania on Saturday night as a “backdrop” to declaring his 2024 run, despite fears it could jeopardise his candidates, NBC News reported.
The 76-year-old was in the critical state to rally for the Republican senate candidate Mehmet Oz, a race that could determine control of the US Senate.
Mr Trump’s advisers “urged him not to” declare his presidential bid, the network reported, warning it could divert attention from the candidates on the ballot on Tuesday.
