Former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton issued a stark warning on the X social network, declaring, “Every day it becomes clearer: a vote for Trump is a vote for Putin’s team.” Clinton’s statement was prompted by Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s assertion that a Trump presidency would withhold financial aid to Ukraine.
As the presidential race intensifies, CNN reports that US President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump have clinched the Democratic and Republican presidential nominations, respectively, setting the stage for a rematch.
Trump secured the Republican nomination on Wednesday morning, while Biden secured the Democratic nomination the previous Tuesday night. Primary elections took place in Georgia, Mississippi, and Washington, with additional events such as Hawaii Republicans’ caucuses and the conclusion of voting in the Democratic primary for Americans living abroad.
