Trump Rallies Amid Political Crossfire and Legal Standoffs

Donald Trump is set to rally in Minnesota to regain campaign momentum against Kamala Harris, his emerging Democratic opponent. Meanwhile, legal battles surrounding TikTok and Mexican kingpin Ismael Zambada make headlines. Racial and sexist attacks on Harris intensify, and wildfires expand in Oregon.

Donald Trump plans a rally in Minnesota this Saturday to regain momentum against Kamala Harris, who has emerged as his Democratic opponent. The rally will feature vice presidential running mate Senator JD Vance and targets a state that hasn't chosen a Republican candidate in 52 years.

In legal news, the U.S. Department of Justice is pushing to uphold a law requiring ByteDance, TikTok's parent company, to sell its U.S. assets by January 19. The DOJ claims TikTok poses a national security threat due to its access to American data.

Republicans grapple with how to attack Kamala Harris as she solidifies her position as the Democratic nominee. Meanwhile, wildfires in Oregon have expanded to half the size of Rhode Island, threatening several towns. In another major development, alleged Mexican kingpin Ismael 'El Mayo' Zambada pled not guilty to U.S. drug charges after his arrest in Texas.
