US Domestic News Highlights: Kennedy Ends Campaign, Harris Raises Millions, FBI Probes Shooting
A comprehensive summary of the current US domestic news: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. ends his presidential campaign and endorses Trump, Kamala Harris raises $540 million, FBI investigates a drive-by shooting targeting a Sikh separatist, and Anthony Fauci recovers from West Nile virus. Additional news includes legal cases, campaign tours, and a controversial Starbucks construction in New Mexico.
Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has concluded his run and endorsed Donald Trump. This announcement, made during a press conference, was followed by a joint appearance with Trump at a campaign rally in Arizona, receiving significant applause from the audience.
Kamala Harris, a Democratic presidential hopeful, has amassed an impressive $540 million in campaign donations since the Democratic National Convention last week. The campaign highlights a notable spike in contributions, reflecting strong Democratic enthusiasm.
The FBI is investigating an August 11 drive-by shooting in California that targeted Satinder Pal Singh Raju, an activist associated with Sikh separatist leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar. The case has raised international concerns, especially given previous comments by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau linking Nijjar's fatal shooting to India.
Anthony Fauci, the former leading U.S. infectious disease expert, is recovering from a West Nile virus infection. Fauci, who played a critical role in the U.S. COVID-19 response, was hospitalized for nearly a week.
