  On Saturday (9 November), Donald Trump secured a victory in Arizona, marking a complete sweep of all seven swing states in the United States (US) presidential election held on 5 November. This win adds Arizona's 11 electoral votes to the Republican total, flipping the state back to the Republican side after Democrat Joe Biden's victory there in 2020. Trump’s triumph over Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris represents his second win in Arizona, his first since 2016.

Donald Trump flips Arizona, defeats Kamala Harris in all seven swing states

 Donald Trump has emerged victorious in Arizona, flipping the state back into the Republican column after it was narrowly won by Joe Biden in 2020. This decisive win in the crucial battleground state, which carries 11 electoral votes, has propelled Trump’s Electoral College total to 312, compared to Vice President Kamala Harris' 226. Arizona, historically a key swing state, had been seen as a stronghold for Democrats in recent years. The win in Arizona also marks Trump’s success in all seven battleground states, including Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and North Carolina, all of which he had lost in 2020. This sweeping reversal of fortunes reflects his continued strong appeal among conservative and working-class voters, including a substantial share of Hispanic voters in states like Arizona.

In Dhule, LS seat that BJP lost, PM delivers ‘Ek hain...’ message

 PM Narendra Modi asked people on Friday not to be swayed by what he said was Congress' "divisive" plank and sounded the caution of "Ek hain toh safe hain". He accused Congress of indulging in "dangerous politics to divide Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and OBCs" not only to weaken the country but for political gain. Modi, who began his campaign in Maharashtra for the Nov 20 polls by addressing rallies in Dhule and Nashik city, also ruled out the possibility of restoration of Article 370 in J&K. He said Congress and its alliance partners should "stop promoting policies of Pakistan to weaken India". Observers pointed to his choice of Dhule as the venue for the deployment of the "Ek hain toh safe hain" pitch as the campaign theme given the narrow defeat the BJP candidate suffered in Dhule LS seat in the May general election. On Friday, Modi said, "The three former Congress PMs - Jawaharlal Nehru, Indira Gandhi and Rajiv G...

 Supreme Court Bar Association President Kapil Sibal on Friday commended Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud for his willingness to address complex issues such as Article 370, same-sex marriage, and electoral bonds which previous CJIs may have avoided.     “The other attribute of Chief Justice was that he was willing to deal with these complex issues and I dare say that the past Chief Justices would not allow themselves to deal with those issues for years. Whether it was 370 or it was same sex marriage, or it was electoral bonds, or any of those very large issues that actually change the contours of our being. You were willing to take it forward, you were willing to address the issues within the contours of those complexities and you address them with great clarity. And therefore we must thank you for all that you have done. We may not agree with you, it's not necessarily to agree, but at least we must salute you for the fact that you were ready, willing to deal wi...

 Justice Sanjiv Khanna will take oath as the 51st Chief Justice of India on Monday and has already had to stop an activity that was dear to him - his solitary morning walks. Sources said, every morning, Justice Khanna would walk for several kilometres alone in the Lodhi Garden area and around his house, believing that no one would recognise him. After his appointment as the next Chief Justice was notified late last month, however, he has been advised to go for his morning walk with a security personnel in tow.
