ReutersJanuary 5, 20240

By James Oliphant and Gram Slattery DES MOINES, Iowa (Reuters) – Donald Trump’s Republican rivals are scrambling for every vote they can get in Iowa, where the first Republican presidential nominating contest is now just days away.

The lawsuit, filed by an unnamed plaintiff, claims Trump is ineligible to run for president based on Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment.

ReutersSeptember 14, 20230

By Stella Qiu SYDNEY (Reuters) – Australia’s employment surged in August while its participation rate hit a record high and the jobless rate held steady, in a sign that decade-high interest rates have yet to soften demand in the drum-tight labour market.
