On Wednesday, a clip of world leaders Justin Trudeau, Emmanuel Macron and Boris Johnson seemingly making fun of President Donald Trump at a NATO reception in London was shared widely across social media. The video, taken from an event at Buckingham Palace on Tuesday, prompted Trump to call Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau “two-faced” on Wednesday and cut his trip to the U.K. short. The footage shows an animated Trudeau saying, “He was late because he takes a 40-minute press conference off the top,” apparently referring to a joint press conference Macron and Trump held earlier in the day....

Watt wore the No. 99 jersey while playing college football at Wisconsin and kept that number over 10 seasons in Houston. Unfortunately for the three-time Defensive Player of the Year, the Cardinals retired No. 99 to honor Marshall Goldberg, a Pro Bowler who played for the then-Chicago Cardinals from 1939 to 1948. Goldberg was also inducted into the team’s Ring of Honor shortly after his death in 2006. MORE: Why did Watt sign with the Cardinals?...

“Everything they stood for offended me. They represented everything that I ran against,” Biden said during a campaign event in Sumter, South Carolina, on Saturday. The 76-year-old candidate was referring to a pair of openly racist former Senate colleagues that Biden had recently boasted of having a civil working relationship with. He continued: “I do believe we have work to do, even with those who we find repugnant, to make our system of government to work for all of us....

Biden was unexpectedly name-dropped on the TBS broadcast of AEW’s Dynamite show by “Platinum” Max Caster, a wrestler who raps live as he makes his entrance to the ring. On Wednesday, he accompanied Billy Gunn to his match against his son, Colten Gunn. “You little jerks get no respect,” Caster rapped toward Colten and his brother Austin Gunn, who stood together in the ring. “We wipe you out like Biden did student debt....

Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris were declared the winners of the 2020 presidential election by the Associated Press and national television networks on Saturday, as they surpassed the 270 electoral vote threshold. President Donald Trump has refused to concede, baselessly claiming that the Democrats won through widespread voter fraud. While many world leaders have congratulated Biden and Harris, Putin has not. “Congratulations to @JoeBiden and @KamalaHarris on the victory and to the Americans on defining the new leadership in a free and fair election....

The irony is that Trump, on the actual substantive merits, toed a very hawkish line on the Russian Federation. He shored up missile defense in Central and Eastern Europe, which the Obama administration had undermined as part of its ill-fated Russian “reset.” He repeatedly stood strongly with America’s ex-Iron Curtain allies, delivering a powerful, Reagan-esque 2017 foreign policy speech in Warsaw that was aimed squarely at Moscow. He unilaterally withdrew the U....

The latest survey from Gallup, released last week, found that 57 percent of Americans approved of Biden’s job as commander in chief. Forty percent of those polled disapproved and 3 percent had no opinion. The findings far exceeded those calculated at the 100-day mark of Donald Trump’s presidency. At that point in 2017, Trump had a 41 percent approval rating. In fact, Trump never eclipsed 50 percent in Gallup’s approval rating tracker....

Recent polling paints a mixed picture for Biden, with his approval rating falling as low as just 38 percent in a Quinnipiac University poll conducted from October 1 to 4 and reaching a high of 48 percent in an Ipsos poll from October 6 to 7. It has hovered between 42 and 46 percent in several polls conducted since the beginning of the month. Poll tracker FiveThirtyEight, which tracks Biden’s popularity based on analysis of a wide range of polls and its own system of pollster ratings, gave Biden an approval rating of 44....

A number of polls conducted in the days before the annual holiday have seen a poor showing for the president, who’s been in office just 10 months, amid record levels of inflation. Biden will have Thanksgiving dinner with his family on Nantucket Island, Massachusetts, where he’s staying at the home of former Carter White House official and private equity billionaire David Rubenstein. Publisher FiveThirtyEight tracks the president’s approval based on analysis of a wide range of polls and its own system of pollster ratings....

Biden’s gaffe last week about a Russian invasion of Ukraine put European allies on edge. America’s key European ally, Germany, broke with NATO over the weekend. And on Monday, Ukraine questioned the U.S. decision to pull diplomatic staff’s family out of Kyiv. An estimated 100,000 Russian troops have built up along the border of Ukraine, sparking fears of a conflict in Europe. Western powers, including the U.S., have repeatedly warned Russia about invading....

During his appearance on New Day, anchor John Berman asked Biden what Trump’s re-election would tell the former vice president about America, when the campaign is finished. “I think eight years of Donald Trump will change the country, the nature of who we are,” Biden responded. The Trump campaign did not immediately respond to Newsweek’s request for comment. The Democratic contender also said the possibility of Trump winning a second term is more of a reason for Democrats to work hard to win the 2020 election....

The Democratic candidate has been slowly gaining on the incumbent Republican in the crucial state for the last two days. But he finally made the crossover on Friday morning with a lead of 5,587 votes, meaning he now has 49.3 percent to Trump’s 49.4 percent, per CNN. As of 9 a.m. EST, Biden stands at 3,295,304 votes in Pennsylvania while Trump is on 3,289,717 as the counting continues. Biden emerged in front as 95 percent of the votes had been counted but more results are still due from outstanding absentee and mail-in ballots....

The Hall of Fame broadcaster on Monday revealed how he has used the occasional libation to not only keep himself grounded in his work, but also to help establish a smoother working relationship with Hall of Fame quarterback Troy Aikman, with whom he began working in 2001. Buck revealed the practice in an interview with Colin Cowherd, who prompted the explanation by saying the pairing sounded like college buddies who have “a small glass of bourbon that you sip occasionally during the game....

Hart 21/10 for shut-out at West Brom Hart kept Huddersfield in front of goal as the early top-flight surprise package went down to the Hammers 2-0 on Monday. It was the Terriers’ maiden Premier League defeat after flying out of the blocks in August, while West Ham broke a run of three consecutive defeats this season to put points on the board. And amazingly, it was the first time Hart had managed to keep a clean sheet in league competition for 23 games, and just his second of 2017....

In a loss to the Timberwolves, Ingles went down with an apparent knee injury and was ruled out for the remainder of the game.

Sinema of Arizona announced Thursday she changed her party registration from Democrat to independent, sparking speculation that Manchin, also a centrist, could follow. As a Democrat, Sinema often joined Manchin in blocking key elements of President Joe Biden’s agenda while also opposing ending the filibuster—a procedural rule that requires 60 votes to end debate on a bill—to pass legislation without Republican support. Sinema said her party switch would not affect her votes, and is still expected to caucus with Democrats in a similar fashion to Senators Bernie Sanders of Vermont or Angus King of Maine....

It includes a nationwide clean-electricity program intended to eliminate fossil fuel emissions from U.S. power plants by 2035. Some of the climate proposals—as well as the hefty price tag—have been a sticking point for Democratic West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin, who wants to protect jobs in the coal-producing state. Manchin has been particularly opposed to the proposed Clean Electricity Performance Program, which would pay utilities to switch to clean energy....

The $1.2 trillion infrastructure framework—also known as BIF, for Bipartisan Infrastructure Framework—passed the Senate in August. But the legislation has been stalled in the House of Representatives as Democrats try to reach agreement on Biden’s economic legislation. “In my view, this is not how the United States Congress should operate,” Manchin said at a news conference Monday. “The political games have to stop. Twice now the House has balked at the opportunity to send the BIF legislation to the president....
