Barack Obama think Kamala Harris can't win. As to an NBC News report, Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Barack Obama have been in close communication ever since Harris declared her intention to run for president on Sunday. Subsequently, the previous president has ultimately decided whether or not to support the vice president.
Barack Obama, the former president, has resisted Kamala Harris's advances thus far despite the support of numerous Democratic leaders for her as the party's nominee for US president.
Obama has not endorsed Harris, who US President Joe Biden backed after withdrawing from the race on Sunday, according to the New York Post, because he believes she cannot defeat Republican nominee Donald Trump.
The New York Post was informed by a Biden family insider that "Obama is very upset because he knows she can't win."
Obama is informally advising Harris on campaign techniques, drawing on his own experience leading successful presidential campaigns. With just 100 days to go before Election Day, the report asserts that he views himself as a resource for Harris as she manages her intense campaign.
As per the reports, Obama wanted Biden out of the way and part of his strategy included urging the actor to resign in an essay.
The New York Post was informed by the source that Obama intended to have Senator Mark Kelly of Arizona "at the top of the ticket" at the Democratic National Convention the following month.
"Obama is furious, things haven't gone his way, which is why he is not joining in the Democratic Party's support of Harris," according to a source.
"Obama being surprised by a smart political decision actually makes sense when coupled with his personal inability to see politics beyond his singular, immediate interests," stated a well-placed Democratic source.
Opposition on Budget: Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge, and Congress Parliamentary Party chief Sonia Gandhi were among those who demonstrated on Parliament grounds.
Leaders of the INDIA group protested today both inside and outside of Parliament against what they see as "discrimination" towards states ruled by the opposition in the recently released Union Budget.
The Congress leader, Rahul Gandhi, criticised the 2024–25 Budget on 23 July, calling it a “Kursi Bachao” process that appeases friends and cronies while providing no assistance for the average Indian and merely copying and pasting his party’s manifesto and prior budgets.
Rahul wrote in a post on X, "-Appease Allies: Hollow promises to them at the cost of other states. - Appease Cronies: Benefits to AA with no relief for the common Indian. - Copy and Paste: Congress manifesto and previous budgets"
Sanjay Singh, leader of the Aam Aadmi Party, claimed that the administration simply failed to address crucial issues. "MGNREGA [the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act] was not mentioned. "People have no reason to be happy," Singh stated. "The share market has fallen since the Budget was presented. This indicates that the market did not like the Budget. Farmers in the country expected the MSP for their crops to be quadrupled, but the government made no provision for this."
Akhilesh Yadav, the chairman of the Samajwadi Party (SP), claimed that the problems of young, women, farmers, unemployment, and inflation have disappeared. "This Budget is a bundle of hopelessness as well. Thankfully, despite terrible circumstances, people are still alive.
Sharadchandra Pawar from the Nationalist Congress Party wrote on X that the Modi government has failed to deliver on its promise of job creation. "No new solutions to provide employment. …the youth of Maharashtra will not rest without teaching a lesson to the BJP in the coming assembly elections."
Mallikarjun Kharge, the president of Congress, referred to the budget as disappointing. "The budget is distributed just to save the chair; it is not need-based. Just two people were happy with the budget, which disregarded the interests of 140 crore Indians. According to Kharge, every group was disregarded by the budget, including youth, farmers, middle-class people, Scheduled Castes (SC), and Scheduled Tribes (ST).
The opposition charged that the administration was ignoring other states and preferring Bihar and Andhra Pradesh, two states run by the BJP's main allies and vital to the survival of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government. On Tuesday, ₹59,000 crore worth of projects and packages for Bihar were revealed by Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman. She said that Andhra Pradesh would receive 15,000 crore for the building of the state capital, Amaravati, as well as additional funding if needed, to complete the Polavaram dam project and build two industrial hubs.
Budget 2024: With a major relief for the middle class, experts predict that Nirmala Sitharaman will raise the basic exemption levels under both the old and new tax regimes in her seventh straight budget.

Due to the Lok Sabha elections in February, an interim budget was provided; however, this year's budget is being presented during the monsoon session. Starting on July 22, the Monsoon session will last for 19 sittings till August 12. PM Modi stated that the budget is "important for Amrit Kaal" in his remarks on it. The course of the next five years of our tenure will be determined by the budget. Additionally, this budget will serve as a solid base for our vision of "Viksit Bharat."
Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman presented the Interim Budget on February 1 this year, presenting a detailed financial plan ahead of the Lok Sabha elections in 2024. The Interim Budget proposes a total spending of ₹47.65 trillion for FY 2024-25, representing a 6% rise from the revised projection for FY 2023-24. It expected total receipts of ₹30.80 trillion, a 12% increase from the previous fiscal year. The Interim Budget projected a fiscal deficit of 5.1% of GDP in 2024-25, down from 5.8% in the previous fiscal year. The Interim Budget proposed increasing capital expenditure by 11% to ₹11.1 trillion, or 3.4% of GDP.
The Finance Minister also declared that the government will establish women-only dormitories and collaborate with other organizations to run skill-building initiatives tailored to the needs of women in the workforce.
According to Nirmala Sitharama, "We will support the development of an industrial nod at Gaya in Bihar as part of the Amritsar-Kolkata industrial corridor." It will spur the eastern region's development. Additionally, we would fund the construction of the Patna-Purnea expressway, the Buxar-Bhagalpur highway, the Bodhgaya- Rajgir-Vaishali-Darbhanga highway, and a second, ₹26,000 crore, two-lane bridge across the Ganga in Buxar."
India's richest actress has a net worth of Rs 862 crore, three times that of her husband—not Priyanka, Deepika, Alia or Katrina. Many actresses now have more money than their top male counterparts. The richest actress in India is three times as wealthy as her husband, a well-known celebrity.
The richest actress in India is Aishwarya Rai, whose estimated net worth is Rs 862 crore, or more than $105 million. She is now wealthier than a number of her juniors and colleagues. Priyanka Chopra (Rs 650 crore), Alia Bhatt (Rs 550 crore), Deepika Padukone (Rs 500 crore), Kareena Kapoor (Rs 485 crore), Katrina Kaif (Rs 250 crore) and Nayanthara (Rs 200 crore) are a few other richest Indian actresses. Aishwarya's enormous net worth, however, eclipses them all.
With a reputed net worth of Rs 280 crore, her spouse Abhishek Bachchan is just half as wealthy as she is. As compared to other celebrities like Ranbir Kapoor (Rs 345 crore), Prabhas (Rs 200 crore), and Ranveer Singh (Rs 500 crore), Aishwarya is wealthier.
Aishwarya Rai has accumulated this from her Hollywood, Bollywood and Tamil film hits in addition to her multi-million-dollar worldwide brand deals. Aishwarya charges Rs 10 crore for each film. The actress reportedly cost Rs 15 crore for her two-part Tamil film Ponniyin Selvan, which she completed last year. For brand photo sessions, the actress receives an additional Rs 6-7 crore every day.
She also charges Rs 6 to 7 crore for her brand shoots, which she completes for multi-million-dollar organizations. She is a regular face of brands like Titan Watches, Lakmé, Coca-Cola, LUX, Kalyan Jewellers, and Philips.
Aishwarya and Abhishek establish themselves as a formidable financial pair. Their combined net worth is considerably over Rs 1000 crore, which reflects their success story. Junior Bachchan has always been proud of the fact that his wife has a far bigger net worth than him. However, for society as a whole, it is critical that we emphasize the importance of a married woman's financial independence.
Indian Cricket player Hardik Pandya and model Natasa Stankovic announced their separation on 18 July, Thursday night. The couple announced their mutual separation on Instagram in a joint statement. They will still share parental duties for their 3-year-old son, Agastya, despite their separation.
Hardik Pandya has been a valuable member of the Indian cricket squad in recent years, while Natasa Stankovic has pursued a career in movies. The pair, who got engaged in January 2020, have a three-year-old kid named Agastya and are well-known in the Indian sports and entertainment industry.
Natasha and Hardik shared a post in which they wrote, "After 4 years of being together, Natasa and I have decided to mutually part ways. We tried our best together and gave it our all, and we believe this is in the best interest of both of us. This was a tough decision for us to make, given the joy, mutual respect, and companionship we enjoyed together and as we grew as a family. We are blessed with Agastya, who will continue to be at the center of both our lives and we will co-parent to ensure that we give him everything that we can for his happiness. We sincerely request your support and understanding to give us privacy during this difficult and sensitive time."
Pandya and Stankovic met at a Mumbai nightclub in 2018, which marked the start of their romance. After a swift development of their relationship, the couple was married on May 31, 2020 amid the COVID-19 pandemic and had a proposal on a yacht in December 2019. In July 2020, Agastya, their son, was born.
With close friends and family members, the couple renewed their vows in 2023 in a sumptuous ceremony held in Udaipur. Even still their relationship had problems that ultimately resulted in their recent separation, despite this impressive gesture.
After Natasa deleted all of her Instagram photos in March of this year and removed the "Pandya" surname, there were a lot of rumors going around. The actor and model from Serbia was noticeably absent from the T20 World Cup and the IPL2024.
In spite of the criticism, Pandya and Stankovic have made the decision to put their son first and continue to have a civil co-parenting relationship. Although their divorce signifies the end of an era for the couple, their dedication to their child's happiness never wavers.
