Nancy Pelosi supports Kamala Harris as a candidate for the U.S. Presidency.

Former U.S. House President Nancy Pelosi on Monday showed her support for U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris in her White House career, a day after President Joe Biden decided to end her candidacy for re-election.

“Today, with immense pride and unlimited optimism in the future of our country, I support the vice president, Kamala Harris, for the Presidency of the United States. My enthusiastic support for Kamala Harris for the Presidency is official, personal and political,” he said in a letter.

Pelosi, a figure of great weight within the Democratic Party, said that she has known Harris for decades and that she has seen her “strength and courage” as a defender of working families and her struggle for the right of women to choose over her body.

“Politically, let’s make no mistake: Kamala Harris, as a woman in politics, is brilliantly astute and I am fully confident that she will lead us to victory in November,” said the historic 84-year-old American politician.

Pelosi, who left the presidency last year after the midterm elections and today is a representative legislator for California, called on the Democratic Party to be united and “move forward to defeat Donald Trump.”

Less than 24 hours after Biden left the race for re-election and asked for the nomination for his vice president, Harris, Democratic politics has more than half a thousand support from delegates, of the 1,986 he needs to get the party’s representation in the elections.

According to a count prepared by The Hill newspaper, Harris has achieved the yes of at least 531 delegates, who have confirmed that they will vote for it at the Democratic National Convention, which will be held in Chicago from August 19 to 22.

Since then, numerous political figures of the party have shown their support for him. According to a count of the Washington Post newspaper, among the 263 Democratic senators and legislators and 23 governors, a total of 205 have supported Harris, compared to 81 who have not done so at the moment.

Maradona’s daughter accuses medical team of “horrible manipulation” in court

One of the daughters of Diego Maradona testified in court this Tuesday, breaking down in tears as she denounced what she described as “absolute and horrible manipulation” by her father’s medical team, during an emotional hearing in Argentina.

Gianinna Maradona stated that she and her siblings agreed to home hospitalization after doctors presented it as the best option following the neurosurgery Maradona underwent on November 3, 2020.

The football icon died on November 25 of that year, and the ongoing trial seeks to determine whether the conditions of his home care were appropriate.

According to Gianinna, what the family found at the residence where Maradona was recovering did not match what had been promised. She testified that there was no adequate medical equipment, constant monitoring, or even an ambulance available, despite assurances of continuous care.

“The manipulation was absolute and horrible,” she said during the hearing in San Isidro, near Buenos Aires.

She accused members of the medical team, including neurosurgeon Leopoldo Luque, psychiatrist Agustina Cosachov, and psychologist Carlos Díaz, of misleading the family.

“I trusted these people, and all they did was manipulate us and leave my son without a grandfather,” she added.

Later in her testimony, recalling that six years have passed since her father’s death, she became emotional and said she struggled deeply with grief in the aftermath.

Trump extends Iran ceasefire after Pakistan mediation request

The president of the United States, Donald Trump, announced on Tuesday that he will extend the ceasefire with Iran, which was set to expire on Wednesday, following a request from Pakistan.

In a statement shared on Truth Social, Trump said the truce will remain in place until Iran presents a proposal and negotiations are concluded, regardless of the outcome.

“I will extend the ceasefire until their proposal is presented and negotiations are completed, whatever the result,” the U.S. leader stated.

Trump justified the decision by claiming that Iran’s government is “deeply divided” and noting that Pakistani authorities, acting as mediators, requested a pause in military action until Iranian leaders and representatives submit a unified proposal.

Venezuelan opposition demands election date and minimum wage increase

A group of opposition members from the Zulia Humana and former political prisoners on Tuesday demanded that authorities set a date for elections in Venezuela and increase the minimum wage, which has been frozen since 2022 and is currently worth just a few cents per month according to the Banco Central de Venezuela.

During a press conference in Maracaibo, Professor Eduardo Labrador stressed the urgency of establishing an electoral timeline. “We demand that a date be set for elections so Venezuelans can have free and transparent voting. It is essential to have that date now,” he said.

Economist Rodrigo Cabezas, who served under the late President Hugo Chávez, also called for an increase in the minimum wage, arguing that it is feasible through economic policy measures, although he did not specify an amount due to limited public data.

Cabezas warned that Venezuela experienced “galloping inflation” between March of last year and March 2026, a stage that precedes hyperinflation—a phenomenon the country has already faced. However, he clarified that Venezuela is not currently in hyperinflation, expressing hope that it will not return.
