Recent debates have raised concerns about US President Joe Biden’s performance, leading to discussions among Democratic colleagues about finding a new candidate for the upcoming elections. While Biden contemplates passing on his delegates, he joked about needing more sleep during a meeting with Democratic governors. As the unopposed candidate, Biden holds the electoral delegates needed for nomination at the Democratic National Convention. However, there is increasing scrutiny from House Democrats regarding his candidacy, with some urging him to step aside.
Meanwhile, Ukrainian observers are closely monitoring these developments as Biden’s administration has supported Ukraine against Russian aggression. A recent drone strike by Ukraine on a gunpowder factory in Western Russia and a Russian attack in the Donetsk region resulting in civilian casualties have escalated tensions further in the region.
