The US is so familiar.

"US President Joe Biden has said only the 'Lord Almighty' could convince him to end his bid for re-election, as he sat for a rare primetime interview in an effort to calm Democratic concern over his candidacy. Speaking to ABC News,..Mr Biden also declined to take a cognitive test and make the results public in order to reassure voters he is fit to serve another term." BBC. A few days before that, Biden "blamed it on jet lag after two overseas trips earlier in June". "Biden traveled to France and Italy during two separate trips in the space of two weeks last month, flying overnight from the Group of Seven summit in Bari, Italy, to appear at a fundraiser with former President Barack Obama in Los Angeles on June 15 before returning to Washington the following day." Reuters. The interview was because his "debate performance (on 27 June) has set off alarm bells among top Democrats". "From the start of the debate, the president appeared to struggle with his voice." "Biden often defaulted to an open-mouthed, staring look while Trump was speaking." CNN. The problem is that "First Lady Jill Biden has made it clear that her husband President Joe Biden will not withdraw from the presidential race, albeit the pressure. Now reports claim that Jill Biden is lashing out at those who want Biden out of the race." TOI. The neighbors will snicker behind her back, right? The Democrats could replace Biden with another candidate at their National Convention at the United Center in Chicago, Illinois from 19 to 22 August. wikipedia. Top Democratic officials, political operatives and donors are "terrified by nearly every scenario: Going forward with Biden, a Kamala Harris nomination, a nomination of someone else who would in that case have beaten the first Black female vice president, long nights of multiple ballots spilling ideological and personal feuds on national television, even just revelations of embarrassing details about people who have never been vetted by a national campaign." Payback time for a combination of woke, left wing vitriol and a dubious election victory in 2020. Not just us in India, "Two thirds of Republican voters (and nearly 3 in 10 Americans) continue to believe that the 2020 election was stolen from him (Trump), and that Biden was not lawfully elected." "According to them, 'massive' fraud occurred in certain states (fake voters, rigged voting machines, etc.) with the blessing of election officials and unscrupulous judges, thus tipping the contest." Conversation. And, why not? In 2022, "Mark Zuckerberg, Meta CEO, accepted...that Facebook took note of Federal Bureau of Investigation's (FBI) 'warnings' regarding the New York Post expose on Hunter Biden's laptop and limited the distribution of the story ahead of the 2020 US elections." News18. Just as there are doubts about the investigative agencies in India (The Wire) and the subservient Godi Media (wikipedia). No wonder, Indians are paying $72,000 to be smuggled into the US as illegal migrants. ET. They feel welcome with the Democrats. Don't like Trump.
