"The West is scared of an honest competition, this is widely known. This is why they 'cancel' the culture of any country speaking from its own nationally oriented positions, prohibit TV channels from broadcasting, ban unwanted politicians on social networks and remove from the public space everything that disagrees with the neo-liberal concept of the world order."His insight is sound since it's indeed the case that the West is scared of countries that defend their sovereignty.
"President Biden may want to run again but the voters say 'no' to the idea of a second term, panning the job he is doing as president. Only 30 percent of Democrats would even vote for him in a Democratic presidential primary."
Former US President Donald Trump has scored an early lead over incumbent Joe Biden in a potential 2024 election rematch, according to a new Emerson College poll.Harvard's polling inquiries based on 1,308 registered voters is an exceedingly small sample to ascertain the national political pulse of the people.
The survey was conducted on June 28-29 and puts support for Trump at 44% in a hypothetical election, while Biden is on just 39%. Another 12% would vote for someone else, with 5% still on the fence. Trump has also managed to keep his share of backers intact since the same poll was carried out in May, while Biden's support has dropped from 42%.
The poll also found that most Americans disapprove of President Biden (53%), Congress (70%), and the Supreme Court (54%). At the same time, Biden has a 40% approval rating, a two-point increase since last month.
In the midterm elections scheduled for this November, 46% of Americans intend to vote for their Republican congressional candidate, with 43% of respondents planning to support the Democrats. These figures have remained relatively unchanged since last month, with Republicans notching a 3% edge over Democrats, on 45% and 42% respectively.
Meanwhile, although ex-President Trump has repeatedly hinted that he would seek reelection in 2024, he has yet to formally announce his bid.
Last year, President Biden confirmed his plan to seek reelection, with Vice President Kamala Harris presumably taking her place at his side as running mate. However, some Democrats have been questioning whether he should actually partake in the election. Citing "dozens of frustrated Democratic officials, members of Congress and voters," the New York Times suggested in a report last month that incumbent President Joe Biden could be replaced as the party's nominee in 2024. However, the Times declined to float the names of any viable alternative Democratic candidates who had not already lost to Biden in the 2020 primary.
Gotta wonder how accurate those numbers were.
According to the Emerson College survey, most Democratic voters (64%) still believe Biden should be the party's nominee in 2024, while 36% are not happy with this prospect. Former President Trump would likely be the early GOP favorite, with 55% saying they would support him at the Republican primaries. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who is widely seen as a potential nominee should Trump decide to remain retired, got 20%.
The Democrats currently hold a razor-thin majority in both the US Senate and House. However, unless they find a way of raising the public's confidence and provide solutions for a number of issues facing everyday Americans, the party could end up losing at least one chamber to the Republicans if polls are any indication of how people intend to vote in the 2022 midterms.
"This topic with the President of Russia appeared after the Poles turned to the Americans and asked them to bring nuclear weapons to Poland. Then I told President Putin: 'Why are we pretending that nothing is happening?'"Lukashenko explained that his talks with Putin on the matter should not be considered as "nuclear blackmail." He claimed that the conclusion that Minsk should be able to provide a reciprocal response to potential hostile action "within 24 hours" came after a long period of consultations. "To do this, we need to prepare. And we will prepare. We do not threaten anyone, we do not blackmail anyone," he said.
"If you were to ask me, does Florida give you as good a return on investment as other places? Clearly right now it does not. We got our butts kicked in Florida recently. Our butts kicked."He said that his job is to build an infrastructure in the state and national groups would not be wise to not attempt to find some type of inroads.
"I think the White House absolutely thinks we need to be engaged there now rather than waiting until 2024 when it becomes more expensive to stop [DeSantis]. We are going to be engaged in the midterm and, you can quote me on this, the DNC is absolutely not giving up on Florida."The White House appears to have a strategy of attacking the governor himself and not his platform.
