Will Biden run for President after yesterday's night debate???
It seems that Democrats will look urgently for a new nominee. Indeed, Many of the Democratic Party’s top fundraisers are privately sounding the alarm after President Joe Biden’s disappointing debate performance Thursday against Republican former President Donald Trump. “Disaster,” said a Biden donor who plans to attend a fundraiser with the president on Saturday in the Hamptons. “This is terrible. Worse than I thought was possible. Everyone I’m speaking with thinks Biden should drop out,” said the person, who was granted anonymity in order to recount private conversations. CNBC began hearing from worried Democratic campaign donors and fundraisers less than 20 minutes into the 90-minute debate hosted by CNN. “Game over,” said a longtime Democratic campaign advisor, who has been raising money for congressional leaders for over a decade and helped raise money for Biden’s 2020 White House bid. https://lnkd.in/eWanGba8
#french #elections: Former President François Hollande back to business?
Hollande is running for a seat in Parliament and Macron didn't put any candidate in front of him. In the (plausible) scenario of a hung parliament, Hollande could be chosen by Macron as Prime Minister of a unity government.

Latest IFOP poll for lower-house snap election in France
This shows far-right way ahead (36% in blue) ahead of far left coalition (28.5% in red) while incumbent Macron's center-right party comes 3rd (21% in orange). It seems that far-right will at least win relative majority
No reasons to worry at all... Just bros living in the moment...
More seriously remember what the East-West divide and the new world order (as defined by Zoltan) are all about: Wars are about alliances: the enemy of your enemy becomes your friend... After the BRICS, should we focus instead on Turkey, Russia, Iran, China, and North Korea playing “TRICKs” – an alliance of economies sanctioned by the U.S. getting ever closer economically and militarily?
France’s National Rally continued to cement its lead in opinion polls a week before the country’s snap parliamentary election, largely at the expense of President Emmanuel Macron’s centrist bloc.
Support for Marine Le Pen’s far-right party was pegged at 36% in a survey by Elabe published Sunday in La Tribune Dimanche. That’s ahead of 27% for the left-wing New Popular Front alliance, and just 20% for Macron’s movement. Source: Bloomberg
