Archives Biden - Page 2 of 5 - New Eastern Outlook

On August 22, the Democratic National Convention held in Chicago almost unanimously nominated Kamala Harris as a US presidential candidate. Although she stated in her speech that she intends to be president for all Americans, Harris nevertheless emphasised that if D. Trump is elected to the White House, the country will face huge troubles – if not a catastrophe…

With Joe Biden, all set to exit the White House later this year, his one-term presidency has begun to come under increasing scrutiny to determine his legacy. What sort of President Biden is/was? To what extent was he able to achieve his foreign policy goals? What characterizes his era? Unlike Trump’s “Make America Great Again” and subsequent US “exit” from the Middle East and America’s “forever wars” in Afghanistan, Biden’s main legacy is his interventionist foreign policy. These interventions, however, were unlike the direct military interventions of the Bush and the Obama administrations.

There are just too many unanswered questions: just pretend I am a naive student in an American High School, taking a course in American government, and I would have the audacity to ask: “How is it that President Biden is not fit to run for president but he is fit to be president? Is that not a conundrum?”  Under such circumstances, how will the replacement be picked; I also think the Democratic Party is not fit to be a party!!
