U.S. President Joe Biden ended his reelection campaign on Sunday after fellow Democrats lost faith in his mental acuity and ability to beat Donald Trump, leaving the presidential race in uncharted territory, the foreign media reported.

Mr. Biden, in a post on X, said he will remain in his role as president and commander-in-chief until his term ends in January 2025 and will address the nation this week.

True right. Our politicians forcefully remain in politics until the day they go to their graves.

Kamala Harrison is half Indian , so Indian government would encourage Indians in America to vote for her but this would enrage Trump.

If only Ranil would do the nation and demand for quicker Presidential election, and also call Parliament election, by asking SLPPers to dissolve parliament.

Rascal gave money to Ukraine, and forgets needy country like ours Monday, 22 July 2024 01:12 AM

If his replacement has same policies to waste money on Ukraine war causing much deaths on both Ukraine side and Russian side, then he or she is also no good. Only US leader our country should respect is one which causes the lives of our people to improve. Maybe US can give give lower interest cost loans than our current lenders, with good new President.

A good lesson to be learnt to our SL politicians. Our politicians are craving for power and leverage power to amass wealth illegal means.

Ranil should do the same. Remember his performance in the BBC Channel 4 interview. He is senile and his shaking hands indicate the onset of Parkinson's. These old men who have power are usually very stubborn and do not want to accept that their time is up.

America became an international embarrassment thanks to Biden. He could have passed on the mantle and left with his legacy intact but he got greedy for power and position.

There's no way in hell Kamala Harris is going to beat Trump, but because politicians are intrinsically greedy, she will try. Better for the democrats to field someone else who might have a genuine chance of being America's next president. The people of Sri Lanka will suffer further with another Trump presidency. For starters, oil prices will reach astronomical heights.

Our Ranil should also follow Bidens decision for the sake of our motherland and its long suffering people.

After much pressure and criticisms about his ailing health, Biden took this decision. Better late than never. Yet another suitable candidate is needed as Kamala Harris cannot match Trump in the big polls.
