his term. let's look now at the weeks that have led up to this decision. inflation has, it was a moment that changed the trajectory of the 2024 presidential campaigns has increased. making sure that we're able to make every single solitary person eligible for what i've been able to do with the, with the coven, i should be with dealing with everything we have to do with what if we finally be medicare? therefore, president joe biden called for an early one on one tv debate with donald trump. to dispel concerns about his age, we get to tony don't was a plan that backfired spectacularly the total edition, as viewers watched bite and struggle with his answers in more asylum of questions about biden's, fitness had dog his campaign from the beginning in his public appearances in the us and abroad,

the 81 year old appeared increasingly frail. like at last month's g 7 summit in italy, your job in the wake of biden's debate performance about his campaign and press team sought to don't play concerns. a. he had a cold and a bad night. i would not see this as an episode. i would see this is what it was and what we believe it to be, which is it was a bad night. and he did, on top of that, he had a cold biden's. every move was closely scrutinized. initially, he refused to bottle out a letter he said to democrat lawmakers failed to alleviate worries. pressure grew as high ranking democrats and donors publicly expressed reservations, including former house speaker, nancy, but most many praise bye. these achievements,

which include major infrastructure spending and restoring transatlantic partnerships, while at the same time concluding, that biden was no longer up to the job of stopping a 2nd to trump presidency. the that's cross over to our washington bureau chief n as paul um, as a biden tweeted or posted on x. but what more do we know? yeah, you know, the whole country kind of force waiting for the office to just tell them this report like big names like nancy pelosi diploma speaker of the house. also, the former president rock obama told me to buy the workers, the vice president because got more outspoken over the last couple of days that a to buy it and it's just not safe for office any any more. and that's also reading as a resume b, as in boy, u. n. in the country, you know, everybody was just like a kind of waited when will it be specially off of the the company couldn't the

national convention which just took place last week in milwaukee where presidents, former president donald trump, really kind of a people's strong interested leaders so this is a discrepancy between the lead on because i think it was bigger by the day. so the question is all for what will happen next? honestly, we don't know. i think it is important to mention for our steward from around the world as to why that is not letting you down as the president just to know that he's not running again. and it's a short message because focusing on what he has to accomplish until election day november 5th. i know, i know you said that we don't know what's going to happen next, but presumably vice president, complet harris is going to be of the top contender for the presidential run. well, one would think so,

but that is also out in the open. the many democrats will say ok, now we really want to have an open convention. what does that mean? that would mean that all the delegates go into chicago. it's taking place in 3 and a half weeks or so. what then be able to vote for ever they want? it's a complicated system and every stage has a little bit different kind of what. so without them any open questions, but of course she's the vice president. she was the job i didn't speak, but at least for the moment it's even up to you if you really will endorse her. so again, many, many questions the major break is use of course is the joe biden. the sitting president of the united states is not running again, and that comes in a moment of time where we have these huge companies, of course, in the middle east, condos, ukraine, that the big question. what the next slide, how many trays on it to uh regarding uh uh, regarding the funding if you got so many open questions, but you have this one is paul,
