🇺🇸 Independent US journalist explains media shift against US President Joe Biden: ''Democrats are petrified he’s going to run again and clear the field''

"The concerns about his [Biden's] cognitive decline emanated not from supporters of Bernie Sanders nor Donald Trump, they came from these kinds of inside DC strategists and operatives who in 2019 were petrified that Biden would win the Democratic nomination basically by inertia," the independent US journalist Glenn Greenwald claimed.

📉The remarks followed the latest poll revealing that the majority of US Democrats do not want Biden to run for reelection in 2024. A total of 64% of Democratic voters made it clear they would prefer a new candidate in the upcoming presidential campaign, and only 13% believe that the country is on the right track, according to the New York Times/Siena College survey.

📊 US President Joe Biden’s net approval ratings fell further in the second quarter of 2022, with voters in 44 states more likely to hold an unfavorable rather than positive view of his performance, according to a Morning Consult poll released Monday.

▪️ Swiss cantons provisionally agreed to bring in wounded Ukrainian troops and civilians for treatment after the Euro-Atlantic Disaster Response Coordination Center made the request in May, the Tages-Anzeiger newspaper reported.

▪️ The Federal Department of Foreign Affairs said in June, however, after three weeks of deliberations, that it had to turn down the request on "legal and practical grounds" because Geneva and The Hague conventions require that belligerents tendered in neutral territory do not take part again in military operations.
