Predictions about whom America will choose as president resemble a fast-moving ping-pong match. In an unexpected bounce this week. President Joe Biden withdrew his name from consideration with Democrats selecting Vice-President Kamala Harris to oppose Donald Trump in November’s election
Biden basically used the Obama mantra of “Yes We Can” in different words, saying, “We have never, ever, ever failed in America when we have acted together. And so today, at this time and in this place, let us start afresh.
It six weeks the Biden Administration takes charge, but is wasting no time organizing its fight against the COVID-19 pandemic surging in America. Thursday saw infectious disease expert Dr. Anthony Fauci named as Biden’s chief medical adviser.
Joe Biden obviously meant it when he made a commitment to racial, gender and ideological diversity in top advisory positions. While many of the named choices have experience working with him when he was vice president, Indian Americans are the flavour of the transition review teams.

Opposition to a peaceful presidential transition between the Donald Trump Administration and the incoming Joseph Biden Administration in Washington has shifted to what some observers are calling outright destruction of the American federal government.
