Former US vice president Joseph R. Biden Jr. has announced his decision to run for president for the third time to challenge President Trump in 2020.

The 76-year-old Democrat politician who served eight years as Barack Obama’s vice president after more than three decades in the U.S. Senate made the announcement in a campaign video released Thursday morning.

Explaining his reasons for running, Mr. Biden began by recalling the white supremacist march through Charlottesville, Va., in 2017 and a counterprotest, and Mr. Trump’s comment that there were “very fine people on both sides.” In that moment, Mr. Biden said, “I knew the threat to our nation was unlike any I’d ever seen in my lifetime.” “We are in the battle for the soul of this nation,” Mr. Biden said. “I believe history will look back on four years of this president and all he embraces as an aberrant moment in time. But if we give Donald Trump eight years in the White House, he will forever and fundamentally alter the character of this nation, who we are, and I cannot stand by and watch that happen.” Biden’s first major campaign event is set for Monday in Pittsburgh, where he is expected to speak about rebuilding an inclusive middle class, according to NBC News. Biden will then launch a multistate campaign tour with a focus on states with early voting, where he will hash out his vision for closing the divides that are driving Americans apart, NBC reported.

She said: “Nigerian and Ghanaian music markets are not the same. Nigerians are way more than we are in terms of numbers. Numbers really matter now. The number of people that will stream Nigerian music in Nigeria is different from the number of people that will stream Ghanaian music in Ghana. The numbers are not the same.

“In the capacity of numbers, Lagos is bigger than Ghana. It is like the music hub itself. Nigerians are way bigger than we are. So, usually when I see people comparing, I’m like, ‘Do you guys know?’

“There shouldn’t be any comparisons. What I believe that we should is that we should be more collaborative. Find our vibes and put them together to advance what Afrobeats is going to be in the future; for us to be the gatekeepers of our own sound. And I think that’s the power move.”

British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has condemned transgenderism, saying people should not be bullied into believing anyone can “be the s£x they want to be.”

It also shouldn’t be controversial for parents to know what their children are learning in school about relationships,” Mr Sunak said in his speech at the 2023 Conservative Party conference on Wednesday.

With his party members cheering, Mr Sunak said people cannot be the sex they want, stating, “a man is a man and a is a woman.”

We shouldn’t get bullied into believing people can be any s£x they want to be. They can’t. A man is a man, and a woman is a woman; that is just common sense,” said Mr Sunak.

Mr Sunak further said, “We are going to change this country, and that means life means life. That shouldn’t be a controversial position. The vast majority of hard-working people agree with it.”

The prime minister’s statement has sparked reactions with LGBTQ supporters accusing him of spreading h@te.
