Not knowing the American system if Obama is telling Biden to drop out what’s the chances Obama will take over and fight against trump

Nil.

He can't be president again - 2 term limit.

He's served the maximum two terms.

He's served the maximum two terms.

By all accounts his Mrs going by the polls would tonk Trump. You'd think there's something they could do where she ran for the gig and at least Obama would be back in the Whitehouse. Seems she's not interested though.

Has anyone told the OSG that?

None.

There is a 2 term limit agreed by Congress. Obama would respect that limit.

Trump on the other hand has already suggested he might like a 3rd term.

And a 4th term and a 5th term...

I'm pretty certain that he's been told bluntly that repeating that line would be a bad idea, so he isn't.

Changing the Constitution to do it is still a way off, even for Agent Orange.

Apparently access to all the funding for the Biden campaign is conditional upon Biden or Harris being on the ticket. A third party could run for president but they would need Harris to be the vice president pick on the same ticket.

[The Future’s Blue!]

Did you know the UK has been destroyed?

It's all a bit mad.

The Republicans hate the UK. Not just because of the new quote about Islamist state, having Sunak as PM was a step too far.
