‘He’s withdrawing’: Joe Biden predicted to drop out of the presidential race

Former Victorian Liberal Party president Michael Kroger has predicted US President Joe Biden won’t be the Democratic nominee in this year’s presidential election.
“Joe Biden is not running for the presidency - he doesn’t know it at the minute; his wife doesn’t know it,” he told Sky News Digital Presenter Gabriella Power.
“But he will not be the Democratic Party candidate for the presidency - you can say that right now.
“This guy cannot run again. He will not run again.
“He’s withdrawing at or before the Democratic Convention ... and Kamala Harris will be the Democratic nominee.”

I'm not sure about that. Ukraine has lost 35.000 since the war began. Russia has lost over half a million. Not including their wounded. Russia losing over half its eqwipment and can't get anymore of its tanks into production. Ukraine is winning the drone fight. Russia invaded Ukraine not the other way around. I don't think Poland will allow Russia to take Ukraine. They will enter the war along with ex soviet states if they have to. I've been watching a lot of footage Russia losing major eqwipment and expensive defence missile system to small drones in large numbers. Also to mention Russia black Sea fleet is basically dead in the water. Russian troops are running out of supplies and not getting support inside Ukraine. Many have surrendered due to fact some haven't even eating in days. And are running out of ammo. And Russia forces are losing in the trenches. Ukraine has better fighters..Russia still has a strength in the east but they are basically pin down and can't advance. Maybe let's see what will happen when Ukraine finally gets to use the f16s what will change. Will Russia lose its strength in the east. Some experts thinks they will. If you think Russia can win this war with a supply shortage basically lack of engineers to upkeep its old equipment. Back into service. While under heavy sanctions. Lol. As if. You think North Korea and Iran can supply them for long? Very slow getting it to the front lines. And Russia has already lost several major supplies been taken out by Ukraine drones. And HIMARS
