Jill Biden says she thought husband was 'having a stroke' during 2024 debate Former US First Lady Jill Biden revealed she believed her husband, President Joe Biden, was experiencing a stroke during his controversial 2024 presidential debate against Donald Trump. In an interview with CBS News, Biden described the moment as deeply alarming, stating she had never witnessed her husband in such a state before or since. "I was frightened... I thought, 'Oh, my God, he's having a stroke.' And it scared me to death," she recounted, emphasizing the unprecedented nature of the incident. The debate, held in June 2024, marked a pivotal moment in the presidential race. Biden's performance was widely criticized for its disjointedness, with analysts and media outlets highlighting his struggles with coherence, a raspy voice attributed to illness, and moments of apparent mental lapse. These issues raised significant concerns about his health, cognitive abilities, and age, as he was 81 at the time. The debate's outcome intensified pressure on Biden from within his own party, with Democratic leaders urging him to step down as their nominee. Despite his campaign's insistence that he would remain in the race, the debate's fallout, combined with subsequent gaffes during a NATO summit and a frail demeanor following a Covid diagnosis, ultimately led to his decision to withdraw from the presidential contest. Biden's withdrawal in late 2024 paved the way for Vice President Kamala Harris to assume the Democratic nomination. However, Harris's bid to unseat Trump in the November 2024 election ended in defeat. In her memoir, Harris criticized Biden's decision to seek a second term, labeling it "recklessness." She wrote, "'It's Joe and Jill's decision.' We all said that, like a mantra...#jill_biden #cbs_news #joe_biden #president_biden #2024_debate
Sanya Malhotra and Rishab Sharma Part Ways; Actress and Sitarist End Relationship After Over a Year Sanya Malhotra and Rishab Sharma, an actress and a sitarist respectively, have reportedly ended their relationship after being together for more than a year. The news emerged amid reports that the couple has unfollowed each other on social media, marking the end of their low-key romance. While details about the reasons for their breakup remain undisclosed, insiders suggest the split was handled discreetly, with neither party making an official statement. The couple reportedly began dating in early 2025, though their relationship remained largely out of the public eye. They avoided high-profile appearances together and often kept their interactions private, a common strategy for celebrities seeking to avoid media scrutiny. Paparazzi occasionally spotted them at separate events, reinforcing the couple’s efforts to maintain discretion. Despite the lack of public visibility, their relationship gained attention due to their respective careers and the cultural significance of their professions. Rishab Sharma, a disciple of the legendary sitarist Pt Ravi Shankar, is known for his musical talent and family legacy. His father and grandfather were renowned luthiers, crafting instruments for generations. Rishab has performed at prestigious events, including a Diwali celebration for U.S. President Joe Biden and a large-scale concert in Houston, Texas. His work in the world of classical music has earned him recognition, though his personal life has remained relatively private until now. Sanya Malhotra, meanwhile, has been focused on her acting career, with her latest film, Mrs., receiving critical acclaim.#houston_texas #joe_biden #sanya_malhotra #rishab_sharma #pt_ravi_shankar
The Iran War Is Uncovering the Weakness in U.S.-Gulf Ties Neither the Abraham Accords nor the presence of large U.S. bases are enough to protect Arab Gulf states. The current agreement among the Arab Gulf states may not last. These countries’ approaches and choices moving forward will likely move them in different directions, making it even less likely that negotiations to end the war will meet regional security needs. The divergence is best seen in the likely paths of Saudi Arabia and the UAE, particularly over the issue of ties with Israel. A few years ago, Saudi Arabia—much like other Gulf states—viewed Iran as a major threat to the Gulf region, because of both its military action and its support for proxies in Iraq, Yemen, and Lebanon. Saudi leaders wanted U.S. protection against this threat in the form of advanced U.S. weaponry, a peaceful nuclear program, and a defense treaty that would commit Washington to protecting Saudi Arabia from external threats—mainly an Iranian one. But the American leadership demurred. The Joe Biden administration wanted Saudi officials to sign a peace treaty with Israel as a condition for accommodating these requests. When Tehran hit Saudi oil installations in 2019 without Washington coming to its rescue, Riyadh decided it was time to indirectly poke Washington by seeking closer ties with China. That got Washington to change its position and eventually commit to working with Saudi leaders on a peaceful nuclear program and selling them advanced U.S. weaponry. Riyadh also decided that if Washington was not going to come to its rescue, its best option was to try to reach some form of accommodation with Tehran. The past few years witnessed a serious thaw in the relationship between Saudi Arabia and Iran. Whatever goodwill had been built up is now out of the window.#iran #united_arab_emirates #saudi_arabia #joe_biden #abraham_accords
