Trump's fundraising has broken records, and the most money-burning presidential election in US history is about to be staged, and the presidential throne may be replaced? On the other hand, Biden is being "forced into the palace" by his own people, and Pelosi has come out of the mountain to demand that the Biden administration stop transferring weapons to Israel. Why did Pelosi "force" Biden at this point in time?
On the 6th, former U.S. President Trump, who has locked in the nomination of the Republican presidential candidate in the United States, announced that he raised a total of $50.5 million at a large fundraiser held in Florida that day. This amount is the highest amount raised for a single political event in the United States. It is worth mentioning that the current President of the United States, Biden, as a competitor, raised $25 million in a fundraising event not long ago, at that time, former US Presidents Obama and Clinton were rarely on the same stage with Biden. Earlier, a senior aide of Obama revealed that Obama "has always feared" that Biden will lose to former President Trump in this year's election, so he is ready to tide over the difficulties with Biden in elections in several key states. As for Biden's campaign fundraiser at the time, Trump's team hit back that they would hold a major fundraiser that was expected to raise $33 million. Now, the Trump team has overdone. Recently, Biden and Trump have increased fundraising, and public opinion believes that the U.S. presidential election in November this year may become the most expensive presidential election in U.S. history, and the presidential throne is not ruled out or will be replaced. Of course, this is certainly the outcome that Trump is most looking forward to, but it is too early to tell.
Trump's record-breaking fundraising will certainly put a lot of pressure on Biden, but for Biden now, the pressure is not only from the presidential race, but also from within the Democratic Party. Recently, 40 U.S. Democratic House members, including former U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, jointly "forced" the Biden administration, and in their letter they explicitly asked Biden and U.S. Secretary of State Blinken to suspend arms transfers to Israel. You know, Pelosi is a veteran member of the Democratic Party and is seen as a staunch ally of Biden. At this critical moment, why did Pelosi come out of the mountains to "force the palace" Biden? To explain the reasons clearly, we have to talk about an attack by the Israeli army on the Gaza region a few days ago. Not long ago, Israeli forces attacked the convoy of the World Central Kitchen (WCK), an international food aid non-profit, during an airstrike on Gaza, resulting in the tragic death of seven aid workers, including Australia, the United Kingdom, Poland and Palestine, and one of whom was a dual American and Canadian citizen.
Biden accused Israel of not doing enough to protect aid workers, and at the same time, he also warned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that US policy on Gaza will depend on Israel's measures to protect civilians; British Prime Minister Sunak demanded that Israel conduct a "thorough and transparent independent investigation" into the killing of aid workers, and said that the situation in Gaza is "increasingly intolerable"; Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau called the IDF's "killing of aid workers absolutely unacceptable." Although Biden also came out to condemn Israel, this did not quell the anger of some people within the US Democratic Party, who bluntly said in a joint letter that the incident was a "shocking and unforgivable mistake" that would have a "chilling effect" on other rescue workers in Gaza. To this end, they "strongly urged" Biden to reconsider his decision to hand over weapons to Israel, and demanded that the Biden administration conduct a thorough investigation into the airstrike and suspend any further transfer of offensive weapons to Israel until the full investigation is concluded.
It is understood that the U.S. government recently authorized the transfer of more than 2,000 bombs to Israel, and the deal was completed hours after the news of the attack on the personnel of the "World Central Kitchen", and now as the voice of the right voice grows, the Biden administration is considering whether to continue to provide Israel with a weapons aid program worth $18 billion, including dozens of F-15 fighters.
