U.S. President Joe Biden has bowed out of a bid for re-election and endorsed current Vice President Kamala Harris in his place. It comes shortly after an assassination attempt against Republican candidate Donald Trump, which has bolstered his popularity. With the November elections coming up rapidly, how will Biden’s decision impact voters? In this episode of “Taiwan Talks,” we examine the significance of Biden’s decision, the recent assassination attempt against Trump, and Kamala Harris’ advantages as a potential Democrat candidate. Furthermore, we discuss the potential influence of Trump and Harris’ respective stances on Taiwan.
