Kamala Harris to the office of the Vice-President in 2020 came as a surprise to many of the conservatives. If Biden were to stand down and be replaced on the ballot box, Harris is likely to replace him as the Democratic Party’s presidential nominee.

However, there could be historical and sociological reasons that could prevent her victory, according to political analysts.

interoperability is not feasible in the Indian market as the existing STBs deployed by the distribution platform operators (DPOs) are non-interoperable, and deploying new interoperable STBs will be a costly affair, say industry experts. The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai), in its recent recommendations to the ministry of information and broadcasting (MIB), reiterated that all STBs in India must, in principle, support technical interoperability. STB interoperability is the ability to change a service provider without changing the STB. Currently, customers have to purchase a new STB every time they want to shift to a new service provider. «There are two types of interoperability: technical and commercial. Technical interoperability without commercial interoperability is not feasible because the STBs remain the property of the DPOs,» said a top official with a TV distribution company, on condition of anonymity. This is not the first time Trai has made a recommendation in favour of STB interoperability. The discussion on STB interoperability has been going on since 2010, when the regulator first floated a consultation paper on the issue. «STB interoperability is a dead horse that the regulator keeps flogging. At a time when consumers have the option of moving to internet-enabled content delivery, the regulator is talking about a legacy issue that has not been implemented to this day,» said the India head of an international content security firm.

US President Joe Biden is behind many national surveys, especially after the first presidential debate. Many Democrats who are desperately trying to replace Biden on the ballot box have found a consensus candidate in Vice-President Kamala Harris.

As the Democrats grapple with this challenge, Allan Lichtman, a presidential historian and professor who had correctly predicted nine out of the last 10 elections, has a word of advice for the Democrats. He has said that Biden is the best person to contest the upcoming election and Harris cannot rescue the Democrats.

«So, from valuation standpoint, things do look to be very favourable. But I think Q1 performance is going to be quite muted for FY25 because we have not seen any large ticket films doing well. IPL, World Cup, elections, all these things have been a dampener as far as Q1 occupancy is concerned. Q2 obviously will be better versus Q1.
