India, who were recently crowned champions in the T20 World Cup albeit with a different set of players, were expected to blow away the Zimbabwean challenge when they restricted the home side to 115 for nine. But Zimbabwe wrote their own script, reducing India to 28 for four in the Powerplay and then eventually bowling them out for 102 in 19.5 overs.

Everything I do. You know, not only am I campaigning, but I'm running the world.» The 81-year-old Biden made it through the 22-minute interview without any major blunders that would inflict further damage to his imperiled candidacy, but it appeared unlikely to fully tamp down concerns about his age and fitness for another four years and his ability to defeat Donald Trump in November.

Vice President Kamala Harris distancing herself from Joe Biden though she has hit the campaign trail for the incumbent president and the Democrat contender for the 2024 US Presidential Election? She tops the list of the probables if Biden pulls out of the race for the White House. This question was being asked because though she is campaigning for the Democrats, she mentioned Joe Biden's name only once in her about half an hour interview with 'Essence Fest'. The black women’s magazine held the event on Saturday in New Orleans. Kamala Harris has hit the headlines and many fellow Democrats have put pressure on Biden to withdraw and allow the vice president to challenge Republican contender Donald Trump since his reportedly pathetic performance on the June 27 presidential debate.

Joe Biden's politically devastating performance on the debate stage in Atlanta, several current and former officials and others who encountered him behind closed doors noticed that he increasingly appeared confused or listless, or would lose the thread of conversations. Like many people his age, Biden, 81, has long experienced instances in which he mangled a sentence, forgot a name or mixed up a few facts, even though he could be sharp and engaged most of the time. But in interviews, people in the room with him more recently said that the lapses seemed to be growing more frequent, more pronounced and more worrisome. The uncomfortable occurrences were not predictable, but seemed more likely when he was in a large crowd or tired after a particularly bruising schedule. In the 23 days leading up to the debate against former President Donald Trump, Biden jetted across the Atlantic Ocean twice for meetings with foreign leaders and then flew from Italy to California for a splashy fundraiser, maintaining a grueling pace that exhausted even much younger aides.
