After all the drama, Joseph R. Biden Jr. elected 46th President of the United States of America. Kamala Harris elected Vice President of the United States of America. She has many firsts. First female Vice President, first African-American, first Indian origin, first from my home town Chennai, and first from my own area in Chennai, Besant Nagar.
Congratulations to both of them.
Potentially, some dramas yet to come.
I wrote on April 11, 2013, the following:
Anytime in the next 25 years, Kamala Harris may contest for the President of USA and may even win.
Kamala Harris may become President in a few months or in a few years or a strong candidate in 2024.
Finally a decision.... let's see what he does .... even though this time around i was silently rooting for Trump......you truly have insight into the future SG.... u should start that as a serious profession
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments Dee. As a serious profession? They will run me out of town.
DeleteCongratulations. Your prediction has come true about Kamala Harris even 4 years ahead. Bravo 👏👏. I personally know your predictions have come true on so many occasions.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments Gowri. I know you like me a lot. That is why you give such complements. Just a correction. It is not 4 years. It is 7 years. I wrote about her in 2013.
DeleteMore Drama yet to unfold!!Next 2 weeks will be action packed!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments Madhu. And, welcome to my blog. You are correct. More drama may unfold.
DeleteMadhu, please visit here as often as possible. Thanks.
I am not sure if the vote was for the incumbents or against the rulers. If it's the latter, democracy is not exactly shining.

Thanks for your comments Rajesh. I don't know because both candidates have strong loyal supporters.
DeleteAfter a four-year break, America returns to normalcy.
ReplyDeleteFrom Monday, Trump has promised a series of litigations. Let us see what comes out of it.
Thanks for your comments Pradeep. Looks like not enough support for Trump even in Republican camp.
DeleteI could get a sense of that on November 3 itself when Trump made a speech from the White House at around 2.30 in the night or so, when he made that infamous claim 'frankly we did win this election', even before votes had been counted.
DeleteAfter his speech, he asked Pence who was standing beside to "say a few words". Pence was very measured in his tone and spoke like any other leader would have at that time. He said, "we are on the road to victory".
Besides this, the difference in tone and tenor of Pence and Trump was too stark to be missed. Pence would have got a mouthful from Trump immediately after that!
Today, George Bush issued a very nicely worded congratulatory message to Biden.
And the first Asian too. Let's wait and see how well or ill their performances will be.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments Sarala. We will see.
DeleteEven I feel she could become President in 2024. Let's see. For now, happy that things will get back to normal after Jan.
