Biden also said he has had enough of the lie that the 2020 election was “stolen” or “rigged." ((Video: Biden SOT: 20;16;37;28 MRT BIDEN for cindy I will not stand by and watch)) ((President Joe Biden)) "I will not let the will of the American people be overturned by wild conspiracy theories and baseless evidence with claims of fraud. I will not stand by and watch elections in this country stolen by people who simply refuse to accept that they lost.” ((Video: more B-roll from Biden at last night’s speech, OVER TO: Cecile Shea SOT 1: https://app.frame.io/player/babf07eb-6f56-4e5d-8b9b-568a5d9cfd6a TC: 00:01:26 - 00:02:27)) ((NARRATOR)) One expert told VOA she believes Biden is calling out Trump now because he senses a shift. [[Radio Intro: Cécile Shea is a nonresident senior fellow on security and diplomacy at the Chicago Council on Global Affairs.

People don't like the trends that they have seen over the last few years, and these are not necessarily progressive people. And these are not necessarily people who would support a far-left wing candidate, but they are rather people who believe in fairness, who believe that President Trump should not have walked out of the White House with highly sensitive documents.” ((Video: Reuters still photo -FBI photo of classified documents arrayed on the floor of Trump’s home office: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2022%3Anewsml_RC2G7W9G034U&share=true, OVER TO: Aerial views of Mar-a-Lago: https://app.frame.io/player/38087224-be41-49eb-8a67-8f84f57f289a Trump and Melania at Mar-a-Lago: https://app.frame.io/player/16a27e3d-1b59-474a-b07c-01d4911093d3)) ((NARRATOR)) Trump has denied any wrongdoing in removing documents from the White House and storing them at his Florida residence, instead attacking the FBI and the Justice Department, saying, "This break-in was a sneak attack on democracy.” The FBI had a warrant to conduct the search. ((Video: VOA Kurdish Service original January 6th video and NATO SOUND-starting at 2:48 -woman with a megaphone)) On Thursday, Trump said if he runs for re-election and is re-elected, he would “look very hard” at issuing pardons to all those convicted of violent crimes in the January 6th attack on the U.S. Capitol.

Shea told VOA that she is hearing different reactions. ((Cécile Shea, Chicago Council on Global Affairs)) ((Mandatory Skype)) “For the billions of people in the world who do not live in a country where a Ministry of Justice would feel empowered to investigate and potentially prosecute a former president, they look at what is happening in the U.S. with a certain amount of awe and even envy.” ((Video: AFP V000_32E78GQ SLUGRAW - US - POLITICS - VOTE - REPUBLICANS - TRUMP - PALIN Trump and Palin supporters doing the wave at a big rally in Alaska)) (OVER TO: Trump speaking at an Arizona rally in July: AFP V000_32FA4JK)) ((NARRATOR)) An expert based in Belgium says many Europeans are watching the U.S. anxiously as the November midterm congressional, state and local elections draw nearer.

I think European leaders spent the better part of the Trump administration trying to decode that administration and figure out how to work with it more effectively.” ((Video: AFP V000_VID1054236_EN: Trump and Macron touring with their wives in Paris)) ((NARRATOR)) Lesser told VOA that above all, allies look to the United States for predictability, and he said they did not get much of that during the previous administration.
