👀 A Presidential Plot Twist!
President Joe Biden’s announcement of stepping down from the 2024 presidential campaign took the world by storm. Here’s a complete run down of happened next 👇
🎯 With Biden stepping down less than four months before Election Day, the Democratic party was in a mad dash to find a new candidate. But, Biden sorted that out too.
He threw his support behind Vice President Kamala Harris as his successor. But, she is still not the official contender.
🎯 The Democratic delegates will choose the new nominee through a virtual vote in early August or, for those who love a bit of drama, at an open convention in Chicago starting August 19.
President Biden’s decision affected almost every sector but the stock market and cryptocurrencies took the biggest hit.
📈📉 Market Mayhem
The S&P 500 took a 1.5% tumble on the news, while gold gleefully jumped up 2%. Investors are now flocking to safe-haven assets like gold and the Swiss franc, seeking a cozy shelter from the storm. The "Trump Trade," which has been boosting sectors like healthcare (up 3%), banking (up 2%), and oil (up 2.5%), might hit the brakes as the market rethinks its next move.
🪙 Crypto Went Crazy
In the wild west of cryptocurrency, Biden's sudden exit has sent the memecoin Jeo Boden into a nosedive, plummeting a staggering 44%. Meanwhile, Kamala Horris and Gabin Noosum tokens are skyrocketing by 52% and 115%, respectively.

But, there’s some good news too…
With Biden bowing out, the Democrats now have a golden opportunity to charm the crypto crowd. Imagine VP Harris shaking things up with pro-crypto picks like Pete Buttigieg or Josh Shapiro.
But here's the million-bitcoin question:
Will the Dems embrace the crypto wave and surf it to victory?
But, now let’s move on to other things…
🏅 It’s OLYMPIC’S time & it’s showinggg!
With just two days to go until the 2024 Paris Olympics, a whopping half a million tickets are still up for grabs. Organizing committee Head Tony Estanguet claims it’s all due to some last-minute seating plans and shiny new ticket packages.
Starting at a "bargain" 24 euros, these tickets are still available on the official website.
💅 Taylor Swift is not the ‘It’ girl anymore
Hold the phone—Eminem’s back, and he's shaking up the Billboard 200 like a wild party! His latest album, The Death of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce), has just DETHRONED Taylor Swift's 12-week reign with The Tortured Poets Department.
BTW, it’s not just a solo act—K-pop sensation Enhypen’s Romance: Untold has made a splash at #2. Meanwhile, Taylor's album, which had been the hottest thing since sliced bread, has slipped to #4.
Swifties, y’all okay? We feel ya 🫂
🤨 Dad, the Internet is being weird again
Social media is redefining "thirst" like we need more reasons to question reality. It turns out that openly discussing sexual desire has become the new norm. Because, clearly, the internet needed to make expressing sexual interest as mainstream as cat videos.
Traditional attractiveness is still lingering like an old party guest, but now we've got these bizarre new standards that dictate that we “RESPECT” others’ kink cause that’s more “PRACTICAL.”
On that weird note, we will take your leave 👋 See you tomorrow, folks. Till then, stay curious!
