Meanwhile in the region,

So, here's an interesting development in Israeli politics, Yesh Atid and Hosen Y'Israel(newly formed party led by Benny Gantz), the two highest polling opposition parties, have decided to have a united list. This means that as a collective they have a low chance of defeating PM Netenyahu, whereas previously they had none. This, combined with Arab parties' and leftist split, can show a similar political evolution we saw in Spain, UK, Macedonia and Turkey, where centre-left and centre-right parties have come together to block rise of authoritarianism to supplant the overall decline of left, and small leftish ethnic/nationalist parties become nationally important alongside far-right nationalist blocks.
Note: Israel is a parliamentary democracy, so even if the opposition wins the majority, they will still be unable to form the government without external support, thus lose PM position. And so far opposition cannot win a parliamentary majority without some government parties shifting to opposition.
Secondly, Trump is keeping troops in Syria:

Rather than a complete withdrawal, Trump will decrease the amount of troops substantially, keeping only an observer force to hold back Turkey and Assad/Iran. This is
much better, but Trump is still unwilling to find a diplomatic solution to Syrian crisis to follow up on this.
I just hope that, Bernie or not, liberals would vote for the Democratic nominee instead of throwing their votes away when they could combat Trump.
That depends if there is a major corruption scandal in the candidate run. If Harris is found out to have shifted the campaign funds from other nominees like Clinton did(not just Bernie, but from senators and representatives as well, you know, the actually important members of the legislature) Harris will lose. Second issue is marijuana, but most candidates have evolved their perspectives on that (except seemingly Biden, if he runs), thanks to Canada.
Edit: Dow Jones Industrial Average has gone back to above $26,000. While the stock market is still volatile, it seems to look relatively healthy as the China Trade War is over.
Edit 2: Shanghai Stock Exchange A Share Index has gone back to above 3000 yuan. It needs to go back to around 3500 to achieve its yearly high and back to around 5000 to reach its pre-crash high, but chances are it will.
