Biden ad rakes Trump over COVID response 4 years ago
Quick Glance: Biden Contrasts Himself with Trump Through 'Are You Better Off Today' Question
  • President Joe Biden used the 'are you better off today than you were four years ago' question as a new line of attack against former President Donald Trump, reminding voters of the challenges during Trump's term.

  • Biden also criticized Trump for his 'bloodbath' comment, emphasizing the need to reject political violence. He redirected the narrative by focusing on the 'better off' theme and highlighted the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic in the U.S.

  • Furthermore, Biden underscored the progress made since Trump's presidency, including COVID-19 control, the return of 15 million jobs, and stock market recovery. Biden's campaign sees a resurgence of interest in a Biden-Trump rematch among voters.

  • The article also mentions Biden's comments on U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz and his support for Rep. Colin Allred, positioning Cruz as an ally of Trump. Biden conveyed the message that the focus should be on Trump's intentions and actions, rather than on himself.

Quick Glance: South Korea Witnesses Increase in Marriage Rates in 2023 After Long Decline
  • The number of marriages in South Korea rose in 2023 for the first time in more than a decade, driven by pent-up demand from couples who postponed their weddings during the pandemic.

  • The slight uptick in marriages last year followed a significant decline in South Korea's fertility rate in 2023, as women, concerned about career advancement and the cost of raising children, delayed childbirth or opted not to have children.

  • Marriages involving foreign partners saw a notable increase for the second consecutive year, rising by 18.3% to 19,717.

  • The government has pledged to implement 'extraordinary measures' to address the low birth rate, with political parties promising public housing and easier loans for young South Koreans ahead of the April election.
