Nepal’s Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal, known as Prachanda, was compelled to resign after losing a confidence vote in parliament.

His third term as PM marks another tumultuous chapter in his political career, which began after his Maoist group ended a decade-long insurgency in 2006. Khadga Prasad Oli, the Communist Party leader, is set to succeed him.

These errors have raised concerns about Biden’s age and fitness for office. Trump mocked Biden’s mistakes on social media, to which Biden responded, distinguishing Harris as a prosecutor and Trump as a felon.
