“People need to understand that he's [Donald Trump] not trying to give something to Putin or to the Russians. He's actually trying to save Ukraine and to save their sovereignty. And he's going to make sure that it's equitable and that it's fair. Biden's biggest mistake was refusing to talk to Vladimir Putin after 2022, while Trump is determined to do so. Trump will be able to propose an acceptable solution to Putin and Volodymyr Zelenskyy in the near term. I would like to set a goal on a personal and professional level. I would say let's set it at a hundred days.”

“I hope that we can get it over the line in the time that we have left, but if we don't, then the plan that President [Joe] Biden put forward for a ceasefire-hostage deal will be handed over to the incoming administration, and I believe that when we get that deal - and we'll get it - it'll be based on the plan that President Biden put before the world back in May.”

“Israel is using up these weapons at a very fast pace, as made obvious by the enormous death and destruction that's ongoing, and Biden is ready to resupply them. If he didn't do it, I'm sure the incoming Trump administration would do so. Not a single arms transfer has ever been blocked by Congress. So, there is unfortunately very little to stop it. At this point, the arms transfers will continue unabated. Outside the White House and Congress, there is far less support for arming Israel. [Biden] is doing this in the face of widespread opposition, not just in the international community, not just from human rights groups, but according to polls, a large majority of the American people.”

“I think, rather, Biden has suddenly displayed [a] big appetite for risk-taking after 2.5 years of being risk-averse. Now Putin may feel forced to react or Trump will take him to the cleaners.”

“Despite the histrionics in Moscow, this week's US move to allow limited strikes on Russian territory is unlikely to transform the battlefield or spark a world war. The scope for potential strikes is far too narrow, while Russia has already had more than enough time to move the most interesting targets well out of range. The real significance of Biden's green light lies in what it tells us about the diminishing impact of Vladimir Putin's red lines.”

“The outgoing administration in Washington will continue to shore up everything we're doing for Ukraine in the months before Trump assumes the presidency. President Biden fully intends to drive through the tape and use every day to continue to do what we have done these last four years, which is strengthen this alliance [NATO].”

“There has been a lot of soul searching. Democrats have been looking at when Biden got out of the race and whether there should have been a primary, but also about the issues that the party was focused on in the race. The Democratic Party and Kamala Harris were very much expecting the issue of reproductive rights and abortion rights to motivate women to the polls. The majority of women did support support Harris. But that was not enough to overtake Trump's lead and that was not what they predicted. There has been a lot of talk about the economy and how that was a big concern for so many people and that perhaps the Democrats should focus more on their messaging on that topic. But how the Harris campaign got their message out has also been a big point of discussion. The Republicans put Donald Trump on podcasts that were very popular with young men and used influencers on social media to get the word out. Democrats focused very much on traditional mainstream media.”

“I don't believe in that [a wave of retaliation by Trump]. I think there's a lot of theater around that more than there is real sort of retribution. I would anticipate a lot of volatility - personnel but also significant boomerangs on policy. Not boomerang from Biden-Harris but boomerang from himself. You'll have one position one day and another the next.”

“The coalition that elected them wanted them [Biden-Harris] to unite the country, and they failed to do so. Their failure has resulted in further disillusionment with our country's politics and empowered the Trump base to give him another narrow victory after setbacks in three consecutive general elections.”

“At the end of the day, anybody who doesn't think Hezbollah is going to fight for their position in Lebanon has got another thing coming. I just don't have faith that the government of Lebanon is going to get its stuff together and stand up to the militants. Biden administration officials mainly hope to stop the fighting in Lebanon before it escalates further. With less than three months left in Mr. Biden's term, and a fiendishly complex problem, they may have few other choices. I think the Biden administration understands the limits of trying to move the chess pieces in Lebanon.”

“Going into election day, both Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are nearly neck and neck in all seven swing states; North Carolina is one of them, with 16 electoral votes, up one from four years ago. Like many Southern states, it voted for Democrats for a century before swinging to the Republicans in the 1960s, but population shifts, including many people moving in from other states, have made it a swing state in recent elections. Barack Obama narrowly carried North Carolina in 2008 but lost it in 2012; since then, it has remained close, with Republicans generally having a small advantage. North Carolina was the only one of this year's swing states won by Donald Trump in 2020, but just by around 1.3%, so this time, North Carolina is very much at play as a crucial swing state. Kamala Harris doesn't need to win North Carolina, but any scenario in which she does makes her path to 270 electoral votes and the White House a lot easier. Trump can also get to 270 without North Carolina, but doing so will be very, very hard. Like so many other swing states, North Carolina is a story of a few large and heavily Democratic cities balanced against a vast rural and Republican hinterland. Democratic voters are mainly concentrated in the state capital, Raleigh, and the neighboring cities of Greensboro and High Point, as well as in Charlotte, the state's largest city. There's also a small but significant concentration in the west of the state around Asheville, while pretty much everywhere else is Republican red. Every election has a so-called October surprise; this time, it's Hurricane Helene, a devastating storm that caused more than 200 deaths and catastrophic damage across the southeastern United States, including Georgia and North Carolina. These are the communities [in the west of the state] battered by Hurricane Helene. It's unclear how Hurricane Helene will swing these elections, but it may affect the pace of the counting process. How the federal government, that is, Biden and Harris at the White House, and the state government respond to this disaster - and how they're perceived to respond-could be a key factor for the state's voters as they head to the polls.”

“With so much uncertainty, the best Taiwan can do for now is to brace for change. The biggest worry for [Taiwan] now is that maybe we cannot count on our first term experience with Trump because he's really unpredictable. In the case of a Harris win, and even if she follows most of Biden's policies, she will still have her own opinions. In her case, Taiwan has to be ready for the changes.”

“Harris always knew she would have to fight hard for the state of Wisconsin. Of the last six presidential races, four of them have been decided in Wisconsin by under 25,000 votes. After Harris replaced Biden as the Democratic presidential candidate in August, her poll numbers really shot up, and she opened up a lead - but Trump has since recovered lost ground. I suspect that on election night, we'll be talking about one of these candidates winning by a very small margin.”

“I don't think anyone would ever say that Trump is the most polished speaker, but his more recent speeches do seem to be more incoherent, and he's rambling even more so and he's had some pretty noticeable moments of confusion. When he was running against Biden, maybe it didn't stand out as much.”

“On the sidelines of the [Ambrosetti] Forum in Italy, I met with a delegation of the US Congress. We talked, in particular, about the victory plan for Ukraine - about some of its details, and we will present all the steps to US President Biden and both presidential candidates, Trump and Harris, in full. Our main focus now, at the beginning of the fall, is to strengthen the positions of Ukraine and Ukrainians as much as possible, protect our cities and villages from Russian terror, and, of course, provide more capabilities for our warriors on the frontlines.”

“There's a chance North Korea could try to exploit the U.S. election to its advantage. If Kim Jong-un really wants Trump back in the White House, he might calculate that a well-timed provocation could weaken the Biden administration, making Trump's re-election more likely. From North Korea's perspective, Trump might offer a better chance to be recognized as a de facto nuclear state. He could be more open to a deal where North Korea declares a moratorium on certain activities in exchange for partial sanctions relief.”
