The presidential primaries are quickly approaching, and both Republicans and Democrats are throwing their hats in the ring.

It’s already a crowded field of candidates all vying for the nation’s top job.

So, can anyone carve out a clear path to the White House?

Campaign season is ramping up as the U.S. Presidential field continues to expand especially on the GOP side. Former President Donald Trump was among the first to declare his candidacy for the Republican nomination.

Since then, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, former Vice President Mike Pence, former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley, U.S. Senator Tim Scott, and former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie are just some of the contenders who have declared their candidacies.

While the field continues to expand, President Trump remains the GOP front-runner and is dominating the polls among potential primary voters.

On the Democratic side—President Joe Biden announced his intent to run for re-election in April. He is already the oldest president in history—and would be 86-year-old at the end of a second term.

Many Democratic voters have indicated they would like to see a different candidate.

Author and spiritual adviser, Marianne Williamson was the first primary challenger for President Biden.

Then, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. a member of one of the most famous American political families announced he is running for president.

Australia’s social media ban leads to 4.7 million teen account closures, prompting debate over online safety and freedom.

Nearly five million social media accounts belonging to Australian teenagers have been closed since the nation’s social media ban began in December. Platforms such as Instagram and TikTok were responsible for removing around 4.7 million accounts held by minors, according to the eSafety Commissioner.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese described the figures as encouraging, highlighting the government’s commitment to protecting children online. The new law holds social media companies accountable, with fines imposed on platforms that fail to prevent underage accounts from being created or maintained.

Despite these measures, some teenagers have reportedly bypassed the restrictions by falsifying their ages or using parental information. The debate continues over the effectiveness of these regulations and the balance between safety and online freedom.

Greenland, Denmark assert Arctic island not for sale, emphasizing cooperation with the US on their own terms.

Greenland and Denmark have used high-level talks in Washington, D.C. to firmly restate that the Arctic island is not for sale, pushing back against long-standing US interest in the strategically vital territory.

Foreign ministers from both Greenland and Denmark acknowledged that major disagreements remain following discussions with US officials, despite what they described as constructive engagement on shared priorities.

Greenland’s government made clear it is open to closer cooperation with Washington, but only on its own terms, rejecting any suggestion of ownership or control.
