Politics and sports have become inseparable, especially at major international sports events.
Donald Trump whose government in 2018 spearheaded the ‘United’ bid of the US, Canada and Mexico for the 2026 World Cup hosting will be in power when the event kicks off.
It was a remote thought that Trump would occupy the White House in 2026 when the US spearheaded the World Cup bid.
His presidency, in worst-case scenario, was expected to end this year if he had secured a second term in 2020.
He lost the return which he has now reclaimed after the defeat of Kamala Harris.
As it has turned out, Trump triumphed in instances he contested against women.
First, it was Hillary Clinton in 2016 and now Kamala Harris in 2024. And so, the hope for the first American woman president is further delayed.
Trump will cap his presidency with the hosting of the Olympic Games in Los Angeles in 2028.
