In November 2024, Americans will vote, deciding whether Joe Biden remains in the White House or Donald Trump reclaims the position. The United States' election fervor is escalating on a daily basis.

The latest nationwide poll conducted by NBC News indicates that if an election happened now, former President Donald Trump would best current President Joe Biden by 5 percent among registered voters (47-42 percent) in a hypothetical general election.

Recently, Trump has been seen by former UFC middleweight champion Sean Strickland. A video of the encounter between Trump and the professional athlete soon surfaced on social media.

It's important to note that Strickland has previously courted controversy with comments about the war in Ukraine.

"Ukraine should submit and become Russia. Do you really aspire to transform into the next Afghanistan for 30 years? I won't condone it, but sometimes, what's difficult to accept may work out for the best", Strickland, the American, tweeted.

Jan Błachowicz, a fellow athlete, offered a quick response to Strickland's divisive comments, retorting with a sharp reprimand.

"It's easy to relinquish someone else's sovereignty. The history of Eastern Europe brims with struggle and tribulation. Ukraine, as a nation and country, has withstood an abundance. Their resistance is understandable and commendable. Freedom," Błachowicz retaliated.
