become the prime minister, he served as former foreign minister under prime minister shinzo abe and he s a moderate liberal known as a consensus builder. he campaigned on spending billions to halep the japanese economy recover from the pandemic. he s also campaigned on narrowing the income gap. he s really seen, isa, as an establishment choice, to a large degree more of the same and status quo. and compare that to taro kono. he was the public s favorite known as a political maverick who wasn t afraid to speak his mind and tear down bureaucratic barriers to get things done. he is extremely on social media. known to directly converse with the public on twitter where he has more than 2 million followers. ultimately, analysts said that kono s reputation as this outspoken maverick was too much of a risk, and the conservative party elders, party elites preferred the stable and safe choice of kishida. now, when he assumes prime ministership, he s going to have

kavanaugh. we expect to see the president and as well, judge, and circuit court of appeals, often called the farm team for the supreme court. there are a lot of people that thought maybe this was too much of an establishment choice, maybe he should have gone with a b tony barrett but the intelligence that i ve been getting it is that amy coney barrett may have been a difficultou confirmation this year. if another justice s shuts down, they would likely be the next choice. we are only ten seconds away, the president of the united states making his big announcement. ap reporting and fact that it is a judge kavanaugh, which have been rumored most of last week. again, i would confirm. there is the president now headed to p the podium and whats history in the making, this now
