Sanchez appeared to reference the 2024 US presidential election, stating, “President Biden, I do believe that the world needs a US president that is committed to fighting the good fight, like you do, and you can count on us, so let’s keep on doing this.”

  1. The world certainly does need more leaders like Joe Biden- a man who truly cares for the people and not just for himself like sooo many current politicians- Godspeed President Biden
