REDWHITEBLUE24 replied to debateroom's topic in General Olympics Discussion
Biden would only comment on 2021 if either Japanese government or the IOC want to pull the plug and think getting Biden to oppose it will achieve that. It won't be him opposing it while both of the above are determined to carry on. -
