After “Super Tuesday” on March 5, the US presidential election is set. Former President Trump has won victories everywhere except Washington, D.C. and Vermont since the Iowa party convention in January. The only remaining contender in the party, former Ambassador to the United Nations Haley, announced his resignation on the 6th. In the Democratic primary, with no competitors, Biden, who challenged for re-election, won with an overwhelming vote rate of more than 80% in most areas. In November, American voters will once again choose between Trump or Biden.
Judging from the polls, most Americans do not want this to be a showdown between the two old gentlemen, Trump and Biden. 65% do not want Biden to be re-elected, even more than they do not want Trump to run. 60%; whether it is national polls or six key swing states, Trump still seems to have a greater chance of winning than Biden.
Biden is an 82-year-old man. He has said the wrong thing almost every day since he took office for more than three years. He once referred to Trump as the current president, Xi Jinping as Deng Xiaoping, and South Korean President Yun Xiyue as his predecessor, Moon Jae-in. A reminder must be written on the cue card; although Trump is only four years younger than Biden, he does not give people the feeling of a “drowsy old man.”
Trump’s problem is that voters think he is cunning, has a fickle personality, and is often irritable and unstable. As long as any leader does not conform to his wishes, he will be replaced. Defense Secretary Esper and National Security Advisor Bolton during Trump’s tenure have both written books criticizing him for being unfit to serve as president. The biggest problem is that there are four major cases against Trump, with as many as 91 charges. The financial burden caused by losing the case will be very serious; if the loan fraud case of Trump’s company is established, there will be more than 400 million US dollars. The fines and legal fees for various other lawsuits have reached 55 million US dollars, and tens of millions of dollars will be needed in the future. Even if the lawsuit does not pose an obstacle, I am afraid that Trump will be in financial crisis if he is elected.
The variables for the future are, firstly, whether the economy this year can really make voters feel. Although the overall economic figures are bright, the average person still feels the pressure of inflation; secondly, illegal immigrants at the border, especially the Democratic local state governments and the federal government are too loose. People are worried that social welfare and public security will be affected, and voters seem to think Trump will do a better job in these two areas.
After Super Tuesday, Trump delivered a speech at Mar-a-Lago in Florida, calling Biden “the worst president in the history of our country” and comparing the policies of the two, claiming that the United States under his leadership is better, ” If we lose the election, we will cease to exist as a country.” Biden was not to be outdone. In his annual State of the Union address to Congress on the 7th, Biden was fierce in his offensive and clear in speech. He was even able to respond impromptuly to the refutations of Republican lawmakers on the spot, showing that he is not sluggish despite his age. Biden swayed left and right, refuting “my predecessor” and the Republican Party, and directly appealed to voters to vote wisely for American democracy.
But Biden’s problems are not only age and economics, but also foreign policy. Although Biden has been careful not to send troops to participate in the two ongoing international wars, American voters have less and less support for aid to Ukraine; the most deadly one is the Gaza war. Young voters in the Democratic Party are against the Biden administration’s preference for Israel. dissatisfied with the policy.
The United States is a global hegemon, and the president’s decisions affect every country in the world. If Biden’s physical and mental conditions deteriorate in the next four years, it will be a matter of concern whether the decisions he makes are wise and how to set up safety buffers; and if it is really halfway through Change people, and the world has to adapt again. But Trump’s possible victory has made the world even more worried. From Europe to Asia, everyone is preparing for Trump’s possible second term. No one believes that the Biden administration’s current commitments will continue to be effective when Trump takes office next year, and Russia’s Putin and Israel’s Netanyahu is holding on, waiting for his friend Trump to come to power.
The U.S. presidential election four years ago and the subsequent congressional siege and riots did not teach the United States a lesson. Everyone is worried that the United States is heading in the wrong direction and cannot correct itself by relying solely on democratic mechanisms. We know clearly that of the two candidates, one is too old and the other is too crazy, but they cannot prevent the nightmare from reappearing again, it is still Trump versus Biden.
