"Follow" me, more exciting sneak peeks
United States politics is making waves again! Biden's sudden withdrawal not only created the first in the history of United States, but also put the situation in the 2024 presidential election into a confusing situation. I thought that Trump might win, but who expected that the latest poll results gave everyone a resounding slap in the face.
The new Democratic candidate, Harris, has two percentage points more support than Trump! This is reminiscent of Trump's last failed re-election. What exactly causes such an outcome? Can Harris really defeat Trump and become the first female president in United States history? Let's demystify this political game.
When it comes to United States politics, one might think of the suit-clad politicians in Washington, D.C., who are arguing on Capitol Hill. But in reality, the United States election is a naked money game. Don't look at the impassioned candidates on stage, there is no money off the stage, nothing is nothing.
Biden's withdrawal from the election this time, ostensibly because of physical reasons, is actually all about money. His campaign committee had planned to raise $50 million this month, but only half of it was received. How is that enough? Choosing a United States president is not choosing a village head, how can you do it without real money?
But what is interesting is that as soon as Biden announced his withdrawal from the election, the Democratic Party's account immediately received 70 million. This is interesting, it seems that the bigwigs are really not optimistic about Biden. Who do you say these big guys are? That's a lot more, from Wall Street financial predators to Silicon Valley tech giants, to Hollywood entertainment moguls, all of them could be the backroom financiers.
Speaking of which, I have to mention Musk. The Twitter boss has brought many Silicon Valley bigwigs to the Republican camp. You know, it's an old tradition in Silicon Valley to support the Democratic Party. But don't think that everyone can "jump ship" at will, people like Zuckerberg probably don't dare to stand in line easily.
It doesn't really matter who is the president of these bigwigs, they care more about the power in their own hands. United States does not engage in the separation of powers, and the president is better to be his own person, but even if it is not, as long as the other two power organs are controlled, they can still do whatever they want.
But now the Democratic Party is a bit hanging, and the justices are basically Republicans, and they are for life. This is good, if the Democratic Party loses the presidency again, it will really be thrown into the cold.
It was at this critical juncture that Harris emerged and took the lead in the polls in one fell swoop. Speaking of which, the female vice president is really an interesting character. She is neither as old as Biden nor controversial as Trump. To many voters, Harris is like a blank slate on which you can imagine any possibility.
But let's not forget that United States elections are not a game. Just because you're leading in the polls doesn't mean you'll have the last laugh. We have to weigh carefully whether Harris's "blank paper" can withstand the scrutiny of voters.
At the end of the day, Harris's approval rating is high right now, in large part because people don't know much about her. It's like the first time you go on a blind date, and the other person looks pleasing to the eye, and you will definitely make a good impression. But after digging deeper, you may find that this person still has such and such problems. Harris is in a similar situation, and it may be very different when voters really understand her claims.
Let's talk about Trump. Although the former president is now behind in the polls, let's not forget that he has a group of die-hard fans. Those old white men, traditionalists, and religious elements are all his solid backing. And these people are much more active than the younger voters of the Democratic Party, and they are definitely going out on polling day.
Recalling that Trump lost the election in 2020, the main reason was that the new crown epidemic caused him to be anxious and lost the support of the working community. But what about now? The pandemic is long gone, and the Biden administration is not doing very well. Especially in terms of immigration policy, Biden has offended many people.
epilogue
The 2024 United States election can be described as a battle of dragons. Harris is leading for the time being, but it will take time to see if he can maintain his advantage. Although Trump is temporarily behind, his fundamentals remain solid. The outcome of this election is likely to depend on the wavering middle voters.
In any case, this election is bound to be an important turning point in United States political history. As bystanders, we need to be both attentive and rational. After all, the outcome of the United States election will not only concern the United States itself, but will also have a profound impact on the global landscape. Let's wait and see how this political drama ends.
