The vote of vote for Joe Biden according to the Ipsos poll is only 39%. fot. PixabayThe American half-election amazed commentators. Preliminary results propose that the dream of the eye of the democrats was incapable to materialize. Democrats have a chance to keep the Senate. The home of Representatives will most likely be under the control of a amazingly tiny Republican majority. Is current results a origin for satisfaction to Joe Biden? Will Trumpism lose meaning? What function will Florida's solar politician play in 2024?
Tuesday's ballots, in which American voters selected among others: the full home of Representatives, 35 Senators, respective twelve state authorities, over the past months have focused attention on Democratic and Republicans. The stakes of these elections were to control the Congress, which would aid the administration of president Biden or conviction her to a two-year-old clinic in the event of a Republican win. Voters may have treated these elections as a kind of referendum assessing Biden's presidency and inactive very politically active Donald Trump. Despite many differences, they have 1 thing in common: the highly low popularity of both presidents.
According to the polls, the favorites were Republicans. In their favour was the concern of voters of over 8% inflation. Fear among voters raised issues of illegal immigration and violent crime, in which Republicans have large assurance in the electorate. The Republicans were besides favored by the historical tendency to turn the voters in the half-election distant from the organization of the President-in-Office. On the side of his party, Trump became active in the campaign, promoting candidates preaching conspiracy theories about Biden's alleged usurpation of the office of President. Under the influence of the erstwhile president, many Republican primaries were won by extremist candidates, frequently defeating erstwhile congressmen and members of the organization establishment.
In addition to inflation, the Democrats had problems between progressive wingers who wanted strong social reforms and centrists seeking compromise with Republicans. The request to negociate many legislative initiatives of the Biden administration not only with a fewer Republican Senators needed to break the alleged filibuster, but besides with Democratic Senators Joe Manchin of West Virginia or Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona has been echoed. The ultimate Court ruling abolishing the Roe v. Wade precedent on the right to abortion gave hope of reducing defeat, but the polls just before the election indicated a cool interest in the subject among voters.
Under these circumstances, the results suggesting a very tiny Republican majority in the home of Representatives and the anticipation of the legislature being maintained by Democrats are a large surprise. president Biden can take a minute of relief, especially since respective compromising failures have been suffered by Trump-supported candidates. A good example of this is Dr. Mehmet Oz, who lost the fight for 1 of Pennsylvania's seats in the legislature with politician John Fetterman. The Republicans did not take their chances of a large win and pave the way for Trump's re-election. In fact, it seems that his commitment to the election campaign, coupled with the overthrow of Roe v. Wade, worked on young liberal voters like a bull pad.
In the long term, Trump's weakening might prove dangerous to democrats, as Florida has a fresh Republican star, controversial politician Ron DeSantis, who won re-election on Tuesday, attracting many Latin voters. This is simply a continuation of the trend initiated by Donald Trump in the 2020 presidential election. DeSantis is an ultra-conservative supporter of strong border control and education system. It is besides comparatively young, eloquent and powerfully promoted by Fox News station. His eventual triumph in rivalry with the erstwhile president will not, however, be the end of Trumpism, but his consolidation in the heart of Republican identity. This makes him a serious threat to the Democrats in the 2024 presidential election.
