Trump and Biden Clash as America Faces Unprecedented Election Challenges

The upcoming US election between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump highlights America's societal division, economic challenges, and the far-right Project 2025. Discover the implications of this pivotal election.

As the term of the US President's rule approaches its end, the upcoming election has garnered significant attention both domestically and internationally. A recent debate organized by CNN between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump attracted over fifty-one million viewers, highlighting the global interest in this electoral season. However, this number is significantly lower than the eighty million viewers who watched the first debate between the two during the 2020 elections.

The United States is currently experiencing a societal division and national debt crisis that has expanded daily. This division is exacerbated by the presence of two elderly candidates—Biden at 81 and Trump at 78—who have been unable to address the future and its issues adequately. This situation raises questions about America's ability to maintain its role as a global superpower.

Economic challenges also loom large as inflation persists, and the gap between the rich and the poor widens. The national debt has now exceeded $34 trillion, with significant portions held by foreign countries such as Japan, China, and the United Kingdom. This economic reality has deepened the gap between the rich and the poor, affecting the electoral process and the ability of any future president to meet the needs of millions of citizens living in poverty.

Politically, the United States faces a significant challenge due to the absence of common ground between the Democratic and Republican parties. The 2020 election saw Trump receiving 74 million votes, representing 47% of the total voters, many of whom believe the election was not fair. This belief has led to a growing hostility towards federal institutions, further complicating the upcoming elections.

The 2025 Project, an initiative by conservative right-wing organizations, aims to transform America into a more conservative and extremist nation. This project includes a detailed plan to be implemented during the first 180 days of a potential Trump administration, with a focus on changing the structure of state institutions.

The implications of either candidate winning the presidency are significant. A Trump victory could lead to the implementation of the far-right Project 2025 plan, potentially dismantling the federal government. On the other hand, a Biden victory could result in political conflict with conservatives who may use the judicial system to obstruct his projects.

The Middle East also faces a security dilemma, as the United States' focus shifts towards China. The US defense budget reflects this priority, with a significant portion allocated to countering China. This shift necessitates that Middle Eastern countries diversify their strategic alliances, as relying on Washington for security may prove futile in the coming years.

  • Patty Harnish, a Pennsylvania store clerk, hasn't voted in 28 years but now plans to vote for Trump. This sentiment reflects a broader trend among Trump's supporters, who view him as a resilient hero. Despite the technical tie in polls between Biden and Trump, the recent attack on Trump has galvanized his base and could influence independent voters.
  • Trump's campaign has taken a more aggressive stance, with some supporters blaming Democrats for the attack. This has exacerbated partisan tensions, making the presidential race even more divisive. Political experts are divided on the impact of the attack, with some believing it will deepen existing divisions, while others hope it will unify the American people.
  • The attack on Trump has the potential to shift the dynamics of the election. While those who oppose Trump are unlikely to change their stance, the image of Trump as a fighter who overcomes adversity could resonate with independent voters and those who typically do not vote. This narrative could be crucial in capturing the support of undecided voters in the upcoming election.
