Research in swing states in the USA shows that the results of the presidential elections are in the range of 2% difference. Now we are witnessing a heated campaign, Harris and Trump breathing down each other's necks and chasing each other's heels. This stated the “Offensive” with Lubo Ognyanov, the vice-president of the Atlantic Club and former ambassador of Bulgaria to the United States, Elena Poptodorova.
„At the moment, the fight is for the critical voters, with each of the two hoping that they can snatch a vote from the top. These are young African-American males who are of active age - they should not have direct complaints. The US economy stabilized, unemployment fell, there was no recession. However, there is a general anxiety about who would suggest what. Trump and Harris are in a final battle for every vote," she said.
According to her, it is very important for Europe what the response will be from the results of the presidential vote. “Bright and sharp phrases are used a lot in election campaign rhetoric so they can be easily remembered by voters. Trump has said that he wants to deport 1.3 million people without considering what it will cost America, this number is written in his manifesto Agenda 47. He is also planning a purge in the administration and services, and the reason is untrustworthiness. What does it mean to the world for one or the other to win - these are very different manifestations of governance. The question is whether there will be an attempt at centralization or decision-making forms, Trump is trying to imitate Reagan, Poptodorova believes.
In her words, the BRICS summit did not lead to the members' explicit solidarity with Russia regarding the war in Ukraine.
