Constant ups and downs for the former president: before a “march” on Super Tuesday, he achieved legal success after a series of defeats. About the situation in the US election campaign and in the courts.
The first confrontation of the US election campaign between Joe Biden and Donald Trump will take place on Thursday on the Rio Grande, a long-distance duel on the Mexican border, a few hundred kilometers away. The president appears in Brownsville, his predecessor and opponent in Eagle Pass – two of the hotspots where immigrants are crossing the US border en masse and the migration problem is becoming very clear. 2.5 million refugees crossed the border illegally last year.
Biden arrives from Washington updated with a health certificate. The annual check confirms he is fit for the top job, something many Republicans have questioned recently, albeit with the usual signs of age. For Biden, these include stiff gait, sleep apnea and reflux. Biden's approval rating recently fell to 38%, even though the US economy is doing well. Biden's Middle East policy is causing discontent among Democrats.
Trump, on the other hand, not only won a stunning victory over his rival Nikki Haley in the recent Michigan primary election, but also achieved legal success in the Supreme Court after a series of court setbacks.
