“Democracy is at stake!”. The US President’s cry of alarm Joe Biden, on the eve of the midterm elections on Tuesday, November 8, she is sending out a double signal: the democratic emergency following the traumatic end of the Trump presidency has not been overcome; and he and the Democrats feel the risk of defeat. With Congress in the hands of the opposition, the second half of his mandate would be an ordeal of mediation and concessions.
donald trump, on the other hand, he is moving towards announcing his candidacy for the USA 2024, despite the weight of the political and judicial investigations into his work; and plans traps for Biden and the Democrats: Republicans, for example, must limit government spending. The ex-president tycoon pilloried the faction leader in the Senate Mitch McConnellwho does not follow him on this path: “Under Impeachment”familiar with his loyalists, even if there is no procedure for doing so.
Republicans need little to take control of Congress: next Tuesday, all 435 MPs are elected – Democrats have 220 and Republicans have 212, with three vacancies – and 35 of the 100 Senators – They are even 50: The Democratic majority votes for the President of the Senate, who is the Vice President of the United States, Kamala Harris. They should also be renewed 39 governors, in 36 states and three territories; and there are numerous other state and local elections and some referendums.
Biden speaks to America on prime-time TV and says democracy is Under fire and that there is no place for political violence: the Union is “at a turning point”, the mid-term vote will “preserve or endanger democracy” and the security of the country. The President denounces the swarm of Republican candidates, about two hundred, who refuse to accept the result of the election and perpetuate it ‘Post-Truth’ 2020 President’s Trumpiana stolen; and who prepare appeals and disputes about alleged fraud, with the aim of sowing doubts among voters under the pretext of checking the regularity of electoral processes.

The President’s speech begins with the lies being peddled by far-right conspiracy theorists who have found a ruthless shoulder Elon Musk, which shows that he wants to turn Twitter into a conspiracy tool. The attack suffered last week at the home of Paul Pelosi, 82, husband of the Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosialso 82 years old, by a 42-year-old man, David De Papewas ridiculed by Steve Bannon, Trump’s 2016 campaign guru, and his alt-right allies over a gay jealousy affair.
DePape, who fractured Pelosi’s skull and other injuries and attempted to kidnap the speaker who was not at home, is charged with assault and attempted kidnapping and various other petty crimes.
The episode seems to be due to the climate of hatred and intolerance of US politics, which remains highly polarized. And the police ruled out that the attacker and the attacker knew each other. But that hasn’t stopped web conspiracy theorists from unleashing fanciful reconstructions and conjecture to smear Pelosi, which is the third largest US office after the president and vice president. And Musk made their allegations only to then “kill” his tweets.

Instead the Room she leans toward the Republicans, who need to snatch five seats from the Democrats and could do so to their advantage thanks to a redefinition of colleges in the states they govern.
With his speech, Biden tried to shock voters, especially Democrats. Republicans are doing the exact opposite: they’re quieting the game to reduce turnout, particularly from black and Hispanic minorities (mostly Democrats). For example, after the Supreme Court’s ruling stripping the federal government of its protections right to abortionGiven the ruling’s impact on public opinion, many Republican candidates have toned down their anti-abortion beliefs.

Biden has been tough on those who believe they won’t be going to the polls next week — but over a tenth of potential voters have already voted by absentee ballot or at “early voting” polling stations —: “We can’t keep democracy any longer than guaranteed.” consider … The future of the country is at stake … “. There is a possibility that the refusal to recognize the results of the polls will lead to episodes of violence: There are Republicans like Arizona nominee Kari Lake who are willing to accept just one win.
The President’s appeal comes at a time when Democrats’ resolve is falling short poll is significantly lower than in 2018, when the 44% of registered Democratic voters wanted to go to the polls to “chastise” Trump. Now just the 24% he wants to do it to “support” Biden. There is more enthusiasm among Republicans, especially among those who identify with the “Trumpian” candidates who have won the Republicans in large numbers primary: The possibility of winning a majority in the House of Representatives and the hope of making it in the Senate, where the game is more uncertain, drives her.
The expectation of the voting result influences the voting climate supreme court, which must decide whether the universities of the Union can continue to take race into account as an admission criterion: namely, what are being considered are the so-called “affirmative actions”, which tend to favor access to universities for members of minorities, particularly blacks and Latino . If the Supreme Court should let them down, how illegal, the number of black and Hispanic students in universities will decrease. The case brings back the issue of rights in the campaign raised by the Supreme Court ruling earlier this summer that overturned federal protections for abortion.
supporters of “confirmative action”, which has been in existence for 60 years and has passed Supreme Court scrutiny in the past, argue that the programs have given disadvantaged people and women access to higher education that they would otherwise have been denied. But those attending the first hearing on Monday, October 31 – five hours to present the various positions – got the impression that the current court, heavily conservative, is skeptical about the validity of affirmative action and inclined to be to block or restrict them. . Several judges have compared them discriminatory practices of the past, such as segregation and slavery.
In a country looking for new faces for the 2024 presidential election, President Joe Biden and his predecessor Donald Trump have had a limited role in the campaign. Biden is feeling the weight of age – frequent slips are a clue -; Trump is not much younger for him and is in check for disputes over the riot he instigated on January 6, 2021, classified documents stolen from the White House, campaign events in Georgia, and fiscal and financial events in New York. After helping many of his supporters win the Republican primary, the tycoon has had less of a presence (partly because some candidates find his endorsement awkward).
Barack Obama, whose support is always coveted by Democratic candidates, will be with Biden on Saturday the 5th in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, one of the likely key states. Rally featuring Obama and Biden will endorse candidates for Governor Josh Shapiro and Senate John Fetterman. Obama took the field days ago in Georgia – another key state – to urge citizens to go to the polls and defend Biden’s policies, whose decisions, particularly on the economic front, are failing to convince voters.
And in the final phase, the Clintons also enter the field: Hillary advertises with them Kamala Harris, for outgoing New York State Governor Kathy Hochul, who surprisingly fought a “Trumpian” rival, Lee Zeldin, in recent polls; Bill, on the other hand, spends what little prestige he has on two candidates for the Hudson Valley House in upstate New York, Josh Riley and Pat Ryan.
