Since mid-summer, Donald Trump, representing the Republican Party, leads his main rival Joe Biden by 7%, according to polls. However, in the end, Kamala Harris entered the scene, bringing new accents to the fight for votes.
The BILD publication analyzes the current balance of power and the candidates’ chances of victory.
Currently, polls show Trump remains the leader in key states, including Arizona, North Carolina and Pennsylvania. In Georgia and Wisconsin there is a tie between Trump and Harris, while in Michigan the Democratic representative still has an advantage.
Reuters analysts indicate that Kamala Harris may win more popular votes nationwide, but this will not necessarily lead to victory. In the American electoral system, the 538 electoral votes of the 50 states are key. Let’s remember 2016: even though three million more people voted for Hillary Clinton than for Trump, she lost because she didn’t get enough voters.
In recent weeks, Harris has sought to distance herself from current President Joe Biden, insisting that she is “not an extension of him.” He has not appeared in public with Biden for several weeks, but he maintains similar rhetoric, accusing Trump of dangerous policies that he believes pose a threat not only to the United States, but to the world as a whole.
Trump, for his part, is focusing on illegal immigration issues, promising mass deportations and even considering eliminating the income tax to attract more supporters.
“It will not be easy for him to refute Harris’ accusations, as his supporters expect him to take a firm position and a tough approach,” political scientist Thomas Jaeger commented on the situation.
