“These are the elections in which the largest number of Americans voted as an absolute number. Polarization is not just polarization, but the language of two groups. There are two Americas. There is no American president elected with as many votes as Joe Biden. But the division remains where you live, what color is your skin. “
This was commented to BNR by Ivan Krastev, director of the Center for Liberal Strategies and researcher at the Vienna Institute of Humanities and Social Sciences.
According to him, the division may become institutional:
“It’s not until January that we know who controls the Senate. If the Republicans retain control of the Senate, the big question is how Biden will work with them … But many Republican senators weren’t happy with the way Donald Trump is addressing. They were after him because they feared that he would kill them by tweeting … The big question is what will Trump himself do in the coming months, one of the things is to point out what he will do in the next four years. Himself as leader of the resistance against Biden and the Democrats, who will make three or four major domestic and foreign policy decisions to make it very difficult for Biden to change his position on these issues, one of which is the possibility of aggressive trade action against China or more pressure on Iran. “.
On the “Politically Incorrect” show, Krastev added:
“We need to see how the relationship between Trump and FOX News develops.”
Ivan Krastev pointed out that this election was a referendum on Trump:
“The people who voted for him voted for him, but those who voted for the other candidate voted against him.”
The analyst emphasized that Biden’s victory did not depend on a vote in one state, in this case Pennsylvania:
“Most likely, there is no Supreme Court ruling … The idea that all Trump-appointed justices will automatically vote for him is not true. One case could go to the Supreme Court and that is Pennsylvania … Donald “Trump is known for not losing easily and wonderfully.”
Biden’s election does not mean that the world has returned to the pre-Trump era, Ivan Krastev was adamant.
