Although more difficult and slower than expected, Joe Biden is on the verge of winning the 2020 US presidential election.
Attendees originally expected him to give a confident victory speech Wednesday night, but Biden didn’t, because at the time, his advantage was still not obvious enough to get picked, so he simply told. his supporters. , You will get the final victory.
His caution was justified at that time, because until Wednesday night, judging by public opinion reflected in the votes that have been counted, Biden did not achieve the overwhelming victory that was initially expected, and in several keys and in a consistent manner. states that voted for the Democratic Party, Biden lost to his opponent.
His opponent, Donald Trump, has always maintained a high profile, as has the emotion he has always displayed over the past four years. He couldn’t wait to announce that he had won at 4 pm Wednesday, then accused his opponent of “stealing his votes” and then promised his followers that he would use judicial means to prevent uncounted votes from being counted. Most of the mailed ballots that are counted last according to the regulations support Biden.
This makes this choice difficult to describe, and no positive or negative evaluation can present its complexity or even its absurdity. When Biden already had 264 electoral votes on Thursday and needed only six more, like winning Nevada to be elected as the next president of the United States, Trump and his supporters were eager to continue. Stop the continuation of the vote count more drastically. Trump posted conclusive information accusing his opponent of cheating on Twitter, and this false information was quickly removed by Twitter.
It is a bit absurd that the elderly candidate who was mocked as “Sleeping Joe” won so many votes in the election. The incumbent president seeking reelection, assuming incumbent advantages, appears to be intimidated by his opponents, yelling that he has “stolen” the votes, which is a bit of fun.
Candidates from both parties are making history: Biden won the most popular votes in history and Trump became the first candidate to stop counting votes ahead of time.
If this choice is a drama, then there must be a sequel to this drama. After Biden won the election, the challenge he has to face will really begin.
Even if Biden paved the way to the White House with the most votes in history, he may not be able to walk easily and smoothly, because Trump has long promised his supporters that he will take legal action to stop counting. votes, and it’s true. Made.
Trump not only assumed that he was the winner, but also preemptively ruled Biden’s election invalid and illegal.
Although Biden has also vigorously responded that if Trump provokes election-related court disputes, the Democratic Party will be with him to the end, but this will surely be a protracted battle. Trump is not Gore, and he is not 2000.
People still remember the result of the 2000 elections that was “decided” by the Supreme Court. One poignant image was that Gore accepted the Supreme Court’s decision not to recount the vote and stepped forward to persuade supporters to agree that this was not for him. It is not a fair result. At the time, Gore received 300,000 more popular votes than Bush Jr. In 2016, Hillary Clinton’s popular vote was 3 million more votes than Trump’s, yet the Democratic candidates lost in both elections. At the same time, it sparked a long-term controversy.
In this election, both the popular vote and Biden’s electoral vote have beaten Trump. This “not bad” result not only reflects the legitimacy of Biden’s election, but it also gives Trump an excuse to cause disputes. Although 4 years ago, Trump was actually a beneficiary of misplaced election results caused by the “electoral system.”
Trump has maintained his usual toughness in the election, reflected in his more votes than expected in Florida and Ohio, and in victories in other swing states. There are reasons to believe that their resistance will continue after the election, such as using electoral legal disputes to fight Biden. Now three of the nine justices of the Supreme Court of the United States are nominated by Trump. Judge Wright did not promise not to participate in the trial of the Trump-related election lawsuits.
Biden must expend a lot of energy to deal with these problems that are as hard to shake as the cockle sticks to his pants.
Trump is not alone in his troubles. At the same time as the presidential elections, there are also elections to Congress. All 435 seats in the House of Representatives must be re-elected. Democrats continue to maintain their lead in the House of Representatives, but this lead has been significantly reduced.
In the 100-seat Senate, a third of the seats must be reelected. Before the election, Republicans had 53 seats. Democrats could control the Senate by adding three to four seats. However, as the Maine Collins Senate successfully repelled the challenge from Democrats, the plan was already bankrupt. .
Democratic President Biden has to face a Senate that is still controlled by Republicans. This is Biden’s real and most serious problem.
The House of Representatives and the House of Representatives are controlled by the two parties, which means that no matter if it is Biden’s election or Trump’s re-election, it is impossible to be a “nice president” and easily implement your own policies.
The consequence is that financial assistance programs for troubled families and businesses will continue to be difficult to meet. Biden’s long-term plans, including expanding health insurance, “greening” America’s infrastructure and taxing the wealthy, can also be difficult to meet.
But Wall Street may be the winner of the future stagnation. The stock market is biased towards “stability.” If the two sides are stagnant, some important policies that can cause market turmoil cannot be implemented. (Chinese network of fortune)
