View largerOn February 3 (local time), the Iowa Caucus, the first Democratic Party presidential candidate, was held and the US presidential race, which began in earnest, ended the 10-month campaign. President Donald Trump and Democratic Party presidential candidate Joe Biden are assessed to have fought a fierce “blood battle” that is hard to find in American history. Large-scale issues that could affect voters’ votes, such as △ new coronavirus infection (Corona 19) △ racism △ electoral objection preview △ Federal Supreme Court judge nomination △ family corruption also emerged one after another. Jeong-Geon Seo, professor of political science and diplomacy at Kyung Hee University, diagnosed: “This presidential election has inevitably caused a lot of controversy due to the polarization of political ideology in American society and President Trump, whose political style is significantly different from existing presidents.
America’s presidential war began to fluctuate even before June, when Biden was decided as the Democratic presidential candidate. As the number of corona19 patients in the United States increased since March, the ‘Trump trend’ began to shake. Racial discrimination triggered by the death of an unarmed black man, George Floyd, in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on the neck of a white police officer in Minnesota in May, shook American society, making it another bad news for President Trump.
The fierce battle between the two candidates began in August. On August 11, approximately two weeks before the convention (August 24-27), at which President Trump was nominated as the official Republican presidential nominee, Biden was the first non-white woman in American history, the Senator Camela Harris. Nominated for vice president candidate. It was a strategy aimed at highlighting the problem of racial discrimination and pointing out the lack of diversity in the senior workforce, which has been seen as a chronic weakness of the Trump administration.
Immediately after being nominated for the Republican presidential nomination, President Trump emphasized the ‘American priority’ and said: “If I cannot be re-elected, the United States will take a terrible direction and its ‘American dream’ will disappear.” “The Democratic Party is trying to steal the elections using Corona 19.” The only way Democrats can win elections is through rigged elections. ” Since then, President Trump has made a strong “ no election ” suggestion to mobilize conservatives. On Sept. 23, President Trump raised issues related to the timing and accuracy of the vote-by-mail ballot count, saying that the victory or defeat of the presidential election “will ultimately be decided by the Supreme Court,” which it implies that, in fact, if the result is unfavorable for him, he may not accept it. And three days later, Amy Barrett, Judge of the Seventh Federal Supreme Court, who showed a clear conservative tendency, such as “anti-abortion”, is appointed as the Federal Supreme Court. Inside and outside the White House, it was evaluated as “an attempt to mobilize conservative voters and create a Supreme Court structure (6 conservatives, 3 liberals) in their favor.” Amid President Trump’s aggressive move, the gap in approval ratings from late June to early July (based on the dominance of Biden, election information company Real Clearpolitics, and RCP) was on September 29, just before of the first television debate in the presidential elections. Biden’s candidate was 49.4% and President Trump was 43.3%, down 6.1 percentage points.
However, after frequent interruptions and negative criticism from President Trump in television debates, on October 2, when he was confirmed for Corona 19, the gap in the approval rating widened again. In particular, the controversy grew when President Trump, who was in hospital treatment on October 5, left in a car while greeting his supporters. Since then, President Trump has quickly closed the gap through negative campaigns and extensive field campaigns to highlight the problem of Biden’s “ son corruption. ” In particular, President Trump published an email on October 14 saying that the New York Post, a conservative news outlet, introduced Biden’s son, Hunter, 50, to his father, an executive from ‘ Burisma Holdings’, a Ukrainian natural gas company it served in 2015. Let’s focus on this. President Trump urged every opportunity to “disclose all relevant Biden records.”
