It was the ‘Rust Belt’ vote that determined the fate of the United States. The candidate Joe Biden annulled the inferiority that appeared at the beginning of the phenomenon of the ‘Red Mirage’ and triumphed in successive battles in the main competitions of the region, and finally opened the door to the White House.
● A reverse drama completed in Pennsylvania.
The early red Mirage phenomenon in the ‘Rust Belt’ area was stronger than expected. Candidate Biden appears to have been pushed against President Donald Trump, who prevailed in early field votes in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan. President Trump’s victory in Florida was already confirmed. As southern ‘sunbelt’ regions, such as Georgia and North Carolina, as well as those in the north were painted red, anxiety among Democratic supporters was amplified: “Isn’t this really President Donald Trump? Trump re-elected? “
This trend began to change rapidly during the second counting day. Biden succeeded in reversing the states of Wisconsin and Michigan, as the pre-voting with a large number of voters participating in the Democratic Party was released one after another. In the case of Michigan, the gap in Michigan, which had widened by almost 20 percentage points, narrowed rapidly as it exceeded 50% of the count, and was dramatically reversed in the last minute when the results of the Detroit count were reflected. metropolitan.
The final blow was Pennsylvania. The state of Pennsylvania, which allowed mail-in ballots to be submitted up to three days after the presidential election date (sixth), was relatively slow to count. Shortly after the count began, candidate Biden prevailed, but the gap that widened to 12 percentage points in a reversal embarrassment situation did not narrow. The difference of 670,000 votes seemed difficult to recover for Biden. Signs of war began to appear when the count surpassed 75%. Biden’s votes rose rapidly and the chart began to climb upward, and the ‘Golden Cross’ was made when the count was almost finished. Big cities like Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, which have a strong propensity to support the Democratic Party, and mail-in votes are starting to show up in the tally. Finally, candidate Biden defeated President Trump (49.09%) with a vote of 49.64% to 98% of the vote count. Pennsylvania’s election law requires a recount to be taken if the gap between the two candidates is less than 0.5 percentage point, but it has widened the gap to the extent that it is not included in this regulation. The Associated Press confirmed Biden’s victory in Pennsylvania at 11:25 am on the 7th (local time), when the gap exceeded 0.5 percentage points, and declared him the 46th president. At that time there were about 62,000 papers left uncounted. According to the calculation, even if all this was reflected, the result could not be reversed again. Shortly afterwards, CNN Broadcasting, MSNBC Broadcasting, The New York Times, The Washington Post, etc., as well as Fox News, oriented in favor of Trump, confirmed his election by sending the news as breaking news.
● Focused on white workers
Rust Belt is a place where support from the Democratic Party was strong, centered on the auto industry union. But four years ago, President Trump focused on targeting white workers who had accumulated discontent alongside the decline of the manufacturing industry, all of which went to President Trump.
Biden’s Camp, which saw that reclaiming the region was the ‘key’ to victory in this presidential election, had a strategy. Biden emphasized that Scranton, Pennsylvania was his hometown, and during the elections, he focused on the ‘Belt of Rust’, including this one. While downplaying the campaign due to the new coronavirus infection (Corona 19), I repeatedly visited this area as ‘all inclusive’. For him, the white workers began to return one by one, and finally they gave him a war drama.
