Now there are two months until the US presidential elections. Can you give a brief description of the situation in the country?
Although at this point it appears that Joe Biden has an advantage in opinion polls, there is nothing to say that this will not be an extremely even election. Remember that in American politics, which is generally called “October surprise” (the election will take place in November, editor’s note) that dramatic things happen in the tumult of the electoral movement reversing the conditions. Given how it has been here in the United States since Donald Trump came to power, it is not entirely impossible that we will have entirely new problems that will have great explosive power, says Stefan Åsberg.
Expresses concern about the security situation:
– It takes very little right now for something big to happen here in the United States and we will continue to see serious events until the election, I think because it is incredibly tense in the country. Therefore, the issue of law and order will have an important meaning in this election.
Elections in the United States are often described as “fateful elections.” How important are these elections?
– This time, both parties talk about it being the most important election in history. The fact that there are so many different realities that the two parties see and different futures that they want to build reinforces that thesis. Donald Trump describes it as a vote for Joe Biden is a vote for a socialist government. Joe Biden believes that Donald Trump risks destroying this nation for more or less the entire future. There are two extremes that are opposed to each other, says Stefan Åsberg.
What will be the biggest challenge for you as you watch this presidential election?
– It is about highlighting the struggle of both sides to win these elections. Donald Trump is an unconventional president who makes quick decisions. To then be able to reflect how the public responds to various issues is very difficult, especially when there is so much suspicion among the political fields, he says and continues:
– Also, the corona pandemic does it for us, as it is more difficult to reach regular voters.
