The 2020 elections did not go according to the Democrats' plan, because they were not affected much by the severe denial with which US President Donald Trump continued to rant, as opinion polls expected a sharp and rapid breakdown of Trump, and the liberals ’hopes were pinned to a terrible defeat, after all this anger and tension from this president, Trump's term looks set to end the way it began: an election again teetering on the edge of a knife, and a nation crammed into a dead end, torn between two facts.

Contempt for the rule of law

Even if Trump loses, he has managed to scorn the rule of law for four years. He went on to amass millions of votes this time more than before, and the Republicans in Congress, who enabled him to reach the White House, made unexpected gains.

It seems likely that the Republican Party will maintain the majority in the Senate and compete for the Democratic majority in the House of Representatives, defying the polls and its inability to raise funds.

And the Republicans clung to states like Florida, South Carolina, Ohio and Iowa that the Democrats had hoped to win.

Republicans cut margins from Democrats on non-white voters, made gains in polarizing the vote of Latinos in South Florida and the Rio Grande Valley, and achieved a massive turnout of uneducated whites at college, while halting what many conservatives feared was a relentless slump in the suburbs.

Record turnout

Amid record turnout, Democratic candidate Joe Biden seemed sure he would win the popular vote, perhaps with an absolute majority, but many Democrats were expecting more popular votes, as they continued to believe that voters were tense with Trump and his party, and that his mishandling of the pandemic and divisive approach had occurred. It has alienated a wide range of voters from him, that a new political era is about to be born, and Trumpism is moving rapidly into the dustbin of history, but they have woken up to a different reality.

"The Democrats have always argued that if more people vote, we will win," says Republican strategist Brad Todd, co-author of The Great Revolution ... Within the Popular Coalition. "Well, guess what?"

Everyone voted, but that did not help the Democrats, there is a multiethnic working class spirit that stimulates the new Republican alliance. ”

With the counting of votes the next day, Biden encouraged the American people to continue the basic practice of democracy, while the President tried to stop it, and while Biden urged his camp to be patient, Trump expressed unfounded suspicions about the fraud and cast undue suspicion over votes that did not Come after.

Despite widespread fears of anarchy, the vote was often conducted peacefully and free of major violations.

Trump's unfounded declaration of victory was another sign that the danger that this president continued to pose to American institutions was far from over.

If Biden wins this election, his achievement of ousting a president who manipulated the government's capabilities in an attempt to gain weight in this competition should not be ignored. He adopted the suppression of voters as a basic strategy for his campaign, and with the continued counting of votes, Biden's campaign gained confidence and proved that it will soon win But even if Biden becomes the next president, he appears to be ruling America under the shadow of Trump: a nation unconvinced by black calls for unity and compassion, bent instead on moving further into mutual hostility.

Whether he wins or loses the race, Trump has always represented a radical shift in the American political landscape, which raises a level of anger, resentment and suspicion that will not be easy for his successor to overcome.

Set of challenges

Whoever will be sworn in on January 20 will face a historic set of challenges. The Covid-19 pandemic has just entered its worst stage, as it is spreading across the country almost unchecked, and the economic repercussions of the virus continue to worsen without new federal aid, and Trump has only provided Few hints about what the coming months might hold in office, but very few analysts expect it to be smooth sailing.

A host of pressing political problems, from climate change to healthcare and the country's dilapidated infrastructure, could hit the wall of divided government.

"If Biden actually wins, we still have a fundamental issue ahead of us, which is that the frankly fanatical tyrannical Trump has acquired the full loyalty of one of the two major political parties, and he may have been re-elected," said co-founder of the non-partisan legal group, Ian Basin.

And he goes on, "If this does not reflect to us that there is something completely corrupt in the foundations of our democracy, I do not know what this thing is."

Troubles on the road

Let's guess what comes next ... There are two and a half months during which Trump will remain in power until the next inauguration.

A weak president with the largest stage in the world, so much vanity, and the millions of supporters who absorbed his rhetoric about "rigging" elections, could stir up a lot of trouble on his way out of town.

Many problems, including the possibility of an outbreak of violence, depend on Trump's speech in the coming days and weeks.

Then there is the question of whether he can tap the federal treasury on his way out. Millions of government funds have been appropriated by his companies and family during his time in office, and he may seek amnesty for himself and his allies.

"He may have been motivated by the abuse of executive authority, and I hope and pray to God that he will curb him around him, although they have not succeeded much so far," said former Pennsylvania Republican Governor Tom Ridge, who supported Biden.

"I never felt that this president truly respected the constitution, the rule of law, and the freedoms embodied in our democratic process," he added.

If Biden takes office, he will face a host of challenges, like the few presidents before him.

He has put in place a comprehensive and costly federal plan to combat the "Covid-19" pandemic, which includes strengthening the wearing of masks, ramping up testing and production of protective equipment, improving information transparency, scientific re-exploration, and creating and distributing a vaccine.

Democrats have previously proposed allocating trillions of dollars to help individuals, companies and local governments, support the healthcare system, and represent only the needs that will arise in the coming months.

Coronavirus isn't the only problem Biden and Democrats have promised to solve, and as a former chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Biden will likely devote great attention to restoring America's traditional trade and security alliances.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi recently said that the Congressional agenda for 2021 will include a bill for the head of infrastructure and expansion of healthcare, and that the Liberals will push forward with swift action on police reform, climate and immigration.

Whatever the end result, the elections exposed the shaky edifice of American democracy, from outdated governing institutions that increasingly reward minority rule, to severely wounded standards surrounding the independence of justice, to flimsy protection for supposed universal suffrage, to the country's deteriorating electoral infrastructure and underfunding the country.

The Trump presidency has exposed weaknesses in the American system, and initiatives to reform campaign finance, government ethics, and voting rights all seem to fail in a divided Washington.

A round of accusations

A round of harsh accusations among the Democrats themselves seemed inevitable, as they assumed that their coalition of minorities, college-educated whites, and young voters was destined to grow as a large percentage of the electorate, while the post-Trump Republican Party would be doomed. To fail, relying on a dwindling population of elderly white people and under-educated voters.

Instead, the Republicans appeared to have increased their share of the black and Latino vote, the Democrats failed to unseat any Republican incumbent in Texas and lost a seat in Congress in New Mexico.

And their hopes for an increase in the number of suburban college-educated voters have failed, indicating that the Republican Party's attacks on liberal ideology have proven effective in places like Oklahoma City, Cedar Rapids and Iowa.

Justin Geest, a political scientist at George Mason University and author of "The New Minority: White Working Class Politics in an Era of Immigration and Inequality," says: "Democrats should ask themselves why they are nominating a person as threatened with annihilation as Joe Biden." The party of experts, urban intellectuals, and social movement activists are pushing forward with candidates who can mobilize people in Montana, Ohio, North Carolina?

It does not look like a patriotic party. ”

Republicans, even if they lost the presidency, would likely feel bold to pursue the likes of Trump.

"Donald Trump will not go, he will become the leader of the party and his biggest voice, and at least he will have the idea of ​​running again," said Brendan Buck, the former advisor to the speaker.

Will continue to be populist ».
