President-elect Joe Biden, who will launch a new administration in the United States this month, has called on the people to reconcile and emphasized that the division of American society will be resolved.
However, the gap with the Republican Party, which is the opposition party, is greater than ever, and there are concerns about line conflicts within the Democratic Party of Japan, which is a relative, and many domestic issues await.
Mr. Biden, who will become president of the United States on the 20th of this month, said in a post-election victory declaration that he would become a president who aims for unity, not division, calling for reconciliation with the people and emphasizing that the division of American society will be resolved. doing.
However, President Trump still does not admit defeat for fraudulent elections, and most of his supporters, including 90% of Republican supporters in some post-election polls. Is also believed to believe in the president's claim.
In addition, it is not easy to get cooperation in the federal parliament because of the large gap with the Republican Party regarding climate change countermeasures and medical insurance system reform that Mr. Biden has pledged.
Another issue is unity within the Democratic Party of Japan.
The left wing within the party, which has an influence centered on young people, has increased its voice within the party because it greatly contributed to Mr. Biden's victory in the presidential election, but the new administration's personnel and social security costs have increased. The turmoil with Mr. Biden over the policy has surfaced, and it has been pointed out that there is a possibility of a line conflict in the future.
There are many issues in domestic affairs toward the "reconciliation" that Mr. Biden is aiming for, and Mr. Biden is likely to be forced to steer difficult immediately after the inauguration of the administration.
Pay attention to the final vote of the Senate, which influences the administration
The composition of the ruling and opposition parties in the federal parliament will greatly influence Mr. Biden's administration.
As a result of the parliamentary elections that took place at the same time as the presidential election, the Democratic Party won a majority of seats in the House of Representatives, but the Senate was the majority in the result of a two-seat final vote in southern Georgia on the 5th of this month. Will be decided.
If the Democratic Party fails to win both seats in this Georgia election, the Senate will be Republican-major, and the next Biden administration will be launched in a so-called "twist" where the administration and the Senate majority are different.
It is the first time in 32 years since the Republican Bush administration in 1988 that it has been in a "twisted" state since the inauguration of the new administration.
The elections in Georgia are drawing attention as an important election to see if the Biden administration will get off to a good start, as it is expected that it will be difficult to approve ministerial personnel and pass bills in a “twisted” state.
Both President Trump and Mr. Biden are in a fierce election campaign, with both parties planning to hold a rally in Georgia on the 4th, the day before the vote.
