I made my presidential race prediction and half of my senate prediction around June. I can’t believe its all come to this. This race was exilerating to follow. Unfortunately, it was still the equivalent of following a burning trash can around. The ups and downs of the Trump campaign have been juxtaposed by the ambiguity of the Biden campaign. Biden’s VP was no surprise to me, and it was a gift from God to Trump. Nevertheless, it is Trump is who is the underdog once again. He has had to visit the most Republican states in the country to bring them back around. It’ll probably work in keeping Georgia, Texas, and other states. Only time well tell. In the meantime, thank you for voting or thank you for sharing politicals posts. Everyone plays a part in our democracy until we don’t. See you after the election.

Trump’s Political Revenge

The new stimulus bill to aid in the country’s fight to deter the short term effects of the economic fallout from the coronavirus was passed by Congress Monday night. However, President Trump did not sign the bill immediately or veto it. He chose to criticize it. 

The president’s delay comes at a crucial time for Republican Party’s transitional phase. They lost the White House, their majority in the Senate is under attack, and their grip on the culture wars is slipping. Senate Majority Leader McConnell took credit for the negotiation of the stimulus bill and gave the announcement to the American people of the agreement. President Trump’s immediate signature is all that was needed for Republicans to stay in the race against Democrats. But they didn’t receive it. 

The president’s decision can be explained by Senate Majority Leader McConnell’s decision to finally acknowledge the legitimacy of President-elect Joe Biden last week. Juxtaposing the president’s repeated efforts to overturn the election results of November 3rd. Which is the issue that has dominated the majority of the president’s lame duck spell.

By choosing to criticize the Republican negotiated bill, President Trump has aided Democrats by making them look generous to the American people. This strategy seems like political suicide, but it may be part of the president’s last efforts at exerting political revenge.

Congress Ceasefire For A New Stimy?

The Democrats and Republicans are finally setting their cannons down and walking across the aisle. This decision comes after months of stalled negotiations where both parties pointed the finger at each other. This deal, at the moment, does not contain the primary goals of either side (direct city and state funding and liability protection for corporations). Each side has issued their political bipartisan heavies, such as Susan Collins from Maine (R), to discuss the details of the proposal.

Young Americans have taken to social media to express their discontent with the proposed $600 direct stimulus to individuals. Further alienating them from either party’s base. 

With all four of Congress’s heavies, House Speaker Pelosi, Senate Majority McConnell, House Minority Leader McCarthy, and Senate Minority Leader Schumer all praising the efforts of the proposal, it is safe to see that whatever is sent to the vote will pass. The deadline given is Christmas, which is a relief to many Americans and businesses on the fringes of economic disasters.

The 2020 Presidential Election

This election has been touted by both sides as “the election of our lives”. I’m always hesitant to believe any candidate that tries this strategy. Regardless, this election will have ratifications that will impact the world. 

         I believe that Joe Biden will be the next president of the United States of America. According to the interactive electoral map prediction I made using 270 to Win, Joe Biden will have 329 electoral votes while President Trump will have 209 electoral votes. The country is looking at the future of their families. The man that made them think he has the future of this country in their mind is Joe Biden and the Democratic Party. The COVID-19 pandemic has been the catalyst in this election for many people to make their decision. The most affected groups, racial minorities and blue-collar workers, will be looking for an alternative to the party that presided over the pandemic’s response.

         The US Senate races are harder to predict, however, I believe the Senate will remain under Republican control. The most important races are the Arizona, Maine and North Carolina Senate races. If those seats are flipped from Republican to Democrat, then Joe Biden and House Democrats should have no issue passing their promised plans. I predict these races will end this way: the Arizona race will go for the Democrat, the Maine race will go for the Democrat, and I think the North Carolina seat will stay the same.

         These three races rely on the referendum on the president. The voters will react to the polarization that the administration, the media, and society are experiencing. This reaction will reflect poorly on Senate Republicans, which is why Senator Lindsey Graham is having trouble keeping his seat. His recent vote to and handling of Justice Barret’s nomination is also another hot topic of his campaign. Regardless, I think he will prevail.  Arizona’s growing diverse electorate and suburban voters have been leaning Democrat in recent elections. Due to the pandemic’s response, this could finally push them to vote Democrat. As for Susan Collins, her reelection in Maine is looking less likely. Her opponent, Sara Gideon, has attacked her record that no longer supports the independents that vote her in every election. The state has voted Democrat in each presidential election since 1992. This year, it looks like her time as the champion of the independents in her state is over.

         If the president is a Democrat and he comes into office with a divided Congress, I think we can expect an even more polarized political environment. There will be strategies on both sides to blame one another for not passing simple legislation. Each party will simply blame the other party for its inefficiencies and it will be up to us to decide whether we want this to go on. I can only expect our polarization to get worse.

 I think we’ll just have to see what happens. Good luck to you all, good luck to all of us, good luck to America.

The DNC Rallies In

The nominations are official. Joe Biden is the Democrat nominee for President and California Senator Kamala Harris is to be the nominee for Vice President. Their political nominations are still in par with the voting ages of 40-65 and such. The DNC brought on all the young voter’s heroes (AOC/Bernie) to sing the greatest hits, but to no avail, young voters do not want to vote for Biden/Harris.

Their message from Night 1 and 2 was that Trump was not the man to lead the country. They highlighted the wrongdoings of his presidency. They also highlighted the number of American groups that have been left behind or offended by the President’s actions and words. These two nights were interesting because Biden was rarely talked about. They deployed a strategy of showing the ugly they are trying to fight before showing the good they want to combat it.

Conservatives claim that tactic was used because Joe Biden isn’t who people are voting for. They claim this is a referendum on the Trump and his presidency. Otherwise known as, “anyone but him” campaign.

These past four nights were designed to appeal to their base. Their messages that America is suffering, but it can go back to be a place of prosperity and dignity oppose the messages the Democrat platform enforced or refused to denounce 1-2 months ago. Their overall message on night 3 and 4 was that America needs its soul back, and Biden is the man to do that. Of course, that is up to the American people to decide. The DNC did a great job at communicating that message.

Now we wait for the RNC, then the debates, and we finish this dramatic race with the election. So much has happened this year, so we will have to see how all of this plays out day by day.
