In the ‘Rainer Nowak Talk’ on krone.tv, journalist and entrepreneur Maggie Childs, ex-US Ambassador Martin Weiss and political expert Thomas Hofer discussed the match between Trump and Harris on November 5.
Important elections are coming soon. For the US, the whole world. Former President Donald Trump is once again catching up in the polls. Rainer Nowak welcomed well-known experts to krone.tv. Political analyst Thomas Hofer: “Trump’s electorate is committed, but not growing. But what the Republicans have succeeded in doing is demobilizing Democratic voters. With negative campaigns.”
There are also economic problems in the US. Kamala Harris is in the mix as Joe Biden’s vice president. There are still a lot of undecided people, says Democrat Maggie Childs. Martin Weiss, former ambassador to the US, says Trump is being demonized, but with him you know what you get. “With Harris you have the feeling that you are too cautious because of the small lead. And suddenly you’re behind in the polls.” Hofer with a central sentence: The media takes Trump literally, but not seriously. The exact opposite applies to voters. Childs adds that Trump scores points with clear statements like “No tax on tips.”
The lively and highly informative debate by experts also includes the question of whether the US is ready to elect a wife yet. Diplomat Weiss says it’s still a problem, even if it’s not openly discussed. And one thing is certain: “The American president is a macho job. He sends troops to war. A woman must be three times better.” Maggie Childs: The final phase is about messing with the other person. According to Hofer, an advantage for Trump is the seriousness of his announcements. “I’m going to solve this.” Clear statements, even if not so easy to implement. Martin Weiss: “Trump is the master of simple messages.”
Republicans will likely win the Senate, Weiss says. If Harris wins, things will be tough for them from day one. In Biden’s mind, however, she would strongly embody the transatlantic element. If Trump wins, what then? In the Middle East there is no big difference, but in Ukraine it would be different, says Hofer. Trump would increase the pressure and possibly not provide financial aid. And to bring such peace.
