In addition to the controversial state of Pennsylvania in the north, the route to the White House runs via the conservative south. A local ‘Krone’ inspection in the hot final of the election campaign.
“USA, USA, USA!” echoes through the McCamish Pavilion – although it would be hours before he would make his grand entrance. At the beginning of the week, thousands made a pilgrimage to the mighty event hall of the renowned Georgia Tech University in Atlanta to cheer on Donald Trump during the finals of the election campaign. On stage, the ex-president spoke again – to thunderous applause – about illegal immigrants and his political opponents. The bottom line is that there isn’t much news, although things are looking up, especially in the state of Georgia.
It is no surprise that Kamala Harris visited the bustling metropolis that same week – for the second time in this election campaign. In both camps there is mobilization until the very last second!
The state in the southeastern US is located in the so-called Bible Belt, a strongly evangelical region. It is considered a key to the White House: the approximately eleven million inhabitants send sixteen voters and can therefore be decisive in the final count.
Already in 2020, the elections in Georgia, which had been dominated by Republicans for decades, came to a dramatic climax: Democrat Joe Biden won and became president. He was particularly successful in the region around the capital Atlanta. Since then, the state has been considered a swing state that cannot be clearly assigned to either camp. In any case, the latest polls show a neck-and-neck race between the two presidential candidates.
But in the other six swing states Wisconsin, Michigan, North Carolina, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Arizona it is also close as hell – with currently razor-thin advantages for Donald Trump. The United States is at a crossroads – completely open-ended.
