The polls reveal the strength of the democratic political ecosystem, with candidates surpassing the head of government in acceptance
Joe Biden remains determined to run for the 2024 presidential election. This was made clear on Wednesday by a United States government adviser, who told CNN that Tuesday’s midterm election results would not stand in the way of his political goals. will stand.
The president is currently studying eligibility to run again at age 81 with a small group of advisers. He wants to apply. And more if his rival was Donald Trump. The adviser recalled that both Barack Obama and Bill Clinton witnessed Democratic defeat in the midterm elections, but won reelection two years later. Biden also sees it as possible. Of course, depending on how the Senate and House of Representatives are ultimately formed, the same sources don’t rule out the need to make changes in government to cope with the next two years of the legislature, complicated when Republicans finally get the hang of it. take control of Congress.
Biden spent much of Wednesday morning congratulating Democratic candidates who managed to become state governors or senators in particularly compromised areas. Last night (4pm in Washington) he would make his first, possibly bittersweet, statements. The party did not get a victory, but neither did the exorbitant defeat that was predicted, which can be interpreted as a partial victory. And especially as a conquest of democracy in the face of threats and a commitment to women’s rights, two key issues in this election that the president is sure to bring up in his speech. The court verdict against the voluntary termination of pregnancy and the Republicans’ fervent defense of anti-abortion have become a decisive dam for the expected red tide by all analysis in the US. California, Vermont and Michigan voted individual consultations on abortion rights, excluding the election, and all three had a positive outcome.
What does seem to be demonstrated is the power of the democratic political ecosystem. There is a couch. The candidates for key institutional positions in some twenty states proved more attractive to Americans than Biden himself. His confidence index exceeded between the 8% and 12.6% recorded by the White House tenant as president. It is also true that during the campaign, the president has avoided campaigning in those provinces where his acceptance is weak.
Cases such as Maggie Hassan, who has triumphed against her at all costs by a 10% margin over her Republican rival in New Hampshire, or the contented challenge of Raphael G. Warnock in Georgia (a man of calm rhetoric in the antipodes of the kin to Trumpism), suggest that many candidates have been above the president’s aura. Particularly sentimental is John Fetterman, the Pennsylvania candidate who shone at the end of the campaign after radical conservatives mocked him for his speech problems due to a stroke. His quality as a commoner, defender of workers’ rights and concerned about the fight against crime got to the point that, according to polls, Republican sympathizers voted for him. What is clear, as mentioned, is that there is a bank: either these candidates developed more empathy with the electorate, or the electorate preferred to vote against the Republicans as a lesser evil.
Another fact that seems to support this appeal is the importance of the independents. Polls show that the grassroots has not only helped contain the predicted electoral catastrophe, but the party has also drawn more independents than its Republican opponents by 49% to 45%. This trend indicates that Democrats on Tuesday took the ballots of Americans who did not support Biden in 2020 or who disapproved of his management in the polls of the past two years.
