America is approaching a crucial election in a tense climate, with the risk of incidents and legal challenges. Security is at the highest levels, with metal fences and barricades around the White House and Congress. Similar measures were adopted after the attack on Congress on January 6, 2021 by Donald Trump supporters. The National Guard was mobilized in several states, including Washington and Oregon, after ballot containers were set on fire.
Some fears include a regrouping of pro-Trump groups like the Proud Boys, who stormed the Capitol. If Trump were to declare victory despite the outcome of the vote, it could trigger further legal and political conflicts. About 80 million voters have already participated in early voting, representing nearly half of the 2020 total. At stake is not only the presidential election, but also the renewal of Congress, which will significantly influence the powers of the future president.
The election campaign culminates on November 5 and has been marked by dramatic events, including trials and attempts on Trump’s life. Kamala Harris could become the first black woman in the White House, while Trump aims to be the first president since the 19th century to win a second term after a loss. According to recent polls, Harris has a four percentage point lead over Trump (51% to 47%), exceeding the margin of error of 3.5 points.
The final month of the campaign has been marked by violent attacks from Trump and gaffes from Biden. Harris has sought to distance herself from Trump’s violent rhetoric, stressing that her presidency will be different.
“The only thing I really enjoy doing is…,” Trump says in recordings dating back to 2017, causing a stir. This election represents a crucial point for the future of America and its democracy.
