There are only a few days left until the end of this year and the beginning of 2024, which will be a year of electoral vertigo in the United States to determine the future head of the White House, as well as members of the Houses of Representatives and Senators, in addition to a good number of governors.

For the moment, everything indicates that Joseph Biden, of the Democratic Party, will once again face Republican Donald Trump for the presidency of the most powerful country from the economic and military point of view.

It is true that the former will enter the race at over 80 years of age, a rather advanced age, and the latter must resolve a series of judicial entanglements that could complicate his life, but no alternative name has yet been mentioned in this process.

For the current president, Biden, things are going uphill according to a survey conducted by Bloomberg News/Morning Consult, where it is revealed that if the elections were held now, he would lose in seven key states to remain in power.

These are Arizona, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, North Carolina and Nevada, where Trump appears in the lead.

The reasons are various, according to analysts, but in general they begin because this administration has not imposed its own stamp and is gradually moving closer to the imprint left by the Republicans, especially on migrants.


Moreover, his almost unconditional support to Israel in the extermination that the Zionist regime is carrying out in the Gaza Strip is creating a cold zone among the American population, particularly among young people and ethnic minorities.


The images coming from the Middle East are chilling, as are the numbers of children killed or seriously injured as a result of the bombings ordered from Tel Aviv and supported by Washington.


At the same time, as Democratic analyst Stanley Greenberg points out, there are more and more people in the United States whose wages are not enough to make ends meet due to the increase in the prices of the basic food basket.


There is a growing impression that Biden is focusing too much on foreign affairs and not on the domestic economy and the plight of the less favored sectors of society.In general terms, other analysts believe that the majority of the Democratic electorate is not impressed by Biden's record as president, while Trump retains the hardcore Republican vote.
