Advisor to the RISS Director Ilya Kravchenko comments on the results of the US presidential elections.
Summary:
The election results are clear: Trump wins with quite a margin. Such results are unexpected for both Democrats and Republicans. The Democratic Party relied on the results of surveys. According to them, Kamala Harris should have steadfastly won.
The expert cites several key reasons for Trump’s win. First, he was active in social networks and visited Joe Rogan’s interview, meanwhile Harris did not. Second, the Democrats put a stake on abortions and issues of people of color. Trump did not pay much attention to the first issue and shifted the responsibility on to the states. The Democratic Party focused on the oppression of people of color and intended to do grant them even more subsidies. The Americans do not want their taxes to be spent on such a thing. Third, Harris is an active Vice President of the United States and cannot criticize Biden as much as Trump does. She cannot also pretend that she has nothing to do with the current situation in the country.
Kravchenko believes that Trump’s cabinet will be full of loyal to him people. Elon Musk may as well be appointed to a post.
The transition-of-power stage will not be smooth. Just like in 2016 the Obama’s administration compromised this process, the Biden’s may do the same. The experts expect some unrest but they will not be massive.
