Elderly Biden's fainting will ensure victory for Trump - expert
Former US Vice President Joseph Biden wins the primaries, but risks losing the election campaign.
Nezavisimaya Gazeta writes about this, pointing out that polls show a worrying picture for Biden.
Thus, according to several recent opinion polls, Biden is ahead of Trump by about 6%, but in the middle of the month he was given about 10%.
“The 2016 presidential elections come to mind. Then, at the end of April, Hillary Clinton beat Trump by 12% and still ended up losing. The percentage of respondents who chose not to tell sociologists about their true preferences turned out to be too large,” the newspaper notes.
In addition, back in early April, it seemed that the pandemic would play into Biden’s hands, since Americans clearly did not like that the number of cases in the country was growing, and many of them were inclined to blame the country’s president for this, but now people began to get tired of the self-isolation regime. and President Trump’s course aimed at gradually lifting all restrictions and restoring the country’s economy to its previous mode is finding more and more supporters.
Also, against the backdrop of Trump speaking every day, doubts have not been dispelled that Biden, for health reasons, is able to continue his election campaign.
“The Democrats’ mouthpiece is now the leader of their faction in the Senate, Chuck Schumer, and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi. Biden has gone into the shadows. It is not available to the public at all. All this raises questions among voters about what will happen in the fall, when there will be an election fight and, possibly, a second wave of the pandemic,” Vladimir Vasiliev, chief researcher at the Institute of the USA and Canada of the Russian Academy of Sciences, told NG.
According to him, the lifting of quarantine restrictions in a number of states increases the likelihood that Trump will resume his campaign trips to the regions.
“Under these conditions, Biden will be forced to accept the challenge and also go to meetings with voters. And this is a risk. Let us remember that in 1996, Bob Dole actually ensured the victory of his rival Bill Clinton, as he fainted during one of the events. Many are now wondering, what if something similar happens to Biden?” – added the political scientist.
PolitNavigator previously reported that Trump is betting on dementia Biden.
