This is for the first time in twenty-first century American history presidential election has divided the nation while the House of Representatives and the Senate went to Democratic Party but election of the President is yet to be decided. This new trend in the election in the United States of America has added a new dimension. It means, however, if Mr. Donald Trump becomes President it would be difficult to pass a budget.
But the situation is turning from bad to worse because President Donald Trump is reported to have delivered the most “dishonest speech “by saying he does not need to concede while former Senator of Republican party Rick Sanatorium is stated to have said shockingly to hear Trump saying these things in speech from the White House. Meanwhile, President Donald Trump went to the court to block counting ballots in Arizona, Georgia and Pennsylvania as well. Earlier on 4 November at 2.20 am President Trump said this is a major fraud in our nation but he never came with the proof of fraud. The Governor of Maryland who is also Republican reportedly said there was no defense for the President’s comments tonight undermining our democracy process.
A good number of Republican criticized the President for his unsubstantiated speech that Democrats are trying to steal the election which undermines “the US political process and the bedrock notion.” Republican Senator Mitt Romney who contested the presidential election in 2012 reportedly said that he did not cast a vote in favor of President Donald Trump.
By now four members of the Progressive squad of congress women of color—Alexandria Ocasio-cortez, Ilan Omar, Ayanna Presley and Rashida Tlaib have been elected comfortably in the House of Representatives belonging to Democratic Party. President Trump on July 14, 2019 has attacked progressive these congress women saying they hate our country and Israel and added by saying they should feel free to leave the country if they are not happy here. Ilhan Omar was from Somalia while Rashida Tlaib from Palestine. This is for the first time Sarah Mc Bride’s victory in Delaware Senate has made her first transgender member.
Joe Biden already secured a huge number of popular votes. Unexpected number of American cast their votes which are well over the number of 2016 cast their votes that elected President Trump. 74 million votes cast by the people of the United states of America. Now President Trump is apparently making the process of the Presidential election difficult by saying he has no plan to concede even if the path to victory is blocked.
Joe Biden addressed the people of the United States of America from his state Delaware at 10 Pm on 6 November along with vice-presidential candidate Kamala Harris to remain calm and patience as his lead against President Trump has widened in key swing states. Unfortunately, this year’s Presidential election in the USA has become hazardous and complicated as a result of coronavirus which took the lives of 200,000 since coronavirus detected in February this year, but the death toll continues to rise.
