Joe Biden on November 4, 2020 in Wilmington, Delaware
Joe Biden won the 2020 presidential election, which led the former vice president to a position he had coveted for nearly five decades and ended Donald Trump’s chaotic presidency.
“They revere me and move me to accept as true what other Americans have put in me and Vice President-elect Harris,” Biden said on a Saturday morning. “With the crusade over, it’s time to put anger and rhetorical toughness behind us and come in combination as a nation. “
Senator Kamala Harris will make history as the first Array, the first black and the first user of South Asian descent to be elected vice president.
Trump’s mandate was characterized by the undermining of public aptitude measures, a pandemic that killed more than 236,000 Americans, the militarization of government purposes that oppose alleged parties to the conflict, and the strengthening of conspiracy theories and white supremacist groups. has done nothing more urgent than take control of the coronavirus.
The Electoral College may be narrow: states that seemed relatively close to Biden proved close, and the result was not the overwhelming victory that some polls had projected as possible. Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan: The lengthy procedure put the country on edge and led Trump to falsely claim victory in several key states early in the morning after a long election night.
But in the popular vote, Biden won easily. He won the most votes cast for a candidate in a U. S. presidential race, more than $75 million, and defeated a incumbent who was incredibly popular with his base and infuriated Democrats with a presidency based on racism, lies, and appeasement of his own. Ego.
Biden’s attempts at management will almost in fact run into a concrete fact: Trump has been defeated, but trumpism has not been defeated. Biden led his crusade with a central and existential argument that Trump is an aberration in American politics and that the American electorate needs a moderate hand of the company to restore the country to an appearance of normalcy. In short, Democrats sought after this election to resoundingly repudiate Trump and his policies.
That’s what happened.
The swollen and capitalized tensions through Trump were provided in this country before he took office, and divisions remain strong. Although the final vote count has not been known for some time, more than 70 million Americans voted for Trump. Many of those electorates that Biden and other Democrats are corrupt, authorized, and unworthy to lead, and will form a vocal and enthusiastic opposition. Over the summer, larger demonstrations in U. S. history focused on preventing black-opposed police violence and rectifying systemic racism, proposals trump and many of his supporters rejected. Unifying such a divided country, or even alleviating partisan hostility, will be one of Biden’s most important tasks.
Moreover, Senate control is still unknown, with the option that majority leader Mitch McConnell may continue to paint his reign iron. Early in his campaign, Biden largely considered his years as a figure in DC’s status quo and as a negotiator. , as a pragmatist with progressive ideals but bipartisan tendencies he would seek to paint with McConnell, as he did when he was vice president, but, as many progressive Democrats have pointed out, McConnell’s strategy when Barack Obama was president was to oppose pretty much everything. There is no explanation as to why to think that McConnell will act now, and while resistance to Democrats will allow McConnell to maintain his ranks relatively easily, deep divisions between progressive and moderate Democrats can also make it difficult for Biden to keep his party unified.

Although Trump will leave office, he is unlikely to leave the camp. It will still have more than 88 million followers on Twitter, dominate a Republican Party that has been remodeled to fit its symbol, and motivate millions who passionately feel it gives them a voice in a war opposed to the establishment. – whether it’s elites, government or other institutions, adding science. You will most likely take advantage of each and every opportunity to oppose and undermine Biden.
However, Biden will be president of the United States, with all the official force trump has now lost. He won a crusade so close that it was historic in a way that no one could have foreseen: COVID-19 forced radical closures of the company. Biden chose to adhere to public fitness rules while Trump organized giant rallies where participants were not required to wear masks, and many did not. It is a contrast that Trump, who last month was briefly hospitalized after being diagnosed with coronavirus, expected Biden to appear frightened, weak and unable to attract the crowd.
Biden, however, has made Trump’s mismanagement of the pandemic the focal point of his campaign, criticizing Trump for downplaying the danger early on and failing to spread it. Biden has given lengthy speeches about the crisis and what it would take to recover from it, and modeled a safe habit by observing strict social distancing and disguise at all public events.
The nature of the crusade, est distanced, impersonal, was not welcomed to Biden, who has built his car since the 1970s on an intimate human connection and visceral emotion. turn of fate in 1972, and his son Beau Biden died of cancer in 2015. he spent some time relating to them about their own losses, comforting others as they took selfies with them. Then, as thousands of Americans cried, they enjoyed those who died of COVID-19, Biden was able to communicate about his pain.
“There are moments in our history so sinister, so heartbreaking, that they are constant in each of our hearts like a shared pain. Today is one of those moments,” Biden said in a speech from his home in Delaware in May.
“I think I know how you feel. You feel like you’re sucked into a black hole in the middle of your chest. It’s suffocating,” he said.

Trump, for his part, has continually blamed the death toll and the increase in the number of COVID-19 cases in the United States for a media conspiracy and its Democratic opponents. He mocked himself dressed in a “politically correct” mask. After a largely unmasked occasion to introduce Amy Coney Barrett as her U. S. Supreme Court candidate, Trump and members of his inner circle contracted the virus and the president had to be hospitalized. In the final weeks of the campaign, the pandemic erupted the country, with instances expanding in almost every state and region on the Midwest battlefield is badly affected.
Both applicants felt that they had operated in exchange for authenticities during the general election campaign. Biden pointed out the very genuine consequences of the pandemic on people’s lives; Trump downplayed it and under pressure wants to revive the economy. Biden spent curious months at home and only gave the impression of small events; Trump has staged giant demonstrations as if nothing had changed, which in some cases has likely led to outbreaks of the coronavirus. But any of the applicants, during the peak of the race, campaigned against Trump. For Trump, it was the same willingness to always be the center of attention and the self-proclaimed savior of the nation, infrequently referring to himself as “his favorite president” or comparing himself favorably to Abraham Lincoln. For Biden, it was a constant invocation of the president’s failures, even beyond the coronavirus, from his refusal to unequivocally condemn the white supremacists who marched in Charlottesville in 2017 to embracing authoritarian foreigners. Biden invoked Charlottesville on the first day of his campaign, claiming he was waging a war for the soul of the nation. That theme persisted, a trap for the existential risk that Biden said Trump posed, either for decency or for America’s health and safety.
But towards the end of the race, Trump attempted to oppose biden’s character choice, with a frantic crusade led through Rudy Giuliani to engage Biden in an unclear evil plot in Ukraine and China with his son Hunter (there is no evidence that the claims in his first debate, Trump talked about Hunter’s drug history , a strategy that has not gained much ground beyond the right. “My son, like many other people, like many other people we know at home, had a drug problem,” Biden replied. “He got over it, he constantly worked there and I’m proud of him. “
The moment the debate was canceled, when Trump refused to have interaction in a virtual debate after contracting the coronavirus, the third least hectic but which did not replace the dynamics of the race.

This was Biden’s third presidential candidacy, and he was the leader of the national election for the career’s highest, the crusade still had a sense of improbeability. His crusade for the Democratic nomination in 1988 ended in 1987 amid plagiarism problems. His 2008 candidacy collapsed, after a poor role in Iowa caucuses, that year he was elected vice president under Barack Obama, the first black president.
Biden has linked his legacy to Obama’s legacy in this year’s traditionally varied list of Democratic candidates, which included more women and others of color than any previous primary. When Biden stumbled upon the Iowa cautes and finished an embarrassing fifth in the New Hampshire primary, it seemed he was going to give in again, but Biden and his advisers argued that the contest would turn to their advantage in South Carolina, where most of the Democratic electorate is black, and they were right. Biden’s victory there caused a major clearing of the Righteous when the coronavirus was beginning to spread in the United States, an ideological war broke out temporarily between moderate Biden and Democratic socialist Bernie Sanders, and Sanders temporarily backed Biden, emerging as one of his top trusted substitutes.
Trump, in his four years in office, made a concerted effort to repeal legislation and regulations explained by the Obama administration: protections for trans and gender-free youth in schools and adults in the military, the DACA youth program brought to the United States. protection against housing discrimination, and more.
The way Biden, 77, will rule is a major factor after a crusade so struck by the pandemic and the current president. as pragmatic without progressive, but as crises multiplied, Biden indicated that he would be more open to systemic and structural adjustments than he had ever explicitly described.
Young and progressive Americans, for whom this summer’s protests were among the first defining political movements in their lives, will take a look at what Biden is doing as president to combat insidious institutional racism, such as crises such as climate change and gun violence.
“I don’t think Biden’s age necessarily has to be the limit for him to be a transformative leader, yet he will have the decisions he makes and who runs it,” Chokwe Lumumba, 37-year-old mayor of Jackson, Mississippi. BuzzFeed News in June. ” We can’t play security and assume that the power around Donald Trump will disappear. “●
