Former President Donald Trump will return to the White House after comprehensively defeating Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris at the polls, despite the fact that polls stated that they were going to be a supposedly close election.
According to what is projected by American networks, Trump obtained more than the necessary 270 electoral votes to defeat Harris, who reached, for now, 219 voters.
In the Argentine political scientist and writer Agustín Laje He revealed the reasons for what he called Donald Trump’s “beating” of Kamala Harris, of whom he said: “She didn’t have enough gray matter.”
From the outset, Laje said that voters chose Trump confident that the US economy will improve, emphasizing that this sector has been greatly affected during the mandate of current President Joe Biden.
“When you look at inflation and you see, for example, energy. In energy, during the Harris-Biden administration, there has been inflation close to 35%, while in the previous Trump administration there was a deflation of almost 1%. Or for example, when shopping for essential items every day in the supermarket; Egg, coffee, milk, vegetables, those types of things had inflation above the 22% during the administration of Harris and Biden and during Trump’s there was an inflation of 5% during his entire period“said Argentine political scientist and writer Agustín Laje.
Secondly, Laje mentioned the issue of migration that the United States has been facing under the Biden administration, who some experts mention has been a very lax president with the measures.
“Secondly, the issue of migration has been very serious in the United States. People who don’t live there may not understand this, but in the last three and a half years, an unknown number of illegal immigrants have entered. There are sources that speak of eight million, ten million. There are people who have even talked about more than 21 million illegal immigrants who have made the United States more unsafe,” added in
“They have played to divide the population into minorities that were supposedly in permanent conflict with each other. And part of those minorities have abandoned them during these elections. “The one that mostly abandoned the Democratic Party has been the Hispanic minority,” Laje highlighted in
The political scientist also stated in that the Democrats were abandoned in these elections by middle and lower class people.
“These are some of the data and factors that we can take into account to explain the overwhelming beating. This was a real beating, this was not a defeat; It was a real beating of the seven key states that were really in dispute in the elections. Donald Trump won 7 to 0″, he stated.
Laje also stated that Harris did not lack time to convince voters, but rather — according to him — he did not “have enough gray matter.”
“Kamala Harris did not dare to have certain interviews, she did not dare to face journalists after her very advanced nomination which was in August. That is to say, he had time, it is not true how much time he could have had. He had time and he didn’t use it efficiently. Instead of having gone to certain media, podcastShe always chose friends. He always chose what could generate a friendly scenario.”, highlighted the Argentine political scientist and writer.
