Washington: The Covid-19 pandemic today reforms the scene of the presidential race in Florida, Arizona and Texas, three key North American states in the so-called Belt of the Sun, Prensa Latina publishes.
Less than four months before the election, Democratic challenger Joseph Biden seems to be embarrassing the current president, Donald Trump, the media warns.
Biden leads by six points in Florida and the two are tied in Arizona and competing in Texas, where the former vice president is below Trump by just one point, as reported by CBS News.
In the three states, six out of 10 citizens who will go to the polls on November 3 believe that there was a reopening too soon in their states and feel that it was due to pressure from the Trump administration and not because it was the right thing to do.
While three out of four voters consider that SARS-Cov-2 in their state is a very serious problem.
Most also believe that the occupant of the Oval Office simply mismanaged the outbreak of the SARS-Cov-2 coronavirus, so, in the opinion of observers, this will take its toll, at least in the short term.
This is helping Biden not only make bigger profits with groups that already tend to be Democrats – such as women and younger people – but also to cut margins on Trump with the elderly.
Senior citizens, who are very concerned about the pandemic, support the Democrat in their almost generality, throw the scores.
However, although he is in a difficult situation in three states that he won in 2016, the president maintains enthusiastic support from his base for the belief that his policies are more likely to help the economy recover than to hinder it.
Furthermore, they estimate that the economy continues to outperform Covid-19 as its main theme.
At the same time, the coincidence on the issue of aggravated racial tensions after the murder by a white Minneapolis police officer of the African American George Floyd on May 25, stands out.
But for anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan, neither Biden nor Trump are viable candidates. In a recent interview with Prensa Latina, she expressed skepticism regarding the elections on November 3.
We are supposed to have a ‘democracy’, but only the two most important parties (Democrat and Republican) are the ones that have the opportunity to be in the hell of power.
When we look at the two candidates like these, he said, we realize that basically in the history of the United States elections, what we call to vote is for the lesser of two evils.
The Belt of the Sun is a region of the country that extends from the Atlantic coast of the southeast to the Pacific coast of the Southwest.
