Opinion: Why Trump has no real competitors in the 2020 presidential election of the year
In the United States, an election campaign began for the presidential election 2020 of the year, and the first statements have already appeared for those who wish to fight for the chair of the White House. However, so far among the candidates there is no real opponent for the current president, Donald Trump.
About this in a comment to the site “Today“said international affairs expert Anton Kuchukhidze.
According to him, 45-th President of the United States fulfilled his campaign promises, which earned him a lot of advantages in the eyes of voters.
“Trump clearly has ambitions to remain for a second term. And for this he is doing everything - both from the point of view of domestic and foreign policy. At the domestic policy level, it created more than four million jobs and delivered a steady 3% GDP growth for the US economy. What he promised, he did - keep the US great, attract investment and support American manufacturing. It is clear that not everything is so smooth in foreign policy, but he began a global revision of relations with all key allies. He firmly lobbies the interests of the United States, although his partners do not like it. As for foreign policy, he has a mixed positive result. For example, it was possible to renegotiate the terms of free trade zones with Canada, and now they have a new agreement there; with Iran and Syria – the issues are hanging; difficult relations with Turkey; he puts pressure on Germany regarding the construction of Nord Stream 2; The pressure on Russia has increased - sanctions, pressure on the oligarchs. Many processes have been launched, and not everything is clear,” noted Kuchukhidze.
But, despite all the ambiguity of Trump’s activities, the Democrats have no one to oppose him yet, the expert believes.
“The Democrats are in crisis; they do not have a clear leader who could unite the establishment and lead the party to the elections. There are candidates. But despite their statement, Trump has an advantage, because in addition to results, there is his charisma, there is his experience, there is his inconsistency, which can play into his hands,” says Kuchukhidze.
At the same time, the expert clarified that the elections are still far away. And there is a possibility that during this time the Democrats will select and prepare a worthy candidate who will be able to fight on equal terms with Trump.
Recall the next US presidential elections will be held in November 2020, but the election campaign has already begun. First candidates put forward for party primaries.
