U.S. Presidential Race: A Knive’s Edge

• The U.S. presidential race is on the brink of a significant turn due to two incidents involving Donald Trump.
• The first attempt on Trump’s life in Pennsylvania in July was a shooting, while the second was a man with a rifle at a golf club where Trump was located.
• The impact of these incidents on the public psyche is uncertain, but they may gain Trump some sympathy votes.
• The race between Trump and Vice-President Kamala Harris is currently tied at 49%, with analysts arguing the difference is not beyond the margin of statistical error.
• The 2024 election is expected to see a greater turnout benefiting Democrats, as seen in the 2022 mid-term elections.
• The issue of immigration reform is a thorny one, with Trump’s “Muslim ban” and derogatory remarks about immigrants causing alienation.
• The future of Vice-President Kamala Harris is uncertain, with a need for bipartisan politics and policy.
