Carlos Rovelo, professor of political science and analyst at Dallas College, and Cesar Grajalespolitical scientist and national communications director of the LIBRE Initiative, said this Monday in Aristegui Live, that herace for the White House for the period 2025-2029. is at a point of factual connection that goes beyond the noticeable differences between the Democratic candidate Kamala Harris and Republican Donald Trump.

In his analysis of the election struggle that this will have Tuesday, November 5th is your key day meet the next President of the United States, Rovelo He pointed out that, aside from the fact that the difference between one candidate and the other is very narrow, the discrepancy in what each can offer the American people if elected is very noticeable.

The differences between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are radical. What each candidate offers to the American people is like night and day, and that is what will be decided tomorrow.

“We have two candidates who were already associated with the government. Former President Trump already has a well-established political reputation. “We wouldn’t be surprised by what a second Trump administration might be like.”

“From Kamala was also already associated with Presidency of Joe Biden and we know what he has a very different proposal regarding the foreign relations of the United States how does it look Middle EastWith Israel, compared to Trump, also with Ukraine which are very important international conflicts.

“And his economic policies, like she plans to attack inflationassistance to small businesses, taxes. But on Trump’s side it’s completely different, we know this For him, foreign policy is primarily about the United States. and the rest get in line.

For analyst and teacher bilateral relations between Mexico and the United States could suffer if the American tycoon wins again.

“In other words, they are expected to change policy towards Ukraine, as well as relations with Mexico, which could suffer since Trump is a person who has talked a lot about Mexico in the past, which is very different from how Kamala Harris plans the relationship with Mexico,” he said.

Meanwhile, Cesar Grajalesnoted that Republican supporters’ enthusiasm for early voting could bring surprise this Tuesday, favorable for Trump.

“What’s happening at the moment all-time early voting recordespecially from republican wingTraditionally, they don’t vote the way they voted this election cycle with the same enthusiasm. It was something traditional for the Democrats.”

Based on this, and taking into account that elections are approaching in which Republicans traditionally vote with great enthusiasm, it is possible that former President Trump will pull off a surprise tomorrow and return to the White House.

However, Grajales stressed that the race is very close in states like Pensilvania, whose result could tip the election in favor of either of them.

For a political scientist, the proximity of the election fight when the important day arrives is due to the fact that Kamala Harris who replaced the president Joe Biden as a democratic candidate, failed to distance himself from the current governmentneither withcommunicate with citizens what did they see how their standard of living has become more expensive over the past four years.

“What does it represent? Kamala Harrissomething she hasn’t achieved in recent months since she was put in there as the Democratic candidate It is to distance yourself from the administration of which you are a part, where at that time the highest peak was 9% inflation and cumulative so far 20% inflation in recent years.”

“And it was impossible to differentiate because apart from macroeconomic indicators, the stock market and what some economic indicators say, people go to the supermarket every day, when they fill up gas, when they buy clothes for their children. those who go to school or buy school supplies, they realize that all this costs them 20, 30 or 40% more than four years ago,” he said.

“And you can walk with beautiful political story, but when you are hitting the pocket of the average citizen, this is not what the voter likes. and it is here that in any study the economic question gives preference for former President Trump.”

Grajales thought immigration issue as an argument in favor former American president compared to abortion, which Democrats considered the current vice president’s cutting edge.

This election cycle, the crisis at the border has left many people with a sense of insecurity in the country, and the vast majority, if not all, of the polls on this issue, which are two important priorities for Americans. express a vote of confidence in former President Trump.

And he added:

On the issue of abortion, he apparently gives a vote of confidence to Kamala Harris, but the issue has not gained traction as the Democratic Party apparently expected. I think candidate Kamala Harris, no matter how much effort she put in, has not been able to connect the way she had hoped, and that is why there is an election battle today that is going head to head because the Democratic candidate did. failed to take off as the strategists expected.

Analysts expressed their opinion if one of the two participants does not respect the result of the vote it’s November 5th.

For Rovelo That mass voting in the last electoral process, and also enthusiasm which demonstrated The American population is still participating in early voting This is a factor that increases the reliability of the result.

“If Trump doesn’t win, he already has a reason to say that there was fraud, that there were no fair elections. This undermines trust in the democratic process. So this is also at risk. Just like in 2020, “He never accepted the election results.”

But you have to look at something else, which is the optimism of voters, and the more people vote, the better off democracy, the political system of the United States will be. And that’s what both candidates are trying to maintain now: optimism.

“Mainly in such indecisive states as Pennsylvania, Georgia, Wisconsin, Michigan. This point in voting will largely depend on optimism. the number of people who are willing to believe that it is worth voting. In the 2020 elections, we saw a phenomenon – a record number of voters. Biden had 81 million. Trump had 75 million. Something that’s never been seen before We hope that in this election these numbers will also be exceeded because it will help in this political transition process.”

Grajales, For his part, he recalled that there is a choice vote counting in case the legality of the result is not recognized. And I believe that the winning candidate will fulfill unifying work that the country so needs.

It is important to acknowledge the vote. If one of the candidates does not agree with the result of tomorrow’s vote, he has the right by law to demand a recount. But beyond that, if this recount is achieved and this person is later proven to win, I believe we should accept it and move forward for the good of the country. Now the country needs to unite.

“There are people who feel dissatisfied with the US election process when there is voices from the Democratic Party who say asking for ID is racist When in any country in the world you have to ask for an ID card to vote, then Things like this needlessly sow doubt in the electoral process. “Protocol must be followed, and above all, what the Constitution says only citizens of the United States vote for.”

Let’s hope that tomorrow, whoever wins, that political leader will understand that one of the priorities of the United States today is to finally unite the country, a leader who unites the country, because there is currently very much polarity in the United States and these gaps in political differences must be bridged.
