One of the most climactic elections in US history is also one of the closest.
Never before in US history have voters chosen between two presidential candidates who so starkly personify America’s. Not even in the 1860 election, on the eve of the US Civil War, when the Republican candidate Abraham Lincoln emerged the victor from a four-way contest which featured two rival Democrats.
Donald Trump and Kamala Harris: a picture of America’s great divide, as never yet seen in a presidential contest.Kamala Harris is not just a Democrat but a democrat: a believer in free and fair elections and the sanctity of their outcomes. Donald Trump has repeatedly defamed democracy, both in 2020 when he lost and even in 2016 when he won.
Never before have Americans been presented with the prospect of such divergent presidencies. Trump, by firing thousands of public servants deemed to obstruct his path, could effect the most dramatic change to the make-up of the federal government since Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s New Deal first expanded Washington’s executive power.
Harris, meanwhile, has been hamstrung by the mis-steps of Joe Biden’s administration, especially on immigration, and also, in these final days, by his mis-speaking. The elderly president’s latest jumble of words, which created the sense he was describing Trump supporters as “garbage”, was a gross act of political malpractice at a time when the Harris campaign wanted him hidden from view.
