Preparations for the U.S. presidential elections are ramping up. With Nikki Haley bowing out, the race now narrows to Trump versus Biden.
In the Super Tuesday primaries on March 6th, Trump overwhelmingly triumphed in most states such as Virginia and California. Riding high on this victory, he has challenged Biden to debate.
Trump Challenges Biden
Trump’s challenge to Biden aims to bring pivotal American issues to the forefront. The former president is ready to spar on any stage, and his post-primary self-assuredness contrasts sharply with his 2020 electoral loss to Biden.
Last election, significant reasons contributed to Trump's defeat, including multiple allegations ranging from the misuse of power to sexual misconduct, with over 34 charges leveled against him.
A notorious accusation was the hoarding of sensitive files at his Mar-a-Lago estate. The FBI is investigating whether these documents endangered national security.
Trump was also accused of preempting the 2020 election outcome, repeatedly misrepresented election facts, and faced extensive criticism during the #MeToo movement when numerous women accused him of sexual assault. Furthermore, Trump was fined $130,000 following serious allegations from former adult film actress Stormy Daniels.
However, the landscape differs greatly today, with local and global contexts having shifted. This time, Trump is convinced that he will deliver a decisive blow to Biden in the polls.
Among the decisive issues Trump plans to target are the immigration stances of the Biden administration, contrasting it with his own hardline approach during his presidency.
Anecdotal evidence shows that Americans valued Trump’s economic policies over the current administration’s, which is facing criticism for economic downturns amidst various international conflicts, including the Israel-Hamas skirmishes and the Russia-Ukraine war.
