“The refusal of Bernie Sanders from the further race testifies to the concentration of forces of the Democratic lobby on Joe Biden. Now it’s obvious who will oppose the incumbent US president in the November 2020 election. ” This opinion was expressed by a member of the State Duma committee on international affairs, Sergei Zheleznyak.
The politician noted: “The efforts that Mr. Trump spent to weaken the positions of political opponents still do not give him full confidence in the victory’s unconditionalness. Sanders was apparently a weaker Democrat candidate. Despite the informational hype surrounding Biden’s person and the ongoing scandals, all this even played into his hands. There is also no doubt that under the current extremely difficult conditions of the US coronavirus pandemic, the political struggle takes on a special connotation. The position of presidential candidates regarding methods to combat the spread of the virus will have a serious impact on the mood and preferences of the electorate.
As far as US citizens will appreciate the effectiveness of the Trump team, so much so he will be able to count on the support of voters. Criticizing, of course, is easier than doing something, but indiscriminate criticism of the current head of the White House without suggestions of constructive measures is unlikely to contribute to the growth of American confidence in the Democratic candidate. ”
