Donald Trump’s most appealing factor to many Americans is that he is an outsider when it comes to politics and being the President of the United States of America. Over a period of 4 years,Trump’s presidency has accomplished a surprising amount of success which also came as a surprise for the entire world as he is someone who has never held a political office before. His actions of attempting to spend less instead of dishing out more and more money every year is just what America needed. When Trump thinks of foreign policy he looks at things as “ AMERICA FIRST” He is mostly interested in making deals with nations that will benefit America in one way or another. His approach and vision has given America a lot of respect because they know that if they are a country like China or Iran then he will strong arm them with tarrifs until they can’t handle it anymore and will eventually have to make a deal. When it comes to Mr Trump then there is always a possibility of him being in the limelight because of the “way he speaks” A lot of people feel that if he just sat in the White House all day and kept doing what he was doing silently or probably in a more professional way and refrained himself from ranting and commenting on twitter,then he would do a lot better for himself. Trump speaks in a way that sparks outrage and he doesn’t hold back and say things in a more political way. This may seem as a pro but the truth is that he polarizes a lot of people this way and loses a lot of support. Another issue with Trump is that he craves attention. Whether or not he’s doing a good job as the President, it’s clear that he just wants to be in the spotlight and has a large ego that he has trouble admitting to.
On the other hand Joe Biden has lots of political experience. He has served in the Senate on many committees and chaired a few of them. He most notably served as the Vice President of the United States of America for 8 years. He is fairly moderate in his approach and has always appealed to a lot of voters. He is not a radical and has a fair enough chance to get a lot more votes than many of his Democratic candidate rivals. He has had a very long history of being in politics which shows that the issues he is fighting for have had the power to greatly impact for many years but simply couldn’t get it done. These issues should have been resolved with him being in power for 8 years. If not solved then he should have atleast made more progress on them. His strong points are procrastinating,makes promises he never keeps, he is absent-minded and has dementia as well.
The latest NPR Battleground Map released this week shows that Trump is slipping and Biden is expanding his advantage in the key states. Democrats are favored to retain control of the House, and Republicans are worried about losing the Senate. Biden was polling at 49.7% against Trump on 5thMarch in the Five Thirty Eight average of the polls As of 7th August,it's 49.9%. Donald Trump's support has declined. In early March, Trump was at 45.6% against Biden. Now it's down to 42.1%. Already, the Trump campaign has tried repeated attacks, trying to tie Biden to the "radical" left and saying that crime would run rampant if Biden wins. Biden's voters are far more motivated to vote against Trump than for Biden, and that may be enough.
