Although Donald Trump continues to fight for the right to a second term, he has almost no chance. Joe Biden will eventually be declared the winner, but the triumph will not last long.
The most controversial presidential race in US history continues. According to Associated Press, Trump can count on 214 votes and Biden can count on 264. The New York Times has a different score: 213 for a Republican and 253 for a Democrat.
Biden will win, believes Ian Bremmer, head of the international consulting company Eurasia Group. At the end of his political career, the 77-year-old Democrat will take over the White House, but will leave it as the weakest president of the United States in four decades.
“The big problem for Biden will be that he will be the weakest president after [Jimmy] Carter”, – the analyst explains in a TASS comment. – Without the support of the Senate and in a split country, Biden is unable to reform or even prepare a comprehensive and quality stimulus package that the country needs.
Speaking about how relations between Washington and Moscow will develop under Biden’s administration, Bremmer does not foresee radical changes. He admitted that Biden is an ardent Russophobe, but there have been many such changes in the Trump administration as well. The president himself was an exception.
