Why are Democrats sweating to defeat Trump?

 

Voting in the US presidential election is on Tuesday, November 5. Whatever ultimately happened, it's clear that the election campaign didn't go as smoothly as Democrats had hoped. Instead, they had to sweat to deal with Donald Trump. Although they hoped that Trump was over. In the end, the Republican candidate lost the election, proving that he was not 'incompetent' due to the fierce competition. Although a question arises as to how he is still such a strong competitor? The simplest answer is that the national political environment is not as conducive to democratic victory as it is thought to be. News from New York Times 

Trump is clearly a headache for Democrats in this election. In the latest New York Times/Siena College poll, only 40 percent of voters are satisfied with President Joe Biden's job and only 28 percent say the country is headed in the right direction. While most Americans are dissatisfied with the country or the president, his party has not been able to retain control of the White House. 

Polls suggest the challenge for Democrats is more multifaceted. For the first time in decades, Republicans are running evenly across the country. Polls identify democracy and abortion as key challenges for Republicans. And the Democrats' challenge also appears to be part of a larger trend of political struggle for ruling parties in the developed world. 

Voters are eager for change when they get the chance. Ruling parties in the UK, Germany, Italy, Australia and, more recently, Japan have suffered electoral setbacks or lost power. Trump also lost four years ago. France and Canada may also join this list. 

Although some things vary by country and party, most of the picture is the same. High inflation caused by the Corona pandemic and multiple wars has left voters angry and frustrated almost everywhere in the world. That is why the ruling parties are failing to retain their popularity. 
Democrats have leaned to the right in recent years on issues like immigration, energy and crime. They played a traditional liberal role in expanding the social safety net. But whatever the outcome, the days of liberal ascendancy in American politics are coming to an end. 

Democrats and liberalism have dominated American politics since 2008. Democrats have won four consecutive presidential elections by large margins. They saved the car industry and spent billions on renewable energy, infrastructure and more. 

But rational or not, post-pandemic developments have had serious implications for liberalism. Inflation and high interest rates have angered a large number of people. A lax policy on the influx of migrants can also be blamed for this. Apart from this, issues such as the increase in the number of homeless people and disorder are also included. 

Democrats entered the White House in 2008 with a 40-year long list of policies on issues ranging from health care and climate to immigration and unions. They have worked on this agenda for the last 16 years. But many voters are still not satisfied with the state of the country. Democrats' loss of voter confidence and growing grip on issues have given Republicans a better chance of victory. 

If Trump wins, a big reason for this will be voter disillusionment with Democrats. Despite serious objections to him, many voters are reluctant to give Democrats another chance. If he loses, the explanation will be equally simple. This will prove that voters still want to see democracy above all else. But when historians look back, they conclude that the liberal rise is already over.
