The US midterm elections officially started voting on the 8th. International media generally believe that the division of public opinion in the United States may make this midterm election the most competitive one. Before the official voting, more than 40 million voters had voted in advance, setting a new record for early voting in the midterm elections.
In order to win the final victory and win control of Congress, the Democratic Party and the Republican Party have dispatched the most powerful candidates in the party.
Democrats dispatched the Democratic Party from the vice president to the first lady, and even two former Democratic presidents, Obama and Clinton , to canvass votes for local Democratic candidates, and almost all Democratic heavyweights were "distributed".
Trump Speech in the rain
And the Republican Party is the most prestigious former President Trump in the party. "(It seems) there are two current presidents." Lee Miringov, director of the Institute of Popular Opinion at Marist College, told the American Political News Network.
So why is the midterm election so intense? This year, all 435 seats in the House need to be elected new, while the Senate needs to be elected one-third of the 100 seats, which means that 34 seats need to be elected again. In addition, 36 states will also re-elect governors this year, and many local executive and legislative bodies will also hold elections on November 8. In short, this year's midterm elections will not only directly affect the control of Congress, but will also become a weather vane for the 2024 US presidential election.
The two parties mainly fight around the three major issues of economy, abortion rights and social security that voters are concerned about.
Overall, economic issues are the main concern of the people. People are "very dissatisfied" with the current economic trend of the United States. Due to the soaring inflation rate, the cost of living has reached the highest level in 40 years. NBC National Polls show that only 44% of the respondents recognized Biden's work performance; more than 70% of the respondents believe that the United States is moving in the wrong direction.
Democrats were also dragged down, while the Republicans began to gain a relatively solid and narrow advantage. This is also confirmed by a recent poll conducted by The New York Times , with 49% of respondents saying they want to vote for Republicans and 45% want to vote for Democrats.
Vanderbilt University Presidential historian Thomas Allen Schwartz said, "If the Democrats lose badly, you may see that Biden will be strongly demanded to withdraw from the 2024 presidential election."
In addition, the results of the midterm elections will also affect the future direction of the United States' domestic and diplomatic affairs. Including the Ukrainian crisis, climate change and refugee policy, Democrats and Republicans have completely opposite views, while changes in the United States' position and policy will have an impact on the world.
The last vote for the midterm election has not been voted yet, and the political situation in the United States is still turbulent, but one thing is certain: the campaign and melee of the 2024 presidential election have begun.
@Chris Bryant:
I think I have never been so afraid of the US midterm elections. Feeling full of hatred liars and crazy conspiracy theorists may win Congress. This could put Britain, Ukraine and democracy in danger.
Below is @Gary Wilkes' reply:
Have you ever thought that if you stand on the side of 's political spectrum , you are actually promoting the breeding of hateful liars and crazy conspiracy theorists? I think you are blaming others for your own paranoia!
@SteveOnSpeed:
In the U.S. midterm elections, politicians spent a total of $16.7 billion.
If you think any politician will come to improve your life, you must be kidding.
No one will spend money to improve your life, they are just spending money to improve their lives.
@Wolf_Messing:
November 8th Blood Moon and midterm elections... great.( NASA predicts that html March total eclipse or "blood moon" will occur on 8, and both of which are ominous signs in the West.)
@Tristan Snell:
The poll results in 2016 were wrong because they missed a large number of newly registered Trump voters.
So will the 2022 poll make mistakes because it missed a large number of New Democratic voters?
Below @I'm Megstatic reply:
I also hope this is true, but early polls showed that the number of first-time voters has dropped significantly.
@Daniela Nadj:
Just watched the BBC’s panoramic report on the US midterm elections. If the Republicans gain control of both houses, the United States will be very close to fascism. It’s scary that so many people believe that Trump won the election four years ago, which is really terrible.
@Virginia Buysse:
Summary of the focus of both sides of the US midterm elections:
Republicans: Inflation , Crime, Immigration, Biden robbed the election
Democrats: Save our democracy, abortion rights, climate change, gun control
Key issues that both sides are not concerned about: The new coronavirus has caused more than 1 million deaths
@R Joseph Hebert:
I just completed my civic obligations for the midterm elections. No matter who votes you vote for, I have my opinion, but I won't force you to accept them. Go and exercise your rights and make America unique.
Bilibili Netizen @娱乐生文: The election results determine whether Biden's second two years will be a moment of progress or a lame duck, and will also affect the entire international climate.
Bilibili netizen @Unicorn Gad: I worked as a general in four years: Biden launched a war involving the Five Constant People in less than two years, and was also hitting the lifeline of Europe. Who will come up and cause chaos in the world?
Sina Weibo Netizen @Tianya Lieke 89: The ballot game has begun again. Can you choose a party that serves the people ?
Sina Weibo user @思天0517: As predicted, Biden will definitely become a lame president. Republicans will take the House of Representatives, with an estimated 228 seats.
Sina Weibo user @Dapeng Shou Yu Qianhu Institute: This midterm election is expected to cost US$16.7 billion, the most expensive in history, equivalent to the annual expenses of 249,805 American families.
Sina Weibo user @mSunQ: In fact, the Democratic Party has passed all the required bills in the past two years. They are ready to lose the Congressional controller.
Sina Weibo user @D Shangshan: The US midterm election will be a result soon. The Republican Party may win a big victory. The Republican Party opposes continuing to support Ukraine and pursues the United States first. Personally, I believe that without the support of the United States, European countries will stop supporting Ukraine, and the Russian-Ukraine crisis will usher in a turning point.
The US midterm elections reappeared in the showdown between Biden and Trump. Today, the United States is going to make a comeback
There is no doubt that November 8 is the most important day of the United States this year. The midterm elections on this day will inevitably re-dividate the political landscape of the United States and determine the direction of US policy in the next two years. Of course, we will see a torn America, which is even more severely due to the election.
Can Biden's remaining term be smooth? Regarding the midterm elections, these contents are worth paying attention to
"The United States has lost control"! British " Guardian ": US midterm elections is a dangerous moment of democracy
British "Guardian" article on November 6, original title: Dangerous moment of American democracy From one perspective, the historical significance of the US midterm elections should not be exaggerated. The ruling party usually performs poorly in the mid-term of the election cycle, especially if the current president is unpopular, the ruling party will perform worse in the mid-term, and Biden, who has a disapproval rate of up to 55%, may be another example.
