THE USA BEFORE THE ELECTIONS A rematch between Donald Trump and Joe Biden for the presidency of the USA has already been decided before the primaries have even finished. The fact that Donald Trump has any chance at all of winning these elections is partly due to the US electoral system, in which the presidency is not determined by direct election but by the votes of electors from the states in the Electoral College. The question is whether and why Trump really has serious chances in this election, despite breaches of the law and legal proceedings, and how Joe Biden and the Democrats intend to secure the re-election of the incumbent president. But it is also about elections to the US Congress as well as numerous elections in the states in which majorities of votes decide. These elections will also determine the future of the country, as the country's governability is at stake due to the radicalisation of the Republican Party.<\/p>\n Welcome and framing In dialogue <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Eva Nowotny, Raimund L\u00f6w, Mitchell Ash DIE USA VOR DEN WAHLEN Trump versus\u00a0 Biden und dar\u00fcber hinaus Schon vor Abschluss der Vorwahlen steht ein Rematch zwischen Donald Trump und Joe Biden um die Wahl zum Pr\u00e4sidenten der USA fest.
