An Election that has had a clear winner, Joe\nBiden, who has been the most voted candidate in all of history, although with a\nmuch tighter result than the polls expected &#8211; just over 100,000 votes gathered\nin five states have tilt the scales &#8211; which gives the incumbent president more\nthan 70 million votes. Donald Trump is then the most voted Republican candidate\nin history, despite a term characterized by systematic lies, personal\ndisqualifications, and institutional disruption towards the multilateral\nsystem, a lack of empathy for the more than 200,000 dead due to COVID-19 pandemic\nand a supremacist, macho and xenophobic discourse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As for the analysis of results, we point out some\ndemographic figures based on the data provided by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.realclearpolitics.com\/\"><em>RealClearPolitics<\/em><\/a>, a\nwebsite specialized in US politics. Much has been written during the campaign\nabout the women\u2019s vote, considered key to defeating Trump, but in the end, the\nsurprise came from men. Trump has improved his 2016 result among women by one\npoint, while his support has dropped four points among men.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, 64% of whites voters without a\ncollege degree voted for Trump, compared to 35% for Biden. When elected as the\nDemocratic candidate, one of Biden&#8217;s most compelling arguments was that he\nwould win back the votes of white workers disenchanted with the Democrats. He\nhas succeeded as evidenced by winning the Rust Belt states. In 2016 only 28% of\nwhite workers voted for Clinton, seven points less than they did for Biden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of the most surprising data is that Trump is the\nRepublican candidate who has obtained the best result among African-American\nvoters since 1996: 12%, one in eight black voters, despite his discourse\ndenying the inequalities and structural racism in North American society, which\nis crudely manifested in the episodes of police violence against this\ncommunity. Trump has improved his 2016 result by four points and this just\nafter a convulsed summer by the Black Lives Matter protests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The excellent result of Trump among the Hispanic\ncommunity also stands out. This was already the case in 2016, but now Biden has\nperformed worse than Hillary Clinton did. Where Biden did excel is among young\npeople. There has been no more mobilization, they represent more or less the\nsame proportion of the electorate as four years ago, but they have voted much\nmore for Biden. If the former secretary of state got 55% of voters aged 18 to\n29, the percentage for Biden has risen to 62%. Finally, another key aspect in\nTrump&#8217;s defeat has been the Evangelicals, who massively turned to him in 2016.\nFour years ago, 80% of the Evangelical community voted for him, compared to 76%\nthis time while their support for Biden has risen from 16% to 23%. In such a\ntight race, these votes are crucial, especially in states like Arizona and\nNevada.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An interesting article by Fareed Zakaria in <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/opinions\/once-again-democrats-have-misunderstood-minorities\/2020\/11\/05\/6d55d668-1fa6-11eb-ba21-f2f001f0554b_story.html\">The\nWashington Post<\/a> <\/em>completes this analysisby pointing out out that\nthe country remains deeply divided. After an impeachment process, a pandemic\nand the worst economic setback since the Great Depression, Trump has obtained\nthe best percentage of the vote among minorities than any Republican since\n1960. He has won, as we said, the highest percentage of black vote since 1996\nand 35% among the Muslim vote. Zakaria lists several possible answers. Many of\nthese groups have thrived for most of Trump&#8217;s presidency and seem not to blame\nhim for the pandemic and the ensuing economic collapse. Zakaria also argues\nthat this lays on the multiculturalist ideology of the Democratic Party that\nbrings together a wide variety of ethnic, racial and religious groups and\napproaches the problem from a perspective that does not fit with each one of\nthem. The Democratic approach comes from a diagnosis born out of the\ndiscriminatory treatment given to African Americans that does not quite fit\nwith immigrants and their descendants. Indeed, these other immigrants, almost\nall of them voluntarily arrived in the United States, and not in chains, have\nhad a very different experience. Although they have also had to face\ndiscrimination and exclusion, in general they have found a country more open\nand receptive to foreigners than in most other places, while many of them try\nto assimilate by marking the distances with immigrants that are more recent and\nwith African Americans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These results give a very clear image of the US as\nexplained by Fred Kaplan in the magazine <a href=\"https:\/\/slate.com\/news-and-politics\/2020\/11\/trumpism-election-results-america.html\"><em>Slate.\n<\/em><\/a>&nbsp;Beyond\nthe logical political and ideological differences, both parties seem to live in\ndifferent universes. One side observes facts, respects science, and values\ndemocracy and civility; the other universe does not. Moreover, both look at each\nother with fervid contempt. Trump has ended up losing, but Kaplan predicts that\nTrumpism will last for a long time. Insofar as the leader of one of the two\nparties was not ashamed to reveal his selfishness, to show his indifference to\nthe suffering of others, all this has led many people feeling that they no\nlonger have to be ashamed of being and thinking as he does. Ultimately, Trump\nis the priest who redeems the selfish by telling them that compassion is only a\nvalue of the culture of the elites that they hate so much. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, Ross Douthat\nwonders in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2020\/11\/07\/opinion\/sunday\/is-there-a-trumpism-after-trump.html?action=click&amp;module=Opinion&amp;pgtype=Homepage\"><em>The New York Times<\/em><em> <\/em><\/a>&nbsp;about the possibility of Trumpism without\nTrump. He points out that his presidency has paved the way for a multi-ethnic,\nmiddle-class and populist conservatism. At the same time, the great result\nobtained despite the defeat means that there is a possibility for a conservative\nmajority, a multi-ethnic, middle-class and populist coalition, dynamic and\nexpansive, instead of a white and aged one. The fact that Trump held up so well\nand gathered more than 70 million votes makes it less likely that Republican\ncandidates for the succession will try to return to the policies of 2012. On\nthe contrary, this may lead them to reassemble their populist coalition,\ninstead of trying to rebuild the party around the upper middle class, as is now\nthe trend of the Democrats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This raises some questions about the room of manoeuvre\nof the new president, With a Senate still dominated by the Republicans\n(currently the composition is 50-48 in favour of the GOP, waiting for the two\nrunoff elections to be held in Georgia in January), a Congress where Democrats\nhave lost representatives, and a Supreme Court with a clear conservative\nmajority. These are the\ndoubts expressed by most of the media consulted, from the very progressive <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thenation.com\/article\/politics\/election-democrats-biden\/\"><em>The\nNation<\/em><\/a> to the very conservative <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/7eef4ec9-0dc5-4880-bb89-1fc83a72ad84\"><em>Financial\nTimes<\/em><\/a><em>. <\/em>For the former, the problems uncovered by the Trump\npresidency run very deep and, due to his long history and preference for\nmoderate politics, Biden is ill equipped to handle deep-rooted problems such as\npolice violence and economic inequality. For the latter, Biden will be very\nlucky to get things done on his agenda, such as expanding health insurance,\nlarge investments in green technology and free tuition for middle-class college\nstudents. Instead, they believe there is no chance that Biden could end\nRepublican filibustering in the Senate, add new states to the Federation, such\nas Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia, or expand the number of the Supreme\nCourt judges to try to offset its conservative bias. At the same time, Biden\nwill still have to face the latest attacks from a very strong Trump, who does\nnot want to concede defeat and who can stretch the recounting for weeks.\nEverything shows that the outgoing president is unlikely to agree to cooperate\nduring the next eleven weeks of transition. Trump\u2019s ghost thus hovers over\nBiden&#8217;s America. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yascha Mounk is more\noptimistic in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theatlantic.com\/ideas\/archive\/2020\/11\/joe-biden-wins\/616960\/\"><em>The Atlantic,<\/em><em> <\/em><\/a>&nbsp;where he regrets that Donald Trump\nhas caused unnecessary suffering on a surprising scale and has subjected the\ncountry&#8217;s democratic institutions to a strain never seen in the last century.\nFor Mounk, the voters have prevented an authoritarian populist from destroying\ndemocratic institutions and a competent and decent administration is now about\nto enter the White House. Although the deep problems will not go away, the 46th\npresident of the United States will undoubtedly work to combat rather than\nminimize the danger that the COVID-19 pandemic still presents, to improve\nrather than endanger the lives of immigrants and minorities and uniting rather\nthan dividing Americans. Finally, Robin Givhan highlights in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/nation\/2020\/11\/07\/kamala-harris-made-history-with-quiet-exquisite-power\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>The Washington Post<\/em><em> <\/em><\/a>&nbsp;the figure of\nthe new vice president-elect Kamala Harris and considers this historic moment\nof liberation, as a silent catharsis. She also stresses that if this now seems\nso normal and reasonable it is because many women have been leading the way for\nmany years, generations of women, black, Asian, white, Latina, Native American\nwomen who throughout history have raided the way. Women who fought and\nsacrificed for equality and freedom and justice for all, including black women too\noften despised but who in the words of the new vice president are the backbone\nof American democracy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another important issue\nis the legacy left by the four years of Trumpism. Matt Ford, from the pages of <a href=\"https:\/\/newrepublic.com\/article\/160059\/trump-lame-duck-transition-government-sabotage\"><em>The<\/em><em> New Republic<\/em><\/a>, warns that\nTrump still has a term of office of about two and a half months, during which\nhe will still have control of the executive and is quite unpredictable.\nNormally, this period serves the President to finalize pending issues. However,\nwith Trump, it could be different: his exacerbated selfishness when it comes to\nexercising power could make the transition very chaotic, since right now he can\nact without fear of the political and electoral consequences of his actions. For\nexample, the funding and work of more than 4,000 federal officials still\ndepends on his government until the new president takes office. He could also\ntry to protect his allies from judicial investigations, fire high-level\nofficials, or force some federal departments to finalize pending changes. All\nthis mixed with some allegations of fraud that have no basis and legal\nresources with which Trump intends, if not to retain the presidency, at least\nto discredit and dismiss Biden&#8217;s victory as illegitimate and to build a\nnarrative and a possible scenario in order to run for president four years from\nnow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As Nicholas Kristof\npoints out in a harsh article in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2020\/11\/04\/opinion\/donald-trump-election-2020.html\"><em>The New\nYork Times<\/em><\/a><em>, <\/em>the outgoing president himself\nis sabotaging his country&#8217;s institutions and the peaceful transfer of powers.\nAlthough it is difficult to think that the Supreme Court, no matter how\npoliticized it has become, is going to join in such a farce, Trump has already\nmanaged to cast doubts on the elections and destabilize the country. A last\nattack, then, against the integrity of the North American electoral system and\nthe transfer of powers, which is a litmus test for democracy, after years of\nlies and attempts to discredit the democratic system. A legacy that leads <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2020\/11\/05\/opinion\/joe-biden-senate-mitch-mcconnell.html?action=click&amp;module=Opinion&amp;pgtype=Homepage\">Paul Krugman <\/a>to consider whether the United States is becoming a\nfailed state. He points out several questions about whether, once elected, Joe\nBiden will be able to rule if the Senate remains in the hands of a Republican\nParty that will sabotage his initiatives in every possible way, just as he did\nduring the Obama years. Ultimately, he believes that Trump&#8217;s defeat means that,\nfor the moment, the US has avoided falling into authoritarianism, but the risks\nstill remain, not only because of Trump&#8217;s character, but also because the\ncurrent Republican Party is more extreme and undemocratic than in previous\ndecades. Krugman concludes that, if we were talking about another foreign\ncountry with the same level of political dysfunction as the United States, it\nwould surely be considered a failed state. By contrast, Jon Walsh stresses in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thenation.com\/article\/politics\/joe-biden-election\/\"><em>The Nation<\/em><em> <\/em><\/a>&nbsp;the decency and\nhonesty of Joe Biden, which has allowed him to unify the Democratic Party,\nestablish personal and political ties with the most progressive sectors and\nturn one of his toughest rivals in the primary process, Kamala Harris, in his\nvice president. He also highlights that despite COVID-19 and violent threats\nfrom some supremacist groups, the large increase in participation has saved democracy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, we must also consider the consequences of these election for\nEurope and the rest of the world. In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lavanguardia.com\/politica\/20201105\/49250424109\/espectaculo-norteamericano-hara-crecer-tension-politica-espana.html\"><em>La Vanguardia,<\/em><\/a> Enric Juliana analyses the result from a Spanish point\nof view and argues that it will accentuate the political polarization, where according\nto the Trumpian doctrine, the disqualification of the Government as\n&#8220;illegitimate&#8221; is already one of the pillars of the opposition since\nlast January. Although he has lost the presidency, Trumpism will surely\nconsolidate itself as a new political expression of societies threatened by\nprecariousness, disarticulation and uprooting. Therefore, Vox, the most\nTrumpist party in all of Europe, has no incentive to surrender to the umpteenth\nturn to the centre of the PP. Matthew Karnitschnig does the same from a\nEuropean point of view in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.eu\/article\/donald-trump-or-joe-biden-europe-is-the-loser\/\"><em>Politico,<\/em><em> <\/em><\/a>&nbsp;where he points out that the great\ndivision of the US may diminish European hopes of improving the transatlantic\nrelationship. The United States seems not to be a reliable partner with this\ndegree of polarization and relations have been unfailingly transformed from\nalliances of the past. Thus, while formal transatlantic relations must\nnecessarily improve under the Biden presidency, on the other hand, the\nambitious agenda that many European leaders have regarding environmental\npolicy, trade and defence, seems for the moment, out of reach. This for a\ndouble reason. Not only is Biden lacking a strong mandate given Trump&#8217;s 70\nmillion votes, but it seems likely that Congress will remain divided, as\nDemocrats will control the House of Representatives and Republicans will\ncontrol the Senate. Without a majority in both houses of Congress, the\npresident &#8211; as it has been the case with Obama and Trump \u2013 cannot implement much\nof his legislative agenda. Within this context, the article by Joe Biden\nrepublished in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foreignaffairs.com\/articles\/united-states\/2020-01-23\/why-america-must-lead-again?utm_medium=promo_email&amp;utm_source=special_send&amp;utm_campaign=election_newsletter&amp;utm_content=20201107&amp;utm_term=newsletter-prerelease\"><em>Foreign Affairs<\/em><em> <\/em><\/a>&nbsp;is\na must read. It reveals the new president&#8217;s foreign policy\nstrategy, with the significant title &#8220;Why America Must Lead Again&#8221;. Biden\nbegins stating that, on almost every issue, the credibility and influence of\nthe United States in the world has diminished since President Barack Obama left\noffice in January 2017. President Donald Trump has belittled, weakened and, in\nsome cases, abandoned America&#8217;s allies and partners. It has fuelled enemies and\nadversaries and spoiled the strategy to respond to security challenges from\nNorth Korea to Iran, from Syria to Afghanistan and Venezuela. More importantly,\nit has moved away from the democratic values \u200b\u200bthat sustain the United States\nand unify them as a people. Meanwhile, the global challenges the United States\nfaces, from climate change and mass migration to technological expansion and\ninfectious diseases, have become more complex and urgent. The swift advance of\nauthoritarianism, nationalism and anti-liberalism has undermined US ability to\nconfront them. Democracies today are paralyzed by hyper partisanship, held back\nby corruption and appear fragile in the face of the disaffection of a part of\nthe citizenry. Confidence in democratic institutions has declined, and the\ninternational system that the United States has so carefully built together\nwith its allies has worn out. Thus, Biden has vowed to reverse many of Trump&#8217;s\npolicies: swiftly re-integrating the Paris agreement on climate change, the\nWorld Health Organization, and possibly the Iran nuclear deal. He also believes\nthat it will be up to him as the new president of the United States to undertake\nan enormous task to save US international reputation, rebuild confidence in its\nleadership, and mobilize the country and its allies to face quickly new\nchallenges.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Diari de les idees devotes this special issue to the US presidential election given its global impact on democracies around the world.
