Answer:The Evil That Men Do Lives After them
ROME (IDN) – Now it is clear that Joe Biden is the new president of the United States. It is unlikely that Donald Trump’s legal manoeuvring will change the election results, as when a conservative Supreme Court in 2000 decided in favour of George Bush over Al Gore, who lost by 535 votes. Not even this Supreme Court, where Trump has six sympathetic members (three appointed by him, quite a record), and only three unsympathetic, will dare to change a result coming from too many states.
Biden’s victory comes from unusually high participation in the presidential election which attracted 67 per cent of voters. Participation in American elections rarely exceeds 50 per cent, although the largest participation was in 1900 when 73 per cent of the population voted.
Biden won the largest popular vote in US history: 71.4 million compared with the 69.4 million obtained by Barack Obama. Nevertheless, Trump gathered 68.3 million votes, nearly four million more than in 2016, in spite of a pandemic which, until now, has left more than 230.000 dead, with the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression, and after four years of confrontations, some massive, like Black Lives Matter. He doubled the votes of the LGBT community, he obtained 18 per cent of Afro-American votes, white woman increased their vote for him by six per cent, and he won Florida thanks to Latino votes (Cubans, Venezuelans and to a lesser extent Puerto Ricans).
