The situation at the frontline in Ukraine could have a serious impact on the positions of US presidential candidates from the Democratic and Republican parties. A successful counter-offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine will greatly help, in particular, Joe Biden.
ThisChannel 24 was told by journalist, political analyst from the United States Armen Chibukhchyan. According to him, Ukraine should closely follow the presidential elections in the United States, which will be held in 2024.
What can be expected from the upcoming US elections
< p>As Chibukhchyan noted, many analysts argue that Donald Trump has no chance of becoming president. However, this should not be based on forecasts. It is better to evaluate all possible options.
It is important with what slogans the Republicans will go to the polls. If Trump is the main candidate, then he will put spokes in the wheels of assistance to Ukraine. But there is another situation. There is a certain trend that Biden's biggest problem is his age. Americans want a younger president. And it's not Trump either. After all, they are about the same age,” Chibukhchyan noted.
According to various polls, if Trump goes to the polls from the Republicans, then Biden has a high chance of being re-elected. But if Ross DeSantis is the opponent, then Biden has little chance. In addition, there is information that former Vice President Mike Pence or former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo will also try to run as Republicans.
It is very important which wing wins against the Republicans. The Trumpist wing will promote the theses of not helping Ukraine, and the other will oppose Trump. Therefore, it is logical that the position on aid will be different,” Chibukhchyan noted.
In his opinion, the result of the US presidential election will also depend on the situation at the front. If the counteroffensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is successful, Biden will receive a high rating. But if the Republican candidate wins, it will also be difficult for them to stop aid to Ukraine in the event of a successful counteroffensive.
