• United States faces pivotal elections, with possible ideological shifts and preservation of the liberal order at stake.
• The high polarization, assassination attempts on Donald Trump, and abrupt switch from Joe Biden to Kamala Harris have marked the campaign.
• A Trump win could signal an authoritarian shift, with geopolitical implications and erosion of the rule of law.
• If Trump wins, right-wing populist forces in Europe would grow and global trade relations, as well as the resolution of conflicts in Ukraine and Middle East would be affected.
• Electoral results sabotage by Trump, such as the 2021 Capitol assault, represents a challenge to democracy.

Conclusion: These elections could define not only the future of the United States but also the global balance, especially with regard to liberal democracy and the rule of law.
