Editorial: El País

  • The United States goes to vote after the longest, costliest, and most violent electoral race in memory.
  • Politics in the U.S. has become an existential struggle for the principles that uphold Western democracies.
  • Donald Trump is running a third time, with leadership based not on capacity, but on fanatical messianism.
  • Trump has politically survived several judicial processes, and he has a possibility to win again.
  • Vice President Kamala Harris has the responsibility to repeat Joe Biden's victory in order to rebuild politics.

Conclusion: The elections in the United States are a decision between supporting the democratic system or going against it, under the influence of self-styled 'Trumpism'.
