On November 5, 2024, the U.S. presidential election will take place. The Republican candidate for this office is Donald Trump. A few years ago, his participation in the presidential race was in question following the storming of the Capitol on January 6, 2021, just before the certification of the previous election results in each state. Many Republicans prefer not to recall this incident. Nevertheless, in July 2024, Trump became the sole candidate for U.S. president from the Republican Party. He was expected to face the current president, Joe Biden, from the Democratic Party. However, in June, after an unsuccessful debate with Trump, donors and Democratic leaders began pressuring Biden to withdraw his candidacy. Nearly a month later, Biden stepped out of the race. At the end of August, Vice President Kamala Harris officially became the Democratic Party’s candidate for U.S. president.
A few weeks before the election, Trump and Harris are nearly tied. Both candidates are working hard to mobilize their voters. Harris is focusing on moderate Republicans and Black men, adjusting her strategy and drawing on her prosecutorial experience. Trump is appearing in interviews with influencers and on streaming platforms. At the same time, his team is already carefully preparing to challenge the election results in various states in court.
Nataliya Gumenyuk speaks with American journalist Christian Caryl about whether Trump is truly a threat, what Ukraine can expect from him, what Kamala Harris’s policy on Ukraine might be, Trump’s affection for dictators, why Harris may fare better than Hillary Clinton, and the key challenges facing the candidates vying for the White House for the next four years.
