Will light overcome darkness in America?

In exactly one week, there will be a presidential election in the United States, where the current vice president, Mrs. Kamala Harris, and the former president, Mr. Donald Trump, will face each other. It has become clear from all the news and broadcasts that the United States is a badly divided country. The next host or hostess of the White House will play a decisive role in whether this country and multicultural nation will be united towards national unity.

Right now, I feel like too many people may be voting with emotion, they don't want to give any weight to the sensible. Many betting companies are voting for Trump, on the other hand, in the polls, the support of the candidates is very even, if not even equal. One thing is certain – the world will be excited about this election result, along with the entire American people, from start to finish.

When current President Biden withdrew from his candidacy, I imagined Trump cruising to an easy victory. Anyway, politics is such a special "sport" that there are always big surprises. Mrs. Harris has surprised us all with her own agenda and appearances. Few of us imagined that she would be the one to challenge the ill-mannered Trump. Fortunately, all of us doubters were wrong, Mrs. Harris may be elected to the White House in a week.

I have been surprised by the lack of themes in these elections – very little has been discussed about climate change or foreign policy. Both candidates have mainly been looking for "silent or lost" voters in their appearances. Of course, both have remembered to bash each other, that's part of the American election style. Trump has mostly hated immigrants and used hate speech as a powerful tool in his appearances. Harris's campaign has been based, among other things, on the defense of abortion rights and the fact that she looks to the future, not the past.

Although I am not allowed to vote in the US elections, I can tell you my opinion on who I would vote for in a week. For me, gender has never mattered in politics, and it doesn't matter now. Trump is a grumpy, mischievous old man, for whom the world is basically a playground. Fraternizing with dictators has not increased his credibility. That's why my vote would go to Mrs. Kamala Harris. I think she is a competent and likeable woman. The world needs a leader, who respects allies and doesn't surprise them in a nasty way. We need stability in the leadership of the United States.
