Donald Trump is divisive, and the reactions in Isère to the re-election of businessman as president of the United States are too. The billionaire is at the gates of the White House this Wednesday morning, after having won several decisive states, to the point of claiming a “political victory never seen in our country“. Emmanuel Macron addressed his “Congratulations”saying to himself “ready to work together as we have been able to do for four years“during the Republican's first term.
In Isère, reactions are very mixed depending on the political camps. For the EELV MP for Isère Cyrielle Chatelain, it is a massive blow. “Donald Trump's victory is a cataclysm, a worrying shadow over our future” estimates the president of the environmental group in the Assembly.
At the other end of the political spectrum, the RN deputy for Isère Alexis Jolly conversely welcomes the victory of Donald Trump, believing that he “had the people with him“.
The count is still in progress but a defeat for Kamala Harris, the 60-year-old Democratic candidate and vice-president, seems almost certain, given the decisive states that have fallen into the hands of the 78-year-old tribune.
