American presidential election: “America has given us an unprecedented and powerful mandate,” declared Donald Trump in a speech to his supporters in his campaign headquarters in Florida while he is now credited with 266 electoral votes, compared to 219 for his Democratic rival. Kamala Harris. The Republicans also took control of the Senate. The Fox News television network projected the victory of the Republican candidate against the incumbent Democratic Vice President Kamala
Harris, ahead of several of the so-called “swing states” considered decisive for the vote. Kamala Harris, for her part, did not speak in front of her supporters, gathered at Howard University, which traditionally welcomes African-American students, in Washington.
For Axel Gyldén, senior reporter at Express, Donald Trump had clear messages that corresponded to the wishes of Americans: purchasing power and immigration. Kamala Harris had a speech that hesitated between several axes.
For Philippe Golub, professor of international relations, “identity politics on the Democratic side have shown their inability to mobilize the American population.”
