This Tuesday, November 5, American citizens who have not voted by mail will have to go to the polls to vote for the electors who will themselves nominate the future president of the United States. Americans living in Aude, or Audeis living in the United States, give their views on this major election.
Big day for American citizens, this Tuesday, November 5, since they will have to elect the new President of the United States. Who will be elected, Kamala Harris or Donald Trump? Very clever who could say it, since this election promises to be very close, in particular thanks to the American electoral system, where citizens do not vote directly for their president but for electors who then nominate the new Potus themselves.
If the first results should fall during the night of Tuesday to Wednesday, around 5 a.m. French time, we will probably have to wait several more days to have the final results. This major election is therefore being followed very closely throughout the world, and also by the Americans of Aude, and the Audois of America, who are waiting, with impatience and a certain fear, to know who is Kamala Harris or Donald Trump will be the 47th President of the United States. They agreed to deliver their analyzes and observations to L'Indépendant.
Reed Brody, former deputy district attorney for the State of New York, has been based in Montolieu for several years, but votes in Pennsylvania, one of the swing states that could tip the scales in favor of one or the other candidates. It describes one of the electoral campaigns “the most intense” lived for a long time.

Fred and Margot arrived in Limoux 7 years ago, and are carefully watching the American election. They hope for Trump's defeat as much as they fear it. If the Republican candidate loses, they fear an episode of violence like the assault on the Capitol in January 2021, which took place in a context of contestation of the result of the 2020 elections.
