Miscellany on the eve of a blue tsunami in the US
Nov. 3 in the United States is midterm election day, indeed the most critical midterm election of my lifetime, as U.S. voters will pass judgment on President Donald Trump and the MAGA movement. Alas, my editor did me no favors by setting me a Nov. 4 (Korea time) publication date for my monthly column. That is, here in Seoul, my deadline is during the election, which means I don’t have any results…
As the United States approaches its midterm election day on November 3, the focus turns to a pivotal moment in recent history. This election will determine the fate of President Donald Trump and the MAGA movement, making it the most crucial midterm in the reporter's lifetime.
However, the reporter faces a unique challenge, as their column is scheduled for publication on November 4, during the actual voting day. This means the results will not be available for analysis until after the election, leaving the reporter unable to make predictions beforehand. The election's outcome appears to be a foregone conclusion, and anniversaries or scheduled events often provide rich material for columnists.
Despite the lack of fresh predictions, the reporter acknowledges their responsibility to provide some prognostication and miscellaneous observations about U.S. politics. They emphasize the importance of accountability when making predictions, as it allows them to be held responsible for the accuracy of their statements.
The reporter's focus shifts to the expected results of the election. They predict that the Democrats will secure approximately 52% of the vote. This figure is based on the current political landscape and the ongoing debates surrounding President Trump and the MAGA movement.
