Days after going to the polls the United States remains in electoral limbo. Dozens of elections for the House of Representatives still remain undecided, while control of the Senate is also up in the air as two narrow races are still counting their votes.
Just like in 2020 multiple battleground states have had controversial outages of their voting machines and surveillance equipment, leading to more questions by candidates and voters about the integrity of America’s elections.
Projections show that Republicans will take the House, while the Senate will likely come down to a runoff vote next month.
Democrats are trying to spin the idea that “they could have lost worse” as a positive outcome, but without definite results political life is on hold, with major consequences.
President Joe Biden indicated he will run for re-election even though a recent poll showed that 72% of the United States doesn’t want him to run, and that includes 56% of Democrats.
Ex-president Donald Trump continues to separate himself from the mainstream Republican leadership as he’s expected to announce next week that he’s running in 2024, refusing to wait until after the crucial Georgia Senate runoff vote next month.
The latest inflation numbers barely edged downwards, meaning that the average American is now suffering from both political and economic instability. Mass layoffs, which had been delayed until after the elections, have already started as the world keeps moving forward even if America’s election results do not.
