The growing conflict, fueled by a Trump impeachment investigation, signals almost certainly another year of US division because of political struggles.

But polls show that the United States cannot be more divided today. The latest forecast from the political science team at the University of Virginia suggests that the race to the White House in 2020 will have a draw result, each party won only 248 electoral votes, missing 22 votes to reach 270. votes help lead to the final victory.

The split is also reflected in the lower house, where a vote was conducted on October 31 to formalize the Trump impeachment investigation with 232 positive and 196 negative votes.

The results opened up a public stage in Trump's investigation, after he was accused of urging Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to investigate Joe Biden, the top candidate of the Democratic Party on the race to the White House in 2020. , for personal political purposes.

Although every Republican member in the lower house voted against the impeachment investigation, Trump still faces the risk of losing public support. According to a recent poll, 50% of Americans believe Trump should be impeached and deposed.

In order to protect himself from the impeachment investigation, Trump is intensifying the launching of counter-attacks but is inclined to the tendency of personal attacks, experts said.

Speaking at a campaign in Tupelo, Mississippi, on Tuesday, Trump called Democratic leaders "mentally violent" and dismissed the party presidential candidate. Democracy Joe Biden "is becoming increasingly sluggish".

In the face of an ostentatious and unreserved President Trump, Democratic candidates are struggling to attract attention from the public.

Psychological anxiety is increasing in the Democratic Party when they currently do not have a really outstanding candidate enough to confront the Republican President.

"Our number one goal is to remove Trump from the White House but you cannot win the election just by fighting someone," said Doug Wood, a supporter of former Vice President Biden, on November 3 at the meeting. campaigning in Virginia.

The unspecified allegations that Trump made against Biden and his son in one way or another still have an impact on rescuing the US vice president. Despite still leading the way in most national polls, Biden fell to No. 4 in terms of support in the important state of Iowa, according to a poll published by the New York Times on November 1.

The poll put Senator Elizabeth Warren at number one with 22% support, followed by Senator Bernie Sanders, 19%, Mayor of South Bend, Indiana, Pete Buttigieg, 18%, who leading by former Vice President Biden one percentage point.

However, many Democrats are concerned that Warren and Sanders' excessive liberalism makes it difficult for them to win nationally while Buttigieg is unlikely to be able to expand his support beyond the black voters. white, free.

In all of the political debates, the Democratic Party's message about health care, gun control and immigration reform could not resonate.

"In the short term, the impeachment investigation will take over Washington and the political news and hurt candidates who are trying to rise to the top," said Chris Arterton, a political science professor at George Washington University, commented.

House committees pursuing the impeachment investigation of Trump have heard a series of witnesses expressing anxiety over suspicion that the US President asked Ukraine to investigate rival Biden and his son.

Democrats hope that when they start publishing the record of private interviews with witnesses, the public will respond. In fact, a NBC / Wall Street Journal poll found that 49% of Americans now believe Trump should be impeached and deposed, up 6 percentage points after three weeks.

At the Mississippi rally, however, Trump said impeachment discussions would help him. "The Republicans are really strong," Trump said, referring to the appearance of a "wave of rage" within the party.

For now, analysts still predict that even if Democrats vote to impeach Trump, the Senate with the majority Republican will "release" him.

"No one really believes that Trump will be ousted in the Senate," said Larry Sabato, director of the University of Virginia Political Center. "So the Democrats should better focus on the election campaign."

According to Sabato, Democrats should hope that by the time the election takes place, the public has become too tired of what the US President shows and turns to support them.

"Only Trump can beat Trump," he said.
