George Washington University professor Mauricio Moura revealed during his participation in the program WW this Monday (21) that former president Donald Trump is the most rejected opposition candidate in the history of the United States, with a rejection rate of over 53%. Despite this high rate, Moura highlighted that Trump’s support base remains extremely solid.
According to the expert, Trump’s campaign strategy is clearly focused on emphasizing that Kamala Harris’ potential presidency would represent a continuation of currently poorly managed issues, such as immigration and inflation. “Remembering that inflation is falling in the United States, but the perception regarding the price level makes people feel that they are no longer buying what they used to buy”, explained Moura.
Campaign challenges
The professor pointed out that the biggest challenge for Trump’s campaign is expanding his electoral base. Although smaller than the potential Democratic base, Trump supporters are described as very loyal and likely to turn out at the polls. “What is sustaining these ties in the polls is Trump’s base, which is a base of white voters, with low education,” he stated.
On the other hand, Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign faces the challenge of motivating voters who reject Trump to leave their homes and vote for her. Moura highlighted that, at this point, both campaigns are less focused on winning votes from the opposing side and more on ensuring that their most favorable demographic segments show up at the polls.
The expert also noted that Americans tend to suffer more from inflation than Latin Americans, as they do not have the same culture of dealing with price increases. This factor can significantly influence voters’ perception of the country’s economic situation.
