There are three things that should not be done: Israel cannot slide into authoritarianism and become like Orban’s Hungary, Ukraine must not be defeated by Putin, and Trump he should never be in the White House again. If these three come true, the world that I would like to leave to my children and grandchildren may collapse. Israel, the only functioning pluralistic democracy in the Middle East, will be lost if the existing imperfect judiciary ceases to function. The EU, the second after the US pole of a multinational free market and human rights, will be at the mercy of Putin. USAwith a vengeful Trump in power, they will never be the same again.

It is in this light that I want to present my announcement. Joe Biden, on Tuesday, for his new descent into the election. The successful completion of Biden’s current presidency and his second presidency are critical to averting the above three disaster scenarios. For this reason, Biden must win.

While many believe that the 2024 election will be a repeat of the 2020 election, Democratic Party officials insist that Biden’s running mate will be very important. With Biden turning 86 at the end of his second term and thus increasing the chances of health problems, voters are being asked to vote for both the president and vice president, his potential successor.

Foreign policy

However, recent polls show that 51.9% of Americans disapprove of her work. Kamala Harris, against 40% who consider it important. I have to make it clear that I voted for Joe Biden and have no regrets. He is a moral person and a good president. The Western alliance he created and maintains as one against the Russian invasion of Ukraine has become a lesson in managing alliances and defending the democratic order in Europe. When in doubt, ask Putin. Also a clear relief was the way Biden put Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu in his place by directly accusing him of a coup against the judiciary with his proposed reform. Biden’s decisive words inspired hundreds of thousands of Israelis to demonstrate in support of democracy.

US interior

On US domestic policy issues that I am particularly interested in, such as rebuilding the nation’s infrastructure, ensuring American leadership in the production of advanced microchips to advance the AI ​​era, and creating incentives for the production of clean energy on a huge scale to curb climate change, Biden did better than me. expected.

Joe Biden will provide my vote, no matter his age, as long as he is physically and mentally healthy, because I don’t believe there is another Democrat with a combination of political skills, commitment to the need for national unity, international prominence, and the ability to speak to his Trump supporters without snub. . He sincerely wants to remove the poison from our political system.

But at the same time, I understand that many Americans do not share my point of view and that 30% of Trump Republican supporters will not be convinced by any words of Biden. But they will not judge the next election. As the 2024 election approaches, independent voters and moderate Republicans will have to rise again. However, the specter of Biden being replaced by Kamala Harris is a constant concern for them. True, over the past two years, the authority of the vice president has not strengthened. I do not know what the problem is. Is it because of the complexity of the initiatives she took, or was she influenced by the combination of sexism and racism as the first black female vice president? All I know is that doubts about her ability to lead the country have not been dispelled. Biden must convince independent and moderate Republicans that Harris is the best choice to replace him in an emergency.

Demonstration of skills

At the same time, Harris must show her skills. Biden could appoint her to lead the transition to an age of artificial intelligence aimed at supporting the middle class. Such an ambitious program could bring her into contact with the whole country.

The thought that the selection of these particular Democratic presidential and vice presidential candidates will allow moderate Republicans to return to Trump’s orbit terrifies me. Trump is not stupid. If he wins the Republican nomination, he will likely nominate Nikki Haley for vice president, knowing that having a moderate woman on the ballot can motivate many disillusioned voters in his own party.

Do not laugh. The Vice President will play a decisive role in this election. As much as I want Biden to win by 50.1%, I want the result in his favor to be clear and thus the ultimate condemnation of Trumpism and political divisions. I want to send a message to the whole world, to Putins, Netanyahu and Orbans, that there are more of us center-right and center-left Americans and we are always ready to work together for the common good.
