– Better days are still ahead of us. But for the American experiment to survive, we must revive the true American principles, said Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) as he gave thanks for four new years last night. De Santis is one of the by-election’s big winners. In recent years, he has turned Florida to the right, fought against LGBT education in primary schools, abortion and led the way in other cultural battles.

DeSantis and Trump are now likely to begin a rivalry over the upcoming presidential election. In Election Day polls, more voters said they have faith in DeSantis than in Trump. DeSantis is also popular among many Trump supporters. He is both optimistic and energetic in his economic policy.

He has hinted at the presidential election in 2024 and has promised big news next week. Now the competition from Ron DeSantis may be bigger than he likes.

Democrats appear to have picked up a Senate seat in Pennsylvania, which has been Republican since 1962. Arizona, Nevada, Wisconsin and Georgia are still undecided. In Georgia, Raphael Warnock, a pastor at Martin Luther King’s old church here in Atlanta, has taken turns leading with football legend Hershel Walker. It is the first time two African-American candidates are running against each other in the southern state, and the fight has received a lot of attention. Especially because Walker is devoid of political experience and surrounded by scandals, yet has done well. If neither of the two gets more than 50 percent of the vote, there will be a new round of elections in December. In Arizona and Nevada, it’s too early to say who will win, although Democrats and former astronaut Mark Kelly lead over election denier Blake Masters in Arizona. In Nevada, it takes time to count the votes, and it is reported that there have been very long queues to vote.

The battle for the Senate seat in Nevada could decide the distribution of power in the Senate. Photo: Anna Moneymaker / AFP Deeply divided country The United States is a country divided down the middle. In election day polls, Americans say that the rise in prices and abortion have been the most important issues. It may seem that the Republicans have not done as well as they hoped with the focus on economic concern. For the Democrats, it is the fight for democracy and the abortion issue that seems to have brought people to the polling stations. But most things in the United States are about divisions, as if the Republicans get the majority in the House of Representatives, Washington will be so divided that little policy can be carried out. Have women been decisive? When I was standing outside a polling station last night just before it closed, I noticed one thing: Many couples drove into the parking lot. The women in the cars went into the polling stations while the men stayed in the car to wait. In Georgia, voter turnout among African-American men has been low for a long time, and that doesn’t appear to change in this election. That may be one reason why the Democrat’s Stacy Abrams did not succeed in becoming America’s first black governor. Republican Brian Kemp instead secured four new years as governor. He’s not a Trump friend, to say the least, after he refused to do as Trump wanted after the 2020 election when the president called and asked the Georgia leadership to “find” him more votes. Perhaps the voters have chosen to reward him for that instead of giving Abrams the trust. Generation Z in Congress Congress has received its first representative from Generation Z in 25-year-old Maxwell Frost. Frost has grown up with the fear of school shootings and is concerned with gun laws, climate change policies. He belongs to the generation that grew up after the turn of the millennium, and he is now becoming an addition to the left wing of the Democratic Party. Maxwell Frost, representative of Generation Z in Florida, won his district in the race for a seat in the House of Representatives.

Things are not going as badly for President Joe Biden’s Democrats as many experts had feared. But the debate about whether the aging president should run for re-election in 2024 kicks off in full swing from today. The Democrats will probably get by with a cry for help, but they create little enthusiasm among voters. Nor have they been able to find younger heirs the party can rally around. It will be an important task going forward. Follow the development here:
