– I worked with dementia in elderly care before, and I think I recognize many signs, says cafe owner Amy Shackleford to news. Around the tables at The Coffee Pot, the discussion is heated. – I cannot vote for him. I think he is like a puppet controlled by others now, she says. She and other Wisconsin voters have more power in the presidential election than many other Americans. Voters here have more power than many others in the United States. They take responsibility and are happy to discuss politics Photo: Andreas Vingaard / news Pulled in two directions The last time Trump was elected president, the votes of Amy and her diner guests weighed heavily. Wisconsin is one of six states where the presidential election will be decided. In 2016, shocked Democrats had to realize that they had lost here and that Trump became president. In 2020, Biden won back Wisconsin and secured the White House. He is now 5 percentage points behind Trump in the latest opinion polls here. In 2016, the Democrats had to realize that they were losing the battle against Trump and the MAGA campaign.

In contrast to most American states, where the opinion polls show a reasonably certain victory for either the Republicans or the Democrats, Wisconsin is a so-called swing state. In such states, the margins of victory are small, and different parties have won over time. This means that both the Republican and Democratic presidential candidates have good chances of winning the state. They are also often called “battleground states” because this is where the candidates really invest time, effort and resources in the election campaign. Here, anything can happen until the last second, and whoever wins the swing states wins the election. Six states are considered crucial swing states in this year’s election: Reuters The six swing states Six states are considered particularly important in this presidential election. This is where the candidates put in the most time, effort and resources, because here anything can happen.

The small town is located halfway between Milwaukee and Chicago – exactly where the two parties have held their national meetings this year. In Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the Republicans are holding their national convention this week. Trump will give his nomination speech here on Friday night. In Chicago, Illinois, the Democrats will hold their national convention in four weeks. – Listen to your voters The pressure against Biden after the famous CNN debate against Trump was put on pause after the assassination of Trump on Saturday. But now the debate about Biden’s health is in full swing again. Last night, his campaign announced that he has tested positive for corona and has returned home to Delaware to rest and isolate for a few days. More and more people are doubting Biden’s cognitive health. Now he is also physically ill. On Thursday it became clear that he is infected with Covid and must go home to rest.

He is a staunch Democrat and plans to run for the party, even if Biden becomes the presidential candidate. But he doesn’t like what’s happening now. He believes that Biden appeared incompetent in the debate against Trump. John is a stand-up comedian, but doesn’t think American politics is much to laugh at at the moment. Photo: Andreas Vingaard / news – Listen to your voters. Listen to the people who have influence in elections in this country, says John Oneil. A new survey came out on Wednesday which shows that the proportion of Democratic voters who believe the party should find a candidate other than Biden has increased sharply. Nearly two-thirds of Democrats polled think Biden should step down and let the party nominate another candidate, according to the survey conducted by AP-NORC, the Center for Public Affairs Research. The debate between Donald Trump and Joe Biden ended badly for the latter. It has triggered a flurry of concerns within the Democratic Party.

Even if Biden became president in 2020, Trump received the majority of the vote in this very city. But a seesaw state is a seesaw state. Everything can still happen here. In Milwaukee, the Republican National Convention is well under way. Photo: AFP Café owner Amy has decided that she will vote for Trump. She thinks it may have been fate that he was shot. – I believe that everything happens for a reason. I hope this outrageous thing that happened will lead to something good, she says.
