The first debate between the candidates for the presidency of the United States, Joe Biden and Donald Trump, is approaching and with it come to the table crucial topics that will set the tone for the discussion. Among the most prominent issues expected to be addressed are migration and the right to abortion, two controversial topics that have kept American society on edge. In the field of migration, Joe Biden comes to the debate with new proposals and policies focused on immigration and borders, seeking to improve his positioning among skeptical voters. In contrast, Donald Trump, known for his tough stance on immigration during his presidency, has promised a broad crackdown on immigration if reelected. This point has generated divisions in public opinion, reflected in polls showing a preference for Trump on immigration issues. One key point that Biden brings to the table is the asylum ban to reduce illegal crossings at the border with Mexico, as well as a broad legalization of residents married to U.S. citizens. These measures illustrate the delicate political balance that Biden must maintain in his quest for a new term in the White House, given the polarized context surrounding the immigration issue in the United States. On the other hand, the issue of abortion has become an unavoidable matter on the American political agenda. The Supreme Court's decision to revoke the federal right to abortion and leave it to the states to legislate on the matter has created a polarized scenario in society. This situation has led Democrats, led by Biden, to seek to capitalize on this issue to mobilize voters, especially women and young people, ahead of the November presidential elections. Biden, who has evolved in his stance on abortion, now presents himself as a defender of this right, blaming Trump for the current situation. Kamala Harris, his running mate, has also been active in promoting the defense of abortion as a central issue on the Democratic agenda. Democrats have pushed for referendums on abortion in several key states, hoping to mobilize voters who could tip the scales in their favor in the elections. In contrast, Trump has been ambiguous in his stance on abortion, focusing on the importance of winning elections without showing a clear position on federal legislation on this issue. This strategy has allowed him to maintain a margin of maneuver without committing to such a polarized issue as abortion, thus avoiding positioning himself in an unpopular extreme. In summary, the first debate between Joe Biden and Donald Trump is shaping up to be a scenario where migration and abortion will be key topics of discussion. Both candidates will have the opportunity to present their positions and proposals to an expectant audience, in a political context marked by polarization and division in American society.
