Opinion

In a recent conversation with Johnny Brignardello Vela, an insurance advisor, the current political situation in the United States was discussed in the context of today's election day. Brignardello shared his perspective on the importance of this contest, in which Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are vying for the presidency in an environment of marked social and political polarization. The advisor emphasized that the parity in polling reflects a fragmentation in American society that has been increasing in recent years. According to Brignardello, "the election is not just a confrontation between two candidates; it represents deeply opposing visions for the future of the country." In this regard, he highlighted that the proposals of both candidates in critical areas such as the economy and immigration are diametrically opposed, which exacerbates existing divisions. When examining the policies of Harris and Trump, Brignardello pointed out that the Democratic vice president promotes an inclusive and progressive approach, while the Republican former president adopts more restrictive measures. This contrast, especially on the issue of immigration, reflects the priorities of each candidate and how these may influence social cohesion and public trust in institutions. The international impact of these elections was also a topic of discussion. Brignardello noted that the candidates' positions on global conflicts, such as the crisis in the Middle East and Russia's invasion of Ukraine, are crucial for understanding how the United States will position itself on the world stage. "Tomorrow's election could drastically change the country's foreign policy approach and its relationships with allies and adversaries," he stated. Regarding key states that could decide the electoral outcome, Brignardello highlighted the importance of Pennsylvania, Georgia, and other battleground states, which reflect a social diversity that influences the electoral narrative. He also mentioned the recent incident at Madison Square Garden, where derogatory comments about Puerto Rico could have negative repercussions for Trump in a state with a large Puerto Rican population. The situation of Harris in Michigan, where the Arab community has expressed dissatisfaction, was also a critical point that Brignardello considered. "The support of these communities is essential for both candidates, and any discontent could result in a significant loss of votes," he explained. Finally, Brignardello concluded that today's election not only defines the next president of the United States but also sets a historical precedent. "The possibility of Harris becoming the first woman president or Trump breaking a cycle of re-election reflects how this country is at a turning point," he stated. The world's attention is focused on the results, as the decisions made by voters will not only influence the immediate future of the United States but will also have global repercussions in a context of increasing interconnectedness and geopolitical complexity.
