A lot of Indian-Americans are being swayed by Democratic propaganda and not supporting Donald Trump. But the President has good chances of being re-elected this November, thanks to his tough immigration and foreign policies and high approval ratings among patriotic Americans.
With just one week remaining for the election, Joe Biden and Trump campaigns have intensified their outreach in Michigan and Pennsylvania. Hunter Biden’s connections with China have been proven. There is a lot being lost by the Democrats. On the issue of immigration, President Trump has regained the confidence of all Americans. His tough immigration policy and overall achievements with foreign policy for the last three and a half years has made many patriotic Americans give him a high approval rating.
However, the support of Indian-Americans in the US has been a source of disappointment for the Trump campaign. The Indian-Americans have been carried away by the liberal fake propaganda of the corrupt Democrats, to say the least. Indian-American reps of the Democratic Party, such as Ro Khanna and Pramila Jayapal, have led many anti-CAA and anti-Kashmir resolutions to keep the Indian-American vote divided and many secular Indian-Americans have fallen for the charisma of such Democrats.
As of 27 October, more than 70 million Americans have voted. This is going to be a record turnout by any standards of the American elections in the last 100 years. The controversial practice of ballot harvesting—which means that the FEC actually allows third parties to deliver ballots to election officials—may drag out the declaration of results for the elections. Another challenge this time is the relaxation of voting rules. And the talks about renaming Yale University is a last ditch attempt of the Democrats to win votes.
The emotional appeals on the basis of race and protecting the interests of religious minorities by the Democrats have exposed them further. Leading Jewish orthodox leaders have come out openly in favour of President Trump. The major change brought by Detroit News favouring a Republican candidate has been unprecedented. A recently launched ‘Sentinel of Dharma’ political action committee has openly endorsed President Trump along with many congressional races. The fact that Democrats are pro-China and pro-Pakistan has been openly discussed in the American media. Senator Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) and Rep. Mike Gallagher (R-Wis.) recently introduced legislation aimed at forcing lobbyists for Chinese companies controlled by the Chinese Communist Party to register as foreign agents under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA). This bill closed loopholes in the FARA that have exempted lobbyists for Chinese companies from having to register as a foreign agent. This corruption has been perpetuated by Democrats like Joe Biden and Kamala Harris so far.
Trump is already carrying 24% of Philadelphia, where over 30 law enforcement officers had been injured in the riots ensuing after the Philadelphia police shooting incident. Now, top Democrat members, who panicked on Monday night after Barrett’s appointment, are making a last effort with their new mantra, “Expand the Court”.
Meanwhile, among the liberal media, Investor’s Business Daily’s polls are predicting Trump’s win. This is the same poll which had predicted Trump winning in 2016. Among Indian psephologists, Sharad Mohan from the Sentinel of Dharma PAC has predicted that Trump will win and the GOP will win 312 seats in the House. Other prominent Indian-American PACs have predicted that as much as 350 seats will be won. The confidence comes from the fact that the ‘silent majority’ of Americans will speak at the hustings. More independents are also leaning red now than they were a week back. More Republicans are also expected to turn out to vote as compared to 2016’s numbers. California has more than 15 seats turning purple. All this shows a good positioning overall for Trump.
If it were not for Covid-19 and the subsequent lockdown, nobody would have predicted even a moderately strong showing by the Democrats. The China virus has put a dent on the Trump campaign, but it has recovered from the shock of it now. The Israel-Middle East pact by the Trump administration has brought foreign policy laurels for the Trump campaign too.
Thus, it can be said that Trump is winning the elections on 3 November 2020. God bless America!
