On November 6, the US presidential elections will take place. But already now, two official candidates for this position have begun to compete for votes. As always, one of them represents the interests of the Democratic Party, the other - the Republican.
The incumbent President Barack Obama has become the Democratic nominee for the US presidency. Moreover, at the convention, Bill Clinton himself proposed his candidacy. According to the staff of the president's headquarters, his support could provide Obama with an additional number of votes among the white workers, who still mistrust the current president.
Barack Obama's electoral program is to increase the number of jobs by rebuilding schools, bridges, runways and roads, reducing oil imports and increasing American exports. Also, the incumbent president promises to reduce the external debt of the United States by $ 4 trillion.
Obama's opponent is former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney. As expected, he won the majority of the vote at the convention and was officially confirmed as the Republican presidential nominee. The new Republican program includes tax cuts, stimulating the economy and abandoning the health care reform that Obama has begun to implement. Romney also talks about the ban on abortion in the country and tightening control over America's financial sector.
In his election program, Romney makes Russia the number one geopolitical enemy. And he promises to "curb" it after coming to power, which for our country threatens to freeze the negotiation processes on a number of important issues, which are already going through with great difficulty.
The first polls of voters showed that not a single candidate has a significant majority of votes yet. However, the incumbent US President Barack Obama still has more electors - 221 versus 191 for Romney. Another 126 represent states where the ratings of candidates are equal - there will be the campaign between Romney and Obama in the coming months.
