The current state of the presidential campaign can be likened to the Arctic Circle - frozen and unyielding. Despite numerous controversies and scandals involving both candidates, the race remains stagnant, with little impact on the overall trajectory.
Joe Biden, with a low approval rating of 38 percent, faces an uphill battle, especially in key battleground states like Pennsylvania and Michigan where President Trump maintains a slight lead. Biden's last chance to shake up the race lies in the upcoming debates, where he must demonstrate aggressiveness and knowledge to sway voters.
However, debates may not always be decisive in determining the outcome of an election, as seen in past instances where winning a debate did not translate into overall success. The pressure is on Biden to perform well, while Trump's base is likely to support him regardless of his performance.
On the Republican side, the vice-presidential selection process seems to have little impact on the race's trajectory, with the focus primarily on the top of the ticket. Despite minor incidents being exaggerated to depict Biden as mentally unfit, the media coverage remains a point of contention.
Amidst speculations about a potential Trump victory, various groups are already preparing to resist and challenge a second Trump presidency, highlighting the deep divide and concerns within the political landscape.
As the campaign enters a critical phase, Biden must act swiftly to alter the narrative and gain momentum. The upcoming debate presents a crucial opportunity for him to make a significant impact and potentially shift the dynamics of the frozen campaign.
