Middle East war, stock market, and border— How does it affect the election?

Believe me, I can envision many better options.

But I’m in the Anyone But Trump camp.

As are all truly patriotic Americans.

I don’t think it will. Trump is so polarizing the election boils down to voting on personality.

And that is how stupid you and this country has become.

So we are looking at a possible recession and the stock market taking a massssssive dump, Iran and Israel finally about to go down, and the obvious border situation.

How bad does this hurt Kamala? Or can she play it off as she wasn’t the president so she has a different vision of how to approach the situations?

I think this is going to help Trump in those must win states just due to the market getting rekt. Now how the candidates navigate their messaging the upcoming months will be interesting.

Immigration is a right-wing obsession. Other than conservative media, which dwells on it 24-7 and monopolizes the subject as its primary propaganda driver, it isn't the compelling issue with the general public. Crime, which is an issue in many areas is as problematic in red areas as anywhere else, and not necessarily in Democratic mayoral cities in those areas.

Picking winning issues has not been kind to Republicans. Anti-abortion has worked for them due to the insistence on voting Republican in state elections. That leg is on shaky ground with state voters opting to put right to choose amendments in their state constitutions. This may lead to liberalizing state Supreme Courts.

Health care was fought tooth-and-nail by Rebulicans. The Orange Turd has made it clear he will eliminate the existing system. You can imagine the chaos that will create. The Republicans in the House and Senate are a bunch of whimsical nutcases. Authoring complicated legislation would require Democrat brainpower, which the Orange Turd would deny.

The economy is like walking on eggshells. It was in near collapse in 2020, revived (rescued) by drastic measures, and gradually making recovering. The stock market sustained. Nothing remains the same and the future can't be predicted. It's important to note that nothing so far was done to worsen things, and measures taken created positive growth.
