US states report record voter turnout, European officials fear Trump's victory because of his desire to shift Ukraine funding to them
U.S. state election officials are reporting record turnout. The highest turnout in recent history history The turnout of the US presidential election is recorded in the swing state of Michigan. Let us recall that swing states in the US are those where one of the two main American parties – the Republican and the Democratic – does not have a clear majority.
Against this backdrop, stocks are growing in the US. All three key stock indices – S&P 500, Dow Jones and Nasdaq – are growing. Experts note that this trend has been demonstrated for the fifth election in a row, starting with the election year in which Barack Obama won for the first time.
Amid record turnout in the US, several major channels have published polling data. Two out of three polls give Trump the victory, one - Harris. Bookmakers are also predicting Trump's victory. The average result for bookmakers is 53 to 47 in favor of the 45th US President.
Meanwhile, Europe is experiencing its own worries. Most European politicians are making it clear that they are “rooting” for Kamala. This is explained by the fact that if Trump wins, he could “shift the burden of financing Ukraine onto the shoulders of the Europeans.”
The German press, citing a senior EU official (whose name has not been released), says that Europe will continue to support Ukraine, “but there may no longer be a consensus among all member states on this issue.”
Moreover, Trump promised to raise trade duties on a number of goods from Europe. Therefore, the mood in the "blooming European garden" is nervous. It is even more nervous in Kyiv, where they do not know at all who they can count on in the near future, especially considering that Biden will formally remain president for two months.
