The June Presidential debate put many people in doubt that Joe Biden will win the upcoming November election race. As compared to Joe Biden, Trump has more chances to beat Joe Biden.  By early July, it seemed almost certain Biden would be replaced. An article written by George Clooney in the New York Times on July 10. This article seemed to seal Joe Biden’s fate. Clooney argued that the chances of Biden’s success are very less because of his age.  

As a dedicated Democrat and major donor, Clooney’s opinion carried significant weight. He also warned that if Biden becomes future President then Democrats would lose both the White House and the Senate. According to Coolney, this is not only his opinion but every Democratic senator, congress member, and governor thinks the same like that. According to his views, it is necessary for the United States to make a change. This change avoided a significant and potentially devastating loss in the upcoming election.

On election days, the big supporter of Democratic party is Hollywood. So, Joe Biden decided to step back from the election race and support Kamala HarrisExploring the views of Kamala Harris related to Gaza war to win the election and become the next president of the United States. 

When Biden stepped aside, donations started pouring in for Harris. In just 36 hours after being named the likely nominee, she received $100 million for her campaign. She has enough delegates to be the official Democratic candidate, and Hollywood is ready to give even more money.

But winning on November 5 might be tough for Harris. As a woman of color, she might face challenges in a divided America. Despite this, she has a cleaner record compared to Trump, who is dealing with legal troubles. The outcome of US elections affects the whole world, as the US is involved in many global issues, from Gaza to Ukraine, often causing controversy.

It is important to watch the next US President’s foreign policy in the Middle East. Everybody is concerned about what the new leader will do after taking office on January 20th. If Kamala Harris wins the election campaign then she definitely follow her boss foreign policies rule. It is also possible that she strongly criticized the Israel’s actions on Gaza and pointed out the humanitarian crisis. But she probably won’t stop sending arms to Israel or change the US veto at the UN.

On the other hand, what Donald Trump will do in the Middle East if he becomes the 2nd time President of the United States. There is also the chance that conflict in Gaza might continue in January 2025. So, many think about, if Trump becomes the president again, what could this victory mean for the Middle East. So, it is important to think all about these possibilities and their impacts. 

However, the geopolitical understanding of Trump is limited. His Presidency era from 2016 to 2020 gives some clues. If he wins the election and holds the power again he will definitely stand in favor of Israel. He supports Israel in all situations. With his support, Israeli Prime Minister, Netanyahu might be prolonging the Gaza conflict, hoping it continues if Trump gets back into office. This would make Israel more capable to take more drastic actions against Palestinians and help Netanyahu stay in control. Furthermore, Trump will also prove tougher for Iran. He will increase sanctions and block any revival of the 2015 nuclear deal.

So Trump will be more aggressive towards Iran, Lebanon and Palestine. One of the facts is also important to know that Trump will also try to push his failed “Deal of the Century” again. He also forced Arab and Muslim countries to make deals with Israel;s government. 

This could stop any further normalization, like what happened with the Abraham Accords, where four Arab countries already recognized Israel.

Reviving the “Deal of the Century” would undermine the progress made by the Al-Aqsa Flood, which halted normalization with Israel and demanded a Palestinian state. So, if Trump will come as the American President he will likely push Arab states to ignore Palestinian rights making strong relationships with Israel. 

So, in the case of the Middle East, Kamala Harris might be the better option to choose. She definitely supports the two-state solution as her boss and also compels other nations to follow the international rules. 

Trump, on the other hand, is unlikely to pay attention to the court’s decisions or incorporate them into his Middle East policy.
