The presidential arena is in full swing in the United States these days. In this arena, there is Joe Biden, the Republican candidate and the Democratic candidate against the current President Donald Trump and the Vice President in the Obama administration.
Listening to Biden and Trump's conversation, both of them look very bitter. Then this time in the US presidential election, instead of issues like Islamophobia, the war on terror or the withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan, all the focus and discussion is on local US issues.
The main topics of discussion in the US presidential election are Corona epidemic control, the state of the health sector, the recovery of the economy and tax reform.
President Trump seems to believe in white racism, and this is clearly reflected in the policies, actions and statements of the last four years. That's why his rival Joe Biden is vowing to take racism out of every sector of the United States.
Anti-racism sentiment in the United States is at an all-time high these days after the brutal assassination of black American George Floyd by the police, while white racists have also come to the fore. In the United States, on the one hand, black people are protesting to bring justice to George Floyd and others, on the other hand, the armed militia of white Americans is seen standing on their side.
Trump's running mate, Joe Biden, has tried to use the same climate of racism to his advantage. In his election manifesto and campaign, Biden pledged to give Asian, Latin and African Americans economic, social, moral and social rights and status.
According to Biden, racism has left Americans of Asian, Latin and African descent behind in areas such as education, health, the economy and employment. Every letter of Biden's manifesto seems to point in that direction.
The United States is the world's largest economy. When Donald Trump came to power, the United States was emerging from recession and the US economy was once again on the rise. The US economy generates more than ہزار 22,000 billion annually.
Corona is currently in the grip of the world economy, and in the United States, Corona has not only caused a lot of deaths, but also severely damaged the US economy.
The Corona Lockdown hit the US economy hard and the US economy fell by minus 5% on a quarterly basis. But now, according to the White House website, the economic growth rate has changed from negative to positive during the last quarter and is growing at a rate of 4.2 percent. Trump claims that millions of Americans have returned to work since the lockdown.
Biden also appears to be targeting racial disparities in the economy and denying white supremacy. Biden believes in an economy in which every American has the opportunity to be rewarded and developed for his or her hard work, regardless of race. An economy where black, Latin, Asian Americans, as well as Pacific islanders and Native Americans have equal opportunities to participate.
Joe Biden has also highlighted racism in Corona-affected businesses. A report is linked to his election website, in which Robert W. Fairley examines the impact on small businesses and raises business closures on ethnic grounds.
According to the report, the Corona lockdown shut down 3.3 million businesses between February and April, accounting for 22% of all small businesses. The shutdown hit African-American businesses hard and saw a 41 percent drop in business activity. Latin American businesses were affected by 32% and Asian Americans by 26%. Immigrants suffered significant business losses and 36% of their businesses were shut down. Women's businesses saw a 25% shutdown. May saw a 15 per cent drop in business activity and an 8 per cent drop in June. This will create economic inequality in the future.
According to Biden, there are signs of improvement in the US economy after Corona, but not all sectors of the economy are growing at the same pace. Some sectors have improved while others are still in decline.
Trump is claiming in his deeds that the unemployment rate in the United States is at its lowest level in 49 years. Since becoming president, 4 million new jobs have been created in the US economy. A record number of Americans are employed in American history. 400,000 new jobs have been created in the manufacturing sector. Unemployment among Asian, Latin and African Americans is also at an all-time low.
