The day before Passover, after the Jewish candidate from Vermont, Bernie Sanders, completed all the preparations for Passover, he announced to the American nation, one month late - about his resignation from the Democratic race on the nomination card. This, though, was long overdue for his journey to the White House. But just yesterday, following another overwhelming defeat in the state of Wisconsin, which proved a last-minute Vermont senator, he announced his decline to the sidelines.

This act, too, came as a surprise to his followers, as Sanders' zeal and zeal for his righteousness and the ultimate victory of his socialist example might have left him in the Utah Deserts (one of the few states he won in the primaries) or in the forests of Vermont (his native state). Lonely, who continues - as those Japanese fighters after the Japanese Empire surrender in 1945 - in his desperate war in the hope of the coming of Godot or the renewed arrival of Marx the Savior in his mouth in the Revolution.

After this disturbing background noise finally disappeared from the political map, it was time to assess the status and prospects of the two candidates remaining in the race for the coveted job: President Trump and Democratic presidential candidate, former Vice President Joe Biden. In the current circumstances of the fight against the Corona virus, the fight between them has become a single referendum - which of the two can best deal with the crisis and move America back to the path of prosperity and prosperity?

At the present time, at least six and a half months before the decision, the scales tend, though very cautiously, to the credit of the former vice president, leading in all national polls with a 6% gap over his presidential rival. Although the current picture may still undergo transformations and transformations, it may reflect the fact that already in the preliminary stage of the crisis, Biden expressed concern over the approaching storm, and called on experts to properly prepare for the challenge of the gate. This, while the White House was taking, in its early statements and tweets, was dismissive and complacent, ensuring that the virus would soon fade into oblivion without leaving almost any trace.

True, in the meantime, the 45th president underwent a revolution in his approach, and not only internalized the severity of the problem, but released huge budgets and astronomical aid packages to help the various countries deal with the devastating consequences of the virus; However, the initial delay in mobilizing federal resources is still a must in public opinion.

As a result, we have seen a 3% drop in support for the White House over the past week. This is when 55% of the respondents criticize the crisis management. Beyond that, Biden's power, which came to fruition during the pre-election elections, should be emphasized, especially among the social strata of the 2016 election, which were the main source of Trapp's victory in key countries. These are mainly the industrialized states in the "strip of rust" in the Midwest, such as Michigan and Wisconsin, where Biden reached much better results this year than Hillary Clinton four years ago. What is clear is that the former Delaware senator is now gaining tremendous popularity among his primary target audience in these states, which is made up of white-collar class members whose education is only high school.

This should turn a red warning light on the president, whose chances of retaining his job also depend this time on the success of this sector, which he focused on in the 2016 election. And if not, Biden's current efforts to capture the ranks and bring Bernie's liberal camp Sanders and Elizabeth Warren (who are about one-third of the party's supporters) under his tent will rise nicely, then, on November 3, a cohesive Democratic camp, which under certain circumstances may also regain control of the Senate.

And yet, even though the Kremlin's ability to intervene in the election process this time will be lower than in 2016, given the rigorous monitoring and control patterns being implemented, it would be premature and completely irresponsible to claim Trump's oval office days. This is because successful and responsible management of the Corona crisis may change the whole picture, even though the president has not yet exhausted his ability to mobilize more massive federal resources in his efforts to eradicate the deadly virus while largely controlling the domestic and international agendas. Therefore, his image as a bold leader, who thinks and acts "out of the box", will therefore decide his political fate. Still, state captains should take advantage of the current interim period to complete important strategic and security moves such as applying sovereignty to the Jordan Valley. After all, the opportunity window may close on January 20, 2021.
