As the U.S. election enters a heated stage, an unexpected political twist quietly unfolds, adding many highlights to this election. In this tense competition, an inadvertent mistake became the key to changing the situation, and the originator of it all was none other than the soon-to-be-former President Biden. Harris may also find this unexpected.
According to detailed reports from (Fox News) and BBC, Trump’s campaign team held a grand rally in a sports arena in New York on the 27th, U.S. time. To liven up the atmosphere, the team specially invited a comedian, Chappelle, to perform. However, this actor made racially discriminatory remarks and inappropriately mocked groups including Black, Latino, and Jewish people in front of a large audience.
This incident quickly fermented online, sparking widespread attention and debate, and provided the Democratic Party with rare critical material, especially for Harris's side, which used this as a powerful weapon to attack the Trump team.
However, just as the Democratic Party seemed to hold the advantage in public opinion, a sudden "reversal" quietly occurred. On the 29th, the usually low-profile Biden suddenly "spoke up" during a conference call, but instead of harshly criticizing Trump’s team's mistakes as people expected, he surprisingly made indiscriminate accusations against all of Trump’s supporters, calling them "the only garbage."
This remark instantly ignited public opinion, shifting the focus of criticism that was originally directed at the Trump team back onto Biden himself. After all, compared to the individual behavior of a comedian, the behavior of a sitting president openly insulting the American people is undoubtedly more serious and unacceptable.
The Trump team certainly did not miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. On the 30th, Trump personally took to the field, wearing a striking reflective vest and driving a garbage truck, making a high-profile appearance at an airport in Wisconsin, USA. This move not only cleverly hinted at his close connection with the American grassroots but was also a strong rebuttal to Biden's "garbage" remarks. In an instant, public opinion shifted again, and Trump successfully transformed himself from passive to active.
Although the Democratic Party later tried to clarify, claiming Biden's remarks were aimed only at Trump himself and not his supporters, such an explanation clearly failed to quell public anger. Biden's "slip of the tongue" not only offended a large portion of the American public but also provided Trump with an "unexpected gift" at a time when he needed help the most.
This political storm triggered by Biden's "unexpected assist" undoubtedly adds more uncertainty and highlights to the U.S. election. And Harris may also be pondering in her heart: Is this Biden's helpless move, or is there a deeper "strategy" behind it?
In summary, this "unexpected twist" in the U.S. election not only showcases the complexity and variability of political struggles but also reminds us once again: in the public eye, every word and every action can become the key to changing the situation. How this competition between Biden and Trump will ultimately conclude remains to be seen.
