The National Interest: Why Are Democrats Afraid of Trump’s Re-Election?
Democrats fear Trump’s approach if he is reelected.
What are their real concerns?
According to Michael Guest in the National Interest, the outcome of this fall’s presidential election will profoundly affect the well-being and daily freedoms of the American people.
But the consequences of this election will also be enormous for countries around the world that share our values and interests—from Poland to Romania to the Baltic states.
Trump’s 2018 Helsinki summit underscored his pro-Russian bias and refusal to challenge the Kremlin, his disdain for NATO, his opposition to sending military aid to Kiev, and his effusive praise of President Putin.
Harris on the other hand, has consistently shown how important it’s to defend Ukraine.
Shortly after Russia’s military operation in Ukraine, Harris traveled to Poland and Romania, reinforcing the United States’ commitment to NATO defense to the leaders of those countries.
It was no random trip… Poland’s defense spending is nearly double the NATO target for its members.
Poland and Romania also supply Ukraine with fighter jets, tanks, and air defense systems essential to its defense.
Poland and Romania are now in the vanguard, and they need a US administration with a strong commitment to our common security.
Donald Trump’s re-election would undoubtedly strengthen Russia’s position, and we need a leader like Vice President Harris – someone who understands that alliances and international principles are the essence of US leadership in a dangerous world.
