Trump Wins
Not only did the president come out stronger from impeachment, but he has also taken out Joe Biden.
It is possible that Donald Trump will go down as the worst president in the history of the U.S., but his genius when it comes to getting into the electoral arena must be acknowledged. Not only did he come out stronger from impeachment, but he has taken out Joe Biden, whom the polls suggested would be his closest rival and who not only lost his place as front runner after the first test that was the Iowa caucuses, but is now trailing behind.
When Trump made a phone call to the Ukrainian president so that he would investigate the business dealings of Biden’s son, he did not care if he was acting outside the Constitution. What he did know was that he was peeling off the glow of the former vice president and casting a pall of suspicion over him, something that does not harm Trump in the slightest, but that counts a great deal among Democratic voters. In fact, despite conditioning military aid to Ukraine on this small favor, the president cared less about a commission of inquiry and more about creating a news story, casting a pall of suspicion over Joe Biden to keep him under stress during the campaign, in the same way Hillary Clinton’s emails did four years before.
Sectarianism
That Republicans closing ranks around Trump ended up turning the impeachment decision into a sectarian confrontation between parties was not surprising, but there was the expectation that it would cause some rifts. The truth is that impeachment has done damage, but to Joe Biden and his party, not to the president.
While the process has helped to reinvigorate and awaken the Republican base, Democrats have not managed to recharge their batteries. Perhaps even Trump himself wished to be convicted, for he knows he can move like an eel in murky waters, and as a result, he is once more front and center. Seeing as Democrats have little room for maneuver when it comes to winning against him, they would be well advised to come up with another candidate, since it does not appear that Biden can withstand the president. Trump prevailed the first chance he got.
