US Presidential Election: As the US presidential race is reaching its final stage, the election is becoming increasingly tense and fierce. Donald Trump's camp believes itself to be close to victory this time, although there is still a close contest between the two candidates. There has been a sudden increase in Trump's support in the last few weeks, for which there are many reasons.Trump's growing popularityThe US election has seen many ups and downs in the last six months. Meanwhile, Joe Biden decided to drop out of the White House race, and Kamala Harris took over the responsibility of the party. Initially, Kamala Harris got a lead in the surveys, but this situation could not last long.Apart from this, the assassination attempts on Trump also played an important role in changing the public's attitude towards him. Unity increased among Trump's supporters and his campaign team promoted it as an attack on a courageous leader. It was depicted as Trump being targeted by the "deep state", which created his image of a strong and combative leader.Trump's tough stand on illegal immigrationDonald Trump made the "America First" policy his basis from the first term and took a tough stand on the issue of illegal immigration. He imposed strict rules on the construction of a wall on the Mexican border and immigrants, which prevented foreigners from entering the US. In this election too, he blamed the Biden administration for the southern border crisis and also accused Harris of failing in this issue.Anti-incumbency wave towards Biden's tenureMany major controversies like the Russia-Ukraine war and the Hamas-Israel conflict have come to the fore during President Joe Biden's tenure. The Biden administration's inability to take concrete steps on these issues has increased public dissatisfaction. Trump used this resentment in his favor and presented himself as a decisive leader, promising to end these conflicts.Support of Elon MuskTesla and SpaceX owner Elon Musk's support for Trump has also become an important factor. Musk not only strengthened Trump's propaganda machine but also posted in support of Trump continuously on social media. The massive financial and public support provided by him is further strengthening Trump's position.Impact of the case against TrumpDonald Trump is currently facing several legal cases. This election can prove to be decisive for his political and personal life. In case of victory, his legal troubles may reduce, but if he loses, his problems will increase. At present, no decision in these cases is proving to be in his favor.ConclusionDue to these major reasons, Trump's position is getting stronger in the US presidential election. Illegal immigration, weaknesses of the Biden administration, support of Elon Musk, public support in favor of Trump and the benefit of legal issues - all these are increasing Trump's chances. However, the world will have to wait for some time for the final result.
