Two viewpoints from the south<\/b><\/p>\n

Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro <\/span>said<\/span><\/a> that he doesn\u2019t lose hope in the victory of Republican candidate Donald Trump, according to the local press.<\/span><\/p>\n

Advisers to Bolsonaro, a declared admirer of Trump, have advised him to stay out of the U.S. presidential fight, given the possible consequences that this could have for Brazilian foreign policy, in the event of a Democratic victory.<\/span><\/p>\n

https:\/\/twitter.com\/BolsonaroSP\/status\/1324039010285735937?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1324039010285735937%7Ctwgr%5Eshare_3&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Foncubanews.com%2Fmundo%2Fee-uu%2Felecciones-en-estados-unidos-cuarto-dia%2F<\/p>\n

Even so, the son of the president and a deputy, Eduardo Bolsonaro, has maintained an active position on Twitter in this regard, <\/span>reinforcing<\/span><\/a> the accusations of fraud made by Trump from that same platform, and describing the U.S. Democratic movement as a <\/span>\u201c<\/span>well-organized left<\/span><\/a>\u201d while alerting that history could repeat itself in Brazil.<\/span><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, from Argentina led by Alberto Fern\u00e1ndez, the points of view of the situation is obviously different. Even newspapers such as <\/span>La Naci\u00f3n<\/span><\/i><\/a> have wondered which government would be the most convenient for the country, finding answers in experts on the matter, such as Federico Merke, director of the Master\u2019s in International Politics and Economics at the University of San Andr\u00e9s, who has said:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI have the feeling that the government is not saying it openly, but is betting on a Biden victory rather than Trump\u2019s continuity. In the short term, Biden would bring a slightly broader agenda to resume contact with Argentina and the region in general, a region that has been largely neglected by Trump,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Yesterday, Minister of Economy <\/span>Mart\u00edn Guzm\u00e1n made the first reference<\/span><\/a> to the elections. \u201cTrump is not the same as Biden,\u201d he said, explaining the obvious with statements such as that \u201cit would change the issue of multilateralism, international relations.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe United States has the primary role in determining geopolitical balances, and they have different views on how to approach international politics,\u201d said the 38-year-old economist.<\/span><\/p>\n

Biden\u2019s comeback in two decisive states: Georgia and Pennsylvania<\/b><\/p>\n

Four days of tension in the United States. Four days during which nobody has stopped wondering how and when the vote-counting process will end. But, while slow, the elections that will define, not only in the country but in the world, many events in the next four years have taken in the finals a spectacular nature of the best and most dynamic of sports, let\u2019s say, a horse race; or better: it is the final supersonic lap of the donkey against the elephant.<\/span><\/p>\n

What had already been warned by the Democratic party has been defined when today candidate Joe Biden made a turn in two Republican states. First, the lead in Georgia, with 1,096 votes. Since yesterday, the margin headed by the President had been closing, but at night his lead was unstoppable. Ballots are still being counted. There will be less than 10,000 ballots at this time, from most of the areas with a Democratic preference.<\/span><\/p>\n

It all happens in such a dizzying way that in Pennsylvania, where Biden was only threatening to take the lead, not only did he suddenly take a leap, but he did so with a difference of 1,500 votes. According to <\/span>The New York Times<\/span><\/i>, in one fell swoop he got 27,396 votes from Philadelphia; compared to Trump, who managed to get 3,760 votes there. There were still about 20,000 ballots to count in the city.<\/span><\/p>\n

The state has become a battleground this Friday morning. Now Republican dominance is faltering, something that President Trump achieved four years ago, becoming the first Republican to win a presidential race there, something that had not happened since 1988. On the contrary, if the Democrats finally keep Georgia, they will have once again dominated the state after 28 years of Republican superiority.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bill Clinton had won it by 13,000 votes in 1992. In 2016, Trump beat former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in Georgia by 211,141 votes, or 50.4% to 45.3%. Clayton County has been instrumental in getting Biden to the top today.<\/span><\/p>\n

Secret Service protecting Biden<\/b><\/p>\n

Today Friday the Secret Service will send reinforcements to Wilmington, Delaware, to help protect former Vice President Joe Biden as his campaign prepares for the possibility of victory. Secret Service spokeswoman Catherine Milhoan declined to comment on the news already released by various outlets, emphasizing that the agency does not publicly discuss security plans for the president or the candidates it protects.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dozens of agents have been providing security to the Biden campaign at the Chase Center at the Riverfront Convention Center, Wilmington; meanwhile, the key states are counting millions of votes cast in last Tuesday\u2019s elections.<\/span><\/p>\n
