Joe Biden\u2019s resignation from his candidacy for presidential re-election<\/span><\/a> is one of those events that delight any prospective political analyst. The decision to <\/span>support the nomination of Kamala Harris<\/span><\/a>, current vice president, if confirmed \u2015 as in principle would be expected \u2015 by the Democratic Party National Convention, between August 19 and 22, opens a set of new possibilities and dynamics on the U.S. political scene.<\/span><\/p>\n

At the same time, given that the United States continues to be, with some ease, the main superpower at a global level, the rise of <\/span>Harris<\/b><\/a>\u00a0has strong impacts on international relations as a whole and is currently arousing, in a frenetic way, the attention of the political leaders and analysts from foreign ministries and intelligence services around the world.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the immediate future, Donald Trump remains the favorite to win the elections on November 5. Biden\u2019s decision, surely made unwillingly, is late. The president\u2019s infatuation caused precious time to be consumed in the process of internal political negotiations and the accumulation of pressure from the heavyweights of the Democratic Party to make the veteran Delaware politician withdraw from the electoral race.<\/span><\/p>\n

Volatile situations<\/b><\/p>\n

However, one of the most notable features of contemporary politics during recent decades, both nationally and internationally, is the acceleration of processes and the rapid modification of current conditions, as a result of the explosion in the massive use of the media and social networks, as well as unstoppable globalization (whatever may be said about the supposed end of this phenomenon).<\/span><\/p>\n

In this way, as part of this global macrotrend, the pre-electoral political scenarios in any country \u2014 even one with continental dimensions and with pronounced neo-isolationist tendencies like the United States \u2014 can be profoundly transformed in a few days. What happened recently in the elections in France is a lesson.<\/span><\/p>\n

The decision to promote Kamala Harris to the presidential candidacy could eventually represent a turning point (a game changer, according to prospective terminology in English) in the current U.S. electoral process.<\/span><\/p>\n

What has Kamala Harris said about Cuba?<\/b><\/p>\n

When evaluating the impact of a possible Kamala Harris electoral victory on the United States\u2019 Cuba policy, the first thing that should be recognized is the lack of evidence or antecedents to form a well-founded forecast.<\/span><\/p>\n

However \u2015 and here lies the encouraging part \u2015 the few existing precedents point in an essentially positive direction, in the direction of opening a new opportunity to resume the path traveled during the last two years of the second Obama administration, abruptly interrupted during the Trump administration. This, apart from some of Harris\u2019s statements regarding the human rights situation and political repression in Cuba, which have surely not been to the liking of the Cuban government.<\/span><\/p>\n

In 2019, as a presidential candidate for the Democratic Party for the 2020 elections, Kamala Harris responded to a <\/span>Tampa Bay Times<\/span><\/i> questionnaire<\/span><\/a> on issues of interest to the state of Florida. When asked whether she would eliminate or continue the \u201ctrade embargo\u201d against Cuba, her team\u2019s response was: \u201cSenator Harris believes we should end the failed trade embargo and take a smarter approach that empowers Cuban civil society and the Cuban American community to spur progress and freely determine their own future..\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Subsequently, in an<\/span> interview with the EFE news agency published in <\/span>El Nuevo Herald<\/span><\/i> on October 27, 2020<\/span><\/a>, the then-Democratic candidate for the vice presidency of the United States assured that if she and her running mate (Joe Biden) reached the White House, they would repeal the restrictions imposed by Donald Trump on Cuba. \u201cWe,\u201d Harris explained, \u201cwill reverse Trump\u2019s failed policies. And as he previously did as vice president, Joe Biden will also demand the release of political prisoners and make human rights a centerpiece in diplomatic relations.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

On the other hand, she also observed: \u201cThe embargo is the law; a Congressional act is needed to lift it or the president needs to determine that a democratically elected government is in power in Cuba. We don\u2019t expect any of these things to happen anytime soon.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

In the same interview, the then-senator from California criticized Trump\u2019s immigration policies toward Cubans. \u201cTrump is deporting hundreds of Cubans back to the dictatorship and back to regime repression that has only increased under his presidency. There are almost 10,000 Cubans who are languishing in tent camps along the border with Mexico due to Trump\u2019s anti-immigrant agenda,\u201d she stated. She also accused the then-Republican president of \u201cseparating Cuban families through restrictions on family visits and remittances.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

On July 22, 2021, in a <\/span>post on Twitter<\/span><\/a> (now X), Harris expressed her support \u201cfor the Cuban people and their right to peacefully protest and to decide their own future,\u201d while alluding to the sanctions announced by the Biden administration \u201cagainst the members of the Cuban regime responsible for this new repression,\u201d about the events that occurred in Cuba eleven days earlier.<\/span><\/p>\n

Generational change<\/b><\/p>\n

Beyond these critical statements about the Cuban government, the fact is that Kamala Harris has been remarkably sparing in her statements about Cuba during her vice-presidential mandate, which could reflect \u2015 and at this point I am only speculating \u2015 a certain discomfort or dissatisfaction with the policy maintained by the Biden administration, characterized by the obvious failure to comply with the promises of the previous electoral campaign.<\/span><\/p>\n

In any case, the simple fact that Joe Biden \u2014 born in 1942 \u2014 is an old cold warrior, while Kamala Harris \u2014 <\/span>born in 1964<\/b><\/a> \u2014 belongs to a generation with a different vision of the world, could determine a very important difference in presidential policy towards Cuba, obviously for the better.<\/span><\/p>\n

On the other hand, it should be noted that the signs supporting a more positive (or less negative) Cuba policy are not limited to the figure of the current vice president. Because of that \u201cyou can tell who someone is by the company they keep.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What to expect?<\/b><\/p>\n

Philip H. Gordon<\/span><\/a>, her National Security Advisor, is the author of the book <\/span>Losing the Long Game<\/span><\/i><\/a>, a forceful criticism of U.S. regime change policies in other nations.<\/span><\/p>\n

Although this 2020 publication focuses on the Middle East region, it contains several historical references to Cuba, in order to illustrate the ineffectiveness and unforeseeable negative consequences \u2014 both for the affected nations and for the interests of the United States \u2014 of the regime change policies. In contrast to them, Gordon argues in favor of the application of policies based on diplomacy, negotiation and constructive engagement.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is evident that none of the elements mentioned above are a guarantee that, in a possible Kamala Harris administration, the United States will resume the path taken during the Obama administration or, at least, try to get closer in some way. But after four horrific years of <\/span>Trump policy<\/span><\/a> and another four years of utterly disappointing <\/span>Biden policy<\/span><\/a>, hope is the only thing we have left to lose.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
