Current context in the United States
The political situation in the United States has become more uncertain following Joe Biden’s decision not to run again in the presidential elections. This announcement, which has been on the minds of many, has captured the attention of the media, who are examining what could happen in the four months remaining until the election. Biden, who remains president, has bowed to domestic pressures, especially after his ineffective debate performance with Donald Trump left many concerned.
The media reaction
The country’s newspapers have reacted differently to this news that marks a turning point. In particular, El País highlights on its cover the message that Joe Biden published on the social network X to announce his departure from the race, a practice that has become popular among several political leaders. For its part, El Mundo chooses to highlight Biden’s statement in which he mentions that his retirement is best for both his party and the nation.
Who will be the successor?
From here, questions arise about who could succeed Biden as the Democratic candidate. Although the president appears to support Kamala Harris, his vice president, this position is not universally accepted within the party, as indicated by the statements of Barack Obama, who has requested an ‘exceptional candidate.’ This summer promises to be turbulent for the Democratic Party, which is preparing for a retrograde campaign with a strengthened Donald Trump and still without a defined rival.
Movements in Catalonia
Meanwhile, Catalonia is also experiencing moments of political uncertainty. This Monday, a possible government formation is discussed. La Vanguardia highlights the demands of the Republican Left of Catalonia (ERC) to the Party of Socialists of Catalonia (PSC) so that an agreement is reached. His ultimatum could lead to new elections if a fiscal pact does not materialize. The deadlines are running out, and the situation does not seem to be moving forward clearly.
Conflicting perspectives
In this sense, La Razón mentions that the negotiations, carried out with great discretion, have encountered significant obstacles, which has generated a climate of pessimism. The medium also points to the constant pressure faced by the government of Pedro Sánchez, who is once again involved in controversies related to the independence of the attorney general, which could generate more criticism and complications. It remains to be seen how these events will develop in the coming days.
