The Democrats are locked in a head to head race under a unified, broad coalition on the national level \u2013 against Trump. However, winning the Senate and the House will determine if it is even possible to work towards a just normality that represents the people and reflects their hopes and desires. Diego Rivas analyses the US Elections and opportunities for progressive change.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 2020 US election was a battle for the soul of America. With everything from the right to healthcare to the environment on the line, the results will affect the daily lives of millions. However, this is not just about one battle. In electoral districts across the country, Democrats are running campaigns to win the House and Senate. These are the races that will determine if the United States are capable of implementing policies that can undo Trump\u2019s damage and move towards a more just normality. They also reflect a more honest picture of the United States: one that is racially, economically, and politically diverse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
