As Walid Sharara says in the Lebanese News, “The sudden high participation rates in the presidential elections are an unpleasant surprise for Donald Trump. The latter had previously warned, during an election festival last Saturday, of the occurrence of ‘very bad events’ if the identity of the winner was announced on the 3rd day. In November, he expected that chaos would prevail in his country. Trump, on more than one occasion in the past weeks, hinted at the possibility of fraud due to remote voting.

The writer adds that “Trump’s rejection of the election results and the possibility that he will challenge their results before the courts, in addition to other factors such as the United States drowning in weapons and its previous dark record in civil wars, indiscriminate killing, in addition to severe class struggle, slavery and other things, and the growth of movements calling for the supremacy of the white race In the Trump era, increasing racial injustice against blacks and police brutality are all likely reasons for the possibility of violence. “

Hamid Al-Hammoud asserts in Al-Qabas in Kuwait, “In light of Trump’s disregard for extremist organizations, these organizations are currently preparing to provoke violence when given the signal in the event of Trump’s failure, which is one of the manifestations of increasing arms and ammunition sales in many American cities.”

Under the title “Super Tuesday”, Hussein Shobokshi says in the London Middle East that “the increasing possibility of resorting to armed violence, to express anger among supporters of the candidates, should not be overlooked. This is a very serious threat if we take into account the staggering and unprecedented volume of arms sales in the country.” The past six months, and the public threats spread through social media in a frightening way, forcing some of the mayors of major cities to take pre-emptive and precautionary measures to protect the main government sites and shops, for fear of tampering, burning and being destroyed by the angry groups.

Ibrahim Abrash says in the same newspaper, “Although many in the region betting on the American elections, including the Palestinian leadership that postponed the elections and the reconciliation file in a bet on Biden’s victory, the latter’s victory will not change much in the major issues and strategic positions, especially since the policy and position The Democratic Party is known to the region and to Israel and the Palestinians. “

The writer adds, “Biden will not back down from supporting Israel … and he will not back down from moving the headquarters of the American embassy to Jerusalem, nor will he force Israel to stop settlement and annexation policy, and he will also stress the importance of Arab normalization with Israel.”

On the other hand, Al-Khatib’s prescription in Al-Araby Al-Jadeed of London says, “Joe Biden’s victory will mean a new beginning for the region, and will result in changes at the political level. And those affected by Trump’s defeat will be Saudi Crown Prince Muhammad bin Salman, followed by Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, who faces major challenges Ali Both levels, internal and external … “.

And about the impact of the winner of the American elections on the Arab countries, Khairallah Khairallah says in the London-based Arabs, “Biden came as president or not. The countries of the region are supposed not to be at the mercy of any outside party in the face of challenges … regardless of who will reside in the White House.” .
