At a recent event organized by the conservative organization Moms for Liberty, former President Donald Trump once again boasted about the power that comes with the presidency of the United States. During his speech, Trump declared that "you can do it all" while holding the highest office in the country, referring to the broad capabilities a president has to make political decisions, particularly regarding closing the border. His remarks have reignited the debate over the use of executive power and its implications for immigration policy and the rule of law. This speech not only highlights Trump’s view of exercising power but also takes place in a context where politics is increasingly divided. As the 2024 presidential elections approach, candidates face a complicated landscape, as voters are more polarized than ever. A recent poll revealed that Kamala Harris, the current vice president and Democratic candidate, holds a 16-point advantage over Trump among Latino voters, a crucial demographic for the election outcome. While Trump positions himself as a defender of traditional values and parental rights, Harris seeks to connect with Latino voters through inclusive policies and recognition of this community's concerns. In this sense, the Latino electorate is becoming increasingly relevant in the political arena, and both candidates’ ability to resonate with their concerns could be a decisive factor in the elections. In the backdrop of this electoral climate, Trump’s legal situation also occupies a central role. Recently, the Supreme Court issued a ruling granting the former president immunity in certain aspects related to his office, although it limited this protection in unofficial matters. This decision has led special prosecutor Jack Smith to adjust his legal strategy, reducing some charges against Trump while maintaining the original charges of conspiracy and obstruction. Trump has insisted that he won the 2020 elections, and although this claim has been debunked multiple times, it remains a central part of his rhetoric. His insistence that "we got the most votes that anyone ever did" reflects both his need to reclaim his legacy and his strategy to galvanize his base of supporters, who continue to back him unconditionally. However, it is important to note that American politics is changing. As the elections approach, voters are becoming more informed and aware of the power dynamics within the system. While Trump revels in what he considers advantages of the presidency, citizens are more interested in how these decisions impact their daily lives. On the other hand, Harris's administration faces the challenge of demonstrating that it can address voters' concerns while navigating a complicated electoral landscape. Migration remains a hot topic, not only for Latinos but for many Americans who have seen how immigration policies affect their communities. In this context, the strategies of both candidates will be put to the test. While Trump seeks to consolidate his narrative of absolute power, Harris needs to present an alternative vision that resonates with the values of inclusion and diversity that characterize many Latino voters. Ultimately, the political future of the United States seems to depend not only on the candidates' past actions but also on their ability to adapt to an evolving electorate. With every statement and every legal change, a new chapter opens in an ongoing story where power and politics intertwine in unexpected ways.
