Analysts say that the U.S. Democratic Party's failure to reinvent the government has had a significant impact on domestic issues such as the economy and illegal immigrants, as well as the war between Ukraine and Gaza.

Republican candidate Donald Trump, who won the presidential election, sought to differentiate himself from the Democratic administration by actively criticizing President Joe Biden's foreign policy even before he began his full-fledged campaign.

Trump, in particular, has clearly set his sights on the Joe Biden administration's aggressive military support for Ukraine.

The question is whether there is a reason to spend astronomical budgets on Ukraine, which is not directly related to U.S. economic interests, and Trump also called for an end to the war through negotiations at a presidential election TV debate in September, saying, "America's best interest is to end the war."

Most Democratic supporters disagreed, but conservatives in the diplomatically isolationist U.S. cheered Trump's claims.

In addition, as the war in Ukraine has prolonged, fatigue has spread not only among conservatives but also among ordinary voters, and it is analyzed that votes have begun to falter.

This is because international oil prices and various raw material prices, which have soared since the war in Ukraine, have also had an impact on the U.S. economy.

In fact, it turns out that voters give higher marks to Trump's approach.

According to a poll released by the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) on the 12th of last month, 50% of the respondents chose former President Trump when asked which candidate they thought could handle the war in Ukraine better.

The Gaza war also appears to have served as a negative factor for the Democratic Party.

The Biden administration condemned the terrorist attacks by Palestinian militant Hamas on October 7 last year and promised full support for Israel, a key ally in the Middle East.

Emphasizing the need for humanitarian aid to Gaza, he has also been actively involved in ceasefire negotiations, and has reportedly pressured Israel to avoid crude oil or nuclear facilities, especially if it attacks Iran.

In comparison, Trump sided more clearly with Israel, including supporting Israel's strike on Iran's nuclear facilities, pointing out that it was an environment in which Trump could receive relatively high scores given the U.S. public opinion that is more favorable to Israel.
