The June 23 Democratic
primary here could be a temperature
test on the state of
America and may well be the
first electoral referendum to
decide the political climate for
/ against sympathizers siding
with attorney Benjamin Crump,
— the family lawyer for George
Lloyd who immediately following
a graphic display of police
misconduct in Minneapolis,
Minnesota demanded justice in
America — or those advocating/
dissenting four more years
for President Donald Trump
who responded to protesters
in Washington D.C. by gassing
a gathering of Americans in
order to stage a photo message
in front of a church holding a
Bible.
Although neither the names
Crump nor Trump will appear
on the ballot on that date, the
fact both have dominated news
cycles throughout the month,
New Yorkers will take the
opportunity to offer a prognosis
on the Nov. 3 general election.
At stake, 224 pledged delegates
in 27 congressional districts.
In each district seven delegates
to the national convention
will be decided as well as
congressional representatives,
state senators, state committee
members, civil court judges,
and 11 from the long list
of ambitious Democrats who
aspired to unseat the Republican
leader.
Although 10 from the party
already suspended their campaigns
yielding to endorsements
for former vice president
Joe Biden, absentee ballots list
the rivals for purposes related
to acquiring delegates.
Biden has already secured
1993 pledged delegates, enough
to win the nomination as the
presidential choice of the Democratic
Party.
On primary day Trump will
be tested.
He will be examined for
his response to the coronavirus
pandemic, which dubbed
NYC the epicenter of COVID-19
which accounted for more lives
lost than any other American
city.W
ith a still-growing national
casualty list of 117,858 accounted
deaths, New York took the
lion share reporting just under
30,000 lives lost from the infectious
respiratory virus.
As a matter of fact, were it
not for relentless pleas from
Gov. Andrew Cuomo urging a
federal response for military
support, personal protective
equipment for essential workers,
and emergency funding to
erect temporary hospitals to
provide added ICU beds and
equipment perhaps a worsecase
scenario might now exist.
More than 20 states are now
experiencing spikes in infection
and deaths as numbers in New
York continue to decrease with
limited phase one progression
easing full quarantine condition.
Trump will also be judged by
the erratic NY Stock Exchange’s
fluctuating activity.
Earlier in the year Trump
boasted a booming economic
policy that he banked on would
secure reelection, however,
since the pandemic statistics
reveal 43 million Americans
reportedly are unemployed and
a $25 trillion debt threatens the
possibility of a second term.
In the fourth year of his first
term Trump faces a tough challenge
with Republican legislators
slowly distancing themselves
after military generals
openly criticized their commander
in chief for behaving
contrary to tenets of the constitution.
Not only will Republicans,
Democrats, Independents and
third party Americans vote
on primary day but already a
global constituency decided to
favor Crump over Trump.
Crump’s credentials weigh
heavily against Trump’s inability
to unify Americans. That
he disregarded the Minneapolis
coroner’s autopsy findings
to recommend an independent
examination of the cause of
death proved an international
eye-opener when that autopsy
revealed the obvious — that
Floyd’s death was attributed to
asphyxia from excessive and
extensive pressure, not poor
health.
