U.S. Presidential Elections: Which Party's Leadership is More Favorable for Azerbaijan?

Abstract

This topic is increasingly prominent in the global media as the U.S. presidential elections approach. Following the July 21 announcement that Democratic Party nominee Joe Biden would withdraw from the 2024 U.S. presidential race and endorse Vice President Kamala Harris, interest in the election has surged. Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev recently addressed questions regarding the upcoming U.S. presidential elections and Azerbaijan-U.S. relations during the Second Shusha Global Media Forum. Aliyev expressed a preference for Trump's administration. This article discusses the philosophies and ideologies of the ruling parties in the U.S. - the Democrats and the Republicans- and their impacts on governance. It also examines the implications of these ideologies for both the U.S. and global economies, with a specific focus on Azerbaijan, thereby connecting the audience to the global political landscape.
