The Great H1-B Divide

A schism over policy underpins the shifting allegiances in Donald Trump’s coalition, with billionaires like Elon Musk clashing with nativist MAGA supporters over the future of visas programmes

Trump and Indian-American...

If confirmed, five Indian-Americans are likely to be top-tier players in the new US administration, rewarded for their ideological beliefs and personal loyalty to President-elect Donald Trump. Not surprisingly, several are lawyers with considerable public involvement in Republican and right-wing political issues. Despite a slim Republican majority, all are not assured of confirmation by the US Senate, which must approve top-level presidential appointments

Questionable Appointments...

The President-elect has chosen a different criterion for selecting his cabinet than during his last term. Now, relevant experience or educational background appears unnecessary. His unwillingness to select people based on competence and reputation to manage departments that spend billions of taxpayer dollars and have tens of thousands of employees is a problem for politicians and those organizations focused on responsible government

Looking Ahead, and Back

Kamala Harris has been taking some personal time after a four-month rushed campaign for the top spot. Her seven more weeks as vice-president end with Trump’s inauguration on January 20, 2025.

Fear Trumps Hope

Donald Trump’s strong victory for a second term return to the US presidency marks the end of 80 years of political alignments where America supported an age of global democracy, not without missteps, but generally with national independence as a key goal. In making this choice, the American citizens have trashed the post-World War II approach by backing a candidate who openly dismisses diversity and equality as key elements of a nation built on immigration over 250 years

Stark Differences

India and the world will have to wait several days or more to analyze the consequences of presidential polls with its global implications for democracy and authoritarianism

Down to the Wire

Duelling presidential candidates on America’s political menu offer a stark choice between a long-standing constitutional democracy and a contentious autocracy that will ultimately impact the globe. Nearly 150 million votes cast must be counted in 50 separate states across five time zones, then certified by each state’s officials, leaving plenty of room for confusion
