A few hours before the vote for the presidency of the United States, the FBI backtracked and acquitted Clinton, acknowledging that her emails contained no elements of crime and that therefore the Democratic candidate for the White House will not be indicted.
Meanwhile, Hillary is rising in the polls, also driven by the vote of Hispanics who in a key state like Florida have not failed to support her en masse. Tomorrow will be the night of the new President of the United States that the whole world is waiting to meet.
In the last mile of his race, Trump risks paying dearly for the hard-hitting line against immigration, that of the wall with Mexico and the tightening on entrances. With the Washington Post defining the candidacy of the New York billionaire "an absolute demographic disaster" for the Republican party, which in recent years had tried more than ever to woo the bloc of Latino voters. Blockade that has become increasingly decisive in the US in terms of elections and which had already cost Mitt Romney the defeat in 2012.
But there are still about ten states that the polls show in the balance, where there is less than 5 points of difference between the two candidates, and in some there is still a head-to-head. It is here that a real hunt for the last vote is taking place in these hours, from Florida to Ohio, from Pennsylvania to North Carolina. Winning one of these states means acquiring a dowry of electors that can prove decisive in reaching the 'magic number' of 270 needed to win the presidency. However, the data from the latest surveys are a breath of fresh air for Hillary Clinton: ahead of 5 points for Abc/Washington Post (48% to 43%), by 4 points for Nbc/Wall Street Journal (44% to 40%) and by 3 points for Politico/Morning (45% to 42%).
The latest polls of Latino voters show that over 67% actually voted or will vote for Clinton, only 19% for Trump: that would be an all-time low for a Republican candidate. George W. Bush in 2004 won 44% of the Latinos vote, John McCain in 2008 31%, Mitt Romney in 2012 27%. Again, this may indeed be the key to the former first lady's eventual victory. Meanwhile, the media are beginning to imagine who will sit in the Oval Office with Hillary Clinton.
And one wonders who of his personal staff should or shouldn't enter the secret rooms. John Podesta, currently head of Hillary for America, appears to be on his way to a government post. For Jake Sullivan, political director of the campaign, a role of national security adviser or chief of the staff is being considered. And then Michele Flournoy, on pole for the Pentagon, and William Burns for the State Department. While there are doubts about the role of the faithful Huma Abedin, who together with her ex-husband is at the origin of the FBI storm.
