         <description><![CDATA[<div><strong>Summary in English</strong><br><strong> </strong>While Donald Trump’s autocratic response to the demonstrations has shocked young people into action in the US and beyond, advocates believe the movement against police brutality has energized youth voters to think beyond the presidential election, which could have a real impact on state and local elections, where decisions about policing and criminal justice are made.<br><br></div><div> Elmikashfi, who has been part of protests in Madison, Wisconsin’s capital city, said the brutal death of Floyd has “brought a lot of attention on down-ballot races”, but she isn’t sure whether that enthusiasm will carry over to the presidential election, where Joe Biden, the Democratic candidate, has faced criticism for his responses to the demonstrations.<br><br></div><div> Biden’s reaction to Floyd’s death, and the ensuing surge in protests nationwide, has included him musing that police officers could shoot suspects in the leg, “instead of in the heart”, a suggestion that seemed to overlook the issue of people of color being apprehended at far higher rates than white people.<br><br></div><div> Withers, who lives in Brooklyn, predicted that despite renewed enthusiasm, the turnout in 2020 would remain relatively low among people of color – due to efforts in states around the US to make it more difficult for black people, and other minority groups, from voting. <br><br></div><div> Since the Voting Rights Act was weakened in 2013, many states have brought in laws making it more difficult to vote, from purging people from electoral rolls if they have not voted in a given amount of time, to preventing efforts to register voters, to requiring government-issued photo ID to vote – something people of color and low-income Americans are less likely to have.<br><br></div><div><strong>Summary in Spanish</strong><br> Mientras la respuesta autocrática de Donald Trump hacia las manifestaciones ha movilizado a los jóvenes a la acción en los Estados Unidos y más allá, los defensores creen que el movimiento contra la brutalidad policial ha energizado a los votantes jóvenes a pensar más allá de la elección presidencial, lo que podría tener un impacto real en las elecciones estatales y locales, donde las decisiones acerca de la vigilancia y justicia criminal son llevadas a cabo.<br><br></div><div> Elmikashfi, quien ha sido parte de las protestas en Madison, capital de Wisconsin, dijo que la brutal muerte de Floyd ha “dirigido la atención hacia las elecciones”, pero ella no está segura acerca si ese entusiasmo se trasladará a las elecciones presidenciales, donde Joe Biden, el candidato demócrata, ha enfrentado críticas por sus respuestas a las manifestaciones.<br><br> La reacción de Biden a la muerte de Floyd, y el incremento posterior en protestas alrededor de la nación, lo ha incluido reflexionando que los policías podrían disparar a los sospechosos en la pierna, “en lugar de en su corazón”, una sugerencia que parece pasar por alto la problemática de la gente de color que es detenida en tasas mucho más altas que la gente blanca.</div><div><br></div><div> Withers, que vive en Brooklyn, predijo que a pesar del renovado entusiasmo, la participación en 2020 podría permanecer relativamente baja entre la gente de color, debido a los esfuerzos alrededor de los Estados Unidos para hacerlo más difícil para las personas negras, y otros grupos minoritarios.<br><br></div><div> Desde que la Ley de Derechos Electorales fue debilitada en 2013, muchos estados han promulgado leyes que dificultan la votación, desde expulsar personas de las listas de votación si ellos no han votado en una cantidad de tiempo dado, hasta previniendo los esfuerzos para registrar votos, o exigir una identificación con foto emitida por el gobierno, algo que las personas de color y los estadounidenses de bajos ingresos tienen menos probabilidades de tener.</div>]]></description>

For example some decisions during his presidency since 2016 and especially, for his statements about the protests against racism that the people organized after the murder of George Floyd in may of this year.

This young man was killed by the Minneapolis pólice and the news was known around the world. His death caused protests in the United States and in other countries. A movement called Black Lives Matter was made.<br> <br> For all these reasons, the democraty candidate –Joe Biden- became favorite in some states. In this context, Donald Trump felt the little support for his candidacy when, in june of this year, the people in charge of his campaign organized a meeting in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and few people attended.<br> <br> The event did not have the repercussion that they wanted. For this reason, the relationship between Trump and his campaign team broke down. This favored his opponent Biden according to the US media. For all these reasons, the event was considered a failure by the organizers and this situatión, at that moment, worried Trump because this could affect his reelection.<br><br>  In the first image, from August 12 of this year, we can see Joe Biden, the Democratic candidate for President of the United States, and Vice President candidate Kamala Harris held their first press conference after their formula was confirmed. Harris is the first black woman to be on the ballot for a major party, alongside Biden. This conference was held at Alexis I. Dupont High School in Wilmington, Delaware. Biden and Harris wore masks for prevention after the coronavirus pandemic. The differences between them regarding the health insurance system when they were competing for the Democratic nomination earlier this year are remembered by their opponents. The proposals were to improve health conditions for cases of coronavirus, the economy and promote anti-racists politics.<br><br> The murder of African-American George Floyd by a white police officer on May twenty-five  has provoked massive mobilizations in the USA. Among the protests was the participation of young people, so it is believed that they could have a great impact on this year's elections. However, two young people who are more skeptical spoke for a the guardian Article: Nadia Elmikashfi, twenty four, and Justin Whiters, twenty-three<br><br> Elmikasfi, who is a candidate for the state senate in Wisconsin and participated in several demonstrations, said Floyd's death has "drawn a lot of attention to the election," but she is not sure if that enthusiasm will carry over to the presidential election, where Democratic candidate Joe Biden has faced criticism for his responses to the demonstrations. At a Delaware church in front of African-American leaders, Biden said police officers could shoot suspects in the leg, "instead of in the heart.<br> <br> Withers, for his part, predicted that despite the renewed enthusiasm, voter turnout may remain relatively low among people of color because of efforts around the USE to make it more difficult for black people and other minority groups. That's because since the Voting Rights Act was weakened in two thousand thirteen, many states have enacted laws making it more difficult to vote, from removing people from the voting lists if they haven't voted in a given amount of time, to preventing efforts to register votes, to requiring government-issued photo ID, something that people of color and low-income Americans are less likely to have.<br><br> On August twenty-five , President Donald Trump signed a presidential pardon for Jon D. Ponder, a former bank robber who founded Hope for Prisoners, a Las Vegas organization that helps criminals return to workforce. family life and society. Richard Beasley, the former FBI agent who arrested Ponder for a two thousand four  Pahrump bank robbery was also present. He vowed to give all Americans, including former inmates, "the best chance to build a new life and achieve their own American dream." "We live in a nation of second chances," said Ponder, thanking members of the Metropolitan Police Department who volunteered their time to help Hope for Prisoners participants. The announcement appears to be an attempt by the president to draw voters' attention to criminal justice, after making substantial changes to federal prison and sentencing laws in  two thousand eighteen .<br><br> The twenty twenty presidential election this November is the "last guardrail" to protect the US from the continuation of Donald Trump's administration, John Bolton, the president's former national security adviser, has said.  Mr Bolton does not plan to vote for his former boss when he heads to the polls this November but said he would not support the likely Democratic candidate either.  Instead, he will write in the name of a "conservative Republican" on his twenty twenty presidential election ballot, a spokeswoman said in a statement on Sunday.  Mr Bolton, who previously served three other Republican presidents in various national security and diplomatic roles, became Mr Trump's third national security adviser in April twenty eighteen.  <br><br> There were two presidential debates between the two candidates that  took place ahead of the November three elections. All this in a nervous electorate, where concerns about rights and secure voting amid the coronavirus pandemic are at a fever pitch.<br> These were held on September twenty-nine and October twenty-two. There was a third virtual debate, planned for October fifteen, but it was canceled due to disagreements on the format by the candidates. In each debate, there were proposals and statements on topics such as: the coronavirus, taxes, the economy, racism, etc. The debate was broadcast on television for all voters in the United States.<br><br> In conclusion, the United States has an electoral system different from ours in Argentina. This year has been a period of complete instability. The massive cases of covid nineteen and the demonstrations following the death of George Floyd on May twenty-five have influenced the result of last Tuesday. Donald Trump lost these elections due to the mismanagement he carried out in the country in terms of economic and social issues. Also for the statements he made and the treatment he had regarding these events that occurred during the final stretch of his presidency.<br> Another reason is related to the fact that it was a period of highly mobilized elections in terms of voting methods.<br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div> En este año hemos aprendido de qué forma se desarrollan las elecciones presidenciales en Estados Unidos: son diferentes a las de los otros países, principalmente por el uso de determinada cantidad de electores que posee cada Estado, los cuales van en su totalidad al candidato que logre la mayor cantidad de votos en el mismo; y el bipartidismo que existe en el país (demócratas vs. republicanos) que deja un espacio casi nulo a otros partidos alternativos. Trump, representante de los republicanos, fue presidente durante cuatro años marcados por su particular discurso, marcadamente nacionalista (como dice su lema: “<em>make America great again</em>”), viéndose reflejado en sus políticas migratorias (énfasis en construir un muro entre EE.UU. y México para evitar el paso de inmigrantes ilegales), medioambientales (salida del acuerdo de París) y económicas (ámbito prioritario, con recortes de impuestos a empresas y por momentos en pos del medio ambiente). <br><br></div><div> 2020 fue un año particular, marcado por la pandemia del Coronavirus, que tuvo un gran impacto en el resultado de estas elecciones, ya que se criticó durante varios meses el accionar de Trump que disminuyó en variadas ocasiones el verdadero riesgo de esta enfermedad (actualmente EE. UU. es el país con mayor cantidad de muertos). Asimismo, las protestas y las movilizaciones contra el racismo comenzaron luego del asesinato del afroamericano George Floyd en manos de dos policías blancos.  Este movimiento llamado “Black Lives Matter” consistía en reclamos por parte de la población estadounidense y pedidos de igualdad de derechos para las personas de color. Estos factores alimentaron la tensión. La opinión de la sociedad se vio bastante polarizada, por lo que la principal incógnita fue si Biden recibiría la suficiente cantidad de votos para el cargo de Trump.<br><br></div><div> Con este trabajo comenzamos a leer noticias periodísticas en inglés, lo que nos llevó a tener que aprender nuevas palabras y conceptos relacionados con el tema. Fue un proceso investigativo que permitió estar en completa atención a cada noticia que ocurría durante las elecciones presidenciales. Abarcar diversos diarios y medios virtuales de Estados Unidos mejoró nuestra práctica de lectura en inglés. También tuvimos que incorporar la pronunciación del inglés para la presentación del portafolio, lo que incluyó una mejor comprensión del idioma en su versión oral. En un año tan particular, tener que trabajar vía Zoom fue complicado pero se logró el objetivo deseado. Ha sido un desarrollo por el cual aprendimos a utilizar diferentes herramientas. Nos pareció buena la forma en que se combinó las imágenes, videos y texto. Siempre priorizando dar una buena información, con redacción y detalle, para los lectores de nuestro portafolio. También nos sirvió incorporar conocimientos sobre Padlet, puesto que puede ser una herramienta aprovechable en el futuro para otros proyectos. A pesar de la virtualidad, nos hemos reunido en gran cantidad de ocasiones para poder llevar a cabo las entregas y la presentación. </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div><strong> Descripción en español:</strong> <br>El 25 de agosto, el presidente Donald Trump firmó un indulto presidencial para Jon D. Ponder, un ex ladrón de bancos que fundó “Hope for Prisoners”, una organización de Las Vegas que ayuda a los delincuentes a reintegrarse a la fuerza laboral, a la vida familiar y a la sociedad. También estaba Richard Beasley, el ex agente del FBI que arrestó a Ponder por el robo de un banco en Pahrump en 2004. En un video de siete minutos grabado dentro de la Casa Blanca, antes de que la Convención Nacional Republicana (RNC) convocara su segunda noche con el tema “Tierra de Oportunidades”, Trump calicó la vida de Ponder como "un hermoso testimonio del poder de la redención". Se comprometió a dar a todos los estadounidenses, incluyendo a los ex presidiarios, “la mejor oportunidad de construir una nueva vida y lograr su propio sueño americano”. “Vivimos en una nación de segundas oportunidades”, menciono Ponder al agradecer a los miembros del Departamento de Policía Metropolitana que ofrecieron su tiempo para ayudar a los participantes de Hope for Prisoners. El anuncio parece ser un intento del presidente de llamar la atención de los votantes sobre la justicia penal, luego de realizar cambios sustanciales a las leyes federales de prisión y sentencia en 2018. <br><br> <strong>Description in english:</strong><br> On August 25, President Donald Trump signed a presidential pardon for Jon D.
