Split in American elites not a surprise

The split in the American society and elites is neither a surprise, nor a new phenomenon, Permanent Representative of Belarus to the United Nations Valentin Rybakov said.

"We, being in New York and being engaged in the work related to the United Nations, of course, can only follow these processes as interested observers," said Valentin Rybakov. - What you call the split in the society and the American elites is not a surprise or a new phenomenon," said Valentin Rybakov.

According to him, this is due to the political system in the United States. "Legislators in the House of Representatives actually have no time to work, to really work, to deal with the implementation of their campaign promises. When people get into the House of Representatives for two years, they first fight to get there, and then they spend two years trying to keep that seat. The fact is that the economic situation is also quite difficult for the United States. We'll see what happens literally from the very first of January 2023, when the new House of Representatives begins its work. We'll see. My guess is that there will be a very, very fierce fight between Republicans and Democrats in the House."

"If the Democrats manage to keep control of the Senate, Biden's life will be a little easier. But not by much, since the main role in the American system is played by the House of Representatives," added Valentin Rybakov.
