The upcoming U.S. presidential election is poised to significantly impact foreign policy, with Vice President Kamala Harris expected to continue President Biden's legacy of strengthening alliances amidst global tensions, particularly from authoritarian regimes. While Harris has been characterized as an extreme candidate by some, particularly among Evangelical voters concerned about her stance on abortion, her foreign policy approach could resonate with liberal democracies like Australia striving to maintain a rules-based international order. Immigration remains a critical issue, with a surge in crossings at the southern border highlighting vulnerabilities for Democrats, while economic concerns overshadow immigration's importance among voters. A Pew Research analysis reveals stark divisions between Harris and Trump supporters on military and foreign policy, with a majority favoring strong military engagement, yet differing on the importance of compromising with allies. Overall, the election's outcome will likely shape both domestic and international landscapes, as voters weigh issues like the economy, immigration, and foreign relations in their decision-making.
