In this year's U.S. presidential election, there was great interest in who would become the Democratic presidential candidate, but interest in the Republican side was not high. This is because there is no candidate to oppose President Trump.


Moreover, the impeachment trial, which had been a stumbling block for President Trump, is likely to be dismissed in the Senate impeachment trial on the 5th.


The Republican Party is expected to continue the one-man show of President Trump and proceed with the presidential candidate selection process. The final presidential candidate will be decided at the national convention in Charlotte, North Carolina, on August 27.



Meanwhile, the Democratic presidential candidate opposing Trump will be decided at the national convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on July 16.
