Marek Koten Analysed the U.S. Presidential Election During the Election Night on ČT24

On 5 November 2024, Marek Koten participated in the election night coverage on ČT24, where he provided expert commentary during more than eight hours of continuous broadcasting. He offered insights into the current economic and political situation in the United States and its potential influence on the outcome of the presidential election.

He stated from the outset that he had no doubt about the victory of Republican candidate Donald Trump. In his analysis, he identified several key factors that he believes significantly contributed to Trump’s success. Among these were the deteriorating economic situation caused by the fiscally expansive policies of the Biden administration, the unmanaged migration crisis at the southern border resulting in a massive influx of illegal migrants, and the weakened position of the United States on the international political stage.

According to Marek Koten, Trump’s election may bring greater stability to both the United States and the global community. From the European perspective, he highlighted the potentially positive impact of Trump’s pressure on strengthening defence policy and increasing military budgets—areas that European countries have long underestimated while relying on U.S. military support and taking American security guarantees for granted.
