PRESENTATION OF THE POLITICAL AND GEOSTRATEGIC OBSERVATORY OF THE UNITED STATES Under the direction of Romuald Sciora, Associate Research Fellow at IRIS, the IRIS Political and Geostrategic Observatory of the United States aims to shed light on the presidential and legislative elections of 2024 and on developments in the contemporary United States, in particular their impact on Franco-American coo. [...] The Academy of Political Science, founded by Columbia University in New York, the Columbia-SIPA Urban and Social Policy Program and the Raoul- Dandurand Chair in Strategic and Diplomatic Studies at the Université du Québec à Montréal, are the Observatoire’s main academic partners. [...] It may seem hard to believe now, but on that morning of July 20th the Republicans had just completed a very successful convention, JD Vance had not quite revealed himself to be the strange and troubled man that he is, and the assassination attempt had humanized Trump a bit and made him seemingly less vulnerable to political attack. [...] In recent weeks, there has been so much change and disruption in this election that it is tempting to overlook the continuity, but in many respects this election looks a lot like it did a year ago with Trump and the Democratic nominee virtually tied and the party coalitions largely unchanged. [...] The election is still way too close to call and the possibility of Trump returning to power, and of accelerated democratic rollback in the United States is still very real.
