The president-elect of the United States, the Republican donald trumpwon the elections in the city of Springfield (Ohio), which had become famous during the campaign for the hoax promoted by the New York magnate himself about the Haitian immigrants who ate dogs and cats.
Trump got a 49.7% of the votes compared to 49.1% of Democrat Kamala Harris, a victory of just 135 votes but significant because it occurred in one of the main epicenters of the electoral campaign.
Four years ago, the current president, Democrat Joe Biden, removed more than 1,800 votes for Trump.
The president-elect used the loudspeaker during his face-to-face debate with Harris to affirm that in the city of Springfield “the people who arrived,” in reference to the Haitians, are eating “to the pets of the people who live there.”
This is a hoax that circulated during the election campaign through social networks, which captured the attention of the country’s main media outlets and was echoed, for example, by billionaire Elon Musk, a Trump ally.
This despite the fact that the local authorities, like the mayor himself, the Republican Rob Ruehad denied it.
Springfield, a city in the depressed ‘rust belt’ of Ohio, has seen the arrival of large numbers of migrants in recent years, especially of Haitian originthanks to the revival of its industry.
