Significance
The race to succeed Joe Biden pits Democratic Party nominee Kamala Harris, Biden’s vice president, against Republican Party nominee Donald Trump, president between 2017 and 2021. Washington’s approval ratings in the region rose after the transition from Trump to Biden.
Impacts
Regional leaders attending next month’s APEC and G20 summits in Peru and Brazil, respectively, will put Washington on their itineraries.
South-east Asian governments will strengthen ties with China, Japan and the EU to hedge against US distraction following the election.
Both Harris and Trump would give highest priority to the Philippines among Washington’s bilateral partners in the region.
