Peanut the squirrel and Fred the raccoon: In the latest survey related to the presidential election in America, there is a close contest between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump. 60 year old Harris is the presidential candidate from the Democratic Party and 78 year old Trump is the presidential candidate from the Republican Party. Meanwhile, the death of a squirrel and a raccoon has suddenly become a big issue in the American elections. You can imagine the controversy arising out of the death of these two animals from the fact that everyone from Trump to industrialist Elon Musk has raised it vigorously.

NYSDEC officials privatize X accounts

Let us tell you that Mark Longo's squirrel named Peanut, living in New York, was euthanized by the officers of the New York State Environmental Conservation Department (NYSDEC) after a rabies test.

Squirrel was famous on social media, Trump raised the issue

Peanut squirrel had millions of followers on social media, hence after knowing about his death, people's anger reached the seventh sky. Within no time, Peanut Squirrel's name started trending on X and other social media websites. Trump did not waste time in seizing this opportunity and termed the death of the squirrel and raccoon as 'the cruelty of the Democratic government'. The seriousness of this issue can be gauged from the fact that while usually something or the other was posted on NYSDEC's X accounts every day, there has been silence on this account for the last 5 days.

Will people saddened by the squirrel's death support Trump?

The biggest question that arises is whether people saddened by the death of Fred and Peanut will support Trump. Let us tell you that the issue of pets was raised a few days ago in the US elections. Many Republican Party leaders had said that immigrants coming from other countries are killing and eating the pets of Americans. There was a lot of debate on social media regarding this. Now, the death of Peanut and Fred just before the elections close could certainly create distance for the Democrats in the minds of those who were still on the fence. After Trump raised the issue, they may vote in favor of Republicans.
