As Americans head to the polls in record numbers to select one individual to the world’s most prominent and contentious position, a new film by JEM presents the Rebbe’s take on US presidential elections. Notably, the Rebbe addresses the transformation that must occur within the victor, and how he must pivot from “campaign mode” – rallying and exciting his supporters – to “presidential mode,” where he must represent the needs of every citizen in the country.
A similar transformation must occur in the populous, the Rebbe explains. After a spirited (and sometimes divisive) process, once the majority speaks, the decision belongs to all the people, and they must pull together to propel the country forward.
