As I stated in my comment, he takes direct leadership in his businesses and his businesses filed.

It happens. Anyone with a basic understanding of business knows every business won't be a success. I am familiar with his bankruptcies. That is how I know he has not personally filed for bankruptcy.

Bankruptcies are not “common” for successful business folks, but they do happen. Yes they are. They are very common. Small businesses fail at a very high rate. 20% in the first year. 49% within 5 years. 65% within ten years. https://www.commerceinstitute.com/business-failure-rate/#:~:text=What%20Percentage%20of%20Small%20Businesses%20Fail%3F%202024%20Data,and%2065.3%25%20fail%20in%20their%20first%2010%20years.

She has worked as a public servant in a legal capacity, which we can certainly agree is important for a modern society

I would rather someone with more experience in the real world lead the country. I can't say I am impressed with a lawyer who didn't know the difference between a business failing and a personal bankruptcy. That doesn't show the competence needed to run the country. Part of the reason she is expected to lose the election.
