YACC Organization released an analysis addressing how U.S. elections may shape the trajectory of the Southern Cause. The analysis focuses on four primary dimensions: positioning within any future political settlement, U.S. regional relationships, the strategic importance of southern stability near Bab al-Mandab for Red Sea maritime security, and Washington's priorities regarding development aid programs.

The analysis also outlines contrasting policy tendencies between the two major U.S. political parties. It notes that an emphasis on diplomacy and political settlements could expand room to present the Southern Cause in negotiation tracks, whereas an approach prioritizing security interests and counter-threats elevates the strategic geographical positioning of the South in U.S. calculations.
