Answer:

Hope.

Step-by-step explanation:

Presidential campaigns almost always advertise base off of something the place it is advertising to needs, even today. The sun in this situation shining behind the presidential candidate is a way of showing the candidate in a more hopeful, possibly even angelic view, like a gaurdian angel or a new leader and protector.
