Democratic candidate Joe Biden cast his vote for the US presidential election on Wednesday. He hoped that he and other Democrats would be elected to “turn things around” and “improve the lives of ordinary people,” Biden said shortly before casting his vote in Wilmington, Delaware, where he lives.
Biden is one of 74 million US citizens who voted before the November 3 election due to the Corona crisis.
The incumbent Donald Trump had already cast his vote in Florida last Saturday. “I voted for a guy named Trump,” Trump said as he left the West Palm Beach electoral college.
Biden commented on his vote more soberly: “We just voted,” he said in the presence of his wife Jill.
Biden is ahead of Trump in the polls six days before the presidential election. On Saturday, the former vice president wants to appear for the first time together with the former president of the United States, Barack Obama, in an act of electoral campaign. The two want to discuss plans by Democrats in the key state of Michigan to “unite Americans to address the crisis in the country,” as Biden’s election campaign team announced.
Several states allow personal voting before Election Day on November 3. Due to the corona pandemic, experts expect many more voters to cast their ballots by mail this year than in other years.
According to data from the “United States Election Project” by political scientist Michael McDonald of the University of Florida, more than 73.9 million Americans have already made use of the possibility of early voting. This corresponds to about 54 percent of the total number of voters in 2016.
