The United States began voting on Tuesday to choose its new president. The fight is between incumbent President Donald Trump and Democratic candidate Joe Biden. Many see the election as a referendum on Donald Trump’s presidency and his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic. Biden has urged Americans to restore democracy to the country, attacking Trump’s style of running the government.
Here are the live updates on Dr. Roy’s analysis of the US presidential election:
To win, you have to win all 20 safe Republican states and two undecided states.
Midwestern states vote Republican.
Dr. Roy: Democrats are predominantly on the east and west coasts – strong support.
Dr. Roy: The US can be divided into four types of states.
Neha Dewan: Donald Trump just called India dirty on national TV. Suspended H1B, the traditional way for Indians to come here. Photographs do not help the community. He is allied with dictators and fought with our traditional allies.
- People come here for opportunities. Kamala Harris never identified herself as an American Indian. He never appeared at the first event. She was more African American.
- Donald Trump has had a very successful tenure. We saw high GDP figures.
- We don’t want to leave anything to chance. It is not over yet. Millions continue to vote. I can not risk.
- We have seen an unprecedented number of voters. People are taking this much more seriously. The job isn’t done until voting closes. People take their civic duties seriously.
Dorab Sopariwala: Donald Trump has gone against all Republican policies. He is not a Republican or a Democrat, he is Trump.
Nidhi Razdan:
- This is an election in which the whole world is watching what will happen in the next 24-48 hours.
- Donald Trump has undermined a number of agencies: IMF, WHO, Trade Pacts. This choice will have huge repercussions.
- Joe Biden will speak more on human rights issues.
In 2016, the United States was divided and polarized. Hillary’s voters weren’t thrilled. In 2020, Democrats are totally excited about getting rid of Trump. We didn’t have that in 2016.
American democracy is going through some fundamental changes. I’ll say something tonight. If Trump wins, I will say that something is wrong with American democracy. And if he is removed, I would say that American democracy is advancing in the right way.
How Donald Trump performed in the 2016 presidential election.
In 2016, fivethirtyeight.com had predicted a 70% chance of winning for Hillary Clinton. This time around, they’ve given a whopping 90 percent chance of winning the Democratic nominee.
Joe Biden’s projected margin of victory is much more than was predicted in 2016.
Poll forecasts say Joe Biden leads over Donald Trump. The margin of victory, according to the forecasts, could be 8.4 percent.
Poll forecasts give Joe Biden a clear lead
This election is the first in which leaders have lied and the media has run a fact-checking spree.
Opinion polls say voters hate Trump more than they like Biden. The more educated white voters will vote for Biden while the less educated will vote for Trump.
Dr. Roy: This election is more polarized than ever. I’ve never heard people say: Get out there and vote because your vote can save America.
