On the eve of the US presidential elections, yesterday the intensity of the presidential battle between the two candidates increased. On the final day of the campaign, Donald Trump described polls that expect Joe Biden to win the race as “rigged.” While his Democratic opponent said, “It’s time for Trump to pack his bags and go home.”
And it may be one of the most enthusiastic elections in American history to elect the 46th president of the United States, and the surprises you can witness in terms of determining the winner at the end of election day between President Donald Trump and his Democratic rival. Joe Biden, and the fact that neither of them admitted defeat, especially after Trump questioned opinion polls. Referring to the progress of rival Biden, will an American nightmare scenario begin for a contested election?
Recounts begin, and as lawsuits are filed against the rejected ballots, civil unrest begins across the country, and shortly thereafter, a legal appeal is sent to the United States Supreme Court for a ruling on the issue and who will become president.
Joe Biden or Donald Trump, to win a gold traffic ticket to enter the White House, they must win 270 or more electoral votes, because the president is not chosen directly by the electorate, but by what is known as the electoral college. .
Trump anticipated the results by denouncing the “fraudulent” opinion polls that he expected his Democratic rival to win, expressing his confidence in a victory.
“Tomorrow, we will win four more years in the White House,” Trump told supporters in Fayetteville, North Carolina, in his first of five meetings on the last day of the campaign.
For months, polls showed that Biden was the favorite to win the presidential election.
According to average polls established by RealClearPolitics, Joe Biden leads the race, with 51% of voting intentions, by 6.7 points over Donald Trump (44.3%).
This progress has been fairly stable during the months of the campaign, although sometimes it reaches about ten points. The current difference is more than double what Hillary Clinton got on the eve of the vote four years ago.
At the time, opinion polls were relatively correct regarding the popular vote that the Democratic candidate won.
For his part, Biden said during a rally in Ohio on the eve of the election that the United States “was satisfied with the chaos it witnessed” during the Trump presidency.
“We are full of chaos,” Biden said. We were fed up with tweets, anger, hatred, failure and irresponsibility ”. He added: “It is time for Donald Trump to pack his bags and go home.”
On the last day, the two presidential candidates held their electoral meetings, as these strategic meetings appear that each candidate follows to win this competition.
Trump preferred to dedicate this day to holding rallies in four states that he won in 2016, after polls showed that his opponent could return them to the Democrats. As for Joe Biden, he decided to visit only two states, Pennsylvania and Ohio, which were in the Republic quota in previous elections.
Trump has sought support in four crucial states, while his Democratic rival, Joe Biden, will focus on Pennsylvania and Ohio on the final day of the campaign in his long and bitter run for the White House.
But the race is sweeping enough swing states to allow Trump to collect the 270 votes needed to win the electoral college that determines the winner, to avoid becoming the first president to lose re-election since his Republican colleague George HW Bush in 1992. , which is why Trump held election rallies yesterday in North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and two in Michigan.
Trump won those states in 2016 against Democrat Hillary Clinton, but opinion polls show that Biden is threatening to win back the Democrats.
Trump concluded his campaign in Grand Rapids, Michigan, the same place where he concluded his 2016 presidential campaign with a massive rally just after midnight on Election Day.
For their part, Biden and his wife and vice-presidential candidate Kamala Harris and her husband spent most of the final day in Pennsylvania, each addressing one of the four pillars of the state that became vital to the former vice president’s hopes.
Biden brought together union members and African Americans in the Pittsburgh area before singer Lady Gaga joined him for an evening parade in Pittsburgh.
Biden also headed to neighboring Ohio, to spend time on the final day of his campaign in a state that was once considered a victory for Trump, who won it in 2016, but where polls now show close competition.
Biden traveled almost exclusively to the states Trump won in 2016 and criticized the president’s handling of the coronavirus epidemic, which had dominated the final stages of the election race.
Biden accuses Trump of failing to fight the epidemic that has killed more than 230,000 Americans and cost millions of jobs. Polls show Americans have more confidence in Biden than in Trump to fight the virus.
92.2 million Americans cast their votes early, a record. And they voted in person or by mail, according to the US Election Project, which represents about 40 percent of eligible voters. The initial boom led Michael MacDonald of the University of Florida, which is running the project, to expect a record turnout of about 65 percent of registered voters, the highest rate since 1908.
A federal judge in Texas will decide yesterday whether Houston officials should disqualify the roughly 127,000 votes already cast while voters were in their cars in the Democratic-leaning region. A state Republican and others accuse Harris County Clerk Chris Hollins, who is a Democrat, of exceeding his constitutional authority by allowing voters to vote in their cars during the coronavirus pandemic.
