Trump’s focus on the media’s obsession with the coronavirus is an admission that he has been unable to overcome the pandemic and direct coverage, as he has been able to do in the past.

The American newspaper “New York Times” said that the presidential elections, which began in earnest about two years ago, have finally arrived. Polls show that the campaign ends as it began, like a referendum on President Donald Trump. What’s new is that voters are also studying their handling of the coronavirus epidemic. Democrats believe they have an advantage that gives them a better way to get 270 electoral votes in the Midwest, the Southwest and even the “Sun Belt” which includes the southern tier of the United States. The Trump campaign acknowledges an arduous rally, but believes that strong engagement on Election Day can help it achieve a victory similar to that of 2016.
However, what happens on Tuesday may be the beginning of another chapter of this election, not a sign of its completion. Despite all efforts in the final phase of the election campaigns for President Trump and Senator Joseph Biden Jr., both sides are preparing for a protracted legal battle that could include government litigation, lengthy efforts to count votes, and manage the votes. expectations of the electoral bases of each.
Trump has added to the tension by suggesting that the Supreme Court, which now houses three of his carefully selected justices, could support him on election-related matters.
The newspaper said Tuesday that it will distinguish fact from fiction and justified fears from fiction. It will also answer the question that dominated politics for four years: Was Trump’s 2016 election a perfect electoral storm or a sign that the politician “Houdini” (magician) is preparing to surprise again?
Trump’s final message
Regarding the final message from each of the candidates to voters, The New York Times said that Trump, who is not known to adhere to previously prepared statements, did not deliver a clear final message to voters in recent weeks of the bell. Instead, his roaming speeches at rallies look a lot like party favors have something for everyone.
His main message to his followers is to ignore his eyes and ears and trust him that the worst of the Corona epidemic is over and that the “Covid-19” virus infection has claimed the lives of 230,000 Americans is not, in fact, a death sentence. Trump complained at a rally in Omaha last week, saying, “With the fake news, it’s all Covid, Covid, Covid, Covid. I get it. I’m here, right?”
The newspaper said Trump’s discussion of the media’s obsession with the Coronavirus is an admission that he has not been able to overcome the epidemic, nor direct coverage, as he has been able to do in the past. What he wants to talk about is Hunter Biden, the son of his Democratic rival, Joe Biden. The Trump campaign had always hoped to portray Biden and his family as corrupt, just as they did four years ago with Hillary Clinton. But the story is far from over, and Trump often complains about his inability to get the “mainstream media” to cover an unfounded New York Post report, based on unverified information. He also refuses to acknowledge that it is not an effective closing letter for him, as some Republicans believe. He said he had received a call from all the experts and former presidential candidates who had not reached the first stage of the race, warning him that he should talk about Hunter Biden. And they said, “You don’t have to say bad things about Biden because nobody cares.” Trump commented: “Maybe that’s why I’m here (as a candidate) and they aren’t.”
The New York Times added that Trump is fueling his speeches with baseless attacks on the electoral process. Last week, he claimed without real evidence that “there is electoral fraud every day.” It is part of his constant questioning of electoral integrity. Trump’s advisers said his best hope is that the president wins Ohio, and that Florida is very close to winning early in the evening, depriving Biden of a quick victory and giving Trump a way to undermine the health of the countless votes in the mail days later.
Biden closure letter
Biden’s campaign believes that what voters find in poor taste about the president and his administration may epitomize how they deal with the Corona epidemic. In the final stage, when Biden increased his travel program to states like Iowa, Georgia and Michigan, the message from the Democrats was unified, all about the coronavirus, all the time.
Biden’s campaign has several factors to consider on Election Day, to judge whether the message resonates or the campaign will continue into a longer night.
And on the electoral districts to watch, the newspaper said the first sign of Hillary Clinton’s defeat in 2016 was the mass of Democratic voters who did not participate. For Biden, this is the first thing the campaign seeks to reverse, and what he has the most control over. Battlefield states like North Carolina and Florida will be the first of the big tests on November 3, when they are expected to count votes relatively quickly. In those states, black voter turnout should be sought as the primary measure of Democratic turnout in the primaries on Election Day.
The “New York Times” believed that Biden has multiple paths to victory, and both campaigns know it. While the dream scenario includes early victories in Florida and North Carolina, closing Trump’s path to 270 electoral votes early in the evening, he also has some secondary options. Georgia and Arizona are two other battlefield states that should meet on election night, and where Biden could vote was for Trump in 2016. And if all else fails, there is the Midwest, acting the worst. of the Biden cases. Michigan and Pennsylvania said it would take several days to finish the voter count.
The newspaper considered that Tuesday is not only Biden’s day to be elected president, but it may be the beginning of a wave of Democrats in power nationwide. Last week, Biden went to states like Iowa and Georgia, which are crucial for Democrats seeking to control the Senate. If Biden is elected by a majority in Congress, he is creating a Democratic party firmly within his grasp, even as he struggles with powerful ideological divisions. It also gives them the opportunity to reverse the deficits of years in state legislatures across the country in the critical year of redistricting. All of this is on the table for the Democrats and Biden. It will soon be clear whether they have seized the opportunity.
