President Trump and former Vice President Joseph R. with a presidential discussion tonight in Nashville. The rivalry between Biden Jr. is entering its final chapter. And once again voters are being reminded of how the epidemic has completely beaten this race for the White House.
In a general election year, both candidates would have gone out for non-stop swings in the battlefield states of Nashville, spending their days with big races, appealing to both supporters and outcasts to try to decide who to support. Mr. Trump has vowed to continue to make a live appearance in front of big people in defiance of the advice of medical experts. But Mr. Biden will avoid the advice of health professionals, largely limiting his campaign to smaller and more controlled events that respect the rules of social distance, and he has been at the forefront of this bizarre campaign.
Does it matter?
This is the time of election season when candidates make their closed arguments and urge supporters to move forward. As Mr. Trump continues his rhetoric, he is well aware of how effective it can be to generate excitement among supporters, as he saw at his massive rallies in 2016. George W. Bush showed the power of show in 2004 when he arrived for a rally in Ohio on election day and correctly calculated that excitement and attention from a last-minute visit could complete the finish line through him. He defeated his Democratic rival, John F. Kerry defeated Ohio by just 51 percent of the vote.
But that doesn’t mean Mr Biden is at a disadvantage these last days. Since the onset of the coronavirus, it has run a restricted campaign regarding the virus, including significantly less travel, fewer public events, and fewer news conferences. He made some criticisms, but he works to his advantage if the vote is to be believed. And one of the reasons Mr. Trump has a lot more money than he does this final week is because he had far fewer expenses. It adds planes, motorcades, hotel rooms and catered meals.
If Mr. Biden wins, future presidential candidates can compare the Trump and Biden campaign in the Covid era as a case study of how to campaign in the digital age. All those trappings of a modern-day campaign – the ambiguity of rallies, a fully-fledged chartered plane, a night at a motel (well, on the Westin) – might not be needed to win the White House.
WASHINGTON – Both Iran and Russia have obtained U.S. voter registration data, national security officials announced late Wednesday evening, providing the first concrete evidence that both countries are trying to influence the presidential election as it enters its final two weeks. .
Iran used the information to intimidate voters, send fake emails, said FBI Director Christopher A. in an evening announcement from National Intelligence Director John Ratcliffe and Bureau headquarters. Intelligence agencies gathered information that Iran planned to take further steps to influence the vote in the coming days, so that an unusual time of briefing would be indicated as an attempt to prevent further action.
There is no indication that the height of any election result has changed or the information on who is registered to vote was altered, any of which could affect the outcome of the polls that have begun across the country. That officials do not claim that both nations have entered the voter registration system has left open the possibility that it is available to anyone who knows where to look.
According to an intelligence official, the voter data obtained by Iran and Russia was largely public, and Iran was using it for political purposes. Voter names and party registrations are publicly available. According to intelligence officials, that information has been merged with other identifying materials, such as email addresses obtained from other databases, including some sold by criminal hacking networks on the “dark web”.
“This data can be used by foreign actors to try to misinform registered voters that they hope there will be confusion, chaos and damage to your faith in American democracy,” Mr. Ratcliffe said.
The administration’s announcement, a foreign adversary to Iran, tried to influence the election by sending threatening emails, was a direct warning and a reminder of how other powers could exploit vulnerabilities exposed in 2016 by Russia’s intervention. Mr. Trump’s hand. For weeks he has argued that, without evidence, the Nov. 3 vote would be “hardened”, that mail-in ballots would lead to widespread fraud and could only be defeated if his opponents cheated.
Now, on the eve of the second debate, they have evidence of a foreign influence campaign designed to harm their chances of re-election, even if they do not affect the voting structure.
Some of the spoiled emails sent to Democratic voters are believed to be from pro-Trump far-right groups, including Promised Boys. Iranian hackers tried to cover their tracks, intelligence and security officials said, the first compromise being to route emails through the Saudi insurance company network. They later sent more than 1,500 emails using the Estonian textbook company’s website, according to an analysis by researchers at the cybersecurity firm Proofpoint.
So far some officials have insisted that Russia is the main threat to the election. Republican and Democratic officials said the new data shows that Iran is building on Russian technologies and trying to make it clear that it is also capable of winning elections.
National polls have consistently shown that white college-led voters voted for President Joseph R. Biden is supporting Jr. But in Georgia, too, large demographics and demographic changes The state has been dragged to the left in recent years, with the majority of such voters staying firmly in Mr. Trump’s camp.
Recent polls show that these voters have helped Trump maintain his razor-thin lead over Mr. Biden for the Georgia suburban vote. His continued support is crucial to the chances of a president in the state, whose 1 electoral vote is needed for his re-election path and where voting shows both candidates neck and neck.
Georgia may be in the Deep South, but with a declining population of white voters without degrees, a steady, decades-long influx of young, educated and unfamiliar voters – whose support helped boost Mr. Trump’s 2016 victory – increasingly in the game for Democrats. From unusual and first-time voters to historic historic turnout in the 2018 Pride contest in support of Statie Abrams, the same year the Doubt-Ballet Democrats proved the party’s efficiency, winning Lucy M. B. Cabeth over Karen Handel in Newt Gingrich’s former congressional district. Trump era.
For a president who has maintained the loyalty of white, Republican-leaning degree holders, all is important. In a New York Times / Siena College College survey on Tuesday, Mr. Trump and Mr. Biden were tied at 45 percent of Georgia’s potential voters, but Mr. Trump led Mr. Biden by 12 percentage points among college-educated white voters (although that is a significant contraction since 2016, when Mr. Trump won the same group by 20 percentage points).
According to more than a dozen voters in and around Atlanta, how they are currently preventing them from jumping aboard is not so deeply ingrained for Mr. Trump, but there is a danger of creating “unrighteousness” if Democrats take the White House. Trump has spent the last few months furthering this fear, his campaign “Antifa Thugs Win the Suburbs Will Rejoin!” Was sending texts with such warnings!
The poll suggests that in many war-torn states where protests have turned violent this summer, the message has not been broken. But in Georgia, many voters said Mr. Trump’s appeal for “law and order” struck a chord, and almost all cited a fear that calls for “policing” by some progressives would be fulfilled during Biden’s presidency.
“Riots, pressure to defame the police – that’s not the direction our country needs to go,” said Natalie Pontius, a 48-year-old interior decorator and alumnus of the University of Georgia. “I think the Democratic Party is constantly trying to come up with ways to divide us.”
