The United States Presidential Elections 2020 scheduled on 3rd November will be the 59th quadrennial Presidential Election of America. There are quiet possibilities of the election date being postponed due to the outbreak of the pandemic or the government must consider options like e-voting and expanding in-person polling stations while considering social distancing.
NOMINEES AND DROP-OUTS
Our research witnesses various leaders from various parts coming forward for the field of Democratic presidential candidates. The huge count of nominees holding out was making this election historical but hysterically all of them were dropped out either due to decline in support, failing to resonate with the voters, low rates in polls and hence they ended up their campaign, out of which 27 candidates were from the Democratic party while 3 of them belonged to the Republican party. Few of the 30 candidates running campaigns are mentioned below:
THE HUGE COMBAT BETWEEN THE TWO LEADERS
Along with their exit, now the presidential elections have become a combat between the two vigorous leaders Former Vice President Joseph Biden and President Trump. However, President Trump is constantly being dragged into the media spotlight by Biden. However, the opposition Democratic opponent Joe Biden targeted President Donald Trump to postpone the Elections saying “Mark my words, I think he is gonna try to kick back the election somehow, come up with some rationale why it can’t be held,” during an online fundraiser. When Trump released the new policy of temporarily suspending the ”green cards” of the foreigners for permanent residence, Biden blamed Trump saying that he designed the new policy just to drag people‘s attention away from Trump’s non-reflexive actions to the pandemic.
Moreover, it can be analysed that the two septuagenarians function on absolutely different policies and have different outlooks towards running the nation. The climate change policy of Biden is based on the “green revolution” program crafted by his past running mate and former American president Barack Obama. On the contrary, Donald Trump emphasizes a drive for fossil energy production development.
ANALYTICAL DATA OF 2020 AND SURVEY 2018
The statistical analysis of the 2020 presidential election highlights an irresistible highest turnout in the century. The census data 2018 confirms more than 50,000 respondents inclusive of voter registrations, pre-election surveys, and public polls. Although, the turnout is not biased to any party. It has both advantages and disadvantages to the democrats as well as republicans.
HUGE TURNOUTS: DEMOCRATS OR REPUBLICANS?
The democrats can be benefitted as young, non-white, and low- income voters are overshadowed by the non-voters. It is an observation for a decade that the Democrats do well with the old groups than the young voters.
At the same time, the President’s white working-class team, which is likely to turn towards the non-voter group and the people disappointed by the coronavirus reflex action by the government will hold their votes for the opposition.
On the periphery, these groups are more favourable towards the Republicans. The poll of adults also includes the noncitizens of America who are ineligible to vote.
Certainly, the country expects historically huge polling which is going to be the costliest mail-voting ever. Though, the oppositions have appealed on the Election process not be confidential.
CORONAVIRUS: THE GAME CHANGER IN THE HISTORY OF AMERICAN POLITICS
Coronavirus is definitely going to be the revolutionary for the Presidential Elections 2020. President Trump’s direction towards the pandemic, government support, awareness, and speed of recovering the virus is going to have a great impact on the Presidential Elections 2020. As of now, America is facing the most deaths which descend the value of human life. Biden has taken tough hold of debates and points which fade Trump’s irresponsible functions trying to gain people’s support and trust.
At this time, where we are in the middle of nowhere, the message by former President Barack Obama
“It doesn’t take a whole load of courage to aid those who are already powerful, already comfortable, already influential. But it does take courage to champion the vulnerable and the sick and the infirm. Those who have no access to the corridors of power.” proves to be ideally preached.
