Voting in America has finally stopped, and the results are currently being compiled. The entire world is waiting impatiently as the results keep trickling in. The race to winning the 270 Electoral Colleges needed to make it into the White House isn’t an easy one. Whatever becomes of this election will not come as a surprise to anyone, because both candidates put in their best during the campaign.
From the start of this battle, President Donald Trump has been overly confident of his reelection, and always laid emphasis on the fact that during his administration, America has witnessed the fastest growth in the economy, with the promise that next year will be the greatest economic year in America’s history. Added to that, his points are usually that the US military has been strengthened in the past four years, and that he has been able to improve fair trade and boost the economy.
But one of the biggest flaws of his administration has been his handling of the Covid-19 pandemic during its outbreak in America in the early period of this year. The Democrats have always said that his “care-free” attitude has cost America a lot of economic and political damages in the wake of the pandemic. And with what is happening now, it seems the Americans actually have a big surprise coming for him.
According to US Elections Project watchdog, more than 100 million Americans cast their votes early before the Tuesday’s Election Day, and this was in response to the Covid-19 pandemic.
These 100 million ballots cast through different mediums, some were mailed in, deposited in drop boxes, or cast at polling stations ahead of the Election Day. And with all these figures now being counted, the winner of the November 3rd election is now getting clearer.
Now, with the results now coming in, this is obviously bad news for Trump, because Joe Biden is currently leading him. As at the time of making this report, Joe Biden had won 85 of the 270 Electoral Colleges, while Donald Trump had won just 72. Of course, that’s a really wide margin, and it’s doubtful if Trump can bounce back from this.

So far, this doesn’t look good at all for Trump. Personally, one of the biggest surprises for me is Joe Biden winning New York. Well, let’s just see how the final results will be, but I doubt if Donald Trump can actually bounce back from this. This is really bad news for him and good news for Biden.
