US election: Biden is in the lead, but his victory is not certain

The US presidential election race continues with intensity and tension. Polls show Biden leading, but his victory is far from certain. Trump's fanatical supporters are not satisfied with anything other than his victory.

The US presidential election campaign has entered its final phase in a tense atmosphere. With two weeks left until the election on November 3, many citizens have voted with unprecedented urgency.

According to a report by a research foundation at the University of Florida, about 27.7 million people have filled out ballots and cast their votes so far.

Democratic Party candidate Joe Biden, in one of his last campaigns in North Carolina on Sunday evening (October 18), once again urged his supporters not to wait and to participate in the elections as soon as possible.

Biden once again criticized Donald Trump's approach and performance in dealing with the coronavirus pandemic. In response to Trump's claim over the weekend that the pandemic wave had subsided, Biden accused the president of deception and lies.

Trump defended his failure to heed the advice of scientists in a campaign speech in Carson City, Nevada. He said that if he had heeded the experts, “the country would be in a complete depression right now.” He claimed that America is now at the peak of its joy and happiness. This is while the coronavirus continues to ruthlessly claim victims in the United States.

Statistics show that the pandemic in the United States is out of control. So far, more than eight million people in the country have been infected with the novel coronavirus and about 220,000 have died from COVID-19.

Biden leads in polls

Most polls indicate that Joe Biden has a high chance of winning the election. Some analysts even predict a landslide victory for him.

Despite this optimism, Democrats, who experienced the misfortune of 2016, are not very confident of victory. That year, polls had Hillary Clinton leading Donald Trump by between three and more than five percentage points in Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin.

This optimism caused Clinton to not pay enough attention to the three states mentioned; she took advantage of the opportunity against Trump and won more votes in all three states. It is on this basis that she still calls the polls "fake" today.

Some analysts are paying more attention to the post-election situation than the election itself, noting the tense atmosphere among Trump supporters who are eager to see him as the next president at any cost.
