And competing in the battle over the White House incumbent President Donald Trump and Vice President Michael Pence, from the Republican Party, and the candidates for the Democratic Party, former US Vice President Joe Biden and California Senator Kamala Harris as his deputy.

Over the past year and a half, campaign participants have been fighting "without gloves" and have not stopped at personal attacks. Trump, 74, accused his opponent, Joe Biden, of corruption and described it as a "sleepy atmosphere," said Biden, who will report Age 78, on November 20, Trump is the "worst leader" of a country in the circumstances of the Coronavirus pandemic.

And each candidate assured the electorate that he was the most capable of coping with the consequences of the outbreak of the dangerous Coronavirus infection.

In foreign policy, both candidates competed in expressing paranoid fear of Russia, and in the last television debate in Nashville, Tennessee on October 22, Biden accused Trump of leniently with Moscow and threatened to punish Russia for "violating America's sovereignty," while US President Trump said that No one else imposed such severe sanctions on Russia

Americans consider the current election campaign one of the strangest election campaigns in history, as its activities have been reduced in an unprecedented way due to preventive precautions and isolation measures due to the outbreak of the Coronavirus that has killed more than 230,000 people in the United States, while the number of infected people in the country exceeded 9 Millions of people.

For opinion polls, data collected by the political science portal Real Clear Politics from all electoral polls indicates that Trump lags Biden in popularity among voters across the country by about eight percentage points, and in volatile major states by nearly Three to seven points.

Nevertheless, experts believe that Trump still has a chance to win, as the result is linked to the turnout of supporters of both parties to the polls.
