Commentary: Trump will get beaten by Biden by millions of votes but plans to win anyway

SINGAPORE: Joe Biden will trounce Donald Trump by millions of votes for President this year.

In 2020, Biden will have a larger victory because he will win by more votes than Clinton in traditional Democratic states in the Northeast and on the West Coast where Trump’s stock has fallen further among a large majority of voters than four years ago. The top six swing states in the 2020 US election were all won by President Donald Trump in 2016, but his Democratic challenger Joe Biden leads in each of them. Clinton had very high, long-standing negative rankings in many red states for a myriad of reasons. Biden does not.

As the nation’s founders debated how the United States should be governed, three general principles were followed.Smaller states needed to be protected from having the presidency determined by the larger ones. Today, there are 538 members of the electoral college with an absolute majority of 270 electoral votes needed to win the presidential election.The US presidential election actually comprises 51 separate elections - the 50 states plus the District of Columbia - with each voting to elect their “electors” on Election Day, this year on Nov 3.On Jan 6, 2021, two months after the popular vote, Congress counts the electoral votes and declares a winner.

That scenario remains very much in play. Despite COVID-19, during one week in August alone the Trump campaign knocked on 1 million doors to turn out and deepen his base. In contrast, the Biden campaign knocked on none. The Trump campaign executes on their strategy despite the public health implications.
