More than 80 million Americans have already cast ballots in the US presidential election, setting the stage for the highest participation rate in over a century

Yard signs supporting Trump and Biden are seen outside of an early voting site at the Fairfax County Government Center in Fairfax, Virginia, US, September 18, 2020.

Democrats hold a significant advantage in early voting due to their embrace of mail balloting, which Republicans have historically cast in large numbers but have shunned amid repeated and unfounded attacks by Trump, who says the system is prone to widespread fraud. With Trump touting an early end to the health crisis, while warning of rampaging "socialists," and Biden slamming the president as irresponsible and vowing to heal America's "soul," voters face a dramatic choice in five days.

In a bid to soften Trump's abrasive image, beloved by his base but a turn-off to swing voters, he was introduced at the rally by his wife Melania, a rare presence on the campaign trail. "I'm not going to shut down the economy. I'm not going to shut down the country. But I am going to shut down the virus," he said.

U.S. economy posts record growth in third-quarter; COVID-19 scarring to lastThe U.S. economy grew at a historic pace in the third quarter as the government injected more than $3 trillion worth of pandemic relief which fueled consumer spending, but the deep scars from the COVID-19 recession could take a year or more to heal. How was it going, and the world economy going, before the Chinese virus? 40% down, then 30 up, is net -22%. Math is what it is, and it's not hard. The US economy is smaller today than when Trump took office. If the economy falls 32% in 2nd quarter 2020 and rises 33% in the 3rd quarter it is still 10% smaller. It’s math. $10,000 of new federal debt per American and the economy is down 10%.

U.S. Economy Grows At Record Pace But Still Has A Long Way To GoThe U.S. economy grew 7.4% during the last 3 months, according to the Commerce Department. But the economy hasn't recovered from the damage of the coronavirus recession yet. Analysts note it's still about 3.5% smaller than it was at the end of last year. that should read 'Damage done by Trumps handling of the coronavirus..' The virus isn't the main cause of the economic downturn, how bad the GOP handled it is the issue and that should be front and center. Scaramucci the economy is tanking. Thanks to Trump. Ha! Sit down. The recession argument is dead

U.S. economy rebounded to grow at record 33% rate last quarterThe U.S. economy grew at a 33.1% annual rate in the July-September quarter — by far the largest quarterly gain on record — but hasn't fully recovered. Don’t be fooled when Trump touts greatest-ever GDP Thursday morning the government will release a number, Trump and his flunkeys will jump all over it It will be official level of GDP growth in 2rd quarter, and it’s going to show a huge number, like 30 % Please don’t attempt to annualize a 3-month GDP number that has no chance to continue for 12 months.
