ROAD TO 270: President Donald Trump and Democratic challenger Joe Biden each has a path to the 270 Electoral College votes needed to win the White House. Biden’s is appreciably wider. #Election2020
A U.S. coronavirus surge just before Election Day has exposed a clear split between President Trump’s bullish embrace of a return to normalcy and top government health officials’ urgent public warnings.

Polls show Trump consistently trailing Joe Biden in the state. #AmericaDisrupted
