According to preliminary estimates the two presidential campaigns in the United States have cost a record $14 billion. Yet there is still no conclusive outcome even as President Donald Trump seeks to declare himself as the victor.
At the moment of writing this the results from a series of keenly contested states, Georgia, Nevada, North Carolina and Pennsylvania are still in play. The vote counts are incomplete because of differing counting rules as well as the preponderance of mail-in ballots in this election.
It is important to underscore that Biden is leading Trump by at least two percentage points in terms of the popular vote. In the end, of course, it’s the total number of electoral votes that will determine the final outcome.
The two campaigns could not have been more different both in terms of style and substance. Biden, acutely conscious of the pandemic, for the most part chose to conduct a virtual campaign. Only in the closing days of the campaign did he physically venture out and, even then, held rallies with an abundance of caution. His supporters were physically distanced and mostly confined to their cars.
