100 Days Left to Election Day , Maybe?

Donald Trump 2020 Campaign ButtonJuly 26 ,2020 - Today marks 100 days to the November 3 , 2020 election day. On that  day the question of  whether President Donald Trump or former Vice Joe Biden 2020 Campaign ButtonsPresident Joe Biden wins may or may not be settled. Due to Covid 19 the increase in mail in and absentee ballots will be in numbers that local election boards across have never seen. It could be days before some states are called. Until then , here is where the race for the White House stands.

Currently an average of polls has Biden with 49.9% to 41.9% for Trump. An 8 point lead for Biden. In an average of 4 battleground states Biden has leads of 7.8% in Michigan , 6.8% in Pennsylvania , 7.1% in Wisconsin and 3.3% in Arizona.

Even in a strange election year with little in person campaigning , 5 important events are still set to take place. First Biden is expected in early August to announce his vice presidential running mate , a decision which will bring much media interest. For Trump , he already has Vice President Mike Pence , but could there be a last minute switch is anybody's guess.

Next up will be the convention speeches  for both Trump and Biden. Currently Biden is scheduled to travel to Milwaukee , Wisconsin for an extremely scaled down convention and deliver his speech. Trump had planned to deliver his acceptance speech in Jacksonville , Florida but that was scrapped this week due to increased Covid 19 cases in that city. Trump could give his speech at the origin convention site of Charlotte , North Carolina , but that has yet to be determined.

Finally  there will be perhaps three presidential debates and maybe one vice presidential debate. Are these debates in front of a live audience  or in a TV studio with limited personal has not been determined. Why there are many questions to be answered , one thing  sure is that these  final 100 days will be  unlike anything ever seen in presidential politics.
