Who will win and what will the result mean for us here in Australia? America is bitterly divided, the economy is in trouble and COVID-19 is still ravaging the population. The polls and history are against Trump, voters tend to punish sitting presidents during recessions but there’s never been a presidential race quite like this one. Will Trump once again defy his critics and the predictions and secure a second term?
