About

The 2020 U.S. presidential election was a pivotal event held on November 3, 2020. It featured Joe Biden, the Democratic nominee, running against incumbent President Donald Trump, the Republican nominee. The election took place amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, which significantly impacted voting methods, with a record number of early and mail-in ballots cast. Key issues included the pandemic's economic and health impacts, racial tensions, and the future of the Affordable Care Act. Biden won the election with 306 electoral votes to Trump's 232, securing the largest popular vote margin for a challenger since 1932. Biden's victory marked several historic milestones, including the election of Kamala Harris as the first female vice president. The election saw high voter turnout, with over 159 million Americans casting ballots. Despite Biden's clear win, Trump and his allies disputed the results, alleging fraud without evidence. These disputes led to unsuccessful legal challenges and culminated in the January 6, 2021, Capitol attack. The election underscored deep political divisions and highlighted shifts in voter demographics, with Biden improving among suburban voters and Trump gaining support among rural and some Hispanic voters.
