US President Joe Biden will cast his early vote in Monday’s presidential election, according to the White House. Many Americans can vote before Election Day on November 5.

Biden stepped aside from the race earlier this year after a dismal debate performance against Republican leader Donald Trump, pitting the former US president against Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris.

Biden’s faltering performance during the June 27 presidential debate with Trump, where he spoke in a hoarse tone and appeared clumsy while speaking on key issues, was the final nail in the coffin that caused large numbers of Democrats to publicly call for the withdrawal of Biden.

Polls show Harris and Trump neck and neck in battleground states that will decide the next president with just over a week until Election Day. More than 38 million votes have already been cast nationwide. CNN’s latest national poll showed Trump and Harris tied at 47 percent among likely voters.

The poll, conducted by telephone Oct. 20-23 among 1,704 registered voters and released last Friday, had a margin of error of 3.1 percentage points among likely voters and plus or minus 3.2 percentage points among the full sample. of registered voters. People agree with Trump on issues like the economy, immigration and foreign policy, while Harris has the advantage on women’s rights and democracy.

Trump has promised retaliation against his rivals as he tries to pursue an agenda diverted during his previous term due to the global pandemic. The former president wants to undertake a mass deportation of immigrants living in the United States illegally, extend and expand his 2017 tax cuts, sharply increase tariffs and offer more support for fossil fuels and less support for renewable energy.

On the other hand, Harris has advocated a new path for the Biden administration, but the policies she proposes have already been implemented by the 81-year-old president: tax cuts for the middle class, tax increases for the rich and the corporations, restoration of the right to abortion, a government that aggressively addresses climate change. and the commitment to defend democratic values ​​and the rule of law.
