America's choice: At a crossroads

THIS WEEK'S TOPIC: Who do you expect will be sworn in as US president on Jan 20, 2021: Donald Trump or Joe Biden? Why?

Adam Reynolds APAC CEO Saxo Markets

Personally, I think that Joe Biden will win the election with a significant majority, and that the win will be convincing enough that we will know the result on Nov 4. I also think that there will be little to no significant disputes over the result. It does remain highly likely that US President Donald Trump will be an ungracious loser. However, when it becomes obvious that he has lost, I think the Republican Party will come in line and try to disassociate themselves from him as quickly as possible. I think the election will be won and lost on character rather than on economics or Covid-19, with the turnout highest among those who are motivated to have a president who represents the character of the nation.
