Election Day 2020: If the polls are right, here’s one scenario for how tonight will play out
- Election Day 2020 is upon us, and heading into it there's been more uncertainty than ever thanks largely to changes stemming from the coronavirus pandemic.
- Aides to former Vice President Joe Biden have said he plans to address the nation tonight -- and will do so as president-elect if it appears that he's on his way to clinching a win.
- Biden's attempt to control the narrative, aides stress, will proceed regardless of anything President Trump tries to do in response to the election.
One reason there's been such a question mark hanging over Election Day 2020 has to do with the voting changes around the country in response to the coronavirus pandemic. No one can say for certain, in other words, how the impact of people wanting to vote early and avoid crowds on Election Day because of the pandemic will affect the final outcome. Did enough people vote early that it actually won't take long ago to finish counting the Election Day votes and declare a winner? Will too-close-to-call outcomes in battleground states leave us all hanging for a day or two? Will Trump concede if Biden is declared the winner, or will he seize upon perceived irregularities and try to hold up or cast doubt on the outcome?
We won't have to wait much longer to see how some, or all of that plays out. Meanwhile, preparations are being made regardless of the uncertainty. For example, if you believe most all of the major polls, former Vice President Joe Biden is likely to win the election -- and his aides are already suggesting that he plans to address the nation tonight as president-elect, in the event that he is successful.
