Presidential Election Day will only take place in about two and a half weeks but as of Friday, more than 22 million Americans have already cast their vote they make up 16 percent of all voters who participated in the 2016 election, all while 8 countries have yet to pass early polling data More than two weeks until Election Day.
If the current pace continues, US election experts estimate that the number of voters will exceed 150 million, with the highest turnout in the 1908 presidential election.
For Democrats and their presidential candidate, former Vice President Joe Biden, the early voting data is particularly encouraging.
Not just the historic turnout, but the fact that Democrats are participating in the 2-to-1 early ballot over Republicans, which guarantees them a big advantage even before November 3rd.
It is important to note, however, that both parties estimate that most Republicans are expected to vote on Election Day itself, which means that voting dynamics may change within a few hours.
In any case, Trump's path to victory still exists.
And while many Americans are already voting, President Trump and his rival Biden are vigorously pursuing the campaign.
The two held separate interviews on Thursday at the scene in the second confrontation between them that was canceled.
Both candidates were of course required to address the issue of dealing with the corona - also at the level of personal conduct.
While the president admitted in an interview with NBC that he may not have been tested on the eve of the first confrontation with Biden, shortly before he was diagnosed with blue, the former vice president was proud in his interview with ABC that he was tested shortly before filming.
After the interview, Trump continued with his tight schedule, lined up at election rallies, and took every opportunity to attack his opponent.
"I'm facing the worst presidential candidate in history," the president teased at an election in Georgia.
'Can you imagine if I lose?
I will not feel so good.
Maybe I'll even have to leave the country? '
Trump even called for "imprisoning the Bydians," calling the former vice president a "corrupt politician, and a family that is a criminal corporation."
At a campaign rally in Florida, the president aimed the arrows at Biden's son, Hunter, calling him a "mediator" of pharma companies, which is raising drug prices.
The focus on Hunter is not surprising in light of the New York Post's investigation last week that Hunter tried to promote his business in Ukraine with the help of his then-vice president.
The investigation was met with criticism and questions about the credibility of its sources, which led Twitter and Facebook networks to block its distribution.
Republicans, of course, were outraged at the move, and on Friday the pressure did its thing, with Twitter at least reversing its decision.
In addition to fears of losing the presidential election, Republicans are worried about a democratic takeover of the Senate.
These concerns led to outrageous remarks when Republican Sen. Benverska Ben Sass warned in a conversation with his supporters about a "democratic tsunami," calling Trump a "narcissistic TV patient."
Even the daughter of Rudy Giuliani, the president's personal lawyer and one of his staunchest supporters, came out with an opinion piece in Vanity Fair calling for a vote for Biden.
"I probably will not be able to convince my father," wrote Carolyn Giuliani.
"But together we can overthrow this toxic administration."
Trump, as usual, did not remain indebted to the attacks against him, calling Senator Sas "our least effective legislator, and a man who does not have what he needs."
