2020 US Election: Trump-Biden Battle Results - Current Counting Overview
First report:
Munich / Washington, DC - The next election for
President of the United States will
take place
on the night of November 3rd to 4th (German time)
.
Millions of people cast their votes in the weeks leading up to the US election.
From a European point of view, it will take until the next morning
until the
results of
the
2020 US election
are known - we will keep you up to date on election day here in the
news ticker
.
For further events relating to the US election, we offer the live ticker for the latest developments.
We also report separately on the results of the US congressional election.
The results of the 2020 US election are immensely important for national and international politics
The popular candidates for the presidency in the
2020 US election
are
Joe Biden
for the Democrats and
Donald Trump
for the Republicans.
In addition to their president, Americans also elect the House of Representatives and the Senate.
However, the election does not go as it is known from Germany.
The
results of
the 2020 US election are undeniably of great relevance for the political balance of power in the
US
- and for all
international politics
.
It is important to note that the Americans do not elect their leader directly, but rather through an indirect voting system.
2020 US election: results are only indirectly influenced by voters
So how does it work - the
2020 US election
?
And what role do the
electorate play
in the results?
First of all, a fundamental declaration: in the
USA
, the head of state, the president, is elected every four years.
The names of the various candidates are on the ballot, but the
Americans
do not
vote them
directly.
In
2020
they will again vote for so-called electoral voters in their state.
The majority of the electorate ultimately decide who is allowed to rule as head of state in the United States.
The election is indirect because the outcome of the US election initially only determines the electorate.
Electors decide the US election: will the results be announced before the Electoral College in 2020?
These electors then in turn
cast their votes
in the
Electoral College
(
Electoral College
) and elect the President and Vice-President.
Who will run for president in the 2020 US election?
Joe Biden * (Democrat)
Donald Trump * (Republican)
#uswahlen: Slightly melting the lead of Joe #Biden vs.
Donald #Trump.
The last television debate between the two candidates will take place on Thursday.
Maybe then the picture will change again.

Who will run for the office of Vice President in the 2020 US election?
Kamala Harris * (Democrat)
Mike Pence * (Republican)
The focus of the US election is on
getting
the most
electorate
- must be 270 to become president.
This means that the
results of the
2020 US election will
probably be announced before all votes are counted.
We keep a close eye on what Donald Trump is doing on election night and how Joe Biden will behave after the US election.
You can also follow the 2020 US election * live on TV and in the live stream, as
fr.de
explains.
US election: results usually already visible the following day - will 2020 be the exception?
Now to the question of what results can be expected on election night.
First of all,
projections
and
interim results of
the
US election 2020
* will be announced, which will also lead to
final results
at the end of November 3rd (in Germany in the early morning of the following day)
.
Then the statements from Germany and generally the reactions from all over the world will be watched with excitement.
For example, although the
results of
the
postal vote
*
While it may well take several weeks to arrive, the results of the US election in recent years have mostly been announced on the following day.
Corona pandemic and US election 2020: More postal votes expected - Trump railed against it
In the first election of
Barack Obama
as president, the result came around five in the morning, in the fight between
Donald Trump
and
Hillary Clinton,
however, only around eight o'clock (German time).
This year, this development is not yet in sight, as the
corona crisis
in the
USA
*
The increased use of postal votes must be expected - this is already being questioned by Donald Trump.
The official
result of
the
2020 US presidential election
is not expected until 41 days after this election day, as this is when the electorate will come together and cast their votes.
This will be followed by the
official swearing in of
the President
on January 20, 2021
.
However, only if it is not a matter of re-election.
