There is only one week left until the end of this electoral cycle that culminates with the November 3 voting.
With the pandemic rampant in the country, the battle for the presidency in the United States seems destined to break records, and not always positive: it is the electoral process in which more money has been spent in American history, it has given rise to one of the fastest Supreme Court appointments in modern history and is unfolding amid the highest daily records for coronavirus infections.
And probably the most positive superlative: These may be the elections with the highest anticipated turnout in more than a century.
Half of the voters in 2016 have already voted within a week of this year's elections.
With less than 3% of undecided voters, the campaigns try this Tuesday to boost support for their parties with events across the country: Trump will celebrate three of his massive acts that he has not given up amid the pandemic in Michigan, Nebraska and Wisconsin, while Pence will be in the Carolinas.
The president's wife and daughter were also active in the campaign.
The First Lady
Melania Trump focused her first solo campaign act in 2020 on talking about the coronavirus pandemic.
He criticized the Democrats for allegedly politicizing the pandemic and called for more respect in the political environment because children are watching them.
The first lady has harshly criticized Biden, whom she described as "socialist."
for suggesting that he would have done a better job of tackling the pandemic that has already killed more than 220,000 lives in the United States.
"Well, the American people can look at Joe Biden's 36 years in Congress and eight years in the vice presidency and determine if they believe that he will finally be able to do something for the American people."
Democrats, who have a totally different way of campaigning in the midst of the coronavirus crisis, with acts before much smaller audiences, are betting on Republican fiefdoms in this final stretch: Joe Biden is scheduled to make two stops in Georgia this Tuesday , a traditionally republican state, but where the high mobilization of African Americans makes them dream of the possibility of changing their color.
In addition, this week, the former vice president is scheduled to travel to Iowa, while his 'number two', Kamala Harris, will be in Texas on Friday, two states that usually support Republicans and where Trump won comfortably in 2016. This Tuesday, in addition , his campaign will be promoted by former President Barack Obama in Orlando (Florida).
