Here we go... You can take this to the bank. Biden will win the popular vote but Trump will win the electoral college, thereby elected for another 4 year term.

But the winner will not be known on Tuesday night, it might take a few days maybe even weeks before the eventual winner is announced. There will be a legal challenge to the results and might even wind all the way to the supreme court.

1. The battle for the 270 Electoral college vote points.

As it is well known in the USA, winning the general popular votes doesnt guarantee that presidential seat, but winning the 270 electoral college votes gives you the presidency as seen in the 2016 elections. Hillary Clinton won the popular votes by almost 3million votes but President Trump won the electoral votes by over 300 points. So the battle for the major states and swing states is the real deal now. Main reason why the two candidates are still out there campaigning in major cities where the electoral college votes could determine the outcome of this election.

2. Their bases.

President Trump has one of the strongest die hard supporters bases anywhere in the world. They are like our brothers up in the North here in nigeria. Their fanaticism is so strong and sometimes scary. Though he has lost some supporters due to how he managed the covid-19 pandemic and his constant verbal rough languages but you cant deny the fact that he has gained many more supporters over the year.

For the Joe Biden base, they are more of the Behind, executive, reserved and mostly educated calm folks around the country. They could be likened to our rich Ikoyi billionaires who were making fried rice with chicken, barbeque, suya, popping champagne and sitting under canopies during the elections in 2019 on the island in Lagos. He has a very massive quiet supporters who their voices will be heard on the ballot papers. He is widely loved and more popular than Hillary Clinton, reason why the trump's campaign committee are a bit worried.

The racial differences impact on the votes.

Though largely claimed and always spoken by Trump himself that he is the only president that has done more for the black communities than any other president in the history of the United states. But words are cheap. A reflection of how true or false this is could be seen during his campaigns. You hardly see any black American at his rallies which are mostly crowded by whites. On the other hand, Democrats are known to be the only party that have the interest of the black communities and this reflects in both Joe Biden's campaign pictures as well as the number of serving black politicians under the ticket of the Democrat party. You have many governors, reps, senators, mayors and county leaders who are blacks than you will see under the Republican umbrella.
You're on point, you did your research very well.

but why is biden the favourite across many post i checked.
Same way they said Hillary Clinton was the favourite in 2016, infact her popularity in 2016 is far more than Biden's own now. So it's not about Nairaland post or Twitter post.

A Trump win will see America going to war and bullying of some smaller Nations, but for the Christians and Church, it will buy time for more preparation towards the Rapture. A Biden winning will restore some level of peace and hope for America. It will be a breathe of fresh air to some Nations that see Trump as a bully. But to the Christians and Church it will be the beginning of the end due to the unfinished business of the Obama administration towards whoredom.
So, Trump and Biden is like voting among two evils, but I think Trump is the lesser evil. Whichever, let God's will be done.
lol Trump is the first American president in over 3 decades not to be engaged in a war plus he is withdrawing troops from the middle east, are you living under a rock ? grin

You sound poorly educated and vulgar.. So you can't reply him with civility and I thought you were a mature educated dude

Oga stop being two faced. You didn't see how the other guy replied him? Calling what he wrote absolutely rubbish. No you will not see it. Its the reaction that's your problem not what triggered it. Maturity my ass. When you want to talk about something do well to look at it from all angles before jumping the gun. You can't come here and start throw shade at someone's because of how they reacted to a unprovoked attack and not acknowledge said trigger. Civility is a two way thing.

Some of you are the reasons behind federal government wanting to shut down the social media. Have you ever seen that type of slab fence in the White House before? What you have in the White House is a see through balustrade fence. Go to BBC, fox news, skynews, CNN etc and go and watch it live. Or check it out on YouTube as they were constructing it yesterday. Lazy youths everywhere.

Some people are meant not to be replied so why kee yourself. When you see those kind of comments just scroll past.

Plus, that fence isn't permanent. It's made of precast concrete sections and will be taken down as fast as it went up.
