While there are still votes being counted, some people are ready to get this election over with. The American people are tired of this election dragging on and on for nearly three weeks. But what most people don’t realize is that this is probably one of the most, if not the most, important elections in American history.
As we have seen in the last few weeks, this so-called “battle” is continuing in America, the “battle” of power. According to the Associated Press, they have called the Presidential Race of 2020 by projecting that Fmr. VP Joe Biden has won the election with 290 electoral votes and President Donald Trump having only 232 electoral votes. At this time in our political system, there is a big difference in who should hold the power, Republicans or Democrats. In this too, it is a never ending battle for power.
Many people are waiting both patiently and impatiently for the correct results. Biden has only been projected to win, he has not been declared. Many news outlets have been somewhat offended by the fact that he could be our next president. CNN told the American people that if Biden is in fact declared the winner, Fox News is not to call him the “president-elect”, being that Fox News is a big supporter of President Trump and they tend to lean more on the Republican side of things whereas CNN is more to the Democratic side of the political spectrum.
So this subject brings many questions. What is taking the voting counters so long to count all of the votes? Do you think that Joe Biden will bring this country in a new direction? Do you think President Trump will ever concede his position to Joe Biden? If legal actions are taken, do you think it will reach the Supreme Court?

From all that is being said, it is only the presidential votes that are of question, so the seats of the House and Senate are pretty much sealed. With the exception of Georgia who is currently still counting, Republicans hold the majority in the Senate with 50 members, (46 Democrat and 2 Independent) and Democrats have majority in the House of Representatives with 220 members (204 Republicans). If Trump is to win the upcoming election, he will have a hard time getting legislations to make it past both House and Senate. If Biden wins, he will have an easier time to get legislation to pass with the current political polarization in the United States.
