BRAVE | The state of the States

Amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, arguably, this is a presidential election year unlike any other. The last four years since the previous elections in 2016, have been dramatic to say the least.

So what's changed in that time?

Artificial intelligence, 5G, and 'truth'.
De-coupling with China.
No Drama Obama to Tempestuous Tweeting Trump.
The best economy ever, until….?
What's at stake? The power dynamics.

The House vs the White House.
The power of the States.
The politics of identity.
The Census: who counts?
What's predictable? What do we know? What don't we know?

The future demography.
Polls: more wrong, than right?
The end of secret voting?
Legitimacy of the outcome?
With so many factors influencing the result, the outcome is hard to predict. Will it be Trump or Biden?
