Tuesday 5 November 2024

Today in America an est. 262.08 million people will have woken & looked about to see how many among them decided to vote in the US presidential election which will decide the fate of a nation and its est. 335,893,238 men, women & children*


Basically the U.S. presidential election boils down to a two horse race - with the bookies (U.S. Electoral College) not the jockeys or the punters laying their bets (registered voters & their ballot papers) deciding the outcome for the country and the national economy. 


On Tuesday, 5 November 2024 these two horses are attempting to win by a length:


Republican candidate & a former president, Donald John Trump, born 14 June 1946.
