    10: What To Expect On Election Night
    Oct 26 2020
    The 2020 election has been like no other. Derailed by the global pandemic and in the shadow of a looming economic crisis, president Donald Trump has lagged behind his competitor Joe Biden for most of the campaign. But do the polls tell the real story or are there “shy Trumpers” out there?
    Ariel Edwards-Levy and Paul Blumenthal explain to Graeme Demianyk what to look out for on election night and which states will reveal who is most likely to end up residing in the White House for the next four years, while Jeffrey Young lays out America’s healthcare system.
