Unprecedented US presidential race: Rise of multilateralist Democrats


AMERICAN elections are not as simple as they sound. Take the minimum 270 electoral college votes that are needed by either President Donald Trump and his rival Joe Biden to make their way to victory. They are 270 people entrusted by their respective parties —- Republican or Democrats —- to vote according to how the American people in each state have elected their next President.

When news headlines flashed 238 electoral college votes for Biden last night, as compared to 212 electoral college votes for President Trump, what that means is that all 238 (out of a minimal of 270) are already in the corner of Biden. *All he needed was another 32 electoral college votes, which will meet next month, to confirm Biden as the "President Elect," at which point Trump must respect the US Constitution to start the process of handing the reins of power to Biden to allow him to be the 46th president of the United States of America.
