美国今年的大选(election)因为候选人(candidates)在摇摆州(swing states)的得票过于接近，又发现点票(count)软件故障及幽灵票(ghost ballots)等等问题，让选情(the situation of the election)进入胶着状态(stalemate)，官方迟迟未能宣布哪位候选人当选(won)。
川普总统认为大量舞弊(frauds)行为而导致选票结果(tallies)不正常，今天已经在多州发起法律诉讼(law sue)，誓言捍卫选举的公正(fair)，全美各地的川普支持者(supporter)也连日发起挺川(support Trump)示威。而民主党(democratic party)候选人拜登被主要新闻媒体宣布胜选(won the election)，他的团队(team)已经开始计划后续的工作。
The U.S. election this year got big trouble, official hasn't declared the winner yet due to candidates ballots are too close to call, and found the voting software glitches and lots of ghost ballots. The election turns to stalemate.
The sitting president Trump accuses the rigged election caused the tallies abnormal. Today, he has initiated legal proceedings in many states, vowing to defend the fairness of the election, and Trump supporters across the United States have also launched demonstrations in recent days. And the Democratic candidate Biden was declared victory by the major news media, and his team has already begun to plan the post - election work.
The political views of Trump and Biden are very different. Trump advocates: law and order, tax cuts, fair trade, anti-illegal immigration, anti-abuse of social welfare, anti-socialism, and withdrawal from unreasonable international organizations.
Biden advocated: increase taxes, accept more refugees from the world, legalize 10 million illegal immigrants within the United States, tear down Trump's US-Mexico border wall, defund the police, and return to the world organization.
At present, all parties are paying close attention to the follow-up situation of the election. The United States is the beacon of freedom and democracy in the world, and the top economic and military power country. The fairness and results of its elections are closely related to domestic and global stability. We expect that the results of this election will be fair and secure the way for future elections.
This year’s election has entered the countdown. The presidential candidates of the two parties are doing their last fight. In addition to conducting election rallies everywhere, they are also conducting publicity in various media, and various polls have been released. The two sides are especially competing for votes in swing states. Voters are called to vote at polling stations, and competition is unprecedentedly fierce.
The Republican candidate, the current President Trump, ran for the president four years ago. This political amateur was upset and defeated the political veteran, former first lady Hillary Clinton, and won the election.
This year, Trump has become more overwhelming, with a large number of fans seeking him wherever he goes. It seems that the people like Trump, who is pragmatic and vigorous, more than politicians who keep talking but do nothing, and who are always politically correct. Trump wants "law and order; Made in USA; Affordable health care; Make America Great Again", these all represent the American thoughts. He has no political correctness, only common sense. He is not kidnapped by political forces, he seems quite success. At the diplomatic level, he also awakened the awareness of trade fairness and the reflection and balances of differences in social systems, and reorganized the new world order. Therefore, although Trump himself has been criticized a lot, and the epidemic is still raging, these are not enough to stop voters from supporting his re-election enthusiasm.
At the same time, in the U.S. news media and social media, polls believe that the Democratic candidate Biden is leading, and Biden’s supporters are also besieging Trump on social media. Comparing news media with the lively scenes where Trump goes, they're two totally ice-fire different scenes, which reminds people of the presidential election four years ago, and that election is truly repeating itself now.
