  Yes still got some catching up to do but I think he will make it back to the white house, and that is good news for the UK.

  Not only bad news for the UK but bad news for the rest of the world too.

  I've given up trying to understand how it works over there. From what I gather, Biden is miles ahead in the polls, but the system means that Trump could still win.

  This is as good an explanation as I've seen in following US politics for over 40 years. It explains why the system is intrinsically flawed.

  A Biden win feels like it will throw open the windows and let some fresh air back into the world. But I refuse to believe it until I see it.
