미 대선 결정의 날: 백악관 연결 AP 출입기자 현장 연결
It's decision day in the U.S.
American voters are waking up to election day and in less than an hour from now will start heading to their local polling stations to cast votes that will ultimately decide who will lead the country for the next four years.
That's of course with the exception of New Hampshire which already cast their ballots at the strike of midnight there.
Today's moment of destiny and what could turn into a prolonged count owing to the crush of mail-in votes will decide whether Americans reject Trump after a single term or re-up for four more years of his brazen presidency.
It will unfold as the novel coronavirus emergency surges out of control all over the nation, in the wake of record daily infection rates and with the number of deaths climbing toward 1-thousand per day.
An election like never seen before we have a team coverage tonight for everything ranging from on the ground reporting on the election itself and reactions to the U.S. presidential election from different corners of the globe to poll numbers and ramifications.
AP-affiliate Ciaran McQuillan joins us live from Washington, Raf Wober from Hong Kong and Reuters-affiliate Natalie Powell is live in London for us.
First, we begin with Ciaran McQuillan in Washington.
A very early good morning to you, Ciaran.
As voters on both sides of that nation's widening political divide prepare to render a verdict on President Trump's four tumultuous years in the White House, how and where did Donald Trump and his Democratic challenger Joe Biden conclude their campaign last night?
Undeterred by the pandemic, Americans have already displayed an uncommon determination to have their voices and votes heard this year. Nearly 100 million cast their ballots in advance of Election Day, shattering records as they endured long lines at early voting sites or sent in their ballots by mail.
First of all, New Hampshire already cast their ballots based on their tradition. How did that go?
What are the polls saying at the moment? Does it match the mood on the ground? Is there any clear leader at this stage?
Ahead of the polls opening later today, businesses in cities from Denver to Detroit to Washington, D.C., were boarding up their windows with plywood as they readied for the possibility of civil unrest. Some governors were readying the National Guard.
Any signs of unrest on the streets leading up to the election and once the result is announced?
