Biden projected to win the White House and defeat Trump, via Insider and decisiondeskhq

President Trump arrives at the White House after being treated for the coronavirus at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center on October 5, 2020.The Trump administration presided over a period of rancor and division within American politics not seen in the past several decades.

Trump's hardline immigration stance culminated in a widely reviled "zero-tolerance" policy that separated migrant children who entered the country from their legal guardian ahead of incarceration. Mass public pressure and litigation eventually led the administration to relent, though hundreds of children remain separated from their parents to this day.

Trump's presidency was also marred by a bitter impeachment process and a years-long FBI investigation into whether his campaign knowingly conspired with the Russian government to tilt the 2016 race in his favor. The Republican-controlled Senate ultimately acquitted Trump following an impeachment trial, and the president was not charged in the Russia investigation, partly because of a longstanding Justice Department policy that says a sitting president cannot be indicted.

Trump's administration failed to develop a robust response, and by March the virus arrived in the US. Soon after, the US became the global epicenter of the outbreak, even as other countries took steps to significantly reduce the spread of the virus.
