Inauguration of President Biden: expert comment
Dr Georg L枚fflmann of the Department of Politics and International Relations reflects as the United States marks the inauguration of Joe Biden as President.
Dr Trevor McCrisken explains why the 2020 Presidential Race still hasn't been called
"Usually by a couple of days into the counts you do have a clear idea of which candidate will win which states. This year it鈥檚 much more difficult to call because of the time it鈥檚 taking to get through some of these really quite substantial numbers of ballots, of postal votes especially, in some of the crucial states - so we don鈥檛 yet have either candidate at the magical 270 Electoral College votes needed for a win."
When will we know the outcome of the 2020 presidential election? Dr Trevor McCrisken explains
"The courts could again be crucial in settling the contests this year, not only in Florida but in other swing states if the voting margins are very close. With Trump and Senate Republicans having successfully tipped the balance to conservatives on the Supreme Court, newly appointed Justice Amy Coney Barrett could prove a significant character in this year's election battle."
