US elections: Joe Biden raises record $383 mn, out-raises Trump by $135 mn

President Donald Trump was out-raised by Democrat Joe Biden in September and is being outgunned financially by his rival with just weeks to go until Election Day. Trump's campaign, along with the Republican National Committee and associated groups, raised USD 247.8 million in September, well short of the USD 383 million raised by Biden and the Democratic National Committee in the same period. Trump campaign communications director Tim Murtaugh tweeted that the Trump effort had USD 251.4 million on hand at the end of September, compared with USD 432 million for Biden. Trump's financial disadvantage was once unthinkable incumbent presidents traditionally vastly out-raise their rivals and poses a stark challenge to his reelection prospects. The president's campaign was betting on a well-stocked war chest to blanket airwaves and the web with Trump ads. But last week he was outspent on advertising by Biden by more than $10 million, according to the ad tracking firm Kantar/CMAG. Presi

US polls: Georgia sees huge turnout, long lines on 1st day of early voting

The chance to cast ballots on Georgia's first day of in-person early voting Monday had thousands of people waiting for hours to make their voices heard. Eager voters endured waits of six hours or more in Cobb County, which was once solidly Republican but has voted for Democrats in recent elections, and joined lines that wrapped around polling places in solidly Democratic DeKalb County. They also turned out in big numbers in north Georgia's Floyd County, where support for President Donald Trump is strong. With record turnout expected for this year's presidential election and fears about exposure to the coronavirus, election officials and advocacy groups have been encouraging people to vote early, either in person or by absentee ballot. Many answered the call on Monday, showing up in numbers that overwhelmed some locations. Kai Uchimura, 25, waited more than two hours to cast his ballot at a DeKalb County election site in metro Atlanta, but he said he was heartened by the turnout an
