The State of the Race: September 28th

The Road to Two-Seventy Normally, the US broadly moves in one direction. Last week, it moved decisively in favour of President Trump. This week, however, that cohesion fell apart. Nationally, Biden increased his lead over Trump by 0.5%, up to 7.2% – and it is clear where he picked up
