This liveblog has ended. Visit our 2020 election hub for Vox’s latest coverage of Election Day.
It’s one day before the 2020 presidential election, and millions of Americans have already cast their ballots for President Donald Trump or former Vice President Joe Biden, with millions more heading to the polls on Election Day. In addition to the presidential election, voters in several states will also decide on Senate and House races, gubernatorial races, and several local ballot initiatives.
Today, Trump and Biden will travel the country making their final pitches to voters. Trump is scheduled to campaign in North Carolina, while Biden is set to campaign in Pennsylvania. Most national polls show Biden ahead, but the outcome is far from predetermined. Due to the large number of mail-in ballots this year, it’s also possible it could take days to count the votes.
Vox journalists will be providing live news updates, analysis, and context behind the news throughout the day. Follow our live blog here for updates as we enter the final day of the campaign trail. And read more of Vox’s 2020 election coverage here.
Live blog: The final day before Election Day
Will you support Vox’s explanatory journalism?
Most news outlets make their money through advertising or subscriptions. But when it comes to what we’re trying to do at Vox, there are a couple of big issues with relying on ads and subscriptions to keep the lights on:
First, advertising dollars go up and down with the economy. We often only know a few months out what our advertising revenue will be, which makes it hard to plan ahead.
Second, we’re not in the subscriptions business. Vox is here to help everyone understand the complex issues shaping the world — not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. And we can’t do that if we have a paywall.
So even though advertising is still our biggest source of revenue, we also seek grants and reader support. (And no matter how our work is funded, we have strict guidelines on editorial independence.)
If you also believe that everyone deserves access to trusted high-quality information, will you make a gift to Vox today? Any amount helps.
