Frank says Trump’s handling of the economy - including his cuts to taxes and business regulations - has earned him the right to a second term.

"But it is now the received wisdom that they provide the decisive vote in presidential elections." In a bid to win back voters like Rivera, Trump has deployed increasingly apocalyptic rhetoric to scare them away from Biden. In a recent tweet, Trump directly addressed "the Suburban Housewives of America", warning them that "Biden will destroy your neighbourhood and your American Dream".
