USA Today (November 8)
“Our long national nightmare, the Trump presidency, is finally nearing an end. But the brutal reality is this: Get ready for another national nightmare now that Joe Biden is the president-elect.” We are likely to be “in for a parade of horrors during Trump’s remaining time in power. Change is coming, but along the way, fasten seatbelts for severe turbulence.”

New York Times (November 7)
“Having peered into the abyss of autocratic nationalism, the American people have chosen to step back from the brink. The ballot counting will continue for a few days yet, but… Joe Biden will have the 270 electoral votes needed to win the White House, and likely many more. President Trump’s four-year assault on our democratic institutions and values will soon end.”

US News & World Report (November 4)
“Joe Biden has broken former President Barack Obama’s record for total votes set in the historic 2008 election.” The 70 million votes Biden has already racked already exceed “Obama’s record of more than 69 million votes, with millions of ballots still being counted in several battleground states….” The former Vice President’s “record-breaking performance is shocking considering the voter enthusiasm – especially among young people – his former boss had in 2008.”

Financial Times (November 1)
“If America is lucky,” Biden will be elected and “the country will breathe a sign of relief, literally. Whether or not one agrees with the president’s policies, his divisiveness and vitriol are among the reasons that researchers have found correlations between Mr Trump’s spell in power and things like rising anxiety levels, cardiovascular problems and even preterm pregnancies (especially among Latinas) in the US.

Wall Street Journal (October 10)
“The past week was bizarre, berserk, almost biblical.” People are thirsty for normal. “There’s a lot of Trump fatigue, and it’s peaking at the wrong time for the president.” Increasingly pundits “are wondering if Nov. 3 won’t be a win for Joe Biden but a blowout, a landslide in a polarized country that doesn’t produce landslides anymore.” If Biden does win big, “part of the reason, maybe a big part, will be simply that he is normal.”

Washington Post (September 15)
President Trump claims “America’s cities are in flames” and a Biden election would leave the suburbs engulfed in flames. Meanwhile, wildfires have refocused attention on the issue of climate change. Speaking to the real “fires of the present and future” which are “raging across much of the Western states, devouring towns and turning the sky red,” Joe Biden is now “going further than any party nominee has before and talking like someone with a genuine commitment to strong action on climate.”

Wall Street Journal (September 9)
“If the race comes down to a character contest, Mr. Trump will lose.” Nobody dislikes Joe Biden. “Americans have also seen Mr. Trump in office for 42 months, and even millions of his supporters dislike the way he conducts himself.”
