Elections bring in large crowds of buzzing people during this seasonal month. These are people who are about to give their input on who should be the next president of the United States, and this is no small task.<\/p>\n
Many factors play into voting in the election, such as the different parties and candidates that are running. While Democratic and Republican Parties are the most common, they are not the only options that will be on the ballot.<\/p>\n
Researching the backgrounds and political views of candidates is essential for casting your vote.<\/p>\n

On the other side of this election, President Donald Trump is campaigning to earn the support of voters so that he has a chance to be re-elected this year. Trump is using his platform to talk about his support for foreign policy issues and matters about the economy and trade.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe economy is the best it\u2019s ever been,\u201d sophomore Nolan Debrocq said. \u201cHe has the lowest unemployment rate and has solved many other important issues during his presidential term.\u201d<\/p>\n
