Record early voting in the US Presidential election; experts decode key trends
Oct 28, 2020 12:50 PM

Just 7 days to go to Election Day and nearly 70 million Americans have already voted, which is 50 percent of total votes counted in 2016.

Joe Biden is leading national polls a week ahead of elections but things are going to boil down to key swing states.

Some of the key priorities for the next President would be -- controlling the COVID-19 surge, delivering another economic stimulus package, dealing with China on trade and in the Indo-Pacific, a greater focus on Make in America and jobs and a reform of the immigration system. India will also be a key player in the next President's foreign policy.

To discuss this, Parikshit Luthra spoke to Gerald Seib, Executive Washington Editor of The Wall Street Journal, Steven Wieting, Chief Economist at Citi Private Bank and Mukesh Aghi, President of USISPF.
