Ask for the program!
With
This is America
, its daily international news event,
20 Minutes
gives you the best possible briefing to follow the American campaign from day to day.
This Thursday, we take a look at Donald Trump and Joe Biden's campaign in Florida, Republican Party hackers and the return of Hillary Clinton.
Duel in the sun
It's THE place to be this Thursday.
Donald Trump and Joe Biden will both be campaigning in Florida, in Tampa to be precise.
The "Sunshine State" is crucial for both candidates, as we explained to you a few weeks ago.
With its 29 main voters, Florida is particularly coveted by the candidates for the White House, who spared no effort and often went there, as well as their running mates.
If Joe Biden and Donald Trump will both be in the same place, they have taken care to share the day, so as not to be there at the same time.
As usual, we will attend two rooms, two atmospheres: crowded “old-fashioned” meeting for Donald Trump, in “drive in” mode and sparse (because of the coronavirus) for Joe Biden.

The two candidates are neck and neck in Florida and the suspense promises to be total.
Donald Trump, behind in the polls in states he won in 2016, cannot afford to lose Florida.
On the other hand, if Joe Biden wins, it could sign the victory of the Democrats at the national level.
No luck Hortense
Bad times for Republicans and Donald Trump.
While the money was already running out (remember, we already told you about it here), the situation is not going to improve.
According to Associated Press (AP), hackers have managed to steal more than two million dollars from the Republican Party of Wisconsin, intended for Donald Trump's campaign in this key state.
This is in any case what the Republicans say, while Donald Trump is lagging behind in Wisconsin, according to the latest polls.
This cyberattack would have taken place on October 22, explained to AP Andrew Hitt, the president of the Republican party of the state this Thursday.
The FBI took up the investigation.

According to the latest figures from this "swing state", the Republican party would have garnered 23.7 million dollars to campaign, when the Democrats would have ... 59 million.
A local situation which perfectly symbolizes the situation of the Grand Old party at the national level.
In six months, Donald Trump's team has spent $ 800 million and is running out of money, while his opponent is drowning in dollars.
According to the
New York Times
, this 2020 campaign (including the Capitol) is the most expensive of all time, costing $ 14 billion.
The revenge of a blonde?
She will still be part of the election.
Unsuccessful candidate of 2016, Hillary Clinton could well hold her revenge this year as… great voter of the State of New York.
The former secretary of state and senator from New York announced it in a radio interview on Wednesday.
"In New York, I'm sure I can vote for Joe (Biden) and Senator Kamala Harris, so it's pretty good," said Hillary Clinton enthusiastically.

The one who had yet won nearly three million votes more than his rival in 2016, Donald Trump, had to recognize his defeat with only 227 voters on his side (out of 538, to win it is necessary to reach 270) ... In 2017, she had publicly announced that her political career as an elected official was over, but that she was not done with politics "because I really believe that the future of our country is at stake", had -she entrusted.
Can Hillary Clinton get justice in 2020?
