One week

Your guide to how Washington shapes business and the economy

VIEW IN BROWSER | SUBSCRIBE TUE, OCT 27, 2020 CNBC POLITICS EDITOR'S NOTE Hello,   Election Day is one week away. There are no more debates. Tens of millions have already voted. Coronavirus cases are rising throughout the country. There will be a new Supreme Court justice. And hopes for a new economic stimulus deal have all but faded away.   President Trump, down in the polls, is hitting the campaign trail hard, visiting multiple battleground states a day in the final stretch. Rallies have long been the life blood of Trump's political identity, and he is sticking to them.   Joe Biden isn't traveling as aggressively, but he's planning strategic stops, including Georgia, which Trump won in 2016 and has generally favored GOP presidential candidates. It shows how Biden has expanded the map and forced Trump to play defense with a cash disadvantage. Today, the president will even hit a district in reliably red Nebraska as Biden threatens to flip one of that state's electoral votes.   At this point, though, there's not much left for the candidates to say. People should have a pretty good idea about who these two men are and what they stand for. The chances for a game-changing event are dwindling. If there's been an October surprise this year, it's that the race has been so consistent, despite all the other shocking twists and turns in the news.    Thoughts?
