NEW YORK – Presidential elections can be revealing moments that convey the wishes of the American people to the next wave of elected officials.
So far, the big reveal in the contest between President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden is the extent of the cavernous divide between Republican and Democratic America, one that defines the nation, no matter which candidate ultimately wins.Voters from both parties turned out in droves to pick the next president, but as they did so, they found little agreement about what that president should do.
Democrats and Republicans prioritized different issues, lived in different communities and even voted on different kinds of ballots.
