The Bisnow Newsroom On What’s At Stake For CRE In Next Week’s Election

The 2020 General Election is now just days away, and more than 64 million Americans have already voted. There is no doubt this election is unlike any other. President Donald Trump, a real estate developer who has had four years in office, is pitching himself for another term as a law and order-focused leader who will put the economy back on track as scores of businesses close and millions remain out of work.

Former Vice President Joe Biden has painted himself as a unifying figure with a plan to steer the country through the chaos of the coronavirus pandemic, with a view for ending the divisions that have fractured the country.
