Trump secured the Republican nomination without any serious opposition. In contrast, Biden secured the Democratic nomination over his closest rival, Senator Bernie Sanders, in a competitive primary that featured the largest field of presidential candidates for any political party in the modern era of American politics. Biden's running mate, Senator Harris from California, is the first African-American, first Asian-American, and third female[b] vice presidential nominee on a major party ticket. Central issues of the election included the public health and economic impacts of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, civil unrest in reaction to the police killing of George Floyd and others and the future of the Supreme Court following the death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg and confirmation of Amy Coney Barrett.[9]Slide5
