According to Ben Shapiro, this year’s election might be the highest voter-turnout rate in the history of American politics.
Due to the controversial nature of the president’s politics and social media presence, as well as the way he has been portrayed in the mainstream media, Trump has become a lightning rod for political tension, especially in the case of the black community.
