US presidential elections can be very tight. In 2000, for example, it took the Supreme Court to decide between Democrat Al Gore and Republican George W. Bush. But there are other ways to pick a winner in a tied US election. Take, for instance, the 1994 House of Representatives race in Wyoming. The governor broke the tie by pulling a Ping-Pong ball adorned with the name of the winner out of a cowboy hat. In the Silver State of Nevada, they settle ties by drawing cards—high card wins, naturally. This last happened in 2011, when neither frugal candidate in a North Las Vegas city council primary would pay $600 for a recount!
Over the course of the novel coronavirus pandemic, US President Donald Trump has admitted to have knowingly downplayed the seriousness of the illness. So when Trump tested positive for COVID-19 early on Friday, experts say it may now be difficult for him and his administration to be trusted. Specifically, Business Insider reports it may be difficult for Trump to navigate a public image as a 'strong leader,' given his long track record of lies. USC communications professor Karen North says that as Trump's stance on the pandemic has been dismissive of the threat, he can't change tune quickly. He's out of commission on a topic that just went in opposition to his rhetoric. And so they now have a messaging problem, and they're going to have to figure out what their message is going to be.
