A person walks through Terminal B of LaGuardia Airport in New York, where a work of art mounted in a corridor has cast colourful patterns on to the polished floor. The piece, titled ‘LaGuardia Vistas’, is a collage of photographs mounted on glass by the German visual artist and photographer Sabine Hornig. AP

Florida: The critical Sunshine State

Though mostly conservative, Florida is usually always “close” in presidential elections. In most elections, the candidate that wins the Sunshine State almost always wins the election, as evidenced in 2016 when Trump took Florida, a state which has not had a democratic governor since 1991. 

Joe Biden’s campaign has spent $100 million there to turn things around, understandable given the state’s crucial 29 electoral votes.

In 2016, Mr Trump’s democratic rival Hillary Clinton paid frequent visits to Florida though analysts concluded that she failed to appeal towards middle-class voters, whom Barack Obama won over in the previous election.
