Diversified Securities Inc. trader Aniceto Pangan believes neither a Democratic or Republican win would substantially alter current US economic policies. A Biden presidency would “be more focused on social issues, particularly on human rights issues,” he added. As of press time, Biden has 253 Electoral College votes while Trump has 213, according to a CNN tally. A candidate needs to reach the 270 mark —equivalent to 50 percent plus one — to win the presidency. Biden is currently leading in four of the five so-called battleground states of Georgia, Pennsylvania, Nevada and Arizona.
