Without any iota of doubt, President Donald Trump will be testing his popularity again amid a deluge of controversies that has seen him vilified in the media, with his handling of the COVID-19 crisis and the recent #BlackLiveMatters movement being a crack on his candidacy.
Trump, so brazen and outspoken, will this time throw the hat into the ring with former vice president Joe Biden who has Senator Kamala Harris as his running mate.
With online poll conducted so far favouring the Democratic Party (DP) candidate, there is an open possibility that Trump may lose out in the presidential election.
Only 10 incumbent presidents in US history have won their party's nomination but failed to win reelection.
And should President Trump lose out, he will become the 11th US leader to be given a marching order out of the Oval Office through a democratic process that handed him the mantle of responsibility in 2016 when he defeated Hillary Clinton.
