The fierce battle to become the 45th President of the United States of America reaches its climax on Tuesday 8th November 2016. If successful, Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton will become the first female president while Republican nominee Donald Trump could become the oldest president to take office if he is victorious.
Both candidates are generally unpopular with the American public following controversial campaigns. Clinton who has recently been cleared by the FBI of any wrongdoing with regard to her usage of a private email server, is considered to possess the required temperament for the Oval Office despite reservations over how honest and trustworthy she is. Trump, whose campaign has been beset with criticism over derogatory comments previously made by the Republican candidate, is believed to be the one who could potentially bring about real change in Washington. There are concerns however, over his suitability to the role and the impact his election could have on global security.
Let’s take a closer look at both candidates:
Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton was born on the 26th October 1947 to parents Hugh and Dorothy Rodham in Chicago, Illinois. She is the wife of former US president Bill Clinton and has one daughter. Clinton served as US Secretary of State from 2009 to 2013 and held the status of First Lady of the United States from 1993 to 2001. She is the only former first lady to be elected to the US Senate and hold a federal cabinet level position.
Businessman, politician and television personality, Donald John Trump was born in Queens, New York on the 14th June 1946. His father Fred Trump was a self-made real estate broker; his mother Mary was a Scottish immigrant. Trump is chairman and president of The Trump Organisation. Trump’s business interests have included: Office Towers, Hotels, Casinos, Golf Courses and a range of Food and Drink brands. Donald Trump also hosted and co-produced reality series The Apprentice from 2004 to 2015. Trump has been married three times and has five children.
