트럼프, 美 공화당 대선후보 확정…재선 도전 본격화

With the Republican National Convention underway, the race for the White House is officially on.
It's President Trump versus former Vice President Joe Biden.
COVID-19 and mail-in voting are expected to be the big issues for voters.
Jang Tae-hyun reports.
The Republican Party has officially nominated President Trump for a second term in the White House.
336 delegates participated in Monday's roll-call vote from a Charlotte Convention Center ballroom in North Carolina.
It makes it official that the presidential race on November 3rd will be between Donald Trump and Joe Biden.
According to RealClearPolitics survey conducted between early to mid August, Biden has a 50 percent approval rating,... a seven-point-six point lead over President Trump.
President Trump is focused on boosting the economy and getting students back to school... while Biden is concentrating on containing the spread of COVID-19 and even considering whether to put the country on lockdown if necessary.
Mail-in voting is another hot issue, but President Trump is rallying hard against it.
"We have to be very careful because they are trying it again with this whole 80 million mail-in ballots that they are working on, sending them out to people that didn't ask for them. They didn't ask. They just get them."
As polls show more Democratic voters than Republican voters are concerned about COVID-19, the ability for them to mail-in their votes could give Biden a boost in the polls.
