By analysing the four potential outcomes of the election, firms can better prepare for the different regulatory outcomes each one would bring and their impact.
Oxford Analytica partnered with ING Group to develop a structured analysis of the upcoming US presidential election in 2020, examining each of the potential electoral outcomes and the likely political and economic policies that each would bring. In a series of in-depth thought leadership reports, we have explored how the race has been influenced by external and internal processes and extraordinary developments.
Methodology
To produce this analysis, we draw upon our internal expertise as well as the knowledge of expert network, making use of a team of American politics, economic, foreign policy experts.
As part of the series, Oxford Analytica and ING teams monitor the US election landscape and assess the policy implications of each scenario.
Our analysis helps to further guide public and private sector institutions in preparing for the regulatory, economic and political changes that will follow the 2020 election.
Webinars
The next scenario report will be launched at the Global Horizons webinar series on October 15, entitled Trump vs. Biden – A Turning Point for the World?. The session will run twice with different speakers – once at 4:00 am ET (9:00 am UK) and again at 11:00 am ET (4:00 pm UK).

Latest update
In a series of updates to the in-depth report, we have collaborated again with ING Group to look at how the race is being influenced by the extraordinary developments this year. US Politics Watch: Biden – His Time? was released in June 2020.
The scenarios
The potential outcomes of the 2020 election are presented within four scenarios:
- United States of Trump
- A Republican Phoenix
- Consensus Builders Emerge
- A New New Deal
Each scenario provides an analysis of what type of events point to them taking place, signposts of how to identify if they are taking shape, and what regulation and policy initiatives could follow post 2020 across a variety of different areas, including taxation, technology, the environment and infrastructure. By presenting the scenarios in the form of how they might happen and what it would mean if they did, ING and its clients have a concise way to evaluate the impact of current political developments and conceptualise future outcomes to prepare for different regulatory environments, helping to minimise any future disruption and improve planning.
Methodology
To produce this analysis, Oxford Analytica drew upon its internal team as well as the knowledge of its expert network, making use of a team of American politics experts including Washington insiders.
While the report does not discuss the probability of each scenario occurring, as the election draws nearer and the field of candidates narrows, Oxford Analytica and ING will produce routine updates, discussing any changes in their potential impact as well as the likelihood of each scenario taking place. Our analysis helps to further guide firms in preparing for the regulatory, economic and political changes that will follow the 2020 election.
