Amid US election 2020, an epic fan edit video, featuring Joe Biden as Captain America and Donald Trump as Thanos, has gone viral on the internet. The video shows Biden’s face-off against Trump in an incredible election-themed Avengers: Endgame edit. In the climax battle, while the 2019 movie sees a host of Avengers arriving to provide back up for Captain America, the viral fan edit shows powerhouse political stars like Kamala Harris and Barack Obama stepping in to help out Biden.
The clip was made by filmmaker and editor John Handem Piette. The first shot shows the Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden as Captain America squaring off with President Trump’s Thanos, before being joined by ‘Georgia’ but also more specifically Stacey Abrams and Atlanta mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms, as well as former President Barack Obama. Biden’s running mate Kamala Harris also flies in. She is then followed by Senators Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, and Cory Booker, alongside Beto O'Rourke and Pete Buttigieg.
The video also features the Squad members, Ayanna Pressley, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rashida Tlaib, and Ilhan Omar. Hillary Clinton, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and former First Lady Michelle Obama also pop up. Other big names who make appearances include Andrew Yang, Michigan's Governor Gretchen Whitmer, Hunter Biden, Elon Musk and Swedish activist Greta Thunberg. Even late stars such as Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Sean Connery lend a hand.

Biden claims 'we're going to win'
Meanwhile, as the wait continues for the results of US Election 2020 and incumbent Donald Trump has already questioned the integrity of democracy in the nation, Democratic Challenger Joe Biden addressed the Americans on November 7 from Delaware and assured, “we’re going to win” and called for unity. As opposed to Trump, who claimed baseless victories in some US states, the former US Vice President said that he won’t announce victory but cited the numbers projected by media networks.
Biden said “numbers tell it’s clear” before mentioning the situation in Georgia, the key battleground state where he was trailing on November 6 but acquired a lead in the road to 270 electoral votes. The Democratic Presidential Nominee has predicted 300 electoral votes but as of now, according to the projection by the Associated Press, Biden is at 264 with Trump trailing at 214.
