Now, let's be real—wherever you go these days, you're probably hearing a lot about the upcoming presidential election.

And let's face it, regardless of which side of the aisle you're on, if you're in the U.S., you care deeply about what happens in November. Even if you're outside the U.S., you know how much this election can impact the world.
