The 2020 Presidential Election Through the Eyes of Magnum Photographers
Over 72 hours, 30 Magnum members photographed across six US states and 12 countries, capturing rallies, debates, simmering tensions, isolation, unity, and conflict….



In the days and weeks leading up to this year’s U.S. election, as the ever-narrowing race found itself squarely at the center of the world’s attention, the range of possible outcomes for a country divided by a pandemic, a civil rights movement, and structural inequality was near overwhelming. As the past 72 hours have unfolded under the global spotlight, however, America has risen to the challenge with record voter turnout ahead of a new chapter in its history.
Still, as any photographer will tell you, any attempt to capture the full picture is futile. Instead, the most telling stories have been those taking place on an atomic level—from cookie stores to individual poll workers to family farms—and how they represent the fractures that run across the entire country, and the possibilities the election holds to reconcile them.
From all over the world, here Magnum photographers share a snapshot of this unique moment in time. Taken over three days from Monday morning to Wednesday night, across numerous U.S. states and countries as far-flung as Russia, Iran, and Mexico, the images reflect the various ways in which communities responded to the events as they unfolded.

Cardi B’s $60K Birkin Bag Gets The ‘Mommy Treatment’ As Daughter Unleashes Her Creativity

In a moment of relatable frustration, Cardi B took to Instagram to share a funny yet surprising story about her expensive $60,000 Birkin bag, one of her favorite items from her luxury collection.

Although she was frustrated, the mom of three tried to take it all in stride, at least for the moment. Cardi values her hard-earned luxury items, especially her growing collection of high end bags.

The post quickly gained attention online, with fans sympathizing with Cardi’s situation.

She confidently asserted her spot in the entertainment world, clarifying that her fans, known as “The Brim,” are not going anywhere.
