In the battle for the presidential office, candidates and their committees use various methods. They travel around the country and organise meetings with citizens, during which they present their visions for the future of the country. In addition, they prepare campaign slogans and posters, and take part in debates with other candidates. Think about how much you already know about the US presidential election and the political parties that put up their candidates.

W walce o urząd prezydencki kandydaci i ich komitety stosują różne metody. Jeżdżąc po kolejnych stanach, organizują spotkania z obywatelami, podczas których prezentują swoje wizje przyszłości kraju. Ponadto przygotowują slogany i plakaty wyborcze, biorą udział w debatach z innymi kandydatami. Zastanów się, jak dużo już wiesz na temat wyborów prezydenckich w USA i partii politycznych, które wystawiają w nich swoich przedstawicieli.
