In just a few short days, we're getting set to have one of the most important elections of our lifetime. Right in the middle of a global health crisis that adds barriers to the process, and we're all just doing the best we can. However, before the election happens, taking up a lot of our focus, we still have Halloween to think about. This year, it will be different, with many parents forgoing trick-or-treating to keep distance due to the health crisis.
Even if families aren't going out on Halloween, dressing up in costumes is still an option. After all, getting dressed up is the best part of the holiday, and there are a million-and-one different costume ideas.
This year, kids can mash together the two important events that are happening within just a few days of each other. If anyone has a child who wants to dress up for Halloween, inspired by politics and the election, we've rounded up some of our favorite finds around the internet.

An 11-year-old girl dressed up as historic Vice Presidential nominee Kamala Harris. She grabbed one of her mom's blue blazers, a string of pearls, heels, and leggings and put on her best performance of the powerhouse Senator.
Baby Obama
A little one took on the challenge of dressing up as former President Barack Obama with an adorable twist. Part of the costume is the podium where the president would give his iconic speeches, and it even comes complete with the flags, the microphone, and the White House emblem affixed on the stroller.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg

This young lady is the spitting image of late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, aka RBG. She has everything iconic that we think about when we think about this powerful woman. From the thick glasses to the lace ruffles around the collar of her gown. And of course, she's holding on to the book I Dissent: Ruth Bader Ginsburg Makes Her Mark to really get her point across.
Mini Michelle Obama
A beautiful young lady dressed up as the iconic and inspirational former First Lady Michelle Obama. She's got that incredible look that is the perfect balance between beauty and power. From the classic black dress to the understated pearl necklace, she really nails Michelle Obama's elegance.
Bernie Sanders Never Gets Old
It doesn't require a whole lot to rock an incredible Bernie Sanders Halloween costume, and this little baby has nailed exactly what's needed. To dress as the United States Senator, there's a balding white cap of hair that's easy to do when a bald baby has yet to sprout much hair. Pop on some glasses, and it's a total winner of a costume.
Little Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
For Halloween, this woman's niece dressed up as Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC), the U.S. Representative for New York's 14th congressional district. The young girl is wearing the glasses we've come to know from AOC and, of course, she has those signature hoop earrings on as well.
