US Presidential campaign enters its final day

With less than 36 hours to go for the United States Presidential elections, President Donald Trump held rallies in battleground states of Michigan, Iowa and North Caroline and planned stops in Georgia and Florida. Biden made an appearance in the closely contested state of Pennsylvania.

Biden is set to close his campaign in Pittsburgh where he made his maiden campaign appearance in April 2019.

Held in the middle of pandemic that has claimed many American lives, aside from a series of civil rights protests and fallen economy, the US election this year is deemed to define the future course of America.

Florida, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, North Carolina, Arizona, Wisconsin, Iowa are the key states also known as the swing states, where the spotlight are on. A majority of the voters from these states flipped from supporting Obama to Trump in 2016.

As Donald Trump seeks re-election, predictions show a better chance for Joe Biden who holds a clear advantage over the President across four of the swing states.

The polls also indicate that the presidential election is getting tighter even though Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden continues to maintain substantial lead over Republican’s Donald Trump.

In the national polls, Trump continues to trail with a 42% chance as compared to a 51% of Biden, according to the latest Reuters poll. Similarly, a New York Times poll showed Joe Biden holding a clear advantage over 4 important swing states- Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Florida and Arizona. Biden’s electoral position appears to put him in a stronger position than any presidential candidate since 2008.

Democratic Vice Presidential nominee Kamala Harris has sought a decisive mandate from Americans so that no amount of legal battle can overturn the poll results. Earlier Donald Trump hinted that he is gearing up for a legal battle in the counting of mail and absentee votes post the election
