– President Trump and Joe Biden are set to hit the campaign trail on Tuesday, with the former vice president heading to Georgia, which hasn’t voted for a Democrat in a presidential election since 1992. Biden, who is trailing Trump in the polls, will visit an afternoon event in Warm Springs and an evening rally in Atlanta, Reuters reports. Former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who lost to Biden in the Democratic primary, will spend $15 million on TV ads in Texas and Ohio in the days leading up to the election. A round-up of coverage: The Washington Post reports that on Monday, Biden told reporters he believes he has a “fighting chance” to win Georgia, which has not voted for a Democrat in a presidential election since 1992. The race is now neck-and-neck, according to the latest Public Policy Polling survey. The poll has Biden at 42% and Trump at 44% in the state, which has not voted for a Democratic president since Jimmy Carter. The race is also close in North Carolina, which hasn’t voted for a Republican president since Gerald Ford in 1976, and in Florida, which hasn’t voted for a Democratic president since Bill Clinton in 1996. The New York Times reports that on Monday, Biden told reporters he believes he has a “fighting chance” to win Georgia, which has not voted for a Republican president since George W. Bush in 2000.
