– With eight days to go until Election Day, Donald Trump and Joe Biden made their final pitches to voters in swing states, with Trump telling a rally in Pennsylvania on Monday that “we win Pennsylvania, we win the whole ballgame,” Reuters reports. “I think we’re going to win Michigan, I think we’re going to win Wisconsin, I think we’re going to win Minnesota, I think we’re going to win Ohio,” said Biden, the state where he was born. “I think we have a fighting chance in Ohio. I think we have a fighting chance in North Carolina. We have a fighting chance in Georgia.” Biden said he was “not overconfident about anything” and “with the grace of God” he would win Pennsylvania, the state where he was born. Biden also stepped up his criticism of Trump’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic that has killed more than 225,000 people in the United States. “The bottom line is, Donald Trump is the worst possible president, the worst possible person to lead us through this pandemic,” he said. Trump told reporters he expected to win Pennsylvania by a larger margin than the 0.72% victory he achieved in defeating Hillary Clinton in 2016. Trump again asserted that his administration was ‘doing a great job’ against the pandemic and that the United States was ‘absolutely rounding the corner.’ He accused Biden of wanting to return to widespread lockdowns that he said would harm the economy. A Reuters/Ipsos poll conducted from Oct. 20 to 26 gave Biden a narrow advantage.
