(REUTERS): US President Donald Trump and Democratic rival Joe Biden will hold a series of rallies in key swing states during the final day of campaigning in their long race for the White House.
According to details, Trump trails Biden in national opinion polls ahead of Tuesday’s Election Day. However, Trump could still piece together the 270 votes needed to prevail in the state-by-state Electoral College that determines the winner.
Trump, will hold rallies in North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and two in Michigan. He won those states in 2016 against Democrat Hillary Clinton, but polls show Biden is threatening to recapture them for Democrats.
Trump will wrap up his campaign in Grand Rapids, Michigan, the same place he concluded his 2016 presidential run with a post-midnight rally on Election Day.
Joe Biden will rally union members and members of the African-American community in the Pittsburgh area before being joined for an evening drive-in rally in Pittsburgh by singer Lady Gaga. Biden also will make a detour to bordering Ohio, spending time on his final campaign day in the state.
Biden accuses Trump of giving up on fighting the pandemic, which has killed more than 230,000 Americans and cost millions of jobs. Polls show Americans trust Biden more than Trump to fight the virus.
Trump is aiming to avoid becoming the first incumbent president to lose re-election since fellow Republican George H.W. Bush in 1992. During a frantic five-state swing yesterday, Mr Trump claimed he had momentum. He promised an economic revival and imminent delivery of a vaccine to fight the pandemic.
