Formula one Lewis Hamilton wins again this time in italy to extend his record breaking number of victories of 293. M k richards and welcome to the show us President Donald Trump and his democratic rival joe biden are making their final pitches to voters ahead of tuesdays election trump is holding Campaign Rallies in 5 battleground states on sunday including michigan North Carolina georgia and florida meanwhile biden is poking his attack is focusing his attention on the pivotal state of pennsylvania a record 19000000 early votes have already been cast as the contest heads toward the biggest turnout in at least a century. Well joining me now is our chief Political Editor in washington d. C. As you know were nearly there only 2 days until election day why are biden and trump a visiting these states in particular. Well because they know they need 2 options of pasta was the presidency that is either the rust belt or the sun belt by the south now joe biden decided on the rust belt state of pennsylvania today where he really has to make a cause for getting him elected this is after his comments that are critical of a continuation of fossil fuels here in the United States and that is something that could be seen as a job killer so he knows that he has to gain some ground that pennsylvania expected to be a key state and with donald trump heading for the Southern Roots more today but quite clearly he aims to be zigzagging the country to get that small monton to fight until the very last moment because although do biden is seen overall in the lead by the pollsters there individual districts also individual states where his is within the error of margin and we all remember from 2016 what that could mean almost a major polling that shows biden currently ahead in all of the critical battleground states what difference if any is this last minute blitz going to really make in those key states. Well it demonstrates commitment thats what trump is a banking on but at the same time we know that a lot of votes have already simply been cost more than 90000000. 00 that translates into more than 70 percent of ballots that were actually handed in last time around a lot more postal balloting and this is actually a key issue because we see these candidates on the campaign trail still but a lot of this is life has to be fought in the courts we heard donald trump today before his rally in North Carolina say that he wants to see a result on Election Night that he thinks its very bad as he put it that ballots should be really counted after election day and i have to add that that is something that is a common practice in states like pennsylvania who allow for postal ballots to be posted and handed in up until election day is the postal stamp that counts well he disagrees and here the republicans lost a key challenge in texas today where they had tried to get 130000 ballots declared invalid because they were cast through a drive in ballot box system and we expect to see a lot of that and we expect to see a lot of that on the Election Night so we might even see donald trump declare himself and thats what everybody is afraid of to have won because he feels winning means winning on the night but a lot of ballots will still have to be counted in the following days and as it looks a very significant chunk of those ballots cast.
