Philippines leaves nearly a 1000000 people displaced and at least 10 dead. And a commanding lead for the ivory coast president in any Election Results dont rest continues as the opposition says the vote was neither free nor fair. Donald trump and his democratic opponent joe biden of embarked on the final 48 hours of campaigning to be the next president of the United States theyre targeting 8 states on sunday ahead of tuesdays poll but more than 93000000 voters have already returned their ballots early President Trump has been campaigning in michigan where he won by less than one percentage point in 2016 bidens lead in the opinion polls has stayed relatively steady in recent months but trump remains confident. Divide ruins china wins when we when america with. One of the 16 michigan voted to fire this corrupt political establishment and you elected an outsider as your president who is finally putting america 1st. If i dont sound like a typical washington politician its because im not a politician. As i dont always play by the rules of washington or the washington establishment is because i was elected to fight for you and nobody is ever fought harder for you. Biden is currently speaking hes been focusing on the state of pennsylvania which is key for both campaigns if they want to pos to victory so i have to vote like we never did before every day every days a reminder of how high the stakes are how far the other side will go to try to suppress the turnout especially here in philadelphia president tropfest terrified of what will happen in pennsylvania as the people of pennsylvania get to have their say if you have your say he doesnt stand a chance and we will have a chance he is following the campaign from washington but 1st Top White House correspondent i can really help get to sit with Biden Campaign in Pennsylvania Company why is that whats so important about that elfie. Well what i can tell you is that its important because its increasingly looking like pennsylvania is one of a handful of states that ultimately will decide this election now as you mentioned there has been a lot of optimism you heard there from joe biden that they believe that his campaign will win pennsylvania but in the last 24 hours there have been a few worrying signs it appears and so weve just received word from the Biden Campaign that in fact joe biden will be doing his 2 events including the one that hes speaking at right now hell go home to delaware and then hes coming back to this state tomorrow that signals the fact that theyre going to be blitzing the state one more time before november 3rd that they are not exactly confident of taking this state even though the polls show that biden will win pennsylvania now donald trump when he spoke here in pennsylvania yesterday said that he believes if he takes this the election is all over so each candidate sounding confident but the polls show trump behind and joe biden well in the lead its clear that his campaign is taking nothing for granted and can believe theres been a tension between the white house toss course on coronavirus a member. And the white house just days before the election post more about that particular rao. Yeah theres a bit of a controversy and it has to do a lot with a man by the name of scott atlas hes one of the president s advisors many of called into question some of his credentials and he has made controversy repeatedly but the president continues to back him now Dr Anthony Fauci in a wide ranging interview not only criticized the approach that donald trump has taken out against chrono virus but hes also raise some questions about this advisor Scott Atlas Scott Atlas is also made some news recently for giving an interview to a network known as russia today that apparently he was not aware that they are registered as a Foreign Agent in the United States and so he took to twitter to make an apology for doing so of course any sort of connection to russia particularly in this information in this administration is always called into question and of course we went back to the russia probe involving donald trump one that he called the hoax so in terms of the controversy surrounding scott atlas the touch dr anthony found she the white house is now coming out and criticizing dr foushee saying that he shouldnt have been political he shouldnt have been criticizing scott doubtless she should have been criticizing the president s Coronavirus Response given the fact that he is on the task force and he should remain a political especially so close to us elections so the white house clearly not pleased particularly knowing the president is fighting hard right now for reelection can be ok thank you very much want to join she have now from washington d. C. To talk us through the nations polls. Right well as can be suggested that the headline is theyre very close except in wisconsin where weve seen consistent large leads for joe biden in wisconsin which was trying to narrowly took him 26 you know as more of that in a 2nd perhaps but then it just depends on which poll you look at so the New York Times by 4744 but in florida but if you take a look at c. N. N. And its much closer or in pennsylvania biden has a big lead in in a couple of these polls but its much narrower others with the rebels the margin of error in others so its all much of a muchness i think if were trying to get something useful out of the polls i think the worrying thing that we saw in the New York Times polls was that a lot of the folks who didnt vote in 2016 according to the New York Times are going for biden and thats significant because we keep on hearing from the Trump Campaign that part of the their strategy is to have people especially white males without a College Degree registered this time around they didnt vote last time around and that will be the huge turnout you know that will give trump that red wall on tuesday of the New York Times just that isnt true having said that i just came out with them interesting information about what trumps inside polls are saying to them off the record now they have their own polling their own polling and they admitted tax yourself of the things all worst as far as i can see and i were in georgia than expected but they think things are better in texas nevada North Carolina arizona and wisconsin them than expected so look i mean you make of this as you will we will we can really say it is things are very very close in the polls she have a transit thank you very much to state donald trump off investors his home his response to the vice pandemic could be damaging his chance of winning votes in florida its Elderly Population has been hit hard and on with minority communities and businesses and you got to has more from miami. The Sunshine State is truly one of the most beautiful places on earth as election day approaches its become clear that of all the swing states florida is the one that matters most to both joe biden and donald trump the candidates in the surrogates have crisscrossed the state in a blitz of campaigning that reflects floridas status as the biggest battleground arena its also a state thats been ravaged by qubit 19 with more than 16000 deaths and cases once again on the rise states governor a close ally of the president has refused to initiate a lockdown and trumps doubling down on his opinion that the economy comes 1st we live there im still here and now were open for business and thats what. And thats what it is this explosive Economic Growth is 4 times greater than or what the experts expected but floridas large Elderly Population has been hit hard accounting for more than 40 percent of all faith teletubbies President Trump did well with older voters here in 2016 political experts say thats changed i think seeing the way the Trucking Industry has handled this pandemic has condensed a large number of senior voters that they need to see a change need somebody else need to see somebody else in charge of this pandemic somebody whos more inclined to take it seriously and actually try to bring this country safely through it so that they can see their grant its again communities of color in florida have also been disproportionately hit by the virus Underlying Health conditions limited access to health care and poverty of all made things worse why voters helped propel the president to a narrow victory in florida 4 years ago he also needs as many votes as possible from hispanics and africanamericans those supporting the former Vice President say hes more trustworthy he is now under a 50 he always thought about. Everyone he doesnt separate brought from y. And r. Their proposals that he have proposed and we believe him he tells the truth and if you make a mistake if it is far away and that we support will never hear him say sorry for nothing with all the lies that you dont like other states early voting in florida has seen record turnouts with the pandemic a big issue on voters minds everything about the pandemic joining this election cycle has been politicized from the whirring of masks to the balance between keeping the economy going and the dangers of a deadly virus whether that translates to a victory for either candidate remains to be seen but here every vote counts and the optics between these 2 campaigns couldnt be more different and electorate polarized by the handling of the pandemic hasnt given either candidate a commanding lead in florida but theres no question that its one of the dominant issues one that will play a major role in deciding who wins the president ial election and gallacher aljazeera miami florida.
