Human presence in space we look back at the International Space stations past and what it has ahead. Well its all down to the battleground states ahead of tuesdays u. S. President ial election donald trump is on a world win blitz of 5 of them and just as finished a rally in georgia earlier in iowa he painted more gloomy pictures of what a biden presidency could look like. The biden herons plan would outlaw American Energy you would at least economic misery for iowa wisconsin pennsylvania michigan and every other state in america your energy costs would go up at a level that youve never seen he wants to raise your taxes and you know its not him he has no clue hes shot ok hes got the guy has total you know it i know it were all trying to be nice but i know im also for a while hes got a nice guy joe bidens been focusing on pennsylvania well trump won the all important swing state by less than half a percent in 2016 selection by people to come out and vote against trump this time last time donald trump brand he won the state by 44000 votes so every single vote matters the power part of change is country is littered now your hands i dont care how hard donald trump tries there is not nothing hes going to do to stop this nation from voting no matter what it drives will always going to 2000000. 00 early ballots have been constant the judge has now ordered the Postal Service to take extraordinary measures to ensure each and every one of them is delivered before the cutoff point and he is in miami for a sun lets just begin with President Trump hes about to hold a rally in in the state where you are. He is yeah but this is 5 states hes covered in just one evening it started in iowa before he moved on to michigan North Carolina georgia and of course here in florida and i think that just shows whats at stake here trump won a state like michigan in 2016 biden is showing a lead there in the polls but trump took a lot of those rust belt states back in 2016 something that hadnt been done since Ronald Reagan but this is really about energizing his base giving his supporters a pretty stark choice are will keep the economy open the covert 19 virus were just around the corner and of course he says theres a vaccine coming to all of this went on saturday 99000 new cases were reported but i think this just shows you how both candidates are scrambling for every single vote in this election meanwhile joe biden spent the day in pennsylvania urging africanAmerican Voters to get out to the polls saying they cant just stand aside there is simply too much at stake of course President Trump won that state by less than one percent by about 40 4000. 00 votes so that just goes to show you how tight a race this may be and how it will come down to those all important battleground states of course and the how significant no is this judgment about postal votes. I mean if this is playing right into the hands of the president who said that mail in ballots are always bad youve got the u. S. Postal service whose delivery rates seem to be dropping as we approach election day in some states its below 90 percent its even going down below 50 percent in other states and in about half of all states ballots are not counted if they arrive late so that gives us the possibility of protracted legal battles if they dont get things done on time there is now a great deal of oversight a judge saying listen you need to take extraordinary measures to get these ballots delivered on time and here in Miami Dade County on social media there was a picture of ballots just scattered on a postal room floor so local authorities are saying they need to check all the postal offices to make sure that isnt happening anywhere else that is something neither candidate wants to see and certainly the voting American Public do not want to see either and of course the messaging and d. From either candidate is you know diametrically opposed whether that messenger messaging is changing in the final hours as the vote begins. I mean these are 2 candidates that are messaging is at polar opposite so youve got President Trump continually saying that his nation is turning a corner despite the fact that more than 40 states are seeing rapidly rising cases as the winter months approach and then youve got joe biden saying look if i become president in january i will listen to the scientists i will follow their advice if necessary all mandate mask wearing so it is polar opposites. And voters are really being left with a choice because the cap pandemic is the defining issue of this election whether they go with trump believe the fact that the curve at 19 virus will be over soon or whether they go with joe biden who says look we are approaching the darkest month something dr anthony also said in the last few hours so the choice is pretty stark for the American Voters but the message from both candidates very very different indeed and you go for us in miami thank you. Lindsey is an associate professor of womens gender and sexuality studies at Ohio State University she explains her terms of 4 years in office wont affect how women vote. I think there has been a considerable considerable shipped in terms of his work from women and i think looking at the last few years of his 1st term its important to see all of the ways that addressed women did not address womens concerns in secular stop the flames of sexism and misogyny through its policies and through his rhetoric and i think more women became acutely aware of what many women 1000000 the new economy 60 prior to be elected women are in voters across the Border Crossing race across ethnicity across class and need in voting in president ial races and i think there will be no difference on tuesday and what weve seen in terms of early voting turnout out the nation i think womens votes and womens voices in this election will be a significant and be the thing that turns thats high in a bar more more than likely for by now the f.
