It is time for donald trump to pack his bags and go home. Ben wright is our north america correspondent. It is now up to the American People as these two candidates, President Trump and joe biden of the democrats stop and see what happens. They do but a frenzied pace right to the continuing to demonstrate the start differences between them. Donald trump continuing to barrelled through battle states, continuing to feel arenas with people, not much social distancing occurring. Joe biden, you had the honking of cars with a big dollop of stardust from lady gaga. Very different looks and totally different looks and totally different messages. Donald trump telling his still very enthusiastic core supporters that four more years will be more of the same. Joe biden tried to persuade americans that it tried to persuade americans thatitis tried to persuade americans that it is time for something calmer, it is time to train in the division in america, to get a grip in the coronavirus pandemic. Joe biden goes into election date knowing hes ahead the polls nationally. Leslie has into the battlegrounds but he is still ina battlegrounds but he is still in a consistently comfortable position in the polls but he also knows what happened four yea rs also knows what happened four years ago and so does donald trump he was telling his supporters to be prepared for another surprise. Many would argue that when you look at what donald trump has been doing in the last few days, it has been very strategic. To get those voters to come out and vote on a tuesday who perhaps are off the radar of the pollsters and that is why it is quite hard to say what might happen, what the outcome might be . That is very true. Of the 100 million early votes cast so far, quite extraordinary number, the democrats will the good proportion of those, certainly the mail in dallas will be going their way. The expectation of both camps is that perhaps people turning up on election day itself will be more republicans. There is a silent number of donald Trump Supporters who have not made themselves apparent to pollsters and to the parties over the last few weeks of campaigning who may give the president quite a left into the closing stages of this campaign. That is certainly a fear in thejoe Biden Campaign and a big hope in the Donald Trump Campaign by the early voting statistics are extraordinary. In some states more people have already voted than voted at tall last time. It shows the degree of enthusiasm and engagement in this pivotal election across the United States but there is also a real sense of foreboding because we do not know how long the final counting of votes will take. Donald trump has warned many times over the last few weeks and months that he does not think that postal ballots are a particularly legitimate way of voting. He discussed ungrounded aspersions on voterfraud. He discussed ungrounded aspersions on voter fraud. He said discussed ungrounded aspersions on voterfraud. He said he discussed ungrounded aspersions on voter fraud. He said he will put his nose into action on tuesday.
