Making a last pitch to get his former vice-president and Democratic presidential candidate Biden elected as the next occupant of the White House, Obama, during rallies in Michigan, blasted Trump for his policies and rhetoric.
The Republican president Trump is being challenged by Democratic Party nominee Joe Biden, who is best known as Barack Obama’s vice-president but has been in US politics since the 1970s.
In US election the number of votes you win is less important than where you win them. Most states nearly always vote the same way, meaning that in reality there are just a handful of states where both candidates stand a chance of winning. These are the places known as battleground states.
At the moment, polls in the battleground states look good for Joe Biden but things can change very quickly, especially when Donald Trump’s involved. The polls suggest Biden has big leads in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin – three industrial states his Republican rival won by margins of less than 1% to clinch victory in 2016.
But it’s the battleground states where Trump won big in 2016 that his campaign team will be most worried about. His winning margin in Iowa, Ohio and Texas was between 8-10% back then but it’s looking much closer in all three at the moment.
Donald Trump and Joe Biden have gone head-to-head in two live TV debates. The first, on 29 September, was a chaotic affair, with Trump’s combative approach stamping out any chance of a real debate.
