President Donald Trump says he is not nervous about Election Day, despite his prestige as an outsider.
“Well, I’ve been here before,” Trump told reporters for an election rally in Kenosha, Wisconsin. “We are in a much more powerful position than before. “
Trump said he is “very concerned” about Pennsylvania and again criticized the state Supreme Court for allowing state election officials to settle for mail ballots up to three days after Tuesday.
After tweeting earlier that the court’s ruling is “dangerous” and can simply “induce violence on the streets,” Trump told reporters, “It’s a mistake. This allows you to cheat. “
Trump also announced an addition to his mild schedule in a different way for Election Day: a stopover at his re-election headquarters in suburban Arlington, Virginia.
As he prepared for his ninth rally in two days, and will have a tenth later Monday in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Trump said, “It was a day, two amazing days. “

Joe Biden’s crusade Monday rejected any attempt by President Donald Trump to claim victory on election night before all votes were counted and said they were not concerned about Trump’s risk of sending lawyers to Pennsylvania.
“Under no circumstances will Donald Trump be declared the winner on election night,” Biden’s crusader manager Jen O’Malley Dillon said at a Zoom press conference.
Even if Trump wipes out three battlefield states in the South (Florida, Georgia, and North Carolina), its effects are expected to end sooner, he said, the president will still run out of 270 electoral votes. He would want to win one or more, even two of the three Midwest states, Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, which can take several days to count his large volume of absentee votes.
“We know those states, in particular, will arrive a little later, but we think we’ll win those states,” O’Malley Dillon said. “This is our clearest path to victory. “
Michigan and Pennsylvania do not allow ballots to be processed by mail until Election Day, while Michigan did not begin until Monday. O’Malley recalled that Pennsylvania did not call Trump until about 1:30 a. m. in the 2016 election. will be “probably later than that” this year.
“When Donald Trump says the ballots counted later deserve to be canceled, he just makes it up,” he said. “Fundamentally, there is no old precedent that any of our elections have taken a stand and been counted and absolutely verified on election night. “
Trump denied a report in Axios that he planned to claim victory if he moved forward in Pennsylvania and many other states on Election Day, even though poll recounts are being conducted by mail, but said it would be unfair for Pennsylvania and other states to count. the polls after Tuesday, as they plan to do.
“As soon as they finish that election, we talked to our lawyers,” Trump said Sunday, referring to Pennsylvania.
Bob Bauer, Biden’s senior crusader adviser and former White House attorney for Barack Obama, said they were “perfectly prepared for any kind of legality of one kind or another,” but “don’t worry about it. “
Also: Democrats led early voting after Trump’s attacks on ballots. Now Trump will have to dominate Election Day
Biden has an advantage between the ballots before Election Day, nationally and in the battlefield states, due to the mail vote that strongly favored the former vice president.
O’Malley Dillon said Biden had the votes of 53% of the other people who voted so far in North Carolina, 58% in Wisconsin and 53% in Arizona, by Tuesday. To win the states, he said Trump would want 62 percent of the user vote on Election Day in North Carolina, 61. 5 percent in Wisconsin and 60 percent in Arizona.
“It’s not impossible, ” he said. But it is vital to say that we reach Election Day with a significant advantage. “

Quinnipiac University’s most recent 2020 ballot finds that Democratic candidate Joe Biden has an 11-point national merit on President Donald Trump among the most likely voters, from 50% to 39%.
The poll also revealed that Biden had a 47% to 42% advantage among florida’s most likely electorate, a state that would almost secure a victory for Biden if the Democratic nominee could return it.
“Florida, Florida, Floride. There is some confidence that the votes will be counted in time to claim a winner on Tuesday night. As summer continues in years, both sides are sweating a final account that, if going in Biden’s direction, can make the rest of the vote almost irrelevant,” said Quinnipiac analyst Tim Malloy.
Quinnipiac had as much bad news as possible for Trump in Ohio than any Republican without having won the White House, bringing Biden 47 percent to 43 percent among Buckeye state voters.
“In a state that has selected the winner of each and every presidential election since 1964, Ohio is a tight race on the eve of Election Day 2020. Donald Trump won the state smoothly in 2016, but lost the floor in the final stretch opposite Joe Biden,” said Mary Snow, Quinnipiac analyst.
The surveys were conducted from October 28 to November. The national margin of error 2. 5 percentage points; for Florida, 2. 4 issues and 2. 6 for Ohio.

President Donald Trump, who has threatened to take legal action against Pennsylvania’s plans to count the ballots after Election Day, attacked the concept at its rally Monday in Keystone state.
“Make sure your governor doesn’t cheat,” Trump told his supporters at a rally at Wilkes-Barre Scranton International Airport, referring to Pennsylvania’s Democratic Governor Tom Wolf.
Wolf and other state officials said Trump is the one who seeks to cheat by blocking the votes of others who need to mail ballots due to considerations about the COVID-19 pandemic.

“As soon as those elections end, we make comments with our lawyers,” Trump said before an election rally in North Carolina.
Trump, who won by narrow margin in Pennsylvania four years ago, is likely to win the state this week if he wants to triumph over Democratic challenger Joe Biden.
In Pennsylvania and other states, Trump is expected to do well with the electorate’s vote on Election Day; Biden is expected to get it as ballots are counted by mail in the coming days.
State officials have said that’s why Trump should avoid counting votes by mail and have lawyers willing to overcome any legal challenge.
Pennsylvania attorney general Josh Shapiro said Sunday on Twitter that “our elections end when all votes are counted. “
Shapiro, citing past legal victories over Republicans, tweeted trump: “But if his lawyers need to judge us, we will be happy to return him to court. “

Voters watched in advance for months as Congressional and White House leaders discussed some other stimulus plan for coronavirus, hoping that it would provide some other $1,200 stimulus check circular and a more beneficial weekly unemployment payment to succeed over the global pandemic.
But an agreement never materialized, even when millions of people were unemployed, the total number of COVID-19 cases was higher and profits expired. Democrats blamed Republicans after President Donald Trump withdrew from negotiations and then changed course. Republicans also said Democrats were guilty of refusing to expand their package. The round of negotiations, full of moments of hope and then dismay when the two sides were stagnant, took a position as the electorate made decisions about who they would return to the election.
Polls show that the electorate has COVID-19 and the economy at the forefront, which places them among the two most sensitive disorders in a recent USA TODAY/Suffolk survey. on both sides, the president added, as the mess in Washington fueled an anti-exit narrative.

The Swing says: All eyes will be on those six states on Election Day. Here’s what we know.
Voting in the 2020 election ends tuesday, nine months after the first number one election in iowa caucuses, but not before the electorate in several states has one more day to rise to the already general record for early voting.
According to the U. S. Election Project, more than 93 million Americans have already voted before Election Day on Tuesday, or about 68 of the total turnout in the 2016 election.

Although ballots are counted after Election Day, especially postal ballots or absentia, Trump insisted that the final count be done on Tuesday.
