Trump at a campaign rally yesterday Gene J Puskar/PA Images

Trump foregoes preparation for his debate with Biden to campaign in crucial swing state

There is just under two weeks to go until election day.

DONALD TRUMP PUSHED into arguably the most important state on the electoral map yesterday, opting for a rally in Pennsylvania instead of formal debate practice two days ahead of the final presidential debate that may be his last and best chance to alter the trajectory of the 2020 campaign.

Democrat Joe Biden took the opposite approach, holing up for debate prep in the lead-up to Thursday’s face-off in Nashville.

But Trump, trailing in polls in most battleground states, continued his travel blitz in the race’s final fortnight and delivered what his campaign has wanted to be his closing message.

“This is an election between a Trump super recovery and a Biden depression. You will have a depression the likes of which you have never seen,” the president said in Erie, Pennsylvania.

“If you want depression, doom and despair, vote for Sleepy Joe. And boredom.”

But the president’s pitch that he should lead the rebuilding of an economy ravaged by the pandemic has been overshadowed by a series of fights.

In the last two days he has attacked the nation’s leading infectious disease expert and a venerable TV news-magazine while suggesting that the nation was tired of talking about a virus that has killed more than 220,000 Americans.

Before leaving the White House, Trump taped part of an interview with CBS programme 60 Minutes that apparently ended acrimoniously.

On Twitter, the president declared his interview with Lesley Stahl to be “FAKE and BIASED,” and he threatened to release a White House edit of it before its Sunday airtime.

Also trailing in fundraising for campaign ads, Trump is increasingly relying on his signature campaign rallies to deliver a closing message to voters and maximise turnout among his GOP base. His trip yesterday to Pennsylvania was one of what is expected to be several to the state in the next two weeks.

“If we win Pennsylvania, we win the whole thing,” Trump said in Erie.

Erie County, which includes the aging industrial city in the state’s north-west corner, went for Barack Obama by 5 percentage points in 2012 but broke for Trump by 2 in 2016.

That swing, fueled by Trump’s success with white, working-class, non-college-educated voters, was replicated in small cities, towns and rural areas and helped him overcome Hillary Clinton’s victories in the state’s big cities.

But the president will likely need to run up the score by more this time around as his prospects have slipped since 2016 in vote-rich suburban Philadelphia, where he under-performed by past Republican measures.

This raises the stakes for his campaign’s more aggressive outreach to new rural and small-town voters across the industrial north.

His aides worry that his opponent is uniquely situated to prevent that, as Mr Biden not only hails from Scranton but has built his political persona as a representative of the middle and working classes.

Meanwhile, Obama is returning to Philadelphia for his first in-person 2020 campaign event for his former vice president. He will speak on Wednesday at a drive-in rally, where supporters will listen to him over the radio inside their cars.

He also ordered air strikes on Syria and the war in Afghanistan is still ongoing. He tweeted that he is bringing them home by Christmas without consulting any generals when the deal in place keeps them there until May 2021. He just says things with no truth or substance to them and when they don’t happen it’s always someone else’s fault and his base just accept it blindly. It would be admirable if he wasn’t such a disaster.

    @Fintan Mac Giolla Pharic: In 2016 Trump won with 80,000 votes across 3 states.
    There was a huge voter suppression campaign in Wisconsin that contributed to the black vote being reduced by 15%
    People were complacent in 2016, believing there was no way Trump could win.

    If there was such a huge “silent” majority as you appear to be alluding to why are the voter suppression tactics so blatant?
    Why attack the postal vote during a literal pandemic?
    Why continue to try and ruin confidence in the election?
    Why will the Senate not pass the Bill that would provide money to protect the integrity of the election?

    I think you’re well aware that the motivation for voters in 2020 (and 2018 that resulted in the Dems taking the House) is glaringly clear. When everyone votes, the GOP loses, they knew that back in 1980, it led to the “court ban on Republican Party voter-fraud operations was imposed in 1982, and then modified in 1986 and again in 1990, each time after courts found instances of Republicans intimidating or working to exclude minority voters in the name of preventing fraud. The party was found to have violated it yet again in 2004.”

    Comparing 2020 to 2016 is a fools errand. People that have never voted are voting in 2020. People that thought Hillary had it in the bag and didn’t bother are voting in 2020.

    You just have to look at the early voting numbers.

    Now, returning to Trump scrapping by on 80,000 votes across 3 States, do you REALLY think he’s increased his support since then?

    Trump has been doing two rallies a day and increasing to up to five coming to the election. MSM won’t cover him except in a negative way. Meanwhile Joe Biden put a lid on his campaign for 4 days until debate. The corporate media is doing his campaigning for him. They haven’t asked him about Hunter allegations or the about the way he disparaged minorities during his speeches during the time he wrote the 1994 crime bill that increased mass incarnation of minorities. Meanwhile the debate commission changes the topic of the debate away from foreign policy. Something that Joe Biden has been a failure on his whole career. From support of Iraq and Libyan wars. Trump is ending wars and has 4 Nobel peace prize nominations for his peace deals. If Trump manages to win this election people on here will be scratching their heads to why and how he won. I feel like it will 2016 all over again. Allegations of Russian interference again despite massive attendance at his rallies and an increase in popularity of black and ethnic minority voters, especially Latino voters in places like Florida. Can anyone name any of Biden’s achievements during his 47 years in politics?

    @Tim Quigley: The US has always been divided. Was before Trump and will be long after Trump. Trump introduced a travel ban for China early on, at the same time Speaker Pelosi called him racist for this and told everyone to go party in China Town. Biden called Trump xenophobic for the same travel ban. Fauci said this resulted in reduction of many deaths. He has also cut regulations and mobilised corporations to work on ventilators and Vaccines.
    Btw, Europe has more deaths now than the US despite Europe having the most strict lockdown guidelines and cases are rising significantly.

    He has been a disaster and his administration is in chaos.

    @Winston Smith: the virus was already in the US most likely it had come in from Europe judging by how NY got his hardest first. The other issue was there were still tens of thousands of travellers from China entering the US after the so called ban. US citizens and green card holders were allowed back in with no quarantining or follow up.

    The xenophobic thing was Trump and MAGAts having an issue with Nancy Pelosi visiting Chinatown which last time I looked is in the US. Why make an issue of that unless you are deliberately dog whistling about Chinese Americans?

    POOF. You need to learn the rudiments of logic but as a tribute to your Poofer non president you do him proud. Piffle, Palaver and Poofery.

The truth is getting out there. By the next Debate it will be huge mainstream news. I am sure it will be some BS spin put on in the end by the usual suspects but it’s going to be a major factor in the Election.

    @my name: here is a shocker people can have differing view but can also be impartial by following rules. Trump couldn’t abide by the rules he agreed on last time. Threw a hissy fit at the idea of a remote debate and decided not to do it. He will claim bias either way and you will agree as you made up your mind before it happened. So don’t think yourself impartial but other people have the ability even while disagreeing with what is said.

    @Craic_a_tower: Trump will bring up the emails do you think the moderator will push Biden on it? It’ll be just like the town hall last week when he was pushed again on white supremacy and Biden wasn’t asked one telling question at all. Historically the third debate was foreign policy but they’ve changed the rules as you’ve said were agreed before any debate

    @my name: I am sure Trump will bring up the emails but he won’t be able to keep mentioning it as per the rules. He will of course try and that is where you will claim bias when he stopped. The emails are only doing one thing confirming those who already believe Trump is best but nobody else is really bothered because compared to Trump’s actions and behaviour the accusations are nothing even if true. Last minute badmouthing is all Trump has now. Still think is strange a blind man handing in information that included selfies of a person passed out. The article you posted up is not proof as it comes from a very bias media source that is against the democrats. Do you really think Trump’s name calling and attacking the country’s own experts is a good thing?

    @my name: no, no. You did not answer the question nor say how I was a hypocrite. You didn’t post evidence you post an article interpreting what was said. The FBI have neither confirmed nor denied the Russians are involved the article you posted doesn’t mention that fact. You do realise that it would be illegal to access the persons data in Europe as this computer shop did? Making copies and giving it to other people also illegal here? The fact he is blind does lead to questions about who dropped in the laptops and if they took advantage of his disability. So to be accurate here the emails are not verified as Hunter’s and the copied hard drive was sat on by Republicans and released at a time that suited them. You don’t see that as problematic?

    Data laws in Europe have nothing to do with this case at all.
    Biden signed a order sheet for the work to be done on the laptop. As per T&C’s after 90 days that laptop is now property of the shop. Signed by Hunter Biden

    @my name: I never said every word printed about him is true so no hypocrisy. I just pointed the source you used was bias. No signatures confirmed and the FBI have not verified the emails they basically said no comment. If you read more sources you could see that. You claim you want the media to be unbiased but in your eyes that actually means bias as you are so biased already you want it to agree with your view. The Trump appointed head of COJ was on Fox News claiming he had not confirmed it was not Russian involvement. His job depends on Trumps re-election so do you think he has a reason to lie? His future depends on staying in Trumps good books even if not elected. Provide proof it is Hunter,s unaltered hard drive. I don’t have to point to any of Trump’s misdeeds to want proof
