last few weeks with biden holding 7 percentage points over trump nationally now it's down to the final battle for swing states and the remaining undecided voters but most have already made up their minds so it's not good for all. these people were unable to get into the president's campaign event in pennsylvania despite queueing for alice but it didn't dampen their enthusiasm. or dent their belief that victory in november election will be that. it's good to see that there's this much support because everybody wants you to believe that he's not going to win and biden's going to take over and that's not the case trump will prevail it will be 2020 trying to make america great again. in a nearby hangout in this vital swing state trump is once again pushing the key theme of this campaign. and. biden's plan is to apiece the
