minnesotans become something of an unlikely battleground state with both candidates very much keen to make their voices heard that.. yeses it's not often that yoyou see two candidadates in te same state o on the samee day in cities that are as so close so it i is shohowing youou that. ad bothth campaignsns. largely on e midwest brady said it is an aunt a battleground state because minnesota has actually not gone republican since nineteen seventy two i went to richard nixixon a one at this stage so it's pretty much a safe bet for of f the democrats thataid. and the l lead for democrats in minnesota has been gradually coming and down and down and you mentioned the one point five. percentage point win by hillary clinton back in twenty sixteen i want to bomb a wanted in twenty twelve and

that was a very big margin winner for at barack obama so hey joe biden and his campaign don't want to make the same mistake that some say hillary clinton made by not campaigning as hard. in the midwest and in minnesota in particular now- on the trump campaign signs and they feel thahat even though its not a likely win t there is a possibilitity in the field that he has to campaign there in order to try to close that narrow gap that said- joe biden as you said it has been leading in the polls. in in minnesota the average lead for joe biden over donald trump is about 9210% so it seems like a really clear bets but joe biden and does not want to leave any stone unturned. he's going to minnesota and he's probably going to keep up with what he- spoke about it during his town hall a yesterday focusing on.

the blue collar worker his blue collar roots and a focusing on thosee white blue collar voters anand that did not go for hillay clinton in the midwest. inn general back inn twenty sixteen. because of an earlier week two men were i very much. on the country his. votes tell us more. yes ththere is a big batattle fr at d.. a. american and hispanic voters and donald trump was in nevada and arizona to states with a large- with tino population joe biden was in florida his first campaign trip in florida to try to. the voters but of course hispanics aren't very diverse- in in thehe united states there are very different groups so that donald trump was focusing on at arizona and nevada because- does l latino voters tend to bea little bit. more to the center

of the political spectrum a lot of them voting for democrats were forced in arizona close to the boborder to mexico so immigration is a very big issue for them on the other hand joe bibiden went to a florida becaue he- is sleeping among latino voters especially among. cuban american voters school and make up the largest latino groups in florida florida where latinos make up 25% of the population so joe biden was trying to. catch up with the cuban americans who are traditionally of course because of history and because of the situation in cuba they're traditionally very conservative and tend to vote republican a bunch of vitamin was also focusing on another very large latino group in florida at the porter ricans. as he's focusing on at them because he's trying to encounter the loss with the cubans with those p porter ricas wore a traditionally more-

moderarad more i it's t to the t andd he did it focus on one thing donald trump's handling of hurricane maria back in twenty is seveventeen. and when at that hurricane devastated the island of a porter rico and the portrter ricicans are goingo be key because earlier in his press conference- donald trump announced a huge historic investmement. into t the islandf timing and that really does-s- fall within in joe biden's a campaign's focus on at that demographic so both men battling it out for the puerto ricans battling it out for hispanics overall in the u. s. okay because of an ankle just on. in washington dc thank you very much. okay it's time now for a look at the day's top business news a- because who joe me here in the city emperor was taught with the late in n a- running. between the us and china over contlil of some of the world's most popular apps
