President Donald Trump while addressing rallies across five swing states on Sunday said that he would defy polls yet again. With two days remaining before the November 3 US presidential election, Trump was confident of repeating his 2016 success when he came from behind to trounce Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton in the polls.

Polls across the United States show Democratic Presidential candidate Joe Biden maintaining an overall lead, with race in key swing states like Pennsylvania and Florida going down to the wire, according to RealClearPolitics average of polls.

Trump while addressing the final stretch of campaign rallies in Washington Township, Michigan insisted, “We’re now leading.”

“Look, we’re leading in Florida. We’re leading in Georgia… They say it’s a very close race in Texas. I don’t think so. They did that four years ago and I won in a landslide,” the 74-year-old added.

Trump warned citizens of Michigan that Biden had “spent 47 years outsourcing your jobs, opening your borders and sacrificing American blood and treasure in endless foreign wars.”

Democratic Presidential candidate Joe Biden began his Sunday alongside wife Jill Biden by attending Mass at their Catholic church near their home in Wilmington, Delaware. The former vice president spent his Sunday attending rallies in Pennsylvania, a key battleground state this election. Pennsylvania, which had been a traditional Democratic stronghold, flipped red in 2016, with Trump winning by a slender margin of 44,292 votes.

Addressing supporters in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the 77-year-old unloaded on the sitting President bashing his divisive rhetoric and policies.

“In two days, we can put an end to a president that failed to protect the nation, fanned the flames of hate, poured gasoline on every opportunity he had all across this nation,” Biden said.

He also hit hard at Trump singling out the latter’s policies on the management of COVID-19, reminding Americans that Trump’s response was “almost criminal.”

Biden’s calculated attacks come at a time when the US is witnessing a surge in coronavirus cases with the country recording more than 100,000 COVID-19 cases in a day. Biden added that with Trump at the helm, 1000 Americans were dying daily due to coronavirus.

The President, however, has junked all accusations of mismanagement labelled at him over his handling of the coronavirus pandemic, he even suggested that doctors in the US “get more money and hospitals get more money” for each COVID-19 death.

Trump also continued his extraordinarily open conflict with Dr.Anthony Fauci, with the latter saying in a Washington Post interview that without “an abrupt change” in the country’s public health policies, Americans would face, “a whole lot of hurt ahead.”

Fauci however praised the Biden campaign over its following of public health guidelines and due diligence to social distancing.

Fauci’s remarks triggered a backlash as White House spokesperson Judd Deere called Fauci’s reaction “unacceptable”, stating “to choose three days before an election to play politics.”

Biden campaign adviser Anita Dunn struck a positive note in an interview with ABC, saying, “We’re going to know on Election Day that a record number of people have probably turned out to vote in this election because they want change.”

She added, “They want a leader who is going to unite the country, not divide it.”

Trump had an exhausting Sunday schedule as the Republican nominee addressed rallies in four key midwestern states of Michigan, Iowa, North Carolina and Georgia, ending his day with a 11.00 pm rally in Florida.

Trump campaign adviser Jason Miller told ABC that Trump would sweep the Southern states and would just need one of four key Midwestern states — Pennsylvania, Minnesota, Wisconsin or Michigan — to “be re-elected president.”
