Biden eyes Florida win as an early knockout blow to Trump
With just five days left until the election, President Trump and his rival, former Vice President Joe Biden, spent Thursday focused on the key battleground state of Florida, holding dueling rallies there.
For Trump, who is behind in numerous swing state polls, Florida increasingly looks essential to his prospects for being reelected. Biden doesn’t necessarily need Florida to win, but his allies argue that the state, whose rules for counting mail-in and absentee ballots mean results could come in relatively early, could deliver a knockout blow to Trump if Biden wins there.
Speaking to a crowd who socially distanced in about 200 cars at Broward College near Miami on Thursday, Biden was clear about the pivotal role he believes Florida could play.
“Ladies and gentlemen, the heart and soul of this country’s at stake right here in Florida,” Biden said as his audience honked in approval. “It’s up to you, you hold the key. If Florida goes blue, it’s over. It’s over.”
About 250 miles away, Trump, whose events have largely ignored social distancing guidelines, spoke to a packed crowd in one of the parking lots at Tampa’s Raymond James Stadium. The president mocked Biden as “the worst candidate in the history of presidential politics.”
