President Trump sought to boost his position in the battleground state of Florida by reaching out to seniors, while rival Joe Biden blasted Trump's response to the pandemic on a tour of the swing state of Michigan
MACON, Ga./DETROIT - U.S. President Donald Trump sought to boost his standing in the battleground state of Florida on Friday by reaching out to seniors, while rival Joe Biden blasted Trump’s response to the coronavirus pandemic on a tour of the swing state of Michigan.
Trump and the Republican National Committee raised some $247.8 million in September, his campaign manager said on Twitter, well behind the $383 million haul of Biden and the Democratic Party. Biden, a Democrat, has shown strength with senior voters, many of whom have faulted Trump for his response to the health crisis. Biden has lambasted Trump for often playing down the seriousness of the crisis, and has knocked the administration for seeking to dismantle the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare.“If I have the honor of becoming your president, we’ll build on the Affordable Care Act, no matter what they do,” Biden said at an event in Michigan.
U.S. presidential elections are determined by electoral votes, allotted to U.S. states and territories based largely on their populations, rather than a tally of the popular vote nationwide. Michigan and Georgia each have 16 electoral votes.Biden’s campaign said former President Barack Obama would travel to Philadelphia next week to campaign on his former vice president’s behalf.“Oh, I got an emergency call today.
