Trump barnstorms three mass rallies in swing state Pennsylvania, Democratic opponent Biden makes surprise appearance to defend lead. Read more at straitstimes.com.

MARTINSBURG - President Donald Trump on Monday barnstormed Pennsylvania with three mass rallies Monday and his Democratic opponent also made a surprise appearance, hoping to defend his lead in a swing state that could well decide the outcome of the election in eight days.

Trump touted a poll from Rasmussen, which has long gone against the flow of more established polling companies to give him favourable numbers, and said many"hidden Trump voters" would back him in the polling booth on November 3. "He said we're not going to control it. The bottom line is Donald Trump is the worst possible president, the worst possible person to try to lead us through this pandemic," Biden said.

"The same thing is happening," he said:"a similar result and maybe even a bigger margin." Trump's message largely ignored the Covid-19 crisis, with infections surging nationwide, and instead focused on what he said would be a strong economic comeback. And the former reality television performer showed his talent as entertainer with a series of exaggerated and colourful warnings about life under a Democratic presidency.

But many days he is hunkered down at home doing online video talks or sending allies like popular former president Barack Obama to campaign on his behalf - making him the most lightly travelled presidential candidate in recent history.
