While it’s been a volatile year in America, the race between President Trump and Democrat Joe Biden has been remarkably consistent. But both campaigns are braced for sudden changes in the handful of states likely to decide the election.

Democratic presidential candidate former Vice President Joe Biden talks with union leaders after taking photographs outside the AFL-CIO headquarters in Harrisburg, Pa., Monday, Sept. 7, 2020.

. It’s unclear how well his rhetoric will resonate, but Democrats insist it can’t be ignored, especially in the upper Midwest.That’s especially true in Minnesota, a state that hasn’t voted for a Republican presidential candidate since 1972. Democrats there say they’re increasingly concerned that the state is genuinely in play this year.

Beyond Florida, recent polls suggest close races in Pennsylvania and North Carolina, while a Fox News poll conducted after the recent national conventions gave Biden an advantage in Wisconsin. Polls conducted earlier in the summer also suggested a Biden lead in Michigan, though no polling has been conducted there since the conventions. Another post-convention Fox News poll found a Biden advantage in Arizona.

Republicans claim another practical advantage on the ground: People. Trump’s team has thousands of paid staff and volunteers across the country courting voters face-to-face, while Democrats are still conducting their canvassing efforts almost exclusively by phone and online. The balance for Democrats between embracing the Black Lives Matter movement and criticizing violence aimed at police is particularly sensitive in Wisconsin. The state has emerged as a center of the nation’s civil unrest following the recent police shooting of Jacob Blake, a Black man, in Kenosha and subsequent protests that sometimes became destructive.

On Tuesday, Trump visited Winston-Salem, North Carolina, a top battleground state that became the nation’s first to send absentee ballots to voters late last week.

I can't believe this is still even in question. Our citizens have proven they are too stupid to govern themselves

Joe Biden can barely read the teleprompter. I doubt he is charging anywhere. Next will be dodging debates then refusing to concede due to “cheating” even though Trump has warned about universal mail-in ballots. Mark my words

Voting Trump here!

Is this an op-Ed piece? What has Joe Biden been consistent on? Mediocrity? So many missed opportunities. Dems have several good candidates and they chose the old white guy? Biden/Harris have pandered to the fringes on the left and it may cost them the election.

Increased by numbers question why they should validate either ticket. Add to that doubts about the integrity of the voting process and expectations for a national drama that will not render economic benefit. Neither ticket deserves a mandate; high non-participation is a mandate.

_Politics Race has been consistent. MSM says 'TRUMP BAD'. MSM says 'Biden is nice guy'. Truth be told: Trump2020 BidenLies

Hope Biden is ready🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

🙏✌🏼❤️🇺🇸👍🏼🎩

Trump is NOT law & order. He IS CORRUPTION. Associates indicted or found guilty: ▪︎ DeJoy? ▪︎ Bannon ▪︎ Cohen ▪︎ Manafort ▪︎ Rick Gates ▪︎ Roger Stone ▪︎ Michael Flynn Vote early to remove Trump, McConnell, Jordan, etc. Do not let them silence your vote.
