Biden, Harris head to Georgia and Texas with just days to go until the election

Source: Yahoo News

Four years ago, President Trump won Georgia by 5 points, but all signs point to a tight race in a state that hasn’t voted Democrat in a presidential race since 1992. On Monday morning, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution released a new poll showing Biden with a 1-point lead, following multiple polls that showed a tied race.

The former vice president is set to visit Warm Springs, where former President Franklin D. Roosevelt owned a private retreat, on Tuesday. According to Biden’s campaign, his remarks will touch upon “bringing Americans together to address the crises facing our nation.” Throughout his campaign, Biden has referenced Roosevelt and the challenges he faced upon entering office during the Great Depression.

“Nearly a century ago, Franklin Roosevelt pledged a New Deal in a time of massive unemployment, uncertainty, and fear,” Biden said during his acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention in August. “Stricken by disease, stricken by a virus, FDR insisted that he would recover and prevail, and he believed America could as well. And he did. And so can we.”

Following the event in the small West Georgia town, Biden will hold a drive-in event in Atlanta, where Democrats hope to continue their recent successes in the city and its surrounding suburbs. The Trump campaign is hoping to wring more votes out of the state’s whiter and more rural areas.

finite resources. Why aren't the Democrats running of this? Trump is allowing the virus to grow at such a rate, it will cost seniors their lives.

Why would any senior vote for Trump after learning this?
