Biden, Trump Continue Battle in Swing States

Steve Herman

   MIRAMAR, FLORIDA - Former Vice President Joe Biden took his campaign to
   a county in Floridahe calledcrucial for victory in the presidential
   election just three weeks away.

   Broward County, the second most populous in the state,is "where this
   election will be determined," BidensaidTuesday afternoonatasenior
   citizens' center inPembrookPines.

   In 2016, Democratic Party nominee Hillary Clinton defeatedDonaldTrump
   by a 2-to-1 margin in the county. But the Republican candidate edged
   her out in the state total to capture all of Florida's 29 electoral
   votes, helping him to become president.

   On Monday,Trumpheld a large rally at an airport inFlorida'sSeminole
   County, which he won four years ago by less than 4,000 votes.It washis
   first political event since his hospitalization for COVID-19.

   The president took his re-election campaign on Tuesday eveningto what
   political analysts consider the other keybattleground state:
   Pennsylvania, where Biden was born.

   Trump in Johnstown appealed to "suburban women -- will you please like
   me? Please, please.I saved your damn neighborhood. OK?"

   TrumpaccusedBiden of being a "servant of the radical globalists,
   wealthy donors and big money special interests" who shipped away jobs,
   shut factories, threw open borders and ravaged America's cities.

   As he did the previous evening in Florida, the president accused his
   challenger of handing control of the Democratic Party to the farleft,
   includingsocialists and Marxists.

   "If he was a nice guy, I wouldn't hit him like this," said Trump."But
   he's not a nice guy. He's a bad guy. He's always been a dummy."
