Trump vs. Biden: What are their best swing-state strategies?
Six states are pivotal to winning the White House. Campaign strategist John Thomas breaks down the key factors.
With the November election less than three weeks away and millions of Americans already casting their ballots, President Trump and Democratic rival Joe Biden will make one of their final appeals to voters during dueling town halls on Thursday night.
The two will participate in competing town halls in different cities on different networks: Trump on NBC from Miami and Biden on ABC from Philadelphia. The second presidential debate was originally scheduled for Thursday night, but Trump backed out last week when debate organizers announced the forum would be virtual following the president's positive COVID-19 diagnosis.
On Saturday, Trump's physician, Dr. Sean Conley, said the president has been cleared to return to an active schedule and has met criteria from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to end isolation. The president returned to the campaign trail on Monday.
Here's what you need to know about the presidential campaigns and how they'll be spending Thursday, Oct. 15, 2020, just 20 days away from the election.
President Trump
Trump will be interviewed by FOX Business' Stuart Varney at 10 a.m. ET from the White House.
From there, the president is slated to travel to the battleground state of North Carolina for an afternoon rally in Greenville. Once that concludes, Trump is scheduled to leave for Miami, where he'll hold a closed-door fundraising event at the Trump National Doral Miami.
The NBC town hall event, held at the Perez Art Museum, is scheduled to begin at 8 p.m. ET. The event will take place outdoors and will be moderated by Savannah Guthrie.
An aggregate of polls by RealClearPolitics shows Biden leading by 3.3 percentage points in North Carolina.
