Biden and Trump in tug-of-war over Midwestern US
In your final burst of campaigning, US President Donald Trump and his Democratic challenger Joe Biden have criss-crossed Midwestern states that may contain the keys to the White House.
Mr Biden continued the offensive in Iowa, circumstances that voted for Mr Trump by 10 points in 2016.
Mr Trump made a play for Minnesota, which voted narrowly for Hillary Clinton four years back.
Mr Biden holds a solid national lead ahead of Tuesday's general election.
But his advantage over Mr Trump is narrower in the couple of US states that could vote for either prospect and ultimately decide the outcome in four days' time.
A lot more than 85 million persons have voted early, 55 million of them by post, setting the united states on course for its biggest voter turnout in over a hundred years.
The Democrat has taken a more measured pace to campaigning than his rival, spending much of the election cycle at his home in Wilmington, Delaware, citing coronavirus restrictions.
But on Friday he sprinted through Iowa, Wisconsin and Minnesota on his busiest day yet.
When Mr Biden was last in Iowa, in January, his presidential campaign was in serious jeopardy after he was defeated in a celebration vote to choose the Democratic challenger to Mr Trump.
Now Mr Biden could be days from becoming the 46th president of america.
He made a 22-minute appearance at a drive-in event in a car park outside the Minnesota State Fairgrounds.
But a throng of Trump supporters resulted in and tried to drown him out by honking their horns during his speech.
"These guys aren't very polite, but they're like Trump," Mr Biden said.
He was interrupted again later in the speech while urging a national mask-wearing mandate to counter coronavirus.
"This is not a political statement like those ugly folks over there beeping their horns," Mr Biden snapped, eliciting a renewed cacophony of vehicular horns.
