Florida voters head to the polls in a must-win swing state for President Donald Trump
Показать описание
President Donald Trump and Democratic nominee Joe Biden both did their best to energize and mobilize supporters to vote Thursday in key areas of must-win Florida.
Biden held a drive-in rally in Coconut Creek, outside Ft. Lauderdale, and he was scheduled to hold a rally later in the day in Tampa. He appealed to Hispanic voters, part of a broader push to shore up support among this important demographic group.
Biden also pledged to create a federal task force “on day one” dedicated to reuniting 545 children separated from their parents by immigration authorities at the Southern border, but whose parents have yet to be located.
Trump held a competing rally in Tampa on Thursday, where he also appealed to Hispanic voters. The president tried to tie Biden to the left wing of the Democratic party and said “America will never be a socialist country.”
“Biden’s agenda will devastate the Hispanic American community,” Trump claimed, hinting at Biden’s economic plan, which would raise taxes on those making more than $400,000 a year.
Biden has repeatedly responded to Trump’s attacks by reminding voters he is the nominee because he beat candidates further to the left, such as Sen. Bernie Sanders, a democratic socialist.
Polls show Trump and Biden virtually tied in Florida, with Biden leading by an average of 1.4 points.
