President Donald Trump is jumping from one mandatory stop on the electoral map to the next in the run-up to a final presidential debate that may be his last and best chance to alter the trajectory of the 2020 campaign.
As Democrat Joe Biden prepares for debate prep ahead of Thursday’s showdown in Nashville, Tennessee, he expects a boost from former President Barack Obama, who will hold his first in-person campaign event for Biden on Wednesday in Philadelphia.
Obama, who has grown increasingly critical of Trump in the three and a half years since he left office, will address a drive-in movie theater, where fans will listen to him on the radio inside their cars.
It comes a day after Trump, lagging behind in polls in many battle states, stopped in Pennsylvania on Tuesday. Trump was heading to North Carolina on Wednesday when he delivers what his campaign considers his final message.
“This is a choice between a Trump super recovery and a Biden slump,” the president said in Erie, Pennsylvania. “He will have a depression like never before.”
He added: “If you want depression, doom and despair, vote for Sleepy Joe. And boredom.”
