Biden ad addresses Fauci issue:

This is exactly the sort of quick response I’ve been hoping for. Well done in all respects. There are other Trump ad opportunties waiting for a reply like this, too.

Anthony Fauci, the nation’s infectious disease expert, on Monday warned that President Trump’s campaign rallies, where social distancing and mask-wearing aren’t required, are “asking for trouble” as COVID-19 cases continue to rise.

Asked by CNN’s Jake Tapper if he is worried about the public health consequences of Trump’s rallies, Fauci replied, “We know that is asking for trouble when you do that. We’ve seen that when you have situations of congregate settings where there are a lot of people without masks, the data speak for themselves.”

“And now is even more so a worse time to do that,” he added, pointing to an increase in the percentage of tests coming back positive across the country.

In 2016, though HRC had a lead in most polls (though in late Oct here lead in PA was like 2-3%) she never broke 50%. This makes a difference, because there aren't enough undecided voters (or alleged shy Trump voters) to make a difference in the outcome.

@Redistrict
In 2016, @FiveThirtyEight's final polling average was Clinton 45.7%, Trump 41.8%. Today, it's Biden 52.2%, Trump 41.9%.

But beyond deficit, even more damning for Trump is the 5.9% undecided/3rd party share - less than half of 12.5% share four years ago. Far fewer late deciders.

First: Joe Biden’s campaign manager said, “if we win Arizona, we will win the presidency.”

Then: Arizona was moved from a ‘TOSS UP’ to ‘LEAN DEMOCRAT.’

NOW: We need to take immediate action and show we have the momentum to keep this critical battleground RED.
