离选举日还有四天，唐纳德·特朗普总统和前副总统乔·拜登将于11月3日竞选，8200多万美国人已经已经投票了-提前投票记录。
周五，特朗普和拜登都来到了明尼苏达州和威斯康星州，揭示了这两个州对双方竞选活动的重要性，这场竞争被冠状病毒病例上升几乎在每个战场州。
总统咄咄逼人的防御战略——访问他在2016年赢得的州，包括今天下午在密歇根的第一站——正值民调显示他在全国和地区落后之际摇摆州他连任希望的关键。副总统迈克·彭斯返回亚利桑那州，在弗拉格斯塔夫和图森参加两次集会。
拜登将迎来大选以来最繁忙的一天。在爱荷华州停留后，这也是这位前副总统第一次计划在一天内为2020年的周期在三个州进行竞选。竞选伙伴加州参议员卡马拉·哈里斯(Kamala Harris)在德克萨斯州，民主党人在进攻，并感觉到40多年来第一次有机会夺取共和党的大本营。
拜登在大流行问题上攻击特朗普，贸易是威斯康辛州的最后一站
前副总统乔·拜登(Joe Biden)在密尔沃基的一个机场吊架上，在几十人面前发表了一场社会距离的演讲，结束了他在中西部的竞选之旅，几个小时前，唐纳德·特朗普(Donald Trump)总统在这个战场州停留。
拜登谈到了全国范围内，特别是威斯康星州的新冠肺炎病例数量不断增加，威斯康星州正面临该国增长最快的新冠肺炎疫情之一，并在讲话中重复了许多对特朗普处理疫情的熟悉批评。
“我知道这很难。超过225，000人，我想就在我说话的时候是229[，000]，已经在新冠肺炎失去了他们的生命。威斯康辛州有2000人。密尔沃基县有600人。本周，威斯康辛州和其他州一样，创下了每日病例的新纪录。医院床位不足。只需要打开一个野战医院。这就是我们面临的，”他说。
“唐纳德·特朗普挥舞着白旗，向病毒投降，”他继续说道。“但是美国人民不放弃。我们不会屈服。不像唐纳德·特朗普，我们不会向这种病毒投降。我们根本不会投降。”

拜登还在贸易问题上追随着特朗普，称他的政策是“一场灾难”，彻底摧毁了威斯康星州的乳制品行业。
这位候选人表示，他的竞选团队在威斯康辛州采取了与2016年希拉里·克林顿不同的方式。
“出于很多原因，并非所有原因都是她的错，我们最终没有把它看得太重。我们认为这是不同的，”拜登说，并补充道，“我已经在这里很多次了。”
这标志着拜登自民主党全国代表大会以来第三次访问威斯康星州，这是他第四次访问最多的州，仅次于宾夕法尼亚州、密歇根州和佛罗里达州。
与拜登周五的免下车集会不同，他在威斯康星州的讲话是在露天机场机库发表的。在威斯康星州一个接近冰点的夜晚，该活动至少部分在户外举行。
“我告诉你吧，他们告诉我会在室内。拜登说:“在密尔沃基，你们是一群顽强的人。
特朗普在明尼苏达州当晚的最后一场集会上只讲了21分钟
特朗普总统倾向于在集会上发言一个多小时，这显然让他很恼火，他在明尼苏达州的最后一次集会上，向聚集在外面40度天气下的250名支持者发表了21分钟的单调演讲。
没有了总统通常赖以为生的大量喧闹的人群，特朗普迅速完成了他准备好的演讲，并在太阳落山时坚持使用提示器。
根据州政府的规定，户外集会最多只能有250人，只要能保持社交距离。特朗普一上台，就为有限的人群攻击明尼苏达州州长蒂姆·瓦尔兹(Tim Walz)和明尼苏达州司法部长基思·埃里森(Keith Ellison)。
特朗普说:“众所周知，今晚至少有25，000人想在这里。”“你们的极左翼民主党司法部长基思·埃里森和你们的民主党州长试图关闭我们的集会，让明尼苏达州人民保持沉默，剥夺你们的自由和权利。”

2020年10月30日，明尼苏达州罗切斯特市罗切斯特国际机场，唐纳德·特朗普总统在竞选集会上向支持者发表讲话。
特朗普在明尼苏达州集会前对拥挤的人群发表了讲话，并向这些支持者发表了讲话。“我要感谢外面成千上万被激进的民主党人禁止进入的人，”他说。
总统随后继续攻击埃里森和前副总统乔·拜登，声称“他们想把你关在家里，同时让无政府主义者、煽动者和破坏分子在摧毁你的城市和州的时候自由游荡。”
但在11月3日，他继续说道，“我们国家的人民将前所未有地被倾听。已经开始了。人们已经开始了解发生了什么。因为他们将以创纪录的数量出现并投票，你已经开始看到发生了什么，他们变得非常担心。”
在意外结束之前，在2016年选举中输掉明尼苏达州的特朗普考虑了他当时可以做些什么来赢得该州。
“还有一站。我应该再来一次，就一次，”他说。“但是你知道吗?这并不重要，因为我们将在11月3日取得更大的胜利。”
彭斯在亚利桑那州最后一站称拜登为进步民主党的“特洛伊木马”
副总统迈克·彭斯以在图森的一次集会结束了他在亚利桑那州的一天，他告诉聚集在图森国际机场停机坪上的大约500人，在特朗普的总统任期内，“再过四天，这将是四年”。

2020年10月30日，在图森国际机场的竞选集会上，副总统迈克·彭斯在彭斯发言后给了参议员玛莎·麦克萨利一拳。
除了他标准的政治演说外，彭斯还提到了最近来自政治的报道伊丽莎白·沃伦和伯尼·桑德斯有兴趣加入乔·拜登的内阁，利用这一点来推进他的论点，即拜登只会成为进步民主党的“特洛伊木马”。
“乔·拜登对激进左翼来说只不过是一个特洛伊木马，”他说。“我的意思是，他们已经在谈论内阁任命。也许你读到过。我听说伯尼·桑德斯和伊丽莎白·沃伦希望加入内阁，并将美国的政策推向左翼。”
彭斯还批评参议员卡马拉·哈里斯投票反对唐纳德·特朗普总统美国管理认证协会贸易协议指责他的对手将她的“激进的环境议程”放在首位。
“卡玛拉·哈里斯是仅有的10名投票反对美国管理认证协会的参议员之一。她说这还不足以解决气候变化问题。我的意思是，亚利桑那州，你应该知道乔·拜登的竞选伙伴把她的激进环境议程放在亚利桑那州的工作和美国工人之前，”他说。
特朗普批评明尼苏达州州长限制人群规模
唐纳德·特朗普总统在明尼苏达州罗切斯特举行当天的最后一次集会之前，参观了基本上没有面具的人群，这可能比集会本身的人群还要多。
他对记者说，他继续抨击州长蒂姆·瓦尔兹(Tim Walz)，称他将人群规模限制在250人是“耻辱”，并说他是一个“软弱的州长”，做了“糟糕的工作”。

“成千上万的人因此受伤，”他说。“他们花了几个小时，甚至几天——几天。你有25，000人。太丢人了。”
他补充说，“所以我们要回去和250个人谈谈。”
Election 2020 updates: Trump ends long day rushing through final rally in Minnesota
With four days until Election Day, and President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden racing toward Nov. 3, more than 82 million Americans havealready cast their ballots-- an early voting record.
Friday brings both Trump and Biden to Minnesota and Wisconsin, revealing how crucial the states are to both campaigns, with the contest overshadowed bycoronavirus cases risingthere and in nearly every battleground state.
The president's aggressive, defensive strategy -- visiting states he won in 2016 including a first stop in Michigan this afternoon -- comes as polls show him trailing nationally and inswing stateskey to his reelection hopes. Vice President Mike Pence returns to Arizona for a pair of rallies in Flagstaff and Tucson.
Biden will see his busiest travel day to date of the general election. With a stop in Iowa, too, it's the first time the former vice president has made plans to campaign in three states in one day for the 2020 cycle. Running mate California Sen. Kamala Harris is in Texas as Democrats play offense and sense an opportunity to snatch the GOP-stronghold for the first time in more than four decades.
Biden attacks Trump on the pandemic, trade at final Wisconsin stop
Former Vice President Joe Biden wrapped up his campaign swing through the Midwest with a socially distant speech in front of just a few dozen people in an airport hanger in Milwaukee, a few hours after President Donald Trump stopped in the battleground state.
Biden remarked on the rising number of COVID-19 cases nationally and in Wisconsin specifically, which is facing one of the fastest-growing outbreaks of COVID-19 in the country, and repeated many familiar criticisms of Trump's handling of the pandemic throughout his remarks.
"I know it's hard. More than 225,000 people, I think it's 229[,000] as I speak, have already lost their lives to COVID-19. Two thousand here in Wisconsin. Six hundred here in Milwaukee County. This week, Wisconsin, like other states, set a new record for daily cases. Hospitals are running short on beds. Just had to open afield hospital. That's what we're facing," he said.
"Donald Trump waved the white flag, surrendered to the virus," he continued. "But the American people don't give up. We don't give in. Unlike Donald Trump, we're not gonna surrender to this virus. We are simply not going to surrender."
Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden gives a fist bump to Rep. Gwen Moore, D-Wis., as he arrives to speak at Milwaukee Mitchell International Airport on Oct. 30, 2020, in Milwaukee.
Biden also went after Trump on trade, calling his policy "a disaster" that "decimated" the Wisconsin dairy industry.
The candidate said his campaign is taking a different approach to Wisconsin than Hillary Clinton did in 2016.
"For a whole lot of reasons, not all of which were her fault, we ended up not taking it too seriously. We thought it was different," Biden said, adding, "I've been here a lot."
This marks Biden's third trip to Wisconsin since the Democratic National Convention, making it his fourth-most-visited state, behind Pennsylvania, Michigan and Florida.
Unlike Biden's drive-in rallies on Friday, his remarks in Wisconsin were given in an open-air airport hangar. The event was held at least partially outdoors on a near-freezing Wisconsin evening.
"I'll tell you what, they told me it's gonna be indoors. You're a hardy bunch in Milwaukee," Biden said.
Trump speaks for just 21 minutes at final rally of the night in Minnesota
Prone to speaking for over an hour at rallies, a clearly annoyed President Trump delivered a monotone speech for just 21 minutes to 250 supporters gathered outside in 40-degree weather at his final rally of the night in Minnesota.
Without the large, raucous crowd that the president typically feeds off of, Trump sped through his prepared remarks and stuck to the prompter as the sun set behind him.
Per state guidelines, the outdoor rally was limited to 250 people max, so long as social distancing could be maintained. As soon as he stepped on stage, Trump attacked Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison for the limited crowd.
"As you know, there are at least 25,000 people who wanted to be here tonight," Trump said. "Your far-left Democrat Attorney General Keith Ellison and your Democrat governor tried to shut down our rally, silence the people of Minnesota and take away your freedom and your rights."

Trump, who spoke to an overflow crowd prior to the Minnesota rally, addressed those supporters."I want to thank the thousands of people outside who were barred from entry by radical Democrats," he said.
The president then continued to attack Ellison, as well as former Vice President Joe Biden, claiming that "they want to imprison you in your homes while letting anarchists, agitators and vandals roam free as they destroy your cities and states."
But on Nov. 3, he continued, "The people of our nation are going to be heard like never before. It's already begun. People are already starting to find out what's happening. Because they're going to show up and vote in record numbers, and you have already started to see what's going on and they are getting very concerned."
Before unexpectedly ending, Trump, who lost Minnesota in the 2016 election, thought about what he could have done differently to win the state then.
"One more stop. I should have come one more time, just one more time," he said. "But you know what? It's not going to matter because we're going to have an even bigger victory on Nov. 3."
Pence calls Biden 'Trojan horse' for progressive Democrats at last stop in Arizona
Vice President Mike Pence wrapped up his day in Arizona with a rally in Tucson, where he told a crowd of roughly 500 gathered on the tarmac of Tucson International Airportthat in "four more days, it's going to be four more years" of a Trump presidency.

In addition to his standard stump speech, Pence mentioned recent reporting from Politico that Sens.Elizabeth WarrenandBernie Sandersare interested in joining Joe Biden's cabinet, using it to further his argument that Biden would only be a "Trojan horse" for progressive Democrats.
"Joe Biden would be nothing more than a Trojan horse for the radical left," he said. "I mean, they're already talking about cabinet appointments. Maybe you read about that. I'm hearing that Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren are looking to be on the cabinet, and drive America's policies to the left."
Pence also criticized Sen. Kamala Harris for her vote against President Donald Trump'sUSMCA trade deal, accusing his opponent of putting her "radical environmental agenda" first.
"Kamala Harris was one of only 10 members of the Senate to vote against the USMCA. She said it didn't go far enough on climate change. I mean, Arizona, you deserve to know Joe Biden's running mate put her radical environmental agenda ahead of Arizona jobs and ahead of American workers," he said.
Trumpcriticizes Minnesota governor for limiting crowd size
President Donald Trump visited the largely maskless overflow crowd, which may be larger than the crowd for the rally itself,before his last rally of the day in Rochester, Minnesota.
Speaking to reporters, he continued to blast Gov. Tim Walz, calling it a "disgrace" for him to limit the crowd size to 250 people and saying he's a "weak governor" who has done a "terrible job."

"You got thousands of people that are injured by this," he said. "They spent hours and hours, maybe even days -- a couple of days. You got 25,000 people. It’s a disgrace."
He added, "So we’re going to get back in and speak to 250 people."
