Joe Biden to go on the road again as poll lead shrinks

With his poll lead narrowing, Joe Biden is ready to campaign in person after months of being hunkered down in his Delaware basement because of the coronavirus pandemic. The former vice-president will go on the road after the September 7 Labour Day public holiday in the US. No itinerary has been set, but Mr Biden is expected to visit key swing states including Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania. Urban unrest and an aggressive performance by Donald Trump at last week’s Republican National Convention have cut Mr Biden’s lead by several points. According to Morning Consult, Mr Biden now has a six-point lead over the president, compared with 10 points before the Republican convention. Other polls have shown Mr Trump edging into the lead in two pivotal states: Michigan and Wisconsin.
