LANDSDOWNE, PA - NOVEMBER 01: Caleb Malchik, 27, holds pamphlets stating "ELECTION DAY IS TUESDAY NOV. 3 VOTE" while canvassing for labor union Unite Here! in support of Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden on the penultimate day before the general election on November 1, 2020 in Landsdowne, Pennsylvania. Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, who is originally from Scranton, Pennsylvania, remains ahead of President Donald Trump by about six points, according to a recent mean of polls. With the election only two days away, Trump held four rallies across Pennsylvania yesterday, as he vies to recapture the Keystone State's vital 20 electoral votes. In 2016, he carried Pennsylvania by only 44,292 votes out of more than 6 million cast, less than a 1 percent differential, becoming the first Republican to claim victory here since 1988.
