Joe Biden goes all in on rebuilding 'blue wall' in campaign closing stretch

Joe Biden is making his final stand on the "blue wall" that President Donald Trump toppled four years ago.

The Democratic presidential nominee is spending Sunday campaigning in Philadelphia. He'll speak early in the afternoon at a "Souls to the Polls" event aimed at getting Black church attendees to vote, and then hold a drive-in rally in the evening.

It comes after he spent Saturday in Michigan campaigning with former President Barack Obama, and Friday in Wisconsin, Minnesota and Iowa -- visiting a region that Hillary Clinton's campaign was accused of ignoring, only to watch several states once considered reliably Democratic slip away in Election Night stunners four year ago.

Biden's decision to focus his final days of campaigning on northern battlegrounds showed that -- while polls show him with narrow leads in other battleground states across the Sun Belt -- his campaign believes winning back enough White, working-class voters to rebuild the "blue wall" of Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin represents his clearest path to 270 electoral votes.
