U.S. President Donald Trump and his Democratic rival Joe Biden are making their final pitches in the final week ahead of the November 3rd Election Day.
And their focus is clear,... Trump the economy.
Biden COVID-19.
As they duke it out, a record number of Americans have already voted early.
Lee Kyung-eun reports.
Just a week to go until Election Day,... Joe Biden targets a new state Georgia in a bid to turn the traditional conservative stronghold "blue".
In light of some polling, the Biden campaign believe they can secure the first Democratic victory in the state since 1992.
Holding drive-in rallies or speaking to socially-distant crowds,... the former vice president's focus has been consistent COVID-19.
"Each of us can be healed. That as a people and a country, we can overcome this devastating virus. That we can heal a suffering world. And, yes, we can restore our soul and save our country."
Biden made comments amid a rapid resurgence of the virus in the U.S. and the outbreak affecting Vice President Mike Pence's staff.
He also attacked President Trump following his chief of staff saying they are not going to try and control the pandemic.
"It's a waving of a white flag. It's a window into the shocking truth about this White House that they've never really tried."
In the meantime, President Trump, is campaigning in three swing states Michigan, Wisconsin and Nebraska.
Speaking in Lansing, Michigan, on Tuesday he focused on the economy, touting his administration's achievements.
"....we and this administration has been able to do with regulations, with taxes, with rebuilding our military, with strengthening our borders."
And he also targeted Biden, saying this election is a matter of economic survival for Michigan.
"If he gets in, he's going to raise your taxes at a level that nobody's ever seen. He is the first candidate I've ever seen who is running on a promise that I will raise your taxes."
While the two candidates' battle it out, a record of more than 66 million Americans have already voted,.. nearly 20 million higher than the early voter turnout seen in 2016.
