Chris Christie and Rahm Emanuel discuss the election homestretch

Powerhouse Players Gov. Chris Christie and Mayor Rahm Emanuel discuss the final weeks of the 2020 election on "This Week."

With a steady polling lead, a massive cash advantage and only nine days left to spend it, should Joe Biden go big or should he play it safe, following the hard-learned lessons of 2016?

In the final weeks of the general election, the Biden campaign has kept a steady focus on their six core battleground states of Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Arizona, North Carolina and Florida -- all states Hillary Clinton lost in 2016. That focus is expected to continue as Election Day draws closer.

Biden's campaign is entering the home stretch in a position to spend, compared to President Donald Trump and the Republican Party, which burned through $1.4 billion of the more than $1.6 billion raised over the last two years.

The former vice president's campaign reported having $162 million in cash on hand by mid-October -- nearly four times the $43 million in cash on hand the Trump campaign reported. Overall, Biden and the Democratic party report having $331 million in cash on hand by Oct 14, compared to Trump and the GOP's $223.5 million.

The cash advantage is not lost on Biden's team.
