President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden are racing toward Election Day with Biden in Pennsylvania and Trump Michigan, Iowa, North Carolina, Georgia and Florida on Sunday.

Vice President Mike Pence is in North Carolina and Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., is in Georgia and North Carolina.

In the season's final ABC News/Washington Post polls, the pandemic versus the economy defines the presidential contest in two key battlegrounds, with Florida holding firm to its toss-up status while Biden leads slightly in Pennsylvania.

There's little change in either state. In Florida, Donald Trump has 50% support among likely voters to Biden's 48%; it was 51%-47% in an ABC/Post poll Sept. 20. Trump won the state by 112,911 votes out of more than 9.4 million cast in 2016.

In Pennsylvania, the race stands at 51%-44%, Biden-Trump, a 7-point advantage for the Democrat; that compares with a 9-point margin late last month. Here, Trump's 2016 win was even narrower: 44,292 votes out of nearly 6.2 million cast.

Philadelphia prepares for 'avalanche' of mail-in ballots

The Philadelphia Convention Center will become the center of election activity in the city on Tuesday at 7 a.m., as hundreds of election officials start working to process hundreds of thousands of mail-in ballots.

Their work in Pennsylvania's largest city -- a key Democratic stronghold -- could be crucial to determining who wins the battleground state next week, and with it, the White House.

Under pressure to work quickly, officials are also being squeezed by the calendar, after Republicans in control of the state legislature opted not to allow counties to begin processing mail-in ballots before the election, as is the case in most other states.

That abridged timeline, the potential for legal challenges and the sheer volume of mail in ballots in Pennsylvania -- which is allowing voting by mail for the first time this year -- could complicate a ballot count that is expected to continue until Friday, according to the state's top election official.
