With 10 days to go until Election Day, and President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden racing toward Nov. 3, voters have turned out in record numbers to cast their ballots early.
More than 57.4 million Americans have already voted in the 2020 election, reflecting an extraordinary level of participation and interest despite unprecedented barriers brought on by the coronavirus pandemic.
In the final weeks of campaigning, the president has remained on defense as polls show him trailing nationally and in several battleground states key to his reelection hopes. He has three rallies across battleground states Saturday -- in North Carolina, Ohio and Wisconsin.
Biden, maintaining a lead in national polls -- his largest of the election, according to FiveThirtyEight's average -- has deployed his top surrogate, former President Barack Obama, to stump for him in Miami Saturday.
Polls indicate a huge pre-Election-Day edge for Biden and a sizable Trump advantage among those who plan to vote on Nov. 3. Trump has sowed doubt in the mail-in ballot process -- and imminent election results -- for months.
All 50 states plus Washington, D.C., have some form of early voting underway. Check out FiveThirtyEight’s guide to voting during the COVID-19 pandemic here.

Biden then turned to attack President Donald Trump's response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
"Yesterday while he is telling us everything is alright, we saw the highest number -- 85,000 new cases in one day," Biden said.
At a Friday night rally, Trump told his supporters the virus is "going away."
Biden warned of a "dark winter ahead unless we change our ways."
"All because this president cares more about the stock market than he does you," Biden said.
Bucks County is a perennial battleground in the swing state, carried by President Obama by less than 4,000 votes in 2012. In 2016, Trump lost the county by less than 1%.
