Trump suggests he might fire Fauci
The president was responding to chants of "Fire Fauci" at a Florida rally.
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.

Trump presses for election results to be known on Nov. 3
Official election results likely won't be known until highly-contested states have counted all of their mail-in ballots, yet President Trump continued to press for the final results to be known on Election Day.
During a rally in Dubuque, Iowa, this afternoon, Trump insisted that a winner of the presidential election should be known on the evening Nov. 3, falsely saying "that's the way it's been."
Trump's own 2016 election victory was called around 2:30 a.m. the morning after Election Day.
Deadlines for receiving mail-in ballots also extend past Nov. 3 in several states.

When will we know the results?
This year, in addition to the burning question of “Who will win?” people are almost as eager to know, “When will we know the results?”
To help answer that, FiveThirtyEight published a comprehensive guide to following the returns on election night, including when the polls close in each state and what time we might get semi-final results.
You can walk through election night hour by hour, using the forecast as a guide to get a better understanding of just how many electoral votes might be accounted for, including how many Trump and Biden can each expect to win.
Spoiler: Unless one of them has a really good night, it’s unlikely that either will hit 270 electoral votes on election night.

Harris and Stacey Abrams talk about voter suppression
Former Democratic gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams joined Harris at her campaign event at Gwinnett County, Georgia, Sunday and warned the crowd about the potential for voter suppression.
In the highly contested 2018 governor's race, Abrams lost by less than 55,000 votes to Republican Brian Kemp, who was still working as Georgia's secretary of state. The election was stained by lawsuits and allegations of voter suppression.
Abrams said voter suppression in the state is "alive and well."
"We know that just because good is on the move doesn’t mean that bad has stopped working," she said.
Abrams told the crowd not to panic and to stay in line on Election Day in the face of possible voter intimidation.
“We're not going to panic when we see militias. We're not going to panic when people tell us that we're not going to win. We are going to work to make sure that victory is ours. Don't panic," she said.
Harris praised Abrams' work in the state to expanding voting rights.
"I'm so thankful to her for the work that she has been doing for years to fight for Georgian and the right to vote," she said.
