This thing is going down to the wire and then into overtime. In the Army, it could be termed “danger close” (“In close air support, artillery, mortar, and naval gunfire support fires, it is the term included in the method of engagement segment of a call for fire which indicates that friendly forces are within close proximity of the target.”).
Trump forces are indeed within close proximity. With his unheard-of for a Republican since the 1950s support from the black community and a burgeoning awareness of the threat a Biden administration would cause to the nation, voters have closed the gap and the president has momentum.

In reliable relatively non partisan polls like Rasmussen the president is within striking distance. Yes, Biden has a current edge. But it is dissipating fast. Is there enough time for the president to catch and win the Electoral College to have an advantage going into the courts?
Nowhere is the fight harder than in Pennsylvania. With its 20 Electoral College votes it’s fill or kill for both campaigns. Even the house pollster for the Democrat mouthpiece ultraliberal New York Times, Nate Silver, sees the writing on the wall, “Pennsylvania has not bumped up to a seven or eight-point Biden lead, like we see in Michigan and Wisconsin. It’s not a big early voting state, so a lot of votes have not yet been cast in Pennsylvania…Among the votes that were sent in by mail, there were some provisions about a naked ballot, a security envelope that could make things more complicated, you can have the courts involved. You have some protests, looting in Philadelphia. There’s lots of stuff going on and maybe a lot of little things add up and Biden loses Pennsylvania by half a point.”
If he does, there goes the initial part of the ballgame for the Democrats. The president knows this and is hammering Pennsylvania with media and attention.
FNC: “President Trump campaigned in Montoursville, Pa., on Saturday night, his fourth and final event of the day in the state, in the lead-up to the election and reminded the crowd of his announcement at an earlier Pennsylvania rally that he signed an order to ‘strongly protect your states fracking and energy industry.’ While campaigning in Pennsylvania, Trump capitalized on his opponent’s wish to ‘transition’ away from the oil industry telling supporters Biden would ‘abolish’ fracking. He pointed out the former vice president had flip-flopped on fracking, a major industry in the key swing state.” Nail his carcass to the wall, sir.
