The Biden campaign said the former vice president plans an afternoon campaign speech in Toledo, then will head to Cincinnati for a voter mobilisation event. The president won the state over Democrat Hillary Clinton by 8 percentage points in 2016. The announcement comes as surveys show the race in Ohio close, with Mr Trump consistently trailing in key northern industrial states he won in 2016. The Trump campaign characterises Mr Biden as a latecomer to a state where its ground operation — including 28 field offices and more than 117 staff — has been active for months. “We look forward to a big win for Team Trump on November 3rd.”Mr Biden’s team has said it always had Ohio on its wish list.
