PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — Two days to go until Election Day and it all comes down to a handful of key swing states, Pennsylvania being one.
Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden came to Philadelphia Sunday for a pair of campaign events, after a rally in Michigan Saturday with former President Barack Obama. Obama stressed the importance of this election.
"Three days until the most important election of our lifetimes, and that includes mine, which was pretty important," he said.
Biden's first stop in our area was Wynnefield Heights, where the former vice president told a crowd of supporters at Sharon Baptist Church there is too much at stake in Pennsylvania not to vote.
"There's still a lot of Pennsylvanians (who) haven't voted yet, and we need every single one of you to get out and vote on Tuesday. My message is simple: Pennsylvania is critical in this election," he appealed.
Biden was scheduled to appear at a rally at FDR Park in South Philadelphia later that day.

President Donald Trump criss-crossed five different states Sunday, including Michigan.
"Over the last four years, I fought for Michigan like no one has ever fought for Michigan. Before I became president, the great state of Michigan was hemorrhaging your car companies and your car businesses," said Trump.
On Face the Nation Sunday, CBS News Director of Elections and Surveys Anthony Salvanto explained which battleground states could hold the key to determining the election.
"The ones right off the top are Florida, which is very, very important to the president's path, and Pennsylvania, which is important to Joe Biden's path if he's going to hang on to the states in the upper midwest," he explained.
Salvanto also said CBS News polling showed Biden leading the race by a slim margin.
"Our baseline Battleground Tracker model from all 50 states adds up to a narrow electoral college lead for Joe Biden. Now remember, it's the electoral college, not a national vote, that decides the presidency," he said.
But Salvanto stressed an Election Day surge of Republican voters could change things.
