During a rally in Georgia, the US president branded rival Joe Biden “the worst in history” despite a number polls putting the Democrat in a double digit lead

Donald Trump joked he would need to leave the country if he loses the presidential election against Joe Biden – just as he continues to trail in polls.

The US president made the comments during a rally in Georgia as he tried to fire up supporters despite Democrat candidate Joe Biden maintaining a double digit lead with weeks to go.

The Republican president was 11 points behind Biden in a major poll on Thursday while another survey showed Trump three points behind Biden in battleground Florida.

However polls in 2016 were notoriously wrong when they predicted a Hillary Clinton victory that never came.

The two men are focusing their campaigns on the closely-fought states that are expected to determine the winner
of the November 3 election.

With 18 days to go, a record 23 million Americans have already voted in the fiercely contested and bitter campaign.
