[Asia Economy New York=Correspondent Baek Jong-min] On the 2nd (local time), one day before the presidential election, President Donald Trump, campaigning in five states, appealed for support by emphasizing distrust of mail-in voting, criticism of Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden's energy policy, and backlash against the established political forces.

According to U.S. media including The Washington Post, President Trump emphasized at a rally in Scranton, Pennsylvania, in the afternoon, "Biden's ban on fracking (shale gas extraction) is a death sentence for Pennsylvania's economy."

President Trump also reiterated his claim that mail-in voting is fraudulent and that counting ballots after election day is illegal.

President Trump said, "If there is no fraud, I will win in Pennsylvania. Fraud will cost me 5% of the support." He also said, "When the Supreme Court extended (the Pennsylvania mail-in ballot counting), they created a very dangerous situation," adding, "They did a very bad thing to the country."

Earlier, at a rally held in North Carolina, President Trump defined himself as still an "outsider" to Washington politics, attempting to differentiate himself from the established political circles.

President Trump said, "If my words don't sound like a politician, it's because I am not a politician. I am fighting for the people more than any other president."

President Trump also asked, "Do you want to elect a career politician who hates you as your representative? Or do you want to elect an outsider who will defend you at a level no one else can?"

President Trump planned five rallies in four states that day, holding on to the hope of a comeback victory he experienced in the 2016 presidential election. The day before, he toured five states from the northern to the southern U.S., campaigning past midnight.
