His campaign seems to have decided - rightfully IMO - that Biden does better the more the focus is on Trump.
We don't know what the results will be yet and it may prove that polling is catastrophically wrong, much more than 2016, or something may happen in the coming days to adjust the race.
But if Trump loses he is going to have to take a lot of the blame himself. Biden was not a great candidate but Trump's bombastic and unfocused approach to public statements, Twitter and even his first debate has harmed him. He won 2016 narrowly so needed to spend the last four years building his support whereas I think he set about losing some of it.
Of course that might be wrong and underneath the polls there was been support from elsewhere growing. We'll find out next week.
