Arizona
Latino voters are crucial in Arizona, where Trump won its 11 electoral votes by almost 4 percentage points in 2016.
The state is known as a conservative stronghold and has voted in favour of the Republicans in the last five presidential elections.
However, the state in 2018 elected a Democratic senator amid rapid growth in Maricopa County, which contains Phoenix, and a shift in suburban voters toward the Democrats.
Latinos, who constitute the Democratic base in the state, have grown from a quarter of the population to a third in the past two decades.
Biden has seen his edge with Latinos shrink as Republicans have focused heavily on the state, while Trump has come under fire for his administration's halting response to the coronavirus pandemic, which has disproportionately harmed minority groups.
