DHAKA: Republican candidate Donald Trump has said he is going to target states seen as Democratic strongholds in the last two days before the US election.

He will visit Pennsylvania, Michigan and also Minnesota, which has not gone Republican since 1972, reports the BBC.

On Saturday evening, he was briefly rushed off the stage by secret service agents at a rally in Reno, Nevada.

Trump had stopped speaking after seeing something in the auditorium, but returned to the stage minutes later.

A man was held on the ground by local law enforcement officers before being searched and led away.

When he resumed his speech, Trump said: “Nobody said it was going to be easy for us... I want to thank the Secret Service.”

Donald Trump was approaching the climax of his speech inside a packed hall in Reno when suddenly there was a commotion near the stage.

Secret service agents rushed towards the property tycoon and he was rapidly hustled from the auditorium.

For a short time there was panic among supporters of the Republican candidate with some people running for the exits amid an unconfirmed rumor of a gun in the crowd.
