Personally I don't believe a single word that comes out of the Trump camp, particularly lackeys like Jason Miller and Bill Stepien. There's no way in hell that Trump has expanded his base. If anything, his base has probably shrunk over the last 4 years, and I highly doubt he's winning over any undecideds with only 8 days to go.
I'm sure there will be a surge of GOP supporters voting in person on Nov. 3rd, which is expected. But will it be enough? Trump barely squeaked out the win in 2016 by a mere 77,000 votes in a perfect storm of unfortunate events, mostly due to Comey reopening the Clinton email investigation a week before the election. Trump basically needs an exact repeat of 2016 to win, and I honestly don't see it happening this time.
Then again, with the amount of cheating and voter suppression/intimidation currently being conducted by the GOP, a Trump victory is still possible. Especially with the Supreme Court in his back pocket.
