Trump is expected to hit nearly a dozen states in his last-ditch effort to recover ground from Democrat Joe Biden, including Sunday's trip to Maine and Tuesday's to Nebraska. Both states award electoral votes by congressional district and could be crucial in a tight election. He will hold 11 rallies in the final 48 hours alone.
The stakes were clear this weekend as the White House became the locus for a second outbreak of the virus in a month. Several close aides to Vice-President Mike Pence tested positive for the virus, including his chief of staff, Marc Short. Pence, though, was insistent on maintaining his aggressive political calendar, even though he was deemed a "close contact" of his adviser, claiming the privileges of being an "essential employee.
Biden's team argues the coronavirus is likely to blot out any other issues that might come up in the final days of the campaign -- including Biden's recent debate-stage comment in which he affirmed he'd transition away from oil, later walked back as a transition away from federal subsidies. That strategy appeared to pay off as the outbreak in Pence's staff refocused the national conversation once again on the pandemic.
With more than a third of the expected ballots in the election already cast, it may become increasingly challenging for Trump and Biden to reshape the contours of the race. Biden is leading Trump in most national polls and has an advantage, though narrower, in many key battlegrounds. "Those dual messages -- continuing to draw a contrast with Trump, but also offering that positive aspirational message, giving people a reason to vote for Biden and not just against Trump -- continues to be the best way forward. And we're seeing it work," he said.
Easy to step up from zero.
Lol. Look at this coward. Who knew he could run so fast. “I’m president don’t ask me tough questions” 😭 BidenHarris2020 vote the little btch boi out.
CTV .. You mean Joe Biden went back to his basement till the election 🗳 WheresHunterBiden
First decent photo from Canada's premier fake news
Biden just said he’s done campaigning until Election Day? Has the definition of “steps up” changed? Biden just confused Trump for Bush in his last virtual appearance and had to be whispered to by his wife for correction! And people wonder why he’s done with these appearances...
Biden can't keep up. That's why he has Obama campaigning for him
It's so blatantly obvious that Trump doesn't give a damn about the almost nine million COVID cases & the over 230,000 deaths. Rallies with no social distancing. Not setting a good example by wearing a mask. 'Covid, Covid, Covid, Covid! he taunts. No shame or respect. ✌️❤️🇨🇦
Joe whirled around his basement... 10 out of 10 people polled in Biden's basement said he's a Chinese puppet. Hunter counted 9.5 times
As the whitehouse said, they are losing because they cant control the virus, well, this pic says alot for why their losing, 1 in 10 wore a mask.
Trump to “escalate” while Biden “steps up” - why differentiate when they’re basically doing the same thing? your biases are showing
Monkey see monkey do
By calling a lid.....zzzzzxxxx
