More than 47 million Americans already have cast ballots in person or through the mail — roughly eight times the number of early votes cast at about the same point in 2016 — giving Trump, who is trailing in national opinion polls, fewer opportunities to change minds before voting ends on November 3. In their debate yesterday night, Biden renewed his frequent campaign-trail attacks on Trump’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic, which has killed more than 221,000 people in the United States and cost millions their jobs.
Covid-19 has emerged as the top issue in the race, and polls show Americans trust Biden more than Trump to handle the health crisis, further complicating the president’s re-election bid.During the debate, Trump also repeated his accusations that Biden and his son Hunter engaged in unethical practices in China and Ukraine. No evidence has been verified to support the allegations, which Biden called false. He said Trump was trying to distract from his failures as president on other issues.
Biden’s Covid-19 speech in Delaware today follows his promises to improve access to testing and to listen to the advice of health officials and scientists, with whom Trump often feuds. Trump will begin his visit to Florida at the Villages, a sprawling retirement centre in central Florida that is a hotbed of political activity and a regular stop for Republican candidates.
