They continue to downplay the risk of COVID-19 at packed rallies across the US while endangering the lives of people around them, including their own staff and supporters.

— Despite the coronavirus spreading among US Vice President Mike Pence's orbit, the President and Vice President are ignoring the threat of the virus nine days before Election Day, continuing to downplay its risk at packed rallies across the country while endangering the lives of people around them, including their own staff and supporters.

White House chief of staff Mark Meadows made the administration's approach clear when he told CNN's Jake Tapper Sunday that it was not possible to control the virus, because"it is a contagious virus just like the flu." He later added that the White House is"making efforts to contain it." The US hit a new daily record for coronavirus cases last week, but both the administration and Trump campaign don't seem to have learned from last month's Rose Garden Supreme Court nomination ceremony, which has since been called a superspreader event.Dueling rallies this weekend showed the stark contrast between the campaigns' visions of how to tackle the pandemic.

"Their carelessness with the health and safety of their colleagues and Capitol employees mirrors their carelessness with the health and safety of Americans during this crisis," Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer wrote to his Democratic colleagues, urging them not to congregate in the chamber ahead of Sunday's procedural vote advancing Barrett's nomination.

"Eight months into this pandemic, new cases are breaking records. Donald Trump isn't going to suddenly protect all of us. He can't even take the basic steps to protect himself," Obama said in Florida, a state he won twice where CNN's poll of polls currently shows Trump and Biden running even."There's no sense that he's coming up with a new approach, with a new plan. He doesn't even acknowledge that there's a problem.

Obama did a line-by-line takedown of Trump's character flaws and his bullying behavior, mocking the President for complaining about his press coverage and for walking out of an interview this past week with Lesley Stahl of"60 Minutes." Trump's self-centered delusion extended to the horse race this weekend, when he predicted"a red wave" in November up and down the ticket, despite Democrats being on track to gain seats in the House and Senate -- largely because the President has been such a drag on down-ballot Republicans.
