WASHINGTON - President Donald Trump, still confined to the White House where he is being treated for Covid-19, planned more steps on Thursday to try to reinvigorate a re-election campaign hit hard by his handling of the pandemic.

National opinion polls show Mr Trump trailing Democratic rival Joe Biden ahead of the November election, with Mr Biden also showing an advantage in battleground states critical to winning the Electoral College. "I think this was a blessing from God that I caught it. This was a blessing in disguise," Mr Trump said in the video posted to his Twitter account on Wednesday, adding his use of an experimental medication from Regeneron Pharmaceuticals Inc had allowed him to experience first-hand how effective it could be.

Mr Trump's Vice-President, Mr Mike Pence, and Democratic vice-presidential nominee Kamala Harris debated on Wednesday night in Salt Lake City, their only matchup ahead of the Nov 3 election. Mr Trump has depicted himself as a man who vanquished the disease and emerged stronger, telling Americans not to be afraid of Covid-19.

Two-thirds said they believed he could have avoided becoming sick if he had taken the disease seriously, rather than eschewing face coverings and social-distancing guidelines.
