Trump votes in Florida a day after worst US COVID-19 spike

WASHINGTON: President Donald Trump cast his vote on Saturday in Florida ahead of another punishing day with three campaign rallies as he works to close the gap with Joe Biden and pull off a 2016-style upset win on Nov 3.

US President Donald Trump takes off his mask before speaking to the press after casting his ballot at the Palm Beach County Public Library, during early voting for the November 3 election, in West Palm Beach, Florida, on October 24, 2020 AFP/MANDEL NGAN "President Trump knew the severity of this virus and failed to tell the American people the truth," the former vice president said in a statement Saturday. He said Trump was"unwilling and unable to do the hard work to get it under control."Biden, who has been more restrained - and pandemic-conscious - in his campaigning, planned two drive-in events in Pennsylvania, another key state.

Joe Biden - seen here delivering remarks on COVID-19 in Wilmington, Delaware - is also ramping up activity in the final stretch of the White House race AFP/Angela WeissThe drama of the final Trump-Biden televised debate on Thursday was thought unlikely to move the needle significantly. He then pivoted to his own scare tactics, claiming that Biden would let in hordes of illegal immigrants including"criminals and rapists and even murderers."While Biden has waged a lower-key campaign, even the 77-year-old Democrat is ramping up activity in the final stretch.

In addition to the national disaster, Trump's reelection bid has been hampered throughout by his own erratic and often bad tempered behavior.
