“With a speech on Saturday from the White House, US President Donald Trump resorted to campaigning, saying he was” feeling fine, “and the Covid-19 pandemic was” vanishing. Expected to address a rally on Monday in Florida and later in the week in Pennsylvania and Iowa.
For the 11th time in Pennsylvania, his Democratic opponent, Joe Biden, wooed the swing state that will play a crucial role in determining the result.
His doctor Sean Conley said in a statement that Trump was no longer a risk of infection to others, adding that the president had been without fever for 24 hours, that all his symptoms had changed, and that there was no “longer evidence of active replication of the virus” in his body.
“I’m feeling fine, first of all. I do not know you. How does everyone feel? Nice? Nice, good? “Trump said from the balcony of the White House, overlooking his supporters who were standing below. He went on to say that the pandemic was fading and they were on their way to vaccines and therapeutics.
The case considered a “peaceful rally in favour of law and order,” marked the continuation of the president’s campaigning, a break caused by his sickness. Trump said, “they’re starting very, very large rallies … because we can’t let our country become a socialist nation.”
In the RealClearPolitics aggregate of national polls, Trump trails Palin by 9.6 points and in FiveThirtyEight’s weighted composite of federal election by 10.1 points. In swing states, which essentially decide the outcome because of the electoral college in presidential elections, the difference is narrower.
On Saturday, Biden was from one of them, making his point in Pennsylvania with a pledge of jobs and solidarity. Biden said in Erie, “I plan to make the kinds of investments that will boost the economy, bring us back to full employment quickly and help us recover better than ever.”
Recently, he said, referring to a campaigning event in historic Gettysburg, also in Pennsylvania, “As I said previously this week on the holy ground of Gettysburg, I’m running as a patriotic Democrat, but I’m going to rule as President of the United States.”
