LITITZ, Pa. - President Donald Trump embarked Monday on a final-week charge through nearly a dozen states ahead of the election, overlooking a surge of coronavirus cases in the U.S. and a fresh outbreak in his own White House. His Democratic rival, Joe Biden, is holding far fewer events in an effort to demonstrate that he’s taking the worsening pandemic seriously.
The final days of the campaign are crystalizing the starkly different approaches Trump and Biden have taken to address the worst public health crisis in a century - with risks for each candidate.
“It’s a choice between a Trump boom or a Biden lockdown,” Trump claimed Monday in Pennsylvania.
For Trump, the full-speed-ahead strategy could spread the virus in places that are already setting new records and leave him appearing aloof to the consequences. And if Biden comes up short in the election, his lower-key travel schedule will surely come under scrutiny as a bad choice.
Both men are making points with their travel plans. Trump was holding three events in Pennsylvania alone on Monday, suggesting he’s on defense in a state that he won in 2016 and that will be critical to his reelection. Biden, meanwhile, is demonstrating more confidence with signals that he’s hoping to expand his campaign map.
While the final week of the campaign is colliding with deepening concerns about the COVID crisis in far-flung parts of the U.S., Trump is anxious for voters to focus on almost anything else. He’s worried that he will lose if the election becomes a referendum on his handling of the pandemic. Biden, meanwhile, is working to ensure the race is just that, hitting Trump on the virus and presenting himself as a safer, more stable alternative.

Michelle obama must of helped write this garbage
So predictable with this supposed virus spike. The media will do whatever it can for Biden .
Nice spin ya got there.
Cute attempt to spin away the fact that Biden can’t handle more than 2-3 campaign events per week, compared to Trump doing 2-3 per day.
Stop it with the China Plague. Big F’n deal. So they are testing more people, so number has to go up. But the deaths as a percentage of total cases is going down.
Rising virus is propaganda too!
If Biden thought for a minute that he could draw crowds equal to or greater than Trump, he’d be out there doing it instead of hiding in his basement or having tiny events with a few people or in a parking lot with 20 cars.
This virus is diabolical. It knows just when to spike, like, exactly at the time to benefit the democrats.
Meanwhile in the land of “I’m Not Buying It.”
The Trump family, Kayleigh, Ronna, et al got the China Virus and recovered. They’ve proved that it’s no big deal.
Boy, the AP is really on a spew-fest today.
General Patton is standing at attention and saluting a president and leader after his own heart.
Biden declared a nap today.
I haven’t seen a positive covid case for several months.
They are artificially jacking up the case numbers counting people twice.
If they have any symptoms they go into the count even before their test results are back. If the test positive, they are counted AGAIN .
We need the concentrate on the death percentage. Nothing else. And they have to be uncomplicated deaths-no pre-existing conditions.
They are artificially increasing the case numbers due to deep state agenda.
Period.
Case numbers are worthless as a parameter.
Some big crowd for a “Woman’s March”, or BLM/Antifa gathering:
“What’s the big deal? Everyone is wearing masks!”
Biden cant draw anyone to his stops:
“Oh that’s because of the virus. We want to keep it safe!”
The AP sucking Joe Diapers ass again. Trump is like a machine that just keeps rolling along crushing the decrepit Joe Diapers along the way. Most 25 year old men don’t have the stamina president Trump has. The guy is a national treasure and we are lucky he is with us now. I believe that President Trump 2.0 will be the greatest administration in our lifetime.
Fear mongering COVID 60/60/24/7/365.
AP sees the red wave. All they have left is to scare people from not voting. I’ll walk thru flames to vote Trump.
Soros Halloween masks are long overdue.
