⁍ President Donald Trump is seeking to put his bout with COVID-19 behind him with a return to the campaign trail in Florida on Monday.
⁍ New polls show him losing more ground to Democratic rival Joe Biden in two battleground states that could decide the Nov. 3 election.
⁍ Biden pulled further ahead in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, building momentum in two states that Trump carried in the 2016 presidential election.
– President Trump is set to return to the campaign trail in Florida on Monday for the first time since he fell ill with the deadly coronavirus on Oct. 2, Reuters reports. Trump, who says he is now fully cured of the virus, will kick off a three-week sprint to Election Day at a rally in Sanford, Fla. Polls show he is losing ground to Democratic rival Joe Biden, who has tested negative for the virus a number of times since Trump’s diagnosis. Biden, who is 77, was in Ohio on Monday, where he told auto workers that he and former President Obama helped the US auto industry survive the financial crisis and recession, the AP reports. “Barack and I bet on you and the American worker and it paid off,” said Biden, who is hoping to undermine what polls show is Trump’s greatest strength—the view among some voters that the former real estate entrepreneur is better at handling the economy. Biden, who is hoping to undermine what polls show is Trump’s greatest strength—the view among some voters that the former real estate entrepreneur is better at handling the economy—was in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania on Monday, where polls show he is now leading Trump by 7 percentage points and 5 percentage points, respectively. The scientific research has been inconclusive on how long people who have recovered from the virus have antibodies and are protected from a second infection. At least 11 Trump aides have tested positive for the virus.
