Jubilee News Desk

In less than two weeks of testing positive for covid US president Donald Trump has hit back on campaign trail and at the rally in the battleground state of Florida Trump told people he could give them “a big fat kiss”.

His rival, Joe Biden, speaking in Ohio, accused the president of behaving irresponsive since his diagnosis. The two presidential candidates are scrambling to secure votes with three weeks until the 3 November election.

Opinion polls suggests Biden has a 10-point lead over Trump nationally. However his lead in some key states is narrower – as is the case in Florida, where the Democrat is 3.7 points ahead, according to an average of polls collated by Real Clear Politics.

Battlegrounds like Florida and Ohio are crucial for gathering the 270 electoral college votes needed to win the White House, which is not determined by a simple popular ballot count.

Trump tested positive for Covid-19 some 11 days ago, and was admitted to Walter Reed Medical Center a day later. But on Sunday his personal doctor said he was no longer a Covid transmission risk to others and disclosed on Monday that his most recent tests were negative over consecutive days, although he did not give the dates.

The Trump campaign team is throwing everything at Florida – a loss here makes his return to the White House near impossible.

Over the weekend, his eldest son Donald Trump Jr concluded his Florida bus tour, “Fighters Against Socialism” – a pitch primarily aimed at Hispanic voters.

Vice-President Mike Pence recently visited “The Villages” a famous retirement home to turn out the elderly vote. But though the president and some of his supporters here seem relaxed about coronavirus, it has hit Florida hard, with more than 15,000 deaths.
