After his return from the hospital, the president of the United States, Trump, is back in campaign mode: he invites 2,000 guests to the White House and wants to perform in Florida. Critics warn of new contagion risks.
After canceling the television duel scheduled for next week with his challenger Joe Biden, the president of the United States, Donald Trump, invited about 2,000 guests to an election campaign event on the White House lawn. The president wants to talk to them from a balcony.
After an event at its official headquarters turned into a “superpreader event” about two weeks ago, in which numerous people were infected with Covid-19, this time all visitors must wear a mask, complete a questionnaire and measure themselves. temperature. Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden called Trump’s swift return to public appearances “ruthless.”
Trump cancels television duel
The second television matchup planned for next week between Trump and his challenger Biden had previously been canceled. This decision was communicated by the commission in charge of organizing the presidential debates.
The organizers had initially decided to hold the event virtually to protect themselves against infection by the corona virus. Candidates need to light up from different places rather than being together on a stage as is often the case. Trump rejected the new format and said he would not attend under such conditions.
Campaign appearance in Florida
Trump fell ill with Covid-19 as a result of a coronavirus infection and was treated for three days in a military hospital. He returned to the White House on Monday. It is not clear if it is still contagious. Trump said in a television interview broadcast late Friday that he had been tested but had not yet received the values. But it was virus-free or “at the lower end of the scale,” he said.
For Monday night, Trump plans an appearance in the election campaign in Florida, one of the most important states for the next elections. Trump is behind Biden in national polls, including in the state of Florida, which he won in 2016.
