The US election campaign is entering the final sprint. Above all, Trump and Biden are still campaigning for the disputed states. The president describes his rival as a “sordid, filthy and corrupt politician.” In return, he condemns Trump’s attack on doctors.
In the final push for the White House election campaign, US President Donald Trump is taking his attacks on challenger Joe Biden to the extreme. In the beleaguered state of Minnesota, Trump described the former vice president Friday night as a “sordid, filthy and corrupt politician” who sold himself to China. At the same time, the president again tried to downplay the corona pandemic despite the rapid rise in infections. Doctors exaggerated the figures because they would get more money for corona cases, the US president repeated a conspiracy theory that was haunted on the Internet.
In his campaign appearances, Biden immediately condemned Trump’s attack on doctors: “he should stop attacking them and start doing his job.” Trump capitulated to the virus. The United States is moving toward the 100,000 new infections per day mark. Around 900 people die every day. Meanwhile, Trump’s son, Donald Trump Jr., claimed in an interview with Fox News that the media was focusing on the infection figures because almost no one died.
Trump 14th floor Reden
Trump, who is behind Biden in polls both nationally and in several potentially crucial states, has a string of campaign appearances to mobilize his supporters. He plans to give 14 speeches over the weekend and on Monday, several of them in Michigan and Pennsylvania. Meanwhile, about 87 million Americans took advantage of the opportunity to vote by letter or at polling stations open before the official date of November 3.
The president of the United States is not elected directly by the citizens, but by the voters who vote according to the outcome in the individual states. 270 voter votes are required for victory. With 20 voters, Pennsylvania is one of the most important and disputed states. Michigan has 16 voters. Trump surprisingly won both states in 2016. According to polls, Biden is ahead of them, but relatively close.
Battle for Florida
Biden performs twice Saturday with former President Barack Obama in Michigan, of which he was vice president. Singer Stevie Wonder will join them in Detroit. Biden’s runner-up Kamala Harris flies to Florida where there is a face-to-face race of candidates. If Biden Florida wins with 29 voters, experts say, Trump would have little chance of winning.
Trump plans four appearances in Pennsylvania for Saturday. On Sunday he plans to perform in Michigan, Iowa, North Carolina, Georgia and Florida. North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Michigan, as well as Wisconsin, should follow again on Monday. The performances usually last from one to an hour and a half. On Friday night, Trump shortened his speech in Minnesota to 20 minutes, possibly because only 250 of his supporters were able to attend due to crown restrictions.
