Options to stop Biden’s advance … are limited

US President Donald Trump, who is under quarantine in the White House and banned from traveling due to being infected with the Coronavirus, is seeking ways to reinvigorate his faltering quest to win a second term and return with force to the electoral scene, four weeks before the day of the elections. Advisers said Trump, who remains contagious, is looking for options on how to get his message across and stop Democrat Joe Biden’s progress in the states that will decide the Nov.3 election. They added that they are considering Trump delivering a speech to the American people, and are also considering delivering it as a speech to older voters, on Thursday.

Pending the decision on the matter, Trump decided to move his campaign and return to the electoral center, calling Biden a “fool.” He wrote, in a tweet on “Twitter”: “He’s been an idiot for years and everyone knows it,” adding that “the media are forced to deal with him and try to protect him.” He asked, “Have you noticed that all the negative things and his low IQ are no longer mentioned? Misleading news! ”
Meanwhile, the complications remain many for the president, as his aides say he is rushing to get back on the track of the election campaign, and insists on debating his opponent, on October 15 in Miami, but Biden announced, by his part, who will not participate if Trump is. It still has Corona. The US president went to the Oval Office of the White House the day before yesterday, the day after being discharged from the hospital, where he received treatment after suffering the “Covid-19” epidemic. In this context, his economic adviser, Larry Cadlow, confirmed to “CNBC” that “the government is working”, adding that “the president arrived at the White House on Tuesday night, taking the utmost precautions regarding Covid- 19 “, at a time of increase There are infections with the new Corona virus among his assistants.
But Trump’s absence from the election campaign came at a high price, as he was expected to visit Western states this week to raise millions of dollars for a campaign facing a deficit compared to Biden’s well-funded campaign. It also appears that any political support that can be garnered by injecting new stimulus money into Americans’ pockets has been left out of reach, after suddenly ending negotiations with Democrats the day before yesterday, in light of the divergence of US positions. the two parties regarding the amount of money that will go towards the package. This sent stocks plummeting on Wall Street and dispelled optimism in recent days after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi resumed talks with Treasury Secretary Stephen Mnuchin on measures related to the “Cares Law”, which allocated 2.2 billion. Dollars to alleviate the recession caused by “Covid-19”. From this point of view, both Biden and Pelosi accused Trump of abandoning Americans in need, while Republican Senator Susan Collins described the president’s move as a “fatal mistake.” “The president turned his back on (the Americans),” Biden said in a tweet on Twitter.

But in the face of escalating layoffs in major industries day after day, and the threat of this fragile recovery, Trump used a tone that seemed more conciliatory, indicating on Twitter that he would immediately sign a bill passed by Congress that guarantees a second aid package that includes the mailing of checks. $ 1,200 for the unemployed, plus $ 135 billion for small businesses, measures that were originally included in the negotiations. In addition, on Tuesday night, he urged Congress to pass swift funding of $ 25 billion for passenger airlines. And he wrote on Twitter: “I’m ready to sign now.” Trump’s announcement came just hours after Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell repeated his call for increased spending, in order to help the world’s largest economic power cope with the recession that left dozens of million unemployed and caused a historic recession in the second quarter of the year.
Meanwhile, the president of the United States announced that he had asked Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to focus the activity of the Republican-dominated House on installing Judge Amy Cooney Barrett to fill the seat that became vacant. on the Supreme Court last month, following the death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, which is what governors will be given a six-seat majority compared to three on the commission. But Trump’s efforts to win Senate approval before the Nov. 3 election may also be in doubt, as three Republican lawmakers have contracted the virus and may not be able to vote.
This comes when a wave of injuries in the White House, among high-level aides and aides to the president of the United States in the press office, left the west wing, which is the Oval Office, almost empty. The latest injury was to Stephen Miller, Trump’s speechwriter and immigration hardliner. In this context, the «A. SECOND. CNN reported that it has counted 23 “Covid-19” cases in the White House, today, including Trump and his wife Melania.
