Sometimes fate plays absolutely absurd tricks. Joe Biden, the Democratic presidential candidate, had to endure the indictment for months of hiding in the basement of his home in Wilmington, Delaware, while President Donald Trump swept the country like a whirlwind. In the few appearances in the election campaign that Biden maintained, Trump supporters screamed their hearts out and mocked the 77-year-old Democrat as an old man who often had to rest.
Four weeks before Election Day on November 3, Biden is now the only presidential candidate who can personally seek voters’ votes. Trump, on the other hand, was taken to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland, on Friday night. This is a “precautionary measure” because Trump and his wife Melania were infected with the corona virus, said Kayleigh McEnany, a White House spokeswoman. The president is in a good mood and shows only “mild symptoms,” McEnany said.
The American media constantly reported that Trump had a low temperature. They also cited anonymous advisers to the president who allegedly said there was no reason for the American people to be alarmed. Sean Conley, the president’s personal physician, also announced that Trump was “tired” and that he had been given a dose of a cocktail of experimental drugs from the biotech company Regeneron, which is said to strengthen his immune system.
At the moment, no more details were known about the state of health of the US president. Trump did not speak all day, leading to wild speculation. He was shown in public shortly after 6 pm (local time) when he boarded the “Marine One” helicopter at the White House, which took him to the hospital. Trump wore a dark suit and, for once, a mask. He briefly greeted the assembled journalists, but (of course) refrained from speaking to them. Instead, the White House released an 18-second video in which the president looked directly at the camera and said, “I think I’m doing great.” The hospital stay is necessary for everything to go well.
According to spokeswoman McEnany, the president now wants to spend “a few days” in the hospital and work from there. Walter Reed is well equipped for this: just in case, the president has a suite of rooms in the famous military hospital.
Mandatory recess in the electoral campaign
Meanwhile, the Republican election campaign is on hold. All events that were scheduled for the next few days in the politically contested states of Florida, Wisconsin and Arizona were canceled before Trump entered the hospital. Your kids have to slow down too. Trump’s campaign staff announced that only Vice President Mike Pence would personally seek votes at this time. Pence announced Friday that he and his wife had tested “negative.” Therefore, Pence also wants to hang on to the next television debate: a television duel with Kamala Harris, Democratic vice presidential candidate, is scheduled for next Wednesday in Salt Lake City, Utah. Pence and Harris are said to sit more than ten feet apart during the debate. The next television debate that Trump will attend is scheduled for October 15.
Joe Biden, on the other hand, traveled to the politically contested state of Michigan on Friday, as planned. In front of union members in Grand Rapids, he praised his economic program and contrasted with the president. Trump’s infection shows that “we have to take the virus seriously. He won’t just go away, “said the Democratic presidential candidate. So Biden asked all Americans to wear a mask.” Be a patriot, don’t mark the strongman. “Then he wished the president a speedy recovery. And of course, wore a mask during his speech.
