By Nikhila Natarajan New York, Oct 27 : US President Donald Trump is done with the coronavirus but the pandemic isn’t done with America – especially in states that are a must-win for a Trump second term.
With a week left to go for election day on November 3, Trump is playing defence in states which delivered the White House in 2016 and where the virus is roaring back.
“All the Fake News Media wants to talk about is Covid, Covid, Covid,” has become the latest stump speech insert for Trump.
“We’re rounding the turn,” he assured Americans during his frenzied final week of campaigning through the same states he won in 2016 and where he is now trailing Joe Biden.
Democratic challenger Biden continues to lead Trump by an average of 3.8 points in six battlegrounds (RealClearPolitics).
Trump plans to hold a dizzying 11 rallies in the final 48 hours before polls close at a time when the US seven-day average of new cases is at its highest ever.
