US Presidential Election: Biden attacks Trump in North Carolina with COVID-19
President Donald Trump and Democratic challenger Joe Biden were choosing early voters in competing states of Nevada and North Carolina on Sunday as the final presidential debate this weekend.
Some 27.7 million Americans have already cast ballots in the November 3 election, either by post or in person, according to the US Election Project at the University of Florida. In the midst of a coronovirus epidemic, record-scattering data are being run up in view of concerns about congestion at polling places on election day.
In North Carolina, a battleground, where 1.4 million or 20% of the state’s registered voters had already voted on Sunday morning, Biden urged residents to take the ballot as soon as possible.
“We want to maintain incredible speed; At a “drive-in rally” in Durham, he said, “Attendants sitting in their cars nod as approval.” “Don’t go today – don’t go.”
Biden criticized Trump over the weekend for saying that the United States had “turned the corner” in the coronovirus epidemic, noting that the rate of new cases nationwide rose to the highest level in months. “As my grandfather says,” This guy has gone around the bend if he thinks we’ve turned the corner, “Biden said.” Things are getting worse, and he lies to us about the circumstances. Is speaking. ”
Biden’s pick for the vice president, Senator Kamala Harris, canceled individual events over the weekend as a precaution after testing positive for COVID-19. She will return to the campaign trail on Monday with a trip to Florida to mark the first day of the state’s first day of voting.
According to the campaign, Harris tested negative for the virus on Sunday.
Trump, a Republican, was spending his Sunday in Nevada, a state he expected to turn away from Democrats after narrowly losing in 2016. Voting began on Saturday in the state. The president, who rarely goes to church, but has been popular among evangelical Christians for opposing abortion and appointing conservative judges, began his day by attending a service at the International Church of Las Vegas.
Trump, who recently landed with his boxing COVID-19, did not wear a mask for indoor service.
One of the church’s pastors, Dennis Gollet, told Trump from the stage that God had told him that he would win the 2020 election. Trump put a handful of $ 20 in an offering bucket and bowed his head during prayer.
