Joe Biden and Donald Trump are facing the challenge of finding the right tone for their campaigns as President Remains is hospitalized’ with COVID 19 a month before the November 3 election.
Due to Trump's illness, every candidate
now enters the last part of the campaign to adjust the messages that became
notes. For Biden, that means being more careful in tackling his ailing rival's
epidemic, which cost 200,000 lives and millions of jobs. For Trump, it
translates to acknowledging the threat of the virus, which he has repeatedly
claimed will eventually be eradicated’.
The former vice president took the first
step. After a negative test for the corona virus early Friday, he continued
with a planned stop in Michigan while Trump was resting at the White House. Voters
with an on-screen photo of Trump visiting a Trump hospital on Friday were
selling their economic plans to union workers in a key left-wing arena.
Nevertheless, Biden extended his remarks
with good wishes and prayers for Trump and his wife, Melania, before following
the guidelines of scientists to reduce the spread of the epidemic.
Trump had regular diggers to sell Biden's
virus in the wrong way, which also brought down a strong economy, and his usual
remarks were that Trump's policies directly led to death and unemployment.
"We need to do better to deal with
this epidemic," Biden said Friday. "It's not a matter of
politics," he said. "It's a bad reminder to all of us that we should
take this virus seriously. It's not going away.
It is unclear whether Trump's infection
will fundamentally change the race. For months, Biden has held a permanent lead
over the president in national elections and only a small part of the
constituency is independent. Most immediately, the test results will exclude
Trump and those close to him from the campaign, as his team has canceled future
events. According to the campaign, Vice President Mike Pence will still host
the event.
Trump's re-election campaign had a
different message issue, with campaign manager Bill Stephen testing positive
for Cowade-19. After seven months of minimizing, masking, or socializing the
virus, and promising to "magically end" the disease, the White House
itself was about to spread it. Trump's trusted aide Omid Hooks fell ill on Wednesday
and was tested and diagnosed late Thursday.
And when Biden spent the first month of
the intermittent campaign at home, mocking Trump for being "hidden in his
basement," Trump was now’ closed, failing to hold signature rallies that
would have him. Connect with your loyal supporters. .
According to four people familiar with the
situation, the mood in both the White House and the campaign was bleak, with
Biden saying he could not return politically after months of national and state
elections.
An aide privately expressed frustration
that Trump did not quarantine Hux as soon as he was’ diagnosed. Instead, Trump
held a fundraiser at his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey, angering one of
his top donors.
Dan Eberhart, who donated $100,000to Trump's re-election in June, said in a
phone interview on Friday that the president is "reckless" and has
very few future fundraisers. Endanger Eberhart, chief executive officer of
Canary Drilling Services LLC, said Trump should have sent a surrogate instead.
Republican strategist Doug Heye said Biden
was right-wing in response to Trump's assessment.
"There's a lot of negativity out
there," he said. "Biden is careful to stay out of the fray."
The sudden change also raises the question
of whether Trump and Biden will join the next debate, which is scheduled’ for
October 15 in Miami. Public health guidelines suggest that people contracting
the coronavirus should be isolated for at least 14 days, and Trump was
diagnosed 12 days before the next face-to-face.
Trump was flown’ to Walter Reed National
Military Medical Center on Friday afternoon, where he is expected to stay for a
few days. Trump's assessment also comes as he mocks Biden during a debate over
wearing a mask, saying: "I don't wear a mask like him. Every time you look
at him, he's got a mask. He could speak 200 feet away, and he shows up with the
largest mask ever.
Trump's positive test result could not
have come at a bad time for his campaign. Not only is the election a setback,
Trump is struggling to raise money, and the New York Times reported on Sunday
that he paid only 750 federal taxes in 2016 and 2017. Chaos and provocative
debate on Tuesday night, in which Trump repeatedly intervened with Biden. And
moderator Chris Wallace was widely seen as a disaster for the president.
Until Labor Day, Biden kept a very limited
public schedule, holding only small, socially distant events in Delaware or
Pennsylvania, and unless speaking from afar, the former vice president always
wore a mask. Is worn His campaign formed the Public Health Advisory Board,
headed by David Kessler, former commissioner of the Food and Drug
Administration, and Vivek Murthy, former surgeon general.
And now, after a confrontation with the
president, Biden may not be out of the woods. Its negative Covid 19 test is not
final, as health experts say it could take days to test for the virus if it
actually contracted it.
The Democratic nominee will not have to
travel again until Monday, when he will campaign in Miami and attend the town
hall hosted by NBC News. Over the weekend, he plans to travel to Arizona to
campaign with his running mate, Kamala Harris, after participating in the vice
president's debate on Wednesday night.
