webfact Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Biden attacks Trump in N. Carolina over COVID-19; president to campaign in Nevada By Jeff Mason and Michael Martina U.S. President Donald Trump holds a campaign rally at Southern Wisconsin Regional Airport in Janesville, Wisconsin U.S., October 17, 2020. REUTERS/Carlos Barria LAS VEGAS/DURHAM, N.C. (Reuters) - President Donald Trump and Democratic challenger Joe Biden were courting early voters on Sunday in the competitive states of Nevada and North Carolina, as the final presidential debate looms later this week. Some 27.7 million Americans have already cast ballots either by mail or in person ahead of the Nov. 3 election, according to the U.S. Elections Project at the University of Florida. The record-shattering figure is being driven in part by concerns about crowds at polling sites on Election Day amid the coronavirus pandemic. In North Carolina, a battleground where 1.4 million, or 20%, of the state's registered voters had already voted as of Sunday morning, Biden urged residents to cast ballots as soon as possible. "We gotta keep the incredible momentum going; we can't let up," he said at a "drive-in rally" in Durham, as attendees sitting in their cars honked in approval. "Don't wait - go vote today." Biden also criticized Trump for saying over the weekend that the United States had "turned the corner" in the coronavirus pandemic, noting that the rate of new cases across the country has risen to the highest level in months. "As my grandfather would say, 'This guy's gone around the bend if he thinks we've turned the corner,'" Biden said. "Things are getting worse, and he continues to lie to us about circumstances." Biden's pick for vice president, Senator Kamala Harris, canceled in-person events over the weekend as a precaution after an aide tested positive for COVID-19. She will return to the campaign trail on Monday with a visit to Florida to mark that state's first day of early in-person voting. Harris tested negative for the virus on Sunday, the campaign said. Trump, a Republican, was spending his Sunday in Nevada, a state he hopes to wrest away from Democrats after narrowly losing it in 2016. Early in-person voting in the state began on Saturday. The president, who rarely goes to church but has remained popular among evangelical Christians for his opposition to abortion and for appointing conservative judges, began his day by attending a service at the International Church of Las Vegas. Trump, who recently came down with his own bout of COVID-19, did not wear a mask for the indoor service. One of the church's pastors, Denise Goulet, said to Trump from the stage that God had told her he would win the 2020 election. Trump put a handful of $20 bills into an offering bucket and bowed his head during a prayer. Trump will campaign every day leading up to Thursday's debate in Florida, including stops in Arizona and North Carolina, campaign spokesman Tim Murtaugh said. While Trump lags in opinion polls at a national level and in many battleground states, Biden campaign manager Jen O'Malley Dillon said over the weekend that the national figures are misleading because must-win states are close. "We cannot become complacent because the very searing truth is that Donald Trump can still win this race, and every indication we have shows that this thing is going to come down to the wire," she wrote in a memo to donors. U.S. presidential elections are determined by electoral votes, allotted to U.S. states and territories based largely on their populations, rather than by a tally of the popular vote nationwide. Trump campaigned on Saturday in Michigan and Wisconsin, two battleground states he narrowly won in the 2016 election. In Muskegeon, Mich., he attacked Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, a Democrat, for imposing restrictions to slow the spread of the coronavirus and made light of a right-wing plot uncovered by the FBI to kidnap her. "Hopefully you'll be sending her packing pretty soon," Trump said, prompting the crowd to yell back "Lock her up!" several times. Whitmer said on Sunday's "Meet the Press" on NBC that the president's rhetoric was "incredibly disturbing" and "dangerous" for her and her family as well as other politicians whom he targets.

Would be more than relevant to further investigate trump and family family dealing, given it's proven malfeasance has already occurred in some of their activities - roll on 03/11 in order that presidential waiver is removed. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirtiest candidate in the history of American elections. It's all coming out, despite the legacy medias attempts to ignore it. It's coming down the home straight. Murdoch and Trump are panicking so its all Hunter through New York Post and Fox News. Old discredited stories. New bits and pieces. But even Chris Wallace on Fox News sees that the story is dodgy at best. Basically if I get up each day and there's no big news, except for conspiracy theories like this, it's a good day for Biden. 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're voting for Trump no matter what and you're hoping this Russian disinformation campaign will be taken seriously. Not going to happen. There was an article in todays national media here in Oz, with Bannon claiming he has the evidence concerning H. Biden's laptop, saying he has been waiting to release the info for Biden to dig a deeper hole for himself by denying ownership. It could be possible that if proven to be a smear, the sole purpose was intent to influence voters away from J. Biden - would that be a criminal offense under US law, but trump retains the presidency if the election goes his way? Steve Bannon, former chief strategist to President Donald Trump, has revealed Joe Biden's son emailed a shop owner who had his hard drive in an effort to get it back. https://www.skynews.com.au/details/_6202123707001 Edited October 19, 2020 by simple1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
