Summary

President Donald Trump is playing defense in three key states where he won the presidency in 2016. He visited Wisconsin, the epicenter of America's quickening viral surge, along with Michigan and Nebraska on Tuesday. During his three-state swing, he spoke about how he is "working his a** off." He also attempted to create the impression that the pandemic is over, as cases continuously rise. Now, more than 226 thousand Americans have lost their lives to Covid-19. The country is facing more than 8.7 million cases as the daily average of new cases hits another record high. President Barack Obama criticized Trump's Covid-19 response. On Tuesday, during a speech for Biden in Florida, he said in part, "He's jealous of Covid's media coverage." Democratic Presidential Nominee Joe Biden is trying to expand the Democratic electoral map. He campaigned in the critical battleground state of Georgia. No Democratic presidential candidate has won that state since Bill Clinton did in 1992. On Friday, Biden will travel to Iowa and Wisconsin in an effort to flip the states Trump won. A record 66 million people have already cast their votes with less than one week left until the election.
