Biden leads Trump in opinion polls nationally as the race enters its final stretch, although his edge is tighter in key battleground states. Trump continued to insist that businesses should fully reopen and all students should return to schools, while playing down predictions that the winter would bring a second devastating wave of cases. “We’re learning to live with it,” said Trump, who battled the virus himself earlier this month.
There was little recognition from the president that most of the public watching at home had endured a brutal year marked by lockdowns, layoffs, illness and death. When Biden sought to appeal directly to struggling families, Trump dismissed it as empty political rhetoric.
Donovan said the gambit would yield diminishing returns in an election where voters have far greater concerns.
