U.S election 2020: Trump back on campaign trail in Florida

October 13, 2020

President Donald Trump has returned to the campaign trail less than two weeks after testing positive for Coronavirus. He told thousands of supporters, many not wearing masks, that he could give them "a big fat kiss", at a rally in the battleground state of Florida.

His rival, Joe Biden, speaking in Ohio, accused the president of "reckless behavior" since his diagnosis.

The two Presidential candidates are scrambling to secure votes with three weeks until the 3 November election.

Opinion polls suggests Mr. Biden has a 10 point lead over Mr. Trump nationally. However his lead in some key states is narrower - as is the case in Florida, where the Democrat is 3.7 % points ahead, according to an average of polls collated by Real Clear Politics.
