Will "battleground without enemies" be Biden's chance if Trump is sick?

There's not much new media focused on in-depth reportingAll now Author . . Zheng BodinThe full text is 3345 words and takes approximately 9 minutes to read Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden, who has been derided by U.S. President Donald Trump as "physically unable" and "hidden in the basement," continues his tight campaign trail: October 2, flying to Michigan, flying to Delaware on October 3, and flying to Florida on October 4 for an election campaign. Before the new coronavirus, Mr. Trump had planned to go to Wisconsin and Florida over the weekend to campaign on a massive scale - but now he can only be treated at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, or Walter Reed Hospital. The ailing Trump, too, seems to have taken a back-and-forth on Twitter in the past, posting only five tweets, even full of words of peace and love, after announcing he had contracted the new crown virus. In contrast to the president, Biden tweeted a rare 15 tweets: expressing sympathy for the Trumps, advice to strengthen protections for Americans, and calls for Americans to vote to change America's fortunes for decades to come. It is October 4th, with just 30 days to go until polling day for the US election on November 3rd.

"As long as Mr. Trump is shut out of the country because of the virus, Mr. Biden will be more likely to want to strengthen that contrast with his campaign on the ground." Politico, the US political news network, commented on the 4th. With just a month to go until Election Day, a record 3.2 million Americans cast early ballots in 21 states. At such a critical point, Mr. Trump's sudden announcement that he had contracted the new coronavirus and had to be admitted to hospital for treatment seemed like a battleground for Biden's campaign to travel to the states to launch a differentiated face-to-face campaign. In an october 3 interview with reporters in Delaware, Biden said he had been tested negative for coronavirus in Michigan the day before. He revealed that he will be tested for the virus again on the 4th. Biden leaves Michigan on October 2, 2020. Picture: AFP Anita Dunn, an adviser to Biden, said, "We should continue to show voters (our party) that we should campaign more, provided we have protections, wear masks, and keep social distance." "Biden has been emphasizing this issue since March. " Under Biden's strict order not to mention Trump's illness directly on the Democratic campaign trail, he also announced the withdrawal of negative ads about Trump as a show of respect - even though some of the negative ads are still being aired on certain platforms and have not yet been removed. Another Biden adviser also acknowledged that positive advertising also has a unique purpose: entering the debate stage late in the campaign, in which Democrats try to rally voters by promoting change. The adviser added, "Biden doesn't need to say much about Trump's efforts to contain the new coronavirus ( whether it's effective) because since the president is already hospitalized for it, it's obvious." " "Trump is doing everything he can to pretend that coronavirus doesn't exist, and now even he can't get away with it," the adviser stressed. The new virus's raid on the White House makes any positive message that Mr. Trump and his team have previously tried to spread untrustworthy. After Mr. Trump announced his infection, his campaign manager, Bill Stepien, Mr. Trump's adviser, Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, White House adviser Hope Hicks, Republican National Committee Chairman Ronna McDaniel, Senators Ron Johnson and Tom Thom Tillis and Mike Lee were also declared positive for the virus. In response, Sun Chengxuan, an assistant research fellow at the Institute of American Studies at the China Institute of Modern International Relations, told Quan that for now, after Trump's infection, his campaign strategy will be greatly affected, and then, whether Biden can seize the opportunity is crucial. He believes that Mr. Trump's planned campaign rallies for the next month were in part aimed at swing states, and that Mr. Trump is very good at large-scale face-to-face rallies. But because of the current state of isolation, Mr. Trump will not be able to appear in person at the rally for the next 14 days or more. "During this time, Biden can appear more in front of voters, and in that view, it's good for Biden." After this week's campaign, Biden will travel to Miami next Monday for a town hall panel hosted by Lester Holt. His advisers believe the town hall will be the ideal place for Biden to campaign because he will interact directly with voters -- and will be Biden's first appearance on national television since the first presidential debate this week.

It's been a tough week for Trump
On the evening of October 3, local time, Mr. Trump tweeted a video saying he "feels better now" and that "I think I'll be back soon." " Trump posted the video. Picture: Twitter Screenshot But in reality, it's been a tough week for Trump and his campaign, from being exposed by the New York Times about taxes, to his performance in the presidential debates, to announcing that he's been infected with a new crown virus. White House Physician Sean Conley said at a news conference outside Walter Reed Hospital Wednesday that he is optimistic about the president's condition. But while he is sending positive signals to the outside world, there is a common sense that it will take at least a few weeks for new coronavirus infections to go from being cured to being no longer contagious. Trump's doctor pointed out the same day, the president began a five-day reedsiway treatment on the 2nd, but this usually requires patients to complete the entire course of treatment must stay in the hospital. In addition, multiple media reports said that Trump received oxygen treatment at the White House on the 2nd, which forced him to stay in Walter Reed Hospital, but the president did not want to release all the details. Politico, the US political news network, also cited the latest news from people "familiar with the president's health" who said the president's health remained a concern and that it was the White House "big housekeeper" Mark Medos who allegedly released the news. White House Physician Sean Conley answers questions about Trump's health outside Walter Reed Hospital on October 3, 2020. Picture: AFP Even, according to the timeline mentioned by White House Physician Sean Conley and his medical team, the president is likely to have known about his illness the day before it beed public. Inconsistent information has left Mr. Trump facing a serious credibility crisis. A morning consultation poll released Tuesday showed that 68 percent of respondents believe the president should speak directly to the public about positive diagnoses. In response, Democratic Rep. Jamie Raskin called on the White House to quickly set up a non-political body to release the president's health to keep Congress and the public relevant. With some of the president's events having to be canceled or delayed, sources said, Trump's campaign is pushing Vice President Mike Pence to fill the president's absence, and that Trump's sons, Eric Trump and daughter-in-law Laura Trump, will also attend as his surrogates. "Voters can have a "flag-gathering effect" when leaders have tough times (first proposed by John Miller, an American political scientist in the 1970s, who pointed out that the president's approval rating rises rapidly in every major crisis), even for leaders they don't like very much. Sun Chengxuan said. However, this rise in compassionate support is likely to be only a short-term phenomenon, and most voters are generally not affected by the current political divisions in the United States.

There are still big variables in the general election
In response to the Biden campaign's decision to cancel negative ads for Trump, Tim Murtaugh, a spokesman for Mr. Trump's campaign, told CNN that the Trump campaign would not take similar action. He also accused the Biden campaign of "hypocrisy", saying Biden had increased his face-to-face campaign despite the threat of a new viral pandemic. In addition, he said, Biden has long advocated being polite in politics, but he was angry during this week's presidential debate and called Trump a "clown." But chris Coons, a Biden adviser, said of Tim Mott's accusations that "the health scare created by Trump will only make the choice between the two candidates clearer." "I just remember on the debate stage in Cleveland, Ohio, Trump mocking Biden for wearing a mask. " Biden displays his mask at an event in Pennsylvania on September 30, 2020. Picture: AFP Despite Biden's request to avoid mentioning the president's illness as much as possible, he will remind voters in his speech that the president's positive report is a "reminder" of the severity of the new coronavirus -- a day after he tweeted: " (Although) I'm running as a Democrat now, I'm going to be a president of (all) Americans." Whether you voted yes or no to me, I will represent you. " In Sun Chengxuan's view, there are still big variables in the general election. "Trump's illness is likely to cause him to miss the second debate, scheduled for October 15 in Miami, and there are problems with the debate itself, " he said. " Whether there will be an online debate next, or whether the rules of the debate will change, is unknown. " Moreover, while Mr. Trump's illness appears to have given Mr. Biden a chance, there are downsides: "At least for some time to come, Mr. Trump will dominate the headlines, and he can make his voice heard in the media and on social networking sites, setting issues to guide public opinion." And Biden's reluctance to attack Trump on anti-epidemic policies after his illness cost him a trump card.
