US President Donald Trump returned to the election battle the day before yesterday (Monday), and he faces questions not about his health after the conflict with the emerging Corona virus, but about the financial health of his campaign.

Trump had told his supporters that tests had confirmed that he was completely free of the disease.

The president's doctors said that he no longer posed a risk of transmitting the virus to others, but they avoided responding to the issue of him being completely free of the virus.

Despite Trump's delay in national opinion polls, his electoral team has canceled all advertisements in three of the northern states, and drastically reduced spending in four other electoral competitions, while this team is rationalizing resources to focus on defending states Several core, in the southeast, and southwestern United States.

By comparison, Democratic candidate Joe Biden is expanding the electoral map and investing heavily in broadcast time in states that were out of his reach, including Texas, Georgia, Ohio and Iowa.

President Trump has only a few days to achieve a victory over his previous victory four years ago, when some observers believed he would lose the competition, after posting a video from 2005 in which Trump bragged about the sexual assault of women.

President Trump will hold rallies in Florida, Pennsylvania, and Iowa during three consecutive nights.

Iowa is one of the disputed states, in addition to Ohio and New Hampshire, where Trump has canceled advertising expenditures assigned to it, which was expected to cost about $ 17 million.

The Trump campaign has cut $ 11 million from ads that were seized in Nevada, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan, and reallocated $ 18 million to each of: Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, and Arizona.

Last week, Biden's campaign spent $ 36 million on radio and television ads, nationally, double the $ 18 million the Trump campaign spent.

Biden, 77, and Democratic groups spent about $ 177 million on bookings for television ads, compared to the $ 92 million allocated by the Trump campaign and Republican groups, according to the "Semage" ad-detection organization.

The Trump campaign did not bother to withdraw from Ohio, Iowa, and other states located in the central and western United States.

A campaign spokesperson said: “President Trump and his campaign are absolutely confident about our fortunes in these states.

Unlike Joe Biden, the advertising campaign is not the only method we know about in the election campaign.

A new national opinion poll, conducted by the Washington Post and ABC News, on Sunday, indicated that Biden is 12 percentage points ahead of Trump, and when Trump is rated, based on his handling of the Corona epidemic, which is the most important issue for For many voters, his acceptance rate has declined to 41% among registered voters.

And last Sunday, the chief anti-virus expert in the United States, Dr. Anthony Fauci, said that the campaign of one of Trump's campaign ads, last week, took his words out of context, as he says in the advertisement that he endorses the president's response to the Corona pandemic.

Fauci added, "During five decades of my public work, I have not publicly approved any political candidate."

Fauci said he was talking about the efforts made by public health workers.

Unfulfilled promises

Trump achieved his victory in 2016, pledging to end ties between special interest groups and political power in Washington.

Instead, it has created a system of presidential influence, unparalleled in contemporary American politics, according to the New York Times.

Foreign figures, defense groups, wealthy personalities, and more than 200 companies dealt with the president by spending lavishly on his possessions, the most important of which was his hotel in Washington and his resort known as "Mar-a-Lago" in Florida, where he could be there at the weekend.

And 60 of these customers had spent about $ 12 million in Trump hotels and resorts during the first and second year of his presence in the presidency, and they were able to "achieve their interests in one way or another, through President Trump or his government."

Over the past week, Biden's campaign spent $ 36 million on radio and television ads, nationally, twice the $ 18 million the Trump campaign did.
