"This is an election between the Trump super recovery, which is happening right now, and a Biden depression," Trump told cheering supporters, who as at most of his rallies were packed shoulder to shoulder, with many not wearing masks. Biden has criticised Trump for failing to confront the pandemic and rushing to reopen the economy and belittling safety measures such as social distancing and wearing masks. Opinion polls show more Americans trust Biden than Trump to lead on the health crisis. The former vice president was off the campaign trail on Tuesday to prepare for his debate this week with Trump. "We're holding our breath, and I'm concerned about lines at early voting places," said Jay Heck, executive director of the nonpartisan voting rights group Common Cause in Wisconsin.
