A few dozen cars at a drive-in rally in suburban Pennsylvania honked in unison as Democratic nominee Joe Biden blasted President Trump’s handling of the coronavirus. In North Carolina, Trump told a packed crowd: “COVID, COVID, COVID. By the way, on Nov. 4, you won’t hear about it anymore.”

With 10 days to go before Election Day, the president is zipping across the country on Air Force One on Saturday, holding large rallies and trying to replicate the energy of his first campaign’s final week in 2016. Biden, meanwhile, is running a final stretch tailored to the realities of a worsening pandemic, maintaining a scaled-back itinerary for himself and fanning out top surrogates for socially distant, drive-in rallies in swing states.
