Former vice president Joe Biden is campaigning Sunday in North Carolina, where he will hold an afternoon event encouraging supporters to vote early.

The president held events in Michigan and Wisconsin on Saturday and will headline a rally Sunday night in Carson City, Nev.

Gretchen Whitmer (D) condemned Trump after a crowd at his Muskegon, Mich., campaign rally the previous day targeted her with chants of “Lock her up!”.

After the president went after Whitmer over her pandemic response — “You have got to get your governor to open up your state, okay,” he said — the crowd cheered and began to chant for Whitmer to be imprisoned.

In an interview Sunday on NBC News’s “Meet the Press,” Whitmer decried the rhetoric, which comes days after authorities said they foiled an extremist plot to kidnap her.

A Trump campaign official said Sunday that the president will give Biden “a little bit more room to explain himself” at the next presidential debate, scheduled for Thursday.

On “Fox News Sunday,” Trump campaign senior adviser Jason Miller suggested that Trump won’t interrupt Biden as frequently as he did during their first faceoff, which occurred last month, when the president repeatedly interjected and jeered at his competitor.

“When you talk about style and you talk about approach, I do think that President Trump is going to give Joe Biden a little bit more room to explain himself on some of these issues,” Miller said Sunday.

“I do think the president’s going to want to hear Joe Biden’s answer on some of these, and we’ll definitely give him all the time that Joe Biden wants to talk about packing the court,” Miller said.

“So, for example, you take someone like President Trump, who frequently, the people around him have — all have their masks on, they’ll be tested and somehow, he still got covid.”.

Notwithstanding the assertion, Biden, like Trump, has been an active presence on the campaign trail amid the pandemic and is holding two events on Sunday.

A new CBS News poll shows Biden leading Trump among likely voters in Wisconsin, while the race in Arizona is neck and neck.

Biden wins the support of 51 percent of likely voters in Wisconsin, according to the new survey, while Trump is backed by 46 percent.

In Arizona, Biden takes 50 percent among likely voters compared with 47 percent for Trump.

Notably, while Trump and his campaign have been driving home the message that he is best poised to combat the coronavirus pandemic, the survey shows that a majority of likely voters in both states believe Biden would do a better job handling the crisis.

On CNN’s “State of the Union,” Lara Trump, the president’s daughter-in-law and a senior adviser to his campaign, defended the “Lock her up!” chants directed at Michigan Gov.

Trump has repeatedly condemned Whitmer’s pandemic response as overly strict, and Whitmer has said that his rhetoric helped put her in danger.

… Thank goodness for the Department of Justice, that thwarted this attack,” Lara Trump said.

He was having fun at a Trump rally,” Lara Trump said.

Asked whether Trump should tone down his rhetoric, Lara Trump said, “Well, gosh, I’d like to show people my social media and the threats against me, the threats against my children.”.

Former South Bend, Ind., mayor Pete Buttigieg (D) said Sunday that it’s time to “turn the page” from Trump, telling “Fox News Sunday” host Chris Wallace that the president has failed at combating the coronavirus pandemic and the economic downturn that has accompanied it.

Trump was “something new,” she said, a political outsider who might stick up for “regular Americans” like her.

“Wasn’t that beautiful?” Trump said at an evening campaign rally in Michigan.

The forces “marched forward,” the president said, “and the whole thing was over.”.

In the latest Washington Post-ABC News poll, Democratic nominee Joe Biden leads President Trump, with 54 percent of likely voters favoring him vs
