U.S. Democratic Presidential candidate Joe Biden returned home to Delaware on Thursday night, after campaigning in Florida on the same day as President Trump.

Biden kept up his assault on Trump’s handling of the coronavirus, while Trump focused more on the economy.

Both candidates urged supporters to get to polling places in person, even as a tropical storm interrupted early voting in the Southeast.

The shift to focusing on in-person voting next Tuesday — or sooner, where possible — comes as more than 80 million Americans have already cast their ballots, absentee or by mail.
