I hate to bring tragedy into politics but this was Trump's own doing. If he would have listened to Dems these numbers would be a lot better for him. So now he is faced with these states hitting record highs for cases which will do two things in those states. According to 538 Trump does worse when Covid is surging and some people who planned to vote on election day, which is mostly Republicans, will stay home out of fear of catching Covid where it is running rampant. So it's two strikes against Trump in these states:
WI - Getting obliterated and running out of beds. Probably why one poll had Biden up by 14 here. 5,000 cases today in a state with not a lot of population. No sign of it slowing down. Record high was Wednesday but today was a close second: https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/usa/wisconsin/
MI - Record High today with 3,300 cases: https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/usa/michigan/
MN - Record high today with 3,100 cases: https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/usa/minnesota/
NC - Record High today, just under 3,000 cases: https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/usa/north-carolina/
IA - Record high today 2,800 cases today: https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/usa/iowa/
PA - 2,500 cases today. Not a record but only because there was one day back in April where they combined two days of data. This is the biggest surge: https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/usa/pennsylvania/
USA - All time high today over 100,000 known cases.
Texas, Georgia and Florida have surging cases but far below their record numbers back in July.
