"white-house"

Biden has slammed as "reckless" Trump's determination to rally huge crowds during a pandemic -- but Trump has brushed the concerns aside

Tests showed there was "no longer evidence of actively replicating virus," and that Trump's viral load was "decreasing".

The president appeared on Fox's Tucker Carlson Tonight for what the White House described as an on-air "medical evaluation" conducted remotely by Fox contributor doctor Marc Siegel.

Polls show Biden leads heavily in key demographics including women and the elderly, prompting analysts to talk increasingly of a possible landslide victory.

"We had a super spreader event in the White House and it was in a situation where people were crowded together, were not wearing masks."

Trump has received an experimental antibody treatment, the antiviral drug remdesivir and the steroid dexamethasone.

Trump was eager to return to the campaign trail, telling aides that he wanted a series of mega rallies in Republican-friendly areas in battleground states to mark his recovery.

"The forces of darkness, the forces of division, the forces of yesterday are pulling us apart, holding us down and holding us back,"

The Secret Service has refused to disclose how many of its employees have tested positive or have had to quarantine, citing privacy and security.

Health experts have complained that the messaging from the administration -- and particularly Trump's medical team -- has caused widespread confusion.
