With no early, blowout victory, the presidential election could come down to votes that may not be counted until well into Wednesday, if not later in the week.

The president makes five stops in five different swing states Sunday, while his Democratic rival focuses on Pennsylvania.

The effort is part of a widespread push by Republicans to reject new voter-accommodation strategies implemented because of the coronavirus pandemic.

The three-person panel on the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals reversed an extension by Secretary of State Steve Simon to accommodate voters who may have been impacted by the coronavirus pandemic.

The shooting death of Walter Wallace by Philadelphia police and the subsequent demonstrations against police brutality saw both major party candidates condemn looting and violent protests.

Democrats boycotted the vote, pointing to what they called the damage she would do to health care, and reproductive and voting rights, and the fact the vote took place amid the presidential election.

The White House described all of the individuals as having been model inmates during their incarcerations who had worked to better themselves and the people around them while still behind bars.

The president's remarks come just two weeks before the Nov. 3 election, in which he faces a steep uphill reelection battle against Democratic rival Joe Biden.

This decision comes after a chaotic first debate that was widely criticized for its largely unstructured nature. President Trump and Democratic nominee Joe Biden are set to face off on Thursday.

The president's remarks came during a call intended to discuss strategy for the Nov. 3 election. Trump has been at loggerheads with public health experts on how best to contain the pandemic.

At the same time but on different networks, the candidates answered questions about a range of issues, including the coronavirus pandemic, which was part of the reason for the separate events.

The second face-off of the general election season was scheduled for next week in Miami.

The White House said Friday it would give an update when the president tests negative and is cleared by his medical team. His doctor said Thursday he expected Trump would be good to go by the weekend.

The president's doctor on Thursday said Trump has completed his course of therapy for COVID-19, but he did not update the president's coronavirus test results.

The White House accused Gov. Gretchen Whitmer of "sowing division by making these outlandish allegations" in her remarks Thursday.

In a video released on Twitter, the president said, "I want everybody to be given the same treatment as your president," though there are still questions about safety and effectiveness of the drugs.

Stephen Miller, the controversial conservative firebrand, is among nearly two dozen close contacts to the White House who have tested positive in the last week.

In explaining the court's decision, Justice Brett Kavanaugh wrote that it was the bench's longstanding position not to alter state voting rules this close to an election.

The vice president gave remarks for the first time since the president test positive. President Trump is set to leave the hospital later Monday; Pence said he spoke to Trump, who "sounded great."

Pence carried on with his usual schedule on Friday, even as a number of prominent Republicans revealed COVID-19 diagnoses on Friday.
