As Donald Trump and Joe Biden campaigned for the presidency, their decisions during a global pandemic were on full display.

Starting in June, Trump held rallies where large crowds were allowed indoors, physical distancing was not required and masks were optional.

Biden temporarily paused in-person campaigning and then ramped up his travel schedule for the final sprint. He opted for smaller in-person events that followed Covid-19 safety and prevention protocols.

Their contrasting approaches highlighted the stark differences between the two candidates.
