SANFORD, Fla. —
After having to leave the campaign trail because of a diagnosis of COVID-19, President Donald Trump will hold a rally Monday evening in Sanford.
Trump will speak at 7 p.m. at Orlando Sanford International Airport. You can watch it live in the video player above.
The president's supporters began lining up for the event Sunday night.
Trump had been scheduled to attend a rally at the airport Oct. 2, but the event was canceled after he contracted COVID-19.
Monday's rally comes as the president faces a stubborn deficit in national and battleground state polls three weeks from Election Day. The Trump campaign said the president will also hold campaign events in Pennsylvania, Iowa and North Carolina this week.
Trump's busy schedule comes raises questions about the impact so much travel so soon could have on his health.
About an hour before Trump was set to take the stage Monday, the White House released a statement saying the president had tested negative for COVID-19 on consecutive days.
Monday’s rally comes a little more than three weeks before the Nov. 3 election, with Trump widely viewed as needing to win Florida if he is going to defeat Democrat Joe Biden. Sanford is in Central Florida’s Interstate 4 corridor, which is typically a fiercely contested region of the state.
Biden released a statement on Monday about the president's campaign stop in Sanford.
"President Trump comes to Sanford today bringing nothing but reckless behavior, divisive rhetoric, and fear mongering. But, equally dangerous is what he fails to bring: no plan to get this virus that has taken the lives of over 15,000 Floridians under control, no plan to protect Floridians' health care amid his attacks against the ACA, and certainly no plan to mitigate the economic impact the pandemic is having on families across Central Florida. Donald Trump won't speak to the pain being felt by working families. The best he has mustered is, "it is what it is." Well, it is what it is because he is who he is," Biden said.
With Trump rallying Sunshine State voters Monday in Sanford, Biden will counter Tuesday with appearances in South Florida.
Biden is slated to appear Tuesday afternoon in Pembroke Pines to discuss issues related to seniors and will attend a “voter mobilization” event in Miramar, the Biden campaign said.
Vice President Mike Pence made two Central Florida campaign stops on Saturday.and Biden will campaign in South Florida later this week.

SANFORD — Thousands of people cheered and chanted “USA! USA!” Monday night as President Donald Trump held his first campaign rally outside Washington since his coronavirus diagnosis 11 days ago.
“We’ve all endured a lot together, and we are doing better by far than in 2016,” said Trump, adding that he would win Florida again. “We are going to have an even greater victory than we did four years ago.”
The mostly maskless crowd was seated closely together in chairs and bleachers, with some in a nearby hangar, when Trump took the podium in the middle of the crowd at Orlando Sanford International Airport.
Trump declared the election between himself and former Vice President Joe Biden “the most important in American history.”

“These people are crazy,” he said of the Democratic ticket. “We have to win.”
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis high-fived spectators as he arrived about an hour before the president began speaking. He wasn’t wearing a mask.
In a warm-up speech, the governor told the cheering crowd that Republicans “will be storming the polls to reelect Donald Trump.”
Biden criticized the event before it began.
“President Trump comes to Sanford today bringing nothing but reckless behavior, divisive rhetoric, and fear-mongering,” the former vice president said in a statement. “But, equally dangerous is what he fails to bring: no plan to get this virus that has taken the lives of over 15,000 Floridians under control, no plan to protect Floridians' health care amid his attacks against the ACA, and certainly no plan to mitigate the economic impact the pandemic is having on families across Central Florida.''
White House physician Sean Conely on Monday night released a memo that the president had tested negative for the virus on "consecutive days'' to support his diagnosis that Trump was no longer ill or contagious.

About 75,000 more Americans died from COVID-19 pandemic than reported in spring and summer, study finds
USA TODAY
The coronavirus pandemic may have caused tens of thousands of more deaths in the spring and summer than previously thought, a new study says.
Researchers at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond found nearly 75,000 more people may have died from the pandemic than what was recorded in March to July, according to the report published Monday in the peer-reviewed journal JAMA.
By examining death certificates, the study found more than 150,000 deaths were officially attributed to COVID-19 during that period. But researchers determined that nearly 75,000 additional deaths were indirectly caused by the pandemic, bringing the total number of deaths for those four months to more than 225,000.
Johns Hopkins University data puts the total COVID-19 death toll in the U.S. at just below 215,000.
“There have been some conspiracy theories that the number of deaths from COVID-19 have been exaggerated,” said Dr. Steven Woolf, director emeritus of the Center on Society and Health at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond. “The opposite is the case. We’re actually experiencing more death than we thought we were.”
Woolf says the deaths indirectly caused by the pandemic came from illnesses such as Alzheimer's disease, diabetes and heart disease, which sharply increased in the same five states that recorded the most COVID-19 deaths.
Delayed care, fear of seeking care or emotional crises stemming from the pandemic could have also contributed to these deaths, he says, as well as inaccurate death certificates that may have misidentified a COVID-19 death.
Woolf saw a similar pattern in a previous study by researchers at Virginia Commonwealth and Yale universities that looked at excess deaths early in the pandemic, from March to April.
In that study, researchers found deaths from these other diseases spiked in states like New York, New Jersey and Massachusetts, where coronavirus cases surged during the beginning of the pandemic. In June and July, Woolf said similar deaths spiked in Southern states that experienced a summer surge in coronavirus cases.

Another notable finding is how long the surges lasted in various states. According to the study, the level of excess deaths in New York, New Jersey and Massachusetts were immense but short-lived, resulting in a “A-shaped” model.
In Sunbelt states, however, excess deaths began to gradually increase at the beginning of the pandemic then skyrocket in June, rising until Woolf’s team ended its research in July.
“This suggests it has some policy implications in terms of the consequences of the decision of some states to ease restrictions early in the pandemic,” he said. “It’s sort of a warning call going forward.”
Dr. Amesh Adalja, an infectious disease physician and senior scholar at the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, said the study confirms what doctors see every day in the hospital and underscored how badly federal officials have performed during the pandemic.
While the study may be only a snapshot of March through July, he says the country is still seeing an excess of deaths from the coronavirus.
“The fact is even now in the fall with all the knowledge and the new tools ... this is still killing people at a rate that’s much too high,” Adalja said.
The study contributes to research from the University of Washington that suggests nearly 400,000 people will die this year from COVID-19 or consequences of the pandemic. JAMA editor-in-chief Dr. Howard Bauchner said in a journal editorial published Monday the number of excess of deaths “cannot be overstated.”
“These deaths reflect a true measure of the human cost of the Great Pandemic of 2020,” he wrote.
