The closing week of campaigning by President Trump and Joe Biden underscores their different strategies.
The big picture: Low on cash, Trump is chasing free coverage and base enthusiasm he might convert to votes, via mask-optional pandemic rallies.
- It's a big gamble with real public health implications — but so far he has fewer and softer paths to 270 electoral votes.
- Biden said no to super-spreader events and has stuck with fewer, smaller, socially distanced stops. He still holds the edge in most polls.
