Donald Trump returned to the campaign trail Monday for the first time since contracting the coronavirus as he tries to stage a late comeback in the election’s final stretch.

Mr Trump, whose doctor said on Monday for the first time the president had received a negative test for Covid-19, faces a stubborn deficit in national and battleground state polling.
