President Donald Trump has returned to the campaign trail less than two weeks after testing positive for coronavirus.
Thousands gathered at an outdoor rally in Sanford, Florida, where a defiant Mr Trump made the first of four planned campaign stops over the next four days in battleground states.
The president and rival Joe Biden are scrambling to secure votes with three weeks until the 3 November election.
On Monday Mr Biden spoke in Ohio, another swing state.
Polling suggests Mr Biden has a 10-point lead over Mr Trump nationally.
However, his lead in some key states is narrower - as is the case in Florida, where he is 3.7 points ahead, according to an average of polls collated by Real Clear Politics.
Battlegrounds like the "Sunshine State" are crucial for gathering the 270 electoral college votes needed to win the White House, which is not determined by a simple popular ballot count.
Mr Trump tested positive for Covid-19 some 11 days ago and was admitted to Walter Reed Medical Center a day later.
But on Sunday his personal doctor said he was no longer a Covid transmission risk to others and disclosed on Monday that his most recent tests were negative over consecutive days, although he did not give the dates.
The Trump campaign team are throwing everything at Florida - a loss here makes his return to the White House near impossible.
Over the weekend, his eldest son Donald Trump Jr concluded his Florida bus tour, "Fighters Against Socialism" - a pitch primarily aimed at Hispanic voters.
A little over 100 people from Venezuelan, Puerto Rican and Vietnamese backgrounds sitting shoulder to shoulder, some masked, watched Mr Trump Jr's speech in Orlando.
He was joined by Cuban-American fighter Jorge Masvidal, who is a big star here.
Vice-President Mike Pence recently visited "The Villages" a famous retirement home to turn out the elderly vote.
But though the president and some of his supporters here seem relaxed about coronavirus, it has hit Florida hard, with more than 15,000 deaths.
Democratic rival Joe Biden arrives here on Tuesday.
His team are focusing on the administration's handling of the pandemic and plan to carry out a quieter but vigorous campaign in key suburban areas which they hope will help flip the state blue.
