President Donald Trump on Tuesday defended holding large rallies despite the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, while his rival Joe Biden accused him of risking people’s health.

Asked during the debate why he’s holding the events, Trump said, “Because people want to hear what I have to say. I’m doing a great job as president and I'll have 25, 35,000 people show up at airports.”
