President Donald Trump addressed thousands at a mid-day rally outside Raymond James Stadium. Later, Vice President Joe Biden held an evening drive-in campaign event at the Florida State Fairgrounds.

Keeping a 6-foot distance wasn't an option for the thousands of Trump supporters crowded together in the stadium parking lot and cheering for the president to win a second term.
Red "Make America Great Again" hats were in abundance. Masks, on the other hand were few and far between.
