Jill Biden campaigned in New Hampshire Friday, hours after President Trump announced he'd tested positive for COVID-19.
In Durham, where Biden met with an oyster farmer, reporters were asked to wear a second face mask and keep their social distance.

Laura Brown owns and runs Fox Point Oysters. She shared the economic challenges she's faced over the past year, while Biden told her to hold tight until Election Day.
"I try to look at the bright side every time, but it’s been a long year,” she told Biden.
“Yeah,” Biden replied. “Well, hopefully things are going to get better for you … on November 3rd.”
The wife of Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden was highlighting Biden’s “Build Back Better” economic plan during the campaign swing.
