Biden shared a stage with Trump in Cleveland, Ohio, during the first presidential debate.
The 77-year-old has regularly clashed with Trump over his use of masks.

Biden chose not to wear a mask during the debate or during an appearance at Case Western Reserve University.
The debate was held in line with Covid-19 guidelines and overseen by medical staff.
