The Political Week in Photos

President Donald Trump wore a face mask for the first time during a photo opportunity since the Covid-19 crisis began as the U.S. experienced a surge in cases, including a new state death record set by Florida.

In Hong Kong, voters rushed to cast ballots during the city’s opposition primaries before September Legislative Council elections, while Polish President Andrzej Duda won a second term, giving his governing allies more time to transform the country along a nationalist ideology that has clashed with the European Union’s democratic values.

These were among the topics of this week’s most compelling political images.
