Joe Biden has adopted a strategy that would be unthinkable for a candidate in any ordinary year: He’s largely staying off the campaign trail.
In the homestretch of a presidential campaign in the shadow of a once-in-a-century pandemic, Joe Biden has adopted a strategy that would be unthinkable for a candidate in any ordinary year: He’s largely forgoing big campaign rallies.
In contrast to President Trump, who has portrayed the country as “rounding the curve” on the pandemic, Biden’s messaging since last week’s final debate has been far more gloomy. Instead of large campaign rallies, Biden, citing the need to keep from worsening the pandemic, has kept personal appearances in public to a minimum. He has given speeches in parking lots, where supporters listen to him from inside their cars. Unlike Trump, Biden doesn’t sign baseball hats or T-shirts and toss them back into the crowd. Every movement on the trail for Biden seems designed to impart the seriousness of the pandemic, while Trump has done the opposite.
"He’s locked in his basement; they put the lid on. The lid on the garbage can,” Trump said Monday in Lititz, Pa., adding,"He’s leaving to make a speech. In Delaware, that’s where he always does it, about three minutes from his house."
