Joe Biden will no longer travel to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to accept the Democratic presidential nomination due to concerns over coronavirus
Biden will instead accept the Democratic nomination for president from his home state of Delaware, according to the Democratic National Convention Committee."From the very beginning of this pandemic, we put the health and safety of the American people first. We followed the science, listened to doctors and public health experts, and we continued making adjustments to our plans in order to protect lives. That's the kind of steady and responsible leadership America deserves.
"The fear of community spread in Milwaukee, with media, production teams and party officials was just getting to be too much," a senior Democratic official told CNN."We don't want to risk anyone's health for this."The change in locations for Biden's speech is the most significant change, along with his running mate. The vice presidential nominee will deliver a speech from a location to be determined after she is selected, the party official said.
