Joe Biden will campaign from home, while President Donald Trump is still planning to travel, despite warnings to shelter in place.
“Voters don’t give a s―- about where he’s filming from,” campaign manager Jen O’Malley Dillon told The Associated Press. “What they care about is what he’s saying and how we connect with them.”“The idea that somehow we are being hurt by my keeping to the rules and following the instructions that been put forward by doctors is absolutely bizarre,” he told ABC’s “Good Morning America.”
Obama allies David Plouffe and David Axelrod wrote in a recent New York Times op-ed that Biden’s home studios resemble “an astronaut beaming back to earth from the International Space Station.” They encouraged Biden to make wider use of platforms from Facebook and Twitter to Snapchat, Instagram and TikTok.
House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn of South Carolina, a close Biden friend whose endorsement helped spur his run of primary victories, said he’s “very worried” about Democrats building a voter turnout operation that balances in-person voting with absentee balloting.“His job is to be the candidate,” Clyburn said.
Clyburn argued there’s been a turnaround, especially in fundraising. “Winning is a great tonic,” he said.
