Joe Biden Eyes Gradual Return to the Campaign Trail
BloombergJoe Biden’s emergence from his house on Memorial Day was a test run for for his return to the traditional campaigning that he thrives on -- minus the handshakes, hugs and backslapping -- as virus lockdowns ease around the country.
Biden has stayed at home for more than two months, holding campaign events and media appearances from a basement studio, in keeping with health experts’ guidance.
The timing of his basement exit would be propitious for Biden as President Donald Trump’s re-election effort continues to reel from the shaky coronavirus response and a souring economy with more than 40 million people unemployed. As Trump pushes Americans -- including Biden -- to come out of their homes, Biden’s natural affinity for campaigning could draw a sharp distinction.
On the increasingly politicized issue of wearing protective gear, Biden has made a pointed contrast with Trump, who has flouted local laws and skipped wearing personal protective equipment on his official and campaign stops, which resumed a few weeks ago.
