Why is Biden in Delaware this weekend instead of vacationing along the MI, NC or WI coasts?

With less than four months to go until the election and needing to make up some ground, why is Biden at home in Delaware this weekend instead of spending it vacationing along the great lake coasts in either Michigan or Wisconsin or along the Atlantic coast in North Carolina?

He needs to be out in public, mixing it up with the locals like he loves to do. He's at his best when he is interacting with typical Americans. I'm sure the locals would love to have him around for a couple of days enjoying their hospitality. Yeah, a relaxing weekend at home is always nice. I just think it is more important for him to be someplace where he can both unwind and mingle with critical swing state voters to remind them why he is the best candidate for the job.

Too much is too much.

Rest between sets of exercise.

Conserve your strength for the finish.

Don't do a debate after international travel with jet lag.

Be smart.

Etc.

and dew points in the low 70%'s, with a heat index of 105 predicted for Sunday. No one should be at the beach here this weekend unless they want brain damage.

To do what’s best as he has done for this country. He has the campaign experience. I know I do not.
