Joe Biden to soon campaign in person in US battleground states

On August 27, US’ democratic Presidential nominee Joe Biden announced in the press that he will campaign in person in swing states, as previously compared to relying on virtual platform due to the coronavirus pandemic. The former US Vice President who represented Delaware in the US Senate for 36 years, said that the primary tour in these battleground states will commence post Labour Day. Biden described himself as a “tactile politician” who thrives on private interplay and revealed that he would campaign in Wisconsin, Minnesota, will head to Pennsylvania, and Arizona in person, however, will do it in an accountable and responsible way around September 7. 

As per US media reports, the democratic nomination rival Bernie Sanders and President Donald Trump had suspended the in-person campaign earlier in March. A spokesman for the Trump campaign confirmed that the President Donald Trump’s campaign and the Republican National Committee would conduct virtual gatherings instead and use digital platform for fundraisers. An RNC spokesperson was quoted saying that the Republican National Committee will stick to direct mail in order to remain connected with the donors, according to reports. Spokesman for the Trump campaign, Tim Murtaugh, reportedly said that while Trump and RNC would hold “the strongest” operation in presidential history, the unmatched data and digital operation makes the committee uniquely equipped to sustain a digital fundraising operation. The team was temporarily suspending in-person fundraising events, he further informed, at a press conference.

The 77-year-old former vice president was reported saying that President Trump was "virtually throwing every major rule in the dustbin.” He further called out Trump for “tradition-busting speech” on the South Lawn of the White House at the Republican Convention in presence of nearly 1,500 attenders. "He's totally irresponsible,” Biden said at a presser. Meanwhile, speaking during a virtual fundraising event, Biden said that his campaign would meet communities and local businesses but would not hold "irresponsible rallies”, launching attack on Trump’s large rallies in recent months despite COVID-19.
