Biden’s low-key campaign style worries some Democrats

The final stretch of a presidential campaign is typically a nonstop mix of travel, caffeine and adrenaline. But as the worst pandemic in a century bears down on the United States, Joe Biden is taking a lower key approach.

Since his Aug. 11 selection of California Sen. Kamala Harris as his running mate, Biden has had 22 days where he either didn’t make public appearances, held only virtual fundraisers or ventured from his Delaware home solely for church, according to an Associated Press analysis of his schedules. He made 12 visits outside of Delaware during that period, including Friday when he went to Washington and paid respects to the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

During the same time, President Donald Trump had 24 trips that took him to 17 different states, not counting a personal visit to New York to see his ailing brother in the hospital or weekend golf outings. He was hitting Florida, Georgia, Virginia and the nation’s capital on Friday alone.

Biden’s aides insist his approach is intentional, showcasing his respect for public health guidelines aimed at preventing the spread of the coronavirus and presenting a responsible contrast with Trump, who has resumed large-scale campaign rallies — sometimes over the objections of local officials. Still, some Democrats say it’s critical that Biden infuse his campaign with more energy.

The guy is a walking, talking, blathering, gaffe cloud. He’s anything but low key. More like high risk.

If it were any lower key they would be holding a mirror to his nose and mouth to see if he fogs them.

You have 1 guy and his campaign just working like crazy to get people to get out to vote...you have another guy who you barely know he’s in the race ...they must really think the country has soured on Donald to the point where he doesn’t even need to campaign...this seems like 2016 is going to repeat itself again

So AP is now able to write a story about the obvious and it takes 3 writers to do the story. They must be agonizing over every word while stating the obvious, to do as little damage as possible for their candidate. They are only talking about it, hoping that it will make it a non-story.

How about “No key”! I figure that must be lower than “low key.”

“I just think Biden is declining,” said Democrat Rep. Tim Ryan. “I don’t think he has the energy. You see it almost daily.”

Yep. Obama ran a great campaign. Hillary and Joe are not using his playbook. I suspect whoever wins the Democratic Party nomination in 2024 will use his playbook and be an effective campaigner.

Rush was thinking that very thing today — they must think it is in the bag and they don’t want to risk anything.
