After months of avoiding direct contact with voters because of the pandemic, Joe Biden’s campaign is about to launch in-person canvassing efforts across several battleground states.
The decision comes amid growing concern from Democratic officials on the ground in key states who fear that Biden has been giving a significant advantage to President Donald Trump and his Republican allies, who have been aggressively courting voters at their doorsteps for months. The reversal also reflects a sense of rising urgency as polls tighten in key states just a month before Election Day.

The Biden campaign is about 4 months late to a ground game.
Biden campaign is panicking. So much for that virtual ground game...
“After pandemic delay, Biden launching in-person canvassing”
Title of the article should be:
Biden fearing a “ground game” loss, launching in-person canvassing
AZ deadline also Oct 5th.
I live in NY, so I doubt any of Biden’s disciples will be canvassing around here. But Zelden’s Marxist opponent will probably send her minions. Doubt they’ll knock on my door, though. I have Old Glory, the POW/MIA flag and the Gadsden flag all proudly flying every day. American flags are like cryptonite to leftists.
“It’s just harder and harder to get people on the phone,” said Patrick Sullivan, a Biden volunteer who lives in suburban Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. “So being able to go to someone’s door and talk to them makes a big difference.”
You mean people don’t answer their phone if they don’t recognize person via Caller ID? Shocked.
I hope he has more than 10 people that are paid to be at his “rallies”.
I would think it takes time to ramp up a ground game.
Launching today probably means a couple of weeks to get sizeable people in the streets.
one of the effects of Sleepy Joe losing the debate, his ‘base’ is demoralized and divided
if they were winning, they wouldn’t be trying to build a ground game now.
Urgency or PANIC
“if they were winning, they wouldn’t be trying to build a ground game now.”
And in those particular states, what’s her name won Nevada and NH last time, you would think Joe has them in the bag. Isn’t he up by a billion points in PA? etc.
building a ground game is expensive - watch where Sleepy Joe spends his money
e.g. in MI, he has no field offices.
Is the Biden campaign just a media / swamp construct?
“Biden campaign is panicking. So much for that virtual ground game”
absolutely ... it’s AP bullshit that the “pandemic” had anything to do with it ... biden’s campaign announced months ago that they were not going to have a ground game and would campaign only virtually and digitally ...
personally, i think they did this because the lazy, incompetent morons running his campaigns didn’t want to undertake the hard work (and the expense) of building and running a national ground campaign ...
now, of course, they’re panicking at the last minute (exactly like Hillary did in 2016 with her concerts), and will attempt to put together a national effort in just a few days that the Trump campaign has already spent over four years developing ...
“Is the Biden campaign just a media / swamp construct?”
i’ve believed for a long time that the biden campaign wasn’t a real campaign and was nothing but two billion dollars worth of TV ads ... multiple examples abound that everything but the TV ads is a sham ... just look at the pathetic venues (like a liquor store parking lot) where Jill and Joe appear, with essentially zero advance work and “crowds” or 3-16 people, the car “rallies” with three cars, and the “whistle-stop” train tour where a dozen supporters greet biden at each stop ...
