Joe Biden is relying on Americans being sick of Donald Trump, a state of affairs which would make a butcher's block of red-meat rallies counterproductive for the president.
WASHINGTON - - Democrats have a counterintuitive plan for the final week of the presidential campaign: more Donald Trump, less Joe Biden.
As the president ramps up his barnstorming tour between now and next Tuesday's election, Biden's markedly lighter schedule looks like that of an incumbent congressman who has no opponent. The Democratic nominee took Monday off entirely, while Trump held rallies across Pennsylvania - in Allentown, Lancaster and Martinsburg.
If Trump wins, Biden will surely face recriminations from within his party for sitting on a lead. But Republicans seem more eager than Democrats to get Biden out on the trail, an indication that his four-corners strategy is perceived by both parties as a smart tack.
"He's waved a white flag on life," Trump said Monday in response to Biden charging that the president has surrendered the fight against the coronavirus. "This guy doesn't leave his basement."
Trump wants Biden to appear more often. Meanwhile, many Democrats are thrilled that Trump is holding more of his signature campaign rallies. They routinely highlight his most pugnacious tendencies. They also remind voters who don't attend them that Trump's focus on personal squabbles is virtually unlimited, while his focus on the coronavirus pandemic is sharply limited.

De Nile is not just a river in Egypt.
Joe Biden can't remember what office he is running for and who he is running against.
So the loons at NBC have decided...campaigning for votes = BAD, and not campaigning = GOOD. Go figure.
Kinda like another stretch run between a machine and a sham.

Hide the geezer!
What would I do without all the NBC and AP stories on FR?
Sheesh...what a pant load.
Biden is better off in the basement.
Every time he opens his mouth he loses votes.
The phrases ass backwards comes to mind
No one ever won an election for president from hiding in a basement and just doing TV ads. Not in America, not anywhere.
Worked so well for Hillary........./s
The ChiComs will be demanding their money back due to the PPoor level of fake news like this.
NBC, I wonder how you’ve adopted ruinous-political-strategies and tactics against your own candidate? Let me give you a clue. God.
Let’s see how that works out for them, shall we?
Yes this is really whistling past the graveyard. It ignores that ultimately, culture is upstream of politics, and American culture 2020 version, is sick and tired of democrat-style weasels trying to fear and shame them into submission. This adolescent “writer” ignores for example the fact there is a measurable anti-catastrophe vote out there, and it grows every day we get Covid disaster wall to wall on the Evening news.

You left out CNN and NySlimes!
Actually I read recently that the winner of the 1900 election (McKinley) had Biden’s strategy. The winner stayed in his basement and won. But he also had VP Teddy Roosevelt out campaigning.
So I’d say. . .Harris is no Roosevelt.
Still, once in a while this basement strategy can work. Maybe McKinley was going senile too and had to hide it to win.
Joe Biden is just following Obama’s lead. No press conferences.
Mr Invisible doesn’t want to be held accountable for nothing.

The media is doing the campaigning for Biden, so he doesn’t have to.
I wish Trump would correlate Biden hiding in his basement to what will he do during a national crisis.
we need another Peace Little Girl type commercial. Instead of a nuclear bomb, maybe images of him hiding basement while cities burn. Or maybe China launching nuclear missiles might not be bad.
