Biden seeks transition to general election campaign

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

When Joe Biden transitions to the general election in the coming days, he'll have to run his campaign during the thick of the coronavirus pandemic.

"There is no playbook for this time, no best laid plans, nothing," said one longtime ally who's in touch with the campaign. "He needs to figure out the best way to navigate these strange waters at a time when he can't do what he does best, which is connect with people."

In the age of the elbow bump and social distancing, Biden can't hold traditional campaign rallies, large fundraisers, or linger with crowds holding court as he's been known to do. For the coming weeks - and maybe even months - it will be a virtual campaign. And that's what scares his supporters most.

"When Biden can't be Biden, we have a problem," the ally said.

1. I believe Joe will handle this just fine.

A man of many talents.

[Mr.Bill]

2. Biden connects with me

and I doubt I've ever been within 100 miles of him.

Trust me, no rallies is a far bigger handicap for Trump than it is for Biden.

3. Agreed!

Trump may have a breakdown without those raucous rallies of adoration. He feeds off them.

5. Exactly!

Trump lives for that adoration!

I think they're overstating the problem for Biden. Look at that last debate with just Joe and Bernie; Joe did just fine with no audience.

4. Same here! I've never been to one of his rallies and my enthusiasm isn't dampened at all!

You go Joe...the American people/voters love and support!

You’ll be fine

6. Not "scared".. Hopeful that Biden will be President.

7. Both of Joe's rivals thrive on rally's. Which are in the past.

Trump is trying to turn his daily virus pressers into rally’s but it is falling flat.

Joe will just continue to be steady, reliable Joe.

8. It IS General Election time ... the primaries are over.

9. Maybe 'the ally' should keep quiet.

Biden will be Biden.
