FILE - In this July 28, 2020 file photo, Democratic presidential candidate former Vice President Joe Biden speaks at a campaign event at the William "Hicks" Anderson Community Center in Wilmington, Del. Biden will not travel to Milwaukee to accept Democratic presidential nomination. Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden will not travel to Milwaukee to accept his party’s White House nomination because of concerns over the coronavirus.

That’s according to a Democrat with knowledge of the decision who spoke to The Associated Press on Wednesday on condition of anonymity to discuss planning. The move is the latest example of the pandemic’s sweeping effects on the 2020 presidential election and the latest blow to traditional party nominating conventions that historically have marked the start of fall general election campaigns.

He’ll continue to hide in basement

BretBaier

He can’t travel because not being able to hold his pee is messy.

Bad excuse..hold it in whatever city BidensHiden, Potus would go there. If he can’t leave his basement, he can’t function as Potus - as we already know.

He can’t hide forever.

let him self isolate forever. robinwilliams❤️

What’s the point, Biden will bring back CDC to China what’s the difference

What no teleprompter......

Good. It shows common sense.

BretBaier Are you kidding me. So you’re saying that he won’t travel to Washington if he wins too? Pathetic

Maybe he can conduct his whole presidency (until they incapacitate him for dementia, see Amendment 25) from his basement?

He couldn’t find it.........

Didn’t you hear? Biden saw his shadow. He’s stuck in hiding for another 100 days.

BretBaier

Hiden-Biden, the new demo campaign.

That's fine - he isn't going to win anyway.

Hiden Biden ain't going nowhere

Actually a wise think to do. A Trump rally in Tulsa was deadly

BretBaier Americans don’t run and hide. We fight. Is this the kind of leader we want?

BREAKING: Joe Biden will not be President either.

BretBaier Well what if he wins the election? Will he govern the country from his basement? I wonder who will read his inauguration speech for him? Exciting times ahead.

BretBaier Bunker Biden

He can’t find the bathroom without help. His wife should be ashamed of what the Democrats are doing to her husband. This farce has to be stopped. Everyone knows whomever he picks as VP is going to be our next President if he were to somehow win this election. Disgusting

*dementia concerns 👴🏻

enoreikaTV Is he still hiding in the basement

He is dead, and only exists virtually.

Bullshit it's because they can't take a chance on him speaking in public uhhh ahhh harry legs uhhhh ooooo aaaa snake in my bed hummmmm you know the thing uhhh red bird in tree uhhh a dog barked iiiiiii was VP to uhhh O you know his name🤦‍♂️there gonna keep him locked in a basement

Joe if he wins may be the first President to go from the inauguration to the White House and invoke the 25th Amendment and go out the back door to his basement. We may be electing the Vice Presidential candidate for President.

BretBaier No surprise.

OMG, he’s literally not going to do any major televised event. He will most likely refuse to debate in person as well. This is truly a remarkably whacky time. People are being hoodwinked by the DNC. And they just might get away with it.

not much of a man is he!

Accepting from a library would be nice or a theater.

Because he can’t. You people are actually cruel to even think he has the capacity to stand at a podium and make any sense. What a joke.

Good move

Maybe its because every law enforcement agency has elected not to protect the racist alt-left anti-American liberals who demonize them call the traitors, the enemy, an occupying force. Now the sniveling crybabies want the cops help. They can figure it out themselves.

BretBaier Baloney.

Joes ducking Trump

BretBaier Why not wear his mask? It will protect him!

HE WONT ATTEND THE CONVENTION GEE WHO COULD HAVE SEEN THAT COMING

BretBaier Will anyone else be there? If yes, so disrespectful like Hillary refusing to address her supportes at the Javits center 4 yrs ago.

Quid Pro Joe

BretBaier Coronavirus my ass.

if Biden loses in Nov, the only rage riots that should happen should be against the DNC for being incapable of finding a real leader.

Creepy Joe Biden.

BretBaier I’m guessing he just forgot he was running for President and couldn’t figure out why he would want to go to Milwaukee.

BretBaier Can’t wait for fox to stop relying on AP

Can we just move him into the White House today

It’s because he doesn’t know where Milwaukee is

Makes perfect sense. Even my company is smart enough to cut travel during the pandemic.

Anyone with half a brain understands he can’t risk tough questions, debating or making a speech at the convention. He has severe cognitive issues.

No need to. It’s the 21st Century. We can stream him from anywhere.

BretBaier Let’s be honest, the coronavirus is the least of his concerns.

He has no clue where he is right now anyway

Corona or Dementia?

Tough getting away from the basement room and the spike, eh JoeBiden ? AreYouAJunkie

Trump is an idiot ... no doubt but Biden is a bastardised first politicising the covid crisis we in the US ... I feel sorry for the citizens of the US for having to choose between the deplorable and despicable!!

BretBaier JoeBiden appears to be mentally compromised making voters nervous. Must take a cognitive test.

This means that he’s already made more intelligent decisions than Donald Trump in the past 3 1/2 years.

LisaMarieBoothe democrats in inauguration day be like: And here's Joe Biden!

Why this season's antagonist is China, according to American elites.

BretBaier and mental status. Not mentioned.

Why does America elect geriatrics? Theres a point in time where retirement is essential. Im talking about both of them. Do better America, look at NKorea, they have a virile youthful leader....

Why would he go? Lol. How is this news?

BretBaier How can he lead , when he can’t leave his basement. He’s a joke

BretBaier Campaigning bunker style.

BretBaier Of course he won't. This like Weekend at Bernies.

BretBaier What BS! How is this guy going to be President then? Watch, I'll bet he gets out of the debates somehow. Maybe blame the coronavirus for that to

Well then, nominate Bernie! Bernie2020

Not the reason!

BretBaier Maybe you can take your 90% of scum liberal panels with you to his house Baier?

Joe Biden will address the nation from his basement.... That a surprise we didnt see coming. What a joke he is . Joe the basement puppet... No wonder why China wants him to win......

That’s cause he has dementia

What the dnc private jet isn’t safe? How will you run the country from your basement?

BretBaier If Biden wins, he will never move into the WH either. His VP will move in and Biden will be institutionalized in California.

BretBaier Just stay in the basement JoeBiden

BretBaier I wonder if he will travel to DC if he wins, or just Obama move back in. Oh, no. That won't happen. Obama is moving into the Supreme Court building just waiting to destroy the Judicial Branch like he did the Executive Branch.

Funny that he didn’t have those concerns when he and Symone Sanders were lying about it being safe for people to go and vote in the middle of a pandemic.

To busy with smelling his way around

It’s amazing how many troll accounts there are on this thread.

Joe Biden, a man of the people. Except, he really shouldn't go out in public, be seen by anyone, do scripted interviews, read from a teleprompter, be photographed, debate, tweet or be more than 3 feet from his wife. He's resting comfortably in a 'Am I Prez yet?' snuggie.

Ok, let's get someone better to accept it. Biden will not get the job done, he can't even make it through a speech.

Back to the basement.

Pffft.O K..

Pretty lame he doesn’t go? Biden wants to be the President? 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️ Not a good choice at ALL!!

Would still like to hear him speak...if he can get it together

Guess he’ll just have to stay home then if by some miracle he is elected president.

Smart. He’s highlighting his leadership via ability to meet the seriousness of the moment. Calm + rational = Dem candy. The optics are good: Joe doesn’t need validation. He doesn’t need flag humping propaganda. He’s secure in his abilities. He’s got a wicked smart team.

So let’s say he wins. Is he never going to travel anywhere to do the work of a President? If he’s that fearful of getting sick he cannot do this job. What a sham. Just nominate his VP and let the poor man retire.

BretBaier People go to work everyday.... JoeBiden who wants to run for the highest office on land can’t make it to the nomination

Bet he uses that excuse to not debate Trump.

Will the person(s) who write his Tweets go instead?

Cognitively impaired

😂 Coward's gonna govern in the WH bunker. Also, if true, then same cowardly excuse for not debating the other coward Republican. But yea, YOU go vote in person 🙄 FvckEmAll

More like concern that he will be outed as mentally insufficient for public office.

BretBaier

Or is it cause of the rioting?

Good for Joe.

Why didn’t delay voting and do vote from home? Is Biden’s life more precious than the 150,000? Some of those had to have been people going to vote.

The same guy who urged people to go out and vote during a pandemic. Lol

Bunker Biden 😂

ronflatter Also he doesn't know how to get there and back

AND, because the Stair Lifter has yet to be installed in the basement

Huh. A responsible adult making grown up decisions. Weird.

'Make sure you get out there in-person and vote though.'

BretBaier He is afraid of his own shadow

This picture reminds me of this.... 😂😂😂😂

He should get to do it from the white house lawn. If its good for Trump its good for Biden!

Worthless and weak. HollowJpe

BretBaier Paralyzed with fear.

Why not, it's going away.

Funny. He had no trouble sending my wife (immune deficiency in her lungs) and I (congestive heart failure) out to vote in the middle of this mess.

He’s hiding out because he’s losing his mind and DNC doesn’t want it to get out. Unfit to lead this country is Biden.

But I thought wearing a mask made everything cool. No?

But really senility.

BretBaier can someone tell me what the Dems have planned. They know he cannot be President....... If mail in ballots take several months to come in does that make Nancy President until they are figured out.....They do nothing without a reason

This is all just a show to get Trump re-elected. Republicans and Democrats are in fact the same puppets for the bankster elites. Look how much Americans are hating each other today- divide and conquer at it’s best.

Does it matter where he accepts the nomination from? I didn’t think so.

Good, we need a leader who’s actions don’t put others in danger.

Cocofritz Why should he go. Their going to replace him anyway. Get a clue Peeps 😉

You could put this clown in a square room with a door in each wall and he still couldn't find his way out. Lost and you want this guy to be president from where his home basement?

Just setting himself up to not do the debates.

I’m all for doing everything we can but when the nomination wasn’t locked up coronavirus didn’t seem to matter.

coward. prob gonna be a giant bitch and wuss out on the debates

BretBaier Weak

Yeah, suuuure that’s why.

I assume this is why:

They can't control his dementia as well on the road

Voters don't HAVE to vote for either Idiotic Oligarchic Puppet. If Progressives vote GreenPartyUS Corporatists vote DNC Conservatives vote LPNational TrumPets vote GOP Then the Duopoly sees you won't vote for them and you retain your power.

He'll be hiding in his basement to avoid showing America that he has dementia.

It's almost like Biden is behaving like a responsible adult.

Can he just not be nominated? Thanks.

Coronavirus will still be a threat if he becomes president. If he's afraid to travel for a few days, how do we expect him to run the country?

'As I accept this nomination, I want to send a special shout-out to the moops.' - Joe Biden

And he might get lost

I agree 100%. Leave the glitter and show biz BS to the non-mask wearing Republicans. They know much more about deception, military parades, ratings, crowds and lies than the Democrats. Let them parade their Coronavirus failures anywhere they want, they are the real losers.

I'm sure cognitive decline has nothing to do with it...

BretBaier

I totally agree with this move, stay home please, we can't afford to allow you to get sick.

Joe said it was safe to vote in the primaries.

Replace him, for Fucks Sake! Is he dying?

BretBaier Furious Chinese in USA cheat for unemployment benefits while they work now

Democrats literally hiding him away lol.

His handlers can keep him from groping women and children. Trump's handlers can't keep him from being narcissistic. Neither should be President of the U.S., but there is no other option.

BretBaier This is a preview if Biden becomes president he will hide in the White House and just phone it or Skype it in ,he will be a no show

I think he needs to be more concerned about dementia.

I feel like he could get there without coming in contact with that many people. Probably saving his energy for the debates, which will he must watch TV.

I don't think he really wants to be President. I think he just wants Trump *not* to be President. I guess in that he is probably a mirror for the nation.

Can he run the country from his basement?

BretBaier

Joe, can you give me a chance to vote for you by doing some live interviews and let my see and hear from you directly. This is my right and your duty to do so. If you refuse to do live interviews and debates with Trump, you are disqualified to run this race and no vote for you.

So if the virus is still around in January, he won’t go to his inauguration?

Sad

NewsRadio930 It’s to keep him from stiffing and groping.

BretBaier I thought masks work.

basement2020

Because he gets very confused outside of his basement

BretBaier HidenBiden So weak, so corrupt and soooo demented!

Stream the acceptance speech Joe.

Because they don't want him talking in person, I'm 100% sure he doesn't even run his own Twitter account

Ah yes. This post really brought out the crazies. Was not disappointed.

BretBaier Hidin’ Biden!

BretBaier Biden won't show up for anythin. If by chance he wins the presidency, someone other than him will be taking over America. All Americans should be concerned about the underhanded tactics of Democrats to tear this country down, to do away with democracy.

BretBaier Joe’s planning on the White House being moved to his basement if he wins.

Maybe he can still send his wife like he did to a fox interview Too 3embarrassed to show his face anywhere in front of reporters Might ask him questions he can’t answer A Fox station in the city! Will they reimburse all hotels for all revenue they have now LOST 3 times cancelled!

I don't blame Joe one bit, he needs to stay safe. 💙 Biden2020 🇺🇲

BretBaier ...yep, because of the Coronavirus. Ok...

Can we get Bernie to go instead?

sundene Good, I would rather the future president not get sick.

SILVER ALERT! SenileJoe won't even accept the presidential nomination because his handlers are afraid he'll show his rapid cognitive decline!

Actually Mr Booker would do it too.

Don’t you have to be present to win?

LucidFoxx more like hes deathly afraid to speak in public.

We should just postpone the election until this Wuhan Virus scare goes away...... 😁

BretBaier More like they dont want him in the publics eye to see ho bad his dementia really is. Bet he will not do a debate either, 40+ yrs sucking up tax payers money doing nothing but making money for himself and his family. Besides Jeff wants his dummy back.

He should accept in his backyard just like Trump plans to do.

BretBaier He couldn't find Milwaukee.

BretBaier Breaking News::: This just in... Joe Biden will let his VP run the country Due To Covid-19.

Campaigning for top job arguably on the planet and wont leave his basement, Youcognitive be honest, it’s cognitive challenges. Voted since 80s not fond of any candidates, if honest, Biden not capable. When is HRC coming to steal the spotlight as VP bill said copresident anyway

I had to change my party to Green Peace because Joe Biden is NOT qualify for President!! He does not give a straight answer!!

Really is “Weekend at Bernies”. What a joke.

Is this guy for real? Amazing.

Sure wasn't worried about corona at that funeral he went to....

They can nominate him in his basement.

“Look Joe! It’s your favorite squirrel at the feeder today! I know how happy he makes you. Oh dear... it appears you’ve had another accident. Let’s get you cleaned up for dinner. I hear there’s tapioca pudding for dessert tonight!”

Me fellow apples and root cast members

How will he travel the world as President? The idiocy.

BretBaier I can see it now. He will not debate because of concerns of coronavirus

BretBaier Blarney! No law enforcement will protect them.

Yeah, Hillary didn't bother to travel much either when she was campaigning. Cool.

BretBaier We DESERVE to know TheTruthAboutJoe

What

Smart.

BretBaier

Doesn’t matter. He will step down after the election. They want someone else but need Biden name recognition and ties to Obama to win. Whoever he picks as VP will be president. How many people got Covid after Trump rally’s? Solid move Joe

health officials in Wisconsin informed the DNC that speakers for the convention should not be traveling to Wisconsin. Maybe you should report that.

Joe Hiden

Smart!

Face masks, goggles, shields. You can 'decorate them'! Let's see you all in Milwaukee! Face masks, goggles, shields......

BretBaier The virus has become an escapist alibi.

Sounds like the sensible thing to do under the circumstances.

BretBaier 😳😂😂😂😂

He probably shouldn't. He brain is broken.

Dems will insist that any Presidential debates will have to held virtually. That way they can blame gaffes on internet problems and cut away anytime to avoid issues and give Joe answers. This is step one in the process.

I heard he crapped his adult diapers again.

“Because of concerns he might reveal his advanced dementia”. There. Fixed it for you.

Wow! That’s weak ... we need a strong leader. trump2020 🇺🇸

We’ve all learned the art of zoom meetings. Debates shouldn’t be a problem 🤣

His rapid cognitive decline is tough to watch. Shame on his wife for putting him through this. He’s not physically able to travel with his dementia. Crazy.

Smart man...

But we see him travel for other photo ops. If it is safe enough for that, it is safe enough for a convention. Limiting people inside would work. No excuse. The people deal with risk daily, 'others' can also.

BretBaier He is the Democrats only hope!! 😂

we need him healthy, beloved

DumpTrump

Smart. Now is not the time to risk infection.

BretBaier It’s Monday, August 3, 2020. Joe Biden has had 44 years and failed AMERICA! Expect 3 things from Joe Biden! Lies. Promises and more Lies! Being a pathological liar most of his 44 years in politics, he is also mentally incapacitated, and everyone knows it.

BretBaier LetJoeBidenTalk

Smart man

Millions of people are working. We all know the reason. How embarrassing

Im worry

BretBaier Stay in the basement Joe, it’s your best strategy.

Keep Joe safe! AMERICA NEEDS HIM!

JoeBiden Joe accepting the nomination in a MEMORIALIZED public place like Lafayette Park or BLM Plaza, would be priceless. He only needs a gathering permit from the DC mayor... Great promo for his inaugural parade. (travel by private train car to DC 😉)

BretBaier Right🙄 And he’s getting away with crap!

Cause he can't stand in front of a crowd and speak without handlers, teleprompters, written notes and someone to nudge him when he starts going off on a tangent.

But, I thought masks worked? 🧐

The rumors are true. Nothing but jelly beans upstairs!

And trump will deliver his acceptance speech from the White House.

BretBaier Why travel when you can stay in your basement and talk to the wall...

Because he probably can't walk anymore

Or because..

Basement Boy!!!

He’s still trying to remember what he’s running for.

Joe is in decline and needs someone else to be the nominee

Can’t remember how to get there?

I am sure its concerns over him completing a sentence not the virus.

GOOD GOING JOE !!! MY PRESIDENT !!! SMART MAN !!!

Leadership by example is refreshing.

I don't blame him. It can all be done on a screen. That's how we all are living. RIDIN WITH BIDEN!

'concerns over the coronavirus.' Uh huh. AreYouAJunkie

We don’t need him sick

Epic Failure.

And for no other reason whatsoever?

Cancel debates! Let realDonaldTrump destroy himself

Biden doesn't know he's the nominee. Sad!

. . .and, the risk of making a fool out of himself again.

Smart move! Why travel when it isn’t necessary?

That state is one of the worst states for covid-19!

As long as he’s at the debates!

Here is realDonaldTrump Campaign’s plan: Confuse as many Black Voters as possible in key states like Wisconsin and make them vote for kanyewest; Democrats must do a better job at educating people that a vote for Kanye is a vote for Trump!

What a responsible leader would do

good on him, maybe he should do it from the Rose Garden

He already has it along with hiv

Smart. I miss smart.

Probably a good idea.

Can this guy leave his basement for anything Weak!
