CHICAGO — Joe Biden’s presidential campaign has canceled events planned for here on Friday, including two high-profile fundraisers and a public rally, in the wake of growing fears about the coronavirus outbreak and just days before Illinois’ March 17 primary.
“The health and safety of the public is our number one priority,” Biden’s campaign said in a statement. “We have been and will continue to consult with relevant officials, including our recently announced Public Health Advisory Committee, regarding steps the campaign should take to minimize health risks for staff and supporters.
On Thursday, the former vice president will deliver remarks on the coronavirus pandemic, and Friday’s and Monday’s events will become virtual events. Details are pending on what that will mean. Biden was to have attended back-to-back fundraisers on Friday — a breakfast and an early-afternoon reception — with high-profile donors on the guest lists in Chicago. Former supporters of Pete Buttigieg’s campaign and bundlers for Hillary Clinton’s and Barack Obama’s presidential campaigns were on the host lists. Former Commerce Secretary Penny Pritzker was also on both invites.
In an email to guests that was provided to POLITICO, organizers said: “In response to COVID-19, the Vice President and his team will be decamping in Philadelphia at headquarters until further notice.”. The organization previously resisted the classification.
It’s okay. We understand.
DBChirpy that’s presidential leadership.
Man alive, did the man with dementia pick the perfect time to run? No questioning, handlers don't have to hide or control him, they get break too
This isn't fooling anyone. Dems will use this virus to keep Biden out of the public spotlight. They know that he's a very weak candidate, borderline senile.
Dear America, can we please address the elephant in the room? The sitting president & the two delegate leaders in the Democrat primaries are all in the high risk population based on death rates from this virus it’s national security risk BTW TulsiGabbard isn’t & is still running
Not like he needs to campaign anyway. Networks been doing the job for him
Very convenient . Either way this is a pointless exercise. Might as well give him the nomination tomorrow morning move the election to next week and get people to vote for Trump... job done. We can on with our miserable lives for the next 4 yrs.
Is “coronavirus” code for “cognitive difficulty” in Biden camp? RosebudGardenStrategy
Will a trump cancel his rallies?
Preparing the ground to cancel the debate, more likely.
He’s not welcome in Chicago
Because Joe is a responsible leader who cares about the safety and well-being of the American people. JoeBiden2020
Or he has dementia There is that
Joe removing his snout from the trough - historical moment
Smart move!!
i thought it was fear of his GAFFES? and his challenges to BEAT up peo[ple behind the barn/wood shed ala POTUS.
