Biden took his virtual presidential campaign to the next level Monday when he launched a podcast as the coronavirus forces him to get creative in reaching voters.

The campaign said it plans to upload episodes regularly and to expand the conversations beyond the pandemic, although staffers acknowledge the topic will be revisited often as the nation continues to grapple with its life-altering effects.

In the past week, the campaign has held a number of virtual events, including question-and-answer sessions with workers helping patients recover from COVID-19, and a “happy hour” with young adults. It also launched a newsletter that will be emailed to supporters, featuring Biden’s recommendations on how to prevent coronavirus spread and movies to watch as they stay at home.

Campaign staffers say the podcast also allows them to remind listeners about what Biden is doing to stay on top of the crisis as he battles for national news coverage that has turned away from the presidential campaign to focus on the coronavirus. “I think it’s important for people to know that you’re talking to almost, every day, top economists about what to do about this," Klain told Biden on the podcast."You’re talking to Congressional leaders on Capitol Hill and making the point that it’s important that as we fight this economic crisis, we focus on people and families, not corporations.

“Why am I doing this?,” Biden asks listeners. “So we can keep talking to each other. We can’t hold rallies anymore, but we’re not gathering in big public spaces. We’re living in the new normal, but I want you to know that I’m with you and I’m on your side and we’re going to get through this together as a country.”

Did anyone watch it? I don’t know anyone that would! Really, he has nothing relevant to say!

jackjorgs will be unmuting myself and playing this during sales mtg

Hardest and busiest job in the world would be the editor

This should be some real comedy

I would like Joe Biden to act Presidential and work with the Trump Administration’s COVID-19 task force, vs. working on his own campaign. That to me would seal the election.

I see the Trumpers, Berners, and Rubots are out in force.

I wouldn't be buying any fireworks just yet if I was Joe.

Got a podcast? Revolutionary

Did he know where he was at?

What is going on with the IMPEACHMENT and ARRESTING this PRESIDENT? We the people have not forgotten! All this coronavirus mess going on is a trick Trump got up his sleeve to distract the world and to get votes!!! We have been stressed enough get them out!

Who?

Maybe one voter

He gives so much hope and clear vision

PammysParcels Do it at the same time as Trumpetbutt's TV show, please JoeBiden

You mean he needed someway to edit everything he says before anyone hears it.

Biden is a senile joke and yet NBC is such an anti-Trump garbage operation that no responsible person can take such an obvious propaganda operation seriously. NBC News management should be condemned as an enemy of the American Republic.

Creepy Joe probably requires a spike in adderall or pots of coffee to stay alert enough for a podcast without nodding off into noticeably senile lapses. GOP appear read to que the legion of young girls accusing Creepy Joe Biden of molesting them.

y’all are so biased it’s actually gross! Bernie Sanders has been updating people through live chats, virtual town halls etc. for weeks now and not a peep from y’all. Get recked

ADDRESS THE FUCKING RAPE ALLEGATIONS

NBC is pathetic.

Tara reade

Taking a campaign 'to the next level' is opinion, NBC. Please don't pass off opinion pieces as hard news.

He is just not into it

is NBC mocking us or are they really this ignorant?

A boomer definitely wrote this tweet.

Virtual? As in virtually dead 🤣🤣🤣

Nimrod.

Did you know he's a rapist?

Send it back

Joe doesn't know what year it is.

Creative. LoL

Biden leads Trump by nine points in latest Fox News pollIn a head-to-head matchup, Biden leads Trump by 49% to 40%, which is outside the poll’s margin of sampling error. It's also worth noting Biden bested Trump in two categories critical to his re-election: suburban women and voters ages 65 and older. Good luck Not a chance this is accurate. Another MSM attempt to influence voters. That’s the same thing they said of Hillary and we see how that worked out
