Joe Biden says the Democratic National Convention may need to take place virtually as a result of the deepening coronavirus outbreak. He also says he intends to wear a mask in public.

Democrats had originally planned to hold the Milwaukee convention in July with the aim of building early momentum that could bring the party together in the bid to unseat President Trump from the White House.

But party officials postponed the convention for a month, which means it will take place — whether in person or otherwise — just a week before the Republicans hold their nominating gathering in Charlotte.by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as a measure to slow the spread of the fast-spreading coronavirus.

Trump, however, said he does not plan to heed the federal government's guidance by wearing a face covering himself. "He may not like how he looks in a mask," Biden said of the president, saying it is a matter of following science.Biden said Sunday he recently rang up Sanders as a courtesy to inform him that he was beginning the process of vetting potential vice presidential candidates, despite the fact that the Democratic race for president is not over.

"I was basically apologizing and making it clear I wasn't trying to be presumptuous, in any way push him," Biden said."And he said he appreciated that."

It's the best way to control the narrative, undermine voters wanting change, and to select Biden unopposed. It's a power play at it's finest. Hopefully, Democrats will see through this sham.

too bad the state of the union was live , why do we treat potus , as only person who can think , do a job , responsible for everybodies serenity , if dumb ole joe gets elected , doesn't invade every week , waterboard

trump went to ukraine gave away 500 mill opm , biden went to ukraine they gave the bidens money ; also trump seemed to be f====g with the russians , some experts say , russia has 6000 perfectly good nukes

got to admit usa didn't get shut down on his watch

He needs a mask to stop sniffing girls hair and to not rape them.

Here’s your mask 🤡

We can’t understand what he says without a mask on, imagine him talking with one on ?

Biden has not been seen in public in three weeks, unlike Biden the rest of us who need to shop for essentials!!! This dementia addled elder knows nothing and adds nothing to the conversation or solution.

But the vote Joe! Promote universal vote by mail!

the real reason is so that he can have time for his puppet handlers to craft a sub 7 minute speech and give him time to practise

MAY need to take place virtually? duh.

Has he had something “done 2 his eyes?”

Oh goodie! He finished a sentence! BidenSpeaks politics

Make sure you tell Sen. Sanders.

He's already been wearing his bernie sanders mask all year. But he'll definitely take that one off at the convention.

He will fall asleep. Or be touching himself since he won’t be able to rub anyone else.

Every single time.

He also has dementia. But isn’t allowed to talk about that.

Funny...within the past few days, he's encouraged people to vote in the WI primaries instead of delaying it until the crisis is over.

Glad to hear Biden will stop grab and sniff tactics. 🕺

Thank you. Leaders need to set an example.

Look at him. Biden is losing his mind.

That would be WISE if he wants to make it to Elections2020! We ALL need our ThinkingCaps on under those MASKS! COMMONSENSE COVID19 SIXFEETAPART!SOCIALDISTANCING! (YES! I AM YELLING at ALL the EXTRA-s slow learners!) PRAY!

*sad Milwaukee noises*

JoeBiden TESTING TESTING TESTING

We all should be wearing a mask in public until we get a vaccine for this nightmare.

But the U.S. doesn't need a single-payer, universal health-care system? 🤔

A former VP name of Biden Obama’s coattails is ridin’ The pandemic begins And to voter's chagrin Sleepy joe appears to be hidin' Rrosa Seconda aka Dr. Connor.

“He intends to wear a mask in public.” lol...so basically never since he no longer leaves his compound.

JOE NEEDS A MENTAL INSTITUTION

Hey Joe ,can my family get the masks your going to use for a photo op and discard in the trash?

He's a politician, he has always worn a mask

He will just wander off camera and then Jill or his handler will then sit him back down, wipe the drool from his chin and point at the camera, ' there Joey, there!'

So Biden wants AUGUST’s convention to be held virtually, but is ok with next TUESDAY’s primary being an in-person voting? Classic example of how these people protect each other and couldnt careless about the average voter. DemExit Covid19 neverbiden

Will that mask keep his useless diatribe in check. If yes, then lets cheer it on. What do you think realDonaldTrump

Moron

Ts this man running for President? He's a frontrunner? The DNC TheDemocrats allows these interviews to be done inside library? A lot of people will be voting for this man reluctantly and here we again see him once a week from a den. STOP LETTING NYGovCuomo Fill the Vacuum.

.how is Sanders why aren't we hearing what he thinks? he's much more interesting.

Can he cover his entire face?

You can wear a mask when you aren't getting Trump Bronzer™️ 3x daily.

no sniffing either uncle joe

Can't stand Trump, but Biden....*smh*
