Former Vice President Joe Biden will no longer travel to Milwaukee to accept the Democratic presidential nomination later this month because of concerns about the coronavirus pandemic and will instead address the nation from his home state of Delaware.
The convention will now be entirely virtual, according to a person familiar with the plans, something unprecedented in American political history.
Tired of upheaval,unrest,violence,untruth:Listen 2 'Happy,'by Pharrell Williams 'Because I'm Happy,Clap along if U feel like HAPPINESS is the TRUTH Because I'm Happy,Clap along if U feel like that's what U wanna do Bring me down,Can't do nothin' Bring me down My level's too high
I think it’s a little more than that security police officers are not signing up to provide security in Milwaukee that’s the bigger issue
Someone should tell Biden he can’t lead the country while hiding in the basement.
I’d blame Coronavirus too if my candidate’s campaign was operating on a ‘Weekend At Bernie’s’ strategy.
Cop out! he's going to loss !
Good for him
Is Biden delivering his remarks from his bunker?
Shocked. Hiding in basement
Is this really breaking news while Trump and Deutsche Bank are about to go through it with Manhattan prosecutors?
KarenSalitis He's smart.
SethAbramson That’s an ingenuous headline. The convention is going virtual (like everything else has been forced to in this trump virus swamp) and no one is going to Milwaukee for the convention!
Stay safe Joe, the world is counting on you.
Dementia is a horrible disease.
*dementia concerns 👴🏻
Digital Biden/Moloch 2020! youaintblack BlueWave 🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊
Coward
Staur69 lol
That makes him smart.
WOW! So if he’s elected, will he go to DC or would he be afraid to go there too?
Covid my Ass. Dementia
notPresidentialmaterial
Prerecorded so they can find the one take where he doesn't stumble around? Will his speeches be spliced between takes? Reporters should ask. Will he only communicate with world leaders from White House basement if elected?
And the people of Milwaukee are devistated I’m sure ... they’re loosing sleep as we speak...
Basement Biden is scurrred!! 😂😂😂
So they can tape him and try to pass it off as live.
He has a conflicting appointment ... he’s getting ready to check in
Nothing to do with cognitive decline, we swear!
Lead from the basement!
If he wins, will he run the country from that basement in Delaware?
Dementia has taken over. He can’t talk in public...
he should still go to Milwaukee..and do the Virtual acceptance from there...to kinda show that they kept their word
CaraRLombardo Due to gaffe concerns you mean
It should be required to be live.
I thought Hillary Clinton ran a bad campaign. Clinton is Harry Truman compared to Biden.
'due to corona virus concerns'
Because attending would require leaving the basement.
This can't be politically smart. The virus is out there and we are going to have to live with it to some extent. Doesn't really exude confidence. I don't want someone who wants to lock it down and go into a hole.
They are designing his basement to look like the Oval Office.
Has anyone seen Joe Biden in person or are all his “appearances” just deep fake videos or a body double?
Lol
I'll bet this has more to do with the fact that 100+ police departments refused to offer protection than the reasons stated, and yet the public is supposed to feel safe with police being defunded. There was no health concerns attending last weeks campaign speech/funeral.
He won’t leave his basement ....ever...lol
Would be nice if a presidential candidate could show that a balance in living in this covid world is possible. His actions communicate fear and that he is a high risk health person. Not reassuring when his age and health is already in question.
Why are they still doing it then?
but he says standing in line to vote for him is fine. sending kids to school is fine. hm. must be his childhood stutter.
Shocker
Smart man
Good
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.
Waahhh US C19 death rate 0.047%, whatcha afraid of Joe? You can’t stay 6’ away from folks, fly private jet? Or is just an excuse? 99.96% of Americans have not died after 10 months.
He’s already hunkering down? C’mon. You’re gunning for POTUS, you can’t be running away. Covid is obviously a cover because your speeches are hilarious.
Joe Biden died in August 2017 this is merely a hologram / CGI, with George Soros and Hillary Clinton / HUSSEIN Obama writing its script! WAKE UP!
Hiding in the basement. If Joe won’t come out of the basement, he certainly can’t run the government.
HidinBiden
PamelaFalk Breaking: Joe Biden makes intelligent, fact-informed decisions.
How can DementiaJoe be POTUS if he can't even travel to another state?
Lol scared people will see he has dementia
It’s over....there is something seriously wrong with him and its all game-play by his party
Of course, health concerns. Has nothing to do with 100+ police agencies withdrawing from agreements to send personnel to the event, or that the candidate oftentimes seems a bit out of this world.
Traditionally, candidates did not attend nominating conventions. The Democratic Convention is going to be mostly virtual anyway, so what's the big deal? VoteBlueToEndThisNightmare
Good. We need him vertical so we can destroy trump at polls.
And yet my daughter who is a teacher and high risk is expected back at work.
Sure
SethAbramson A very wise and informed choice! This had to be a difficult choice for Biden to make. You know he wants to get out and talk with the people. Biden is a face to face people person that listens!
Of course he won’t!
Weekend at Bernies Part 3: The Presidential Campaign.
Coward!
Next up, no debates. Especially with a black moderator. Can't having him calling black interviewers junkies with that many people watching.
Diminished joe 😢
Come on... tell the truth... they got behind on the cryogenic re-animation process and he wasn't going to be ready in time
No need to travel anywhere Mr Biden. Smart choice. No ego busting parties/rallies needed during a pandemic. Stay healthy sir!
will his remarks be live or pre-recorded?
But schools are safe!
Don’t care
Basement Joe.
SethAbramson Still in his basement?
SethAbramson Smart decision...
And unlike trump, will not be violating the Hatch Act.
It will be similar to a Star Wars Film, Joe Biden will just communicate as a Hologram. A.I. will enhance his intellect as well.
JoeBidenHasDementia He can’t even find the website
If he can't leave his basement, how can he run a country?
SethAbramson TrollsAreOutInForce
SethAbramson there is NO CONVENTION to go to... getitright
biden's basement
Leading by example, how refreshing.
I don't understand why Mr. Biden wouldn't go. He can travel by private transport the entire way there and back. Everyone around him can be screened. It wouldn't be any riskier than it is for the rest of us just going to the store. This seems odd for such an important moment.
If he does it by zoom he’ll never work out how to unmute himself.
Pathetic excuse,, coward. Must be failing more every day.
comeoutofthebasementjoebiden
I wonder if Biden will get backlash like realDonaldTrump did when he did backed out for the same reason...
So now it starts.. Next he will cancel his appearance at the debates.....
