Amid a Pandemic, Trump and Biden’s Presidential Campaigns Vastly Differ

With so many people confined to their homes, the presence of Biden’s motorcade on a small street drew more than 200 people out onto their porches or the street.

The Bidens spent more than half an hour meeting in a quiet back patio with two teachers and a parent concerned about how to resume in-person learning during the pandemic.

The crowd cheered and chanted “Go Joe!” but the private meeting ran so long that Biden only interacted with them for less than a minute.

As he was leaving, he walked to the middle of the street and then, surrounded by Secret Service agents, bellowed, “Don’t forget to vote!”

Earlier this week, however, Biden took a moment after an event focused on labor leaders at a supporter’s house in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, to greet a crowd of about two dozen supporters that had assembled across the street.

Flanked by Secret Service agents, Biden said a few words to the crowd about his belief that Americans can do anything when they’re unified and about the need to vote, then spoke briefly to reporters and departed.

Later that day, Biden waved at a crowd of about 100 from the window of the AFL-CIO Pennsylvania headquarters but declined to come any nearer after leaving the building.
