After months of political jokes about him hiding in his basement, Joe Biden (pictured) looks set to join President Trump in returning to the campaign trail in September.
"I’m a tactile politician. I really miss being able to, you know, grab hands, shake hands, you can’t do that now. But I can, in fact, appear beyond virtually, in person, in many of these places. That’s what you’re going to be seeing after Labor Day," the 2020 Democratic presidential nominee said Thursday.
Biden, the two-term vice president, listed Arizona, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin as likely destinations during a fundraiser hosted by the Illinois Trial Lawyers Association. But he promised that any plans would adhere to local and state rules "about how many people can, in fact, assemble."
"We’re going to do it in a way that is totally consistent with being responsible, unlike what this guy’s doing," he said, referring to Trump's nomination acceptance speech Thursday at the White House.
Citing Delaware public health guidance, Biden has been stuck mostly in his home state, holding digital events and giving interviews from his estate since March because of the coronavirus pandemic.
He will be well advised to take good speech writers and a reliable teleprompter with him when he finally emerges from his basement.
